    This is a great performance, Lovering and Santiago, one clock and one wall of texturised sound, that’s not a guitar sound that’s like a canvas for the rest of the band. Far away for its time, no wonder why Radiohead loved Santiago so much. The Pixies will always be my favourite band.

    • @sunnyjim1355
      @sunnyjim1355 Год назад +3

      You nailed it - "one wall of texturised sound". Exactly like how JS Bach wrote music - whom I consider to have had the greatest creative mind EVER in human history. What astonished me about The Pixies is how they coordinated their individual playing to produce such masterpieces? You can't write this down on paper and expect it to be performed as you write it. Their music is organic and symbiotic.. that alone is why The Pixies are SUCH a special band.

      zweiosterei you, like my brother, like to take shots at Fatso. But these niggas roughed it through an obvious technical difficulty, all with Kim's cocaine buck tooth, like nothing ever happened on this one. He's one of the greatest rock and roll front men ever. Great musician and songwriter.
