this man has made my earth walk so much more enjoyable i love his soul ...genius on every level..even a lemurian feline being from inner earth recognized his genius and encountered him ... hence the song velouria
Great performance and wow, Frank's lost weight! Good work, Mr. Black! God I love The Pixies and Frank Black/Black Francis! So lucky to have seen him perform live.
oh god the version of Greens and Blues is so good. it's actually sickeningly good. if anyone reads this, have a listen to Frank/Charles whatever's earliest recordings. you'll find them on TH-cam. to me this is the closest you'll get to that.
amazing songs amazing band amaziing musician creatiivity siimpliciity genius ii m running out of words pixies were my heroes in 87 they are gods now and forever when you can write and perform such tunes , i mean come oon you fear no one you re above
Justin Redmond He does, all over. Precor I think he calls it. He is a fukkin creative god. There's a corner of a street in Portsmouth, England, where he did exactly that. It's outside a pub where my bass player used to DJ, just down the road from a venue where we played a few times...he played there that night. Whenever I'm that way I drive past and sit at the traffic lights, where Big Charles busked. There is no one else as far as I know that does this. Love him.
Oh, C.M.K.T.- you always amaze me with ur solo,& I mean that here,as in performing solo gigs. Watchin' this one first time- love these numbers,& finally did catch u solo,circa 05,06,Chattanooga. What a super benefit,here. Harmony& wellness out ,M
I've seen some pretty good shows in my life, and a lot of Frank's performances are the most unbelievable things I have ever witnessed. Off the charts songwriting, great guitar work and an incredible voice. Call me biased, but I think his solo records are better than the Who, the Rolling Stones, Zepplin, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, you name it. Or any artist since.
Big O'l Frank you can come to Ensenada and have a big walk here in this big beach with me and Luna, you are going to love it, it is a BLAST!, love you since '93. Come to BAJA please!
Nice to hear him explain what/who "I burn today" is about. While Frank is usually rather cryptic with his lyrics I always felt this song was a little more personal for his leanings...
***** And I said in my original comment that no one who knows the slightest thing about music underestimates Black Francis, thereby strongly implying that I couldn't give a crack whether some Zakk Wylde impersonator at Guitar Center knows who Black Francis is or not. Folks whose opinion actually matters (like PJ Harvey) rate the Pixies highly and acknowledge their debt to them.
Fight club gave the right to a bunch of sleight of hand visual artists to become a little bit smug when they had only given up their solos. Fuck the Bahamas someone called someone else a bad word. Got banned everyone is not singing. Good job computer nerd. Go you’re gonna have to be so tough and write so hard to your idols that they forget to ask you if you know who you are. When you are only trying. Love you man FB I was just writing in my notebook while you were playing and talking.
So what do your kids think of Frank? The other Frank, sorry Zappa, God I still giggle like a kid when I even think of some of those now. lol Well, like they say at the Grocery Store every time I check out to which I always Respond, "Ÿou put your Bananas in the Bag". I don't even buy bananas. I have to tell you that I really got into your solo albums before I went back to discover your stuff with the Band, Not The Band of course I think a Basement Tapes would suit you Quite well. Youre on a very short list of folks that I think could pull it off. Anyway, I dig your music and it's cool that you read Lyrics to your kids. Good night.
![Frank Black plus Tenacious D "Oh My Golly" LIVE [at the Echoplex] (line cut and mix)](/img/n.gif)
One of the most talented musicians of the whole Rock history !
such an epic song writer
clearly
This guy is literally one of the best LIVING song writers of my time..
Super prolific and massively underrated. A similar artist is Mac McCaughan (Superchunk, Portastatic, etc).
Agree. Is the kind of lyrics I would love to write
Never once has Frank disappointed. Great set.
Greens and blues is quite beautiful. Amazing to see how passionate he still is.
You should all listen to Frank Black and The Catholic’s”The Complete Recordings “
That's been on shuffle for weeks now on my player. Thanks for the shout out, but now others will know our secret
Love it when he says rock me joey.

Genius
I absolutely adore the Pixies. Frank is the man!
i really like frank black as a solo artist! i burn today is always in my playlist!!
Most underrated frontman of the 90s indie scene
My daughter turns 11 on 8/31/14. I only hope I can pass on this love of live music, Frank Black? Greens and Blues...
Frank was, is, and always will be the best...............................................................
This man is my absolute hero.
Great performance and wow, Frank's lost weight! Good work, Mr. Black! God I love The Pixies and Frank Black/Black Francis! So lucky to have seen him perform live.
Yup ..he looks great. Saw him in an intimate place in San Francisco like 11 years ago, and he was like 50 pounds heavier
c'est vraiment génial !! pixies ...!! toute ma jeunesse , super Franck! amitie .....rock attitude
I enjoyed this so much. Never realised the Pixies are kinda born from folk music
"Third verse, same as the first" Frank Black is great !
Hilarious Ramones reference!
oooBUBU7ooo I think it’s referencing violent femmes actually
@@charlie-hk2ei no, definitely the Ramones. They released Judy is a punk way before the violent femmes even formed.
oh god the version of Greens and Blues is so good. it's actually sickeningly good. if anyone reads this, have a listen to Frank/Charles whatever's earliest recordings. you'll find them on TH-cam. to me this is the closest you'll get to that.
A Million thumbs is not enough.
amazing songs amazing band amaziing musician creatiivity siimpliciity genius ii m running out of words
pixies were my heroes in 87 they are gods now and forever
when you can write and perform such tunes , i mean come oon you fear no one you re above
this guy is fucking amazing!
his solo albums are also pretty awesome!
As always, Black Francis plays skillfully and sings with passion.
My love for you will never die Frank!
Love Frank. Good performance.
Good man for taking the time to do this only a couple of hours before a Pixies concert!
MyMusicRx would be kinda cool if Frank would randomly busk one day lol, charitable causes are cool too though!
Justin Redmond He does, all over. Precor I think he calls it. He is a fukkin creative god. There's a corner of a street in Portsmouth, England, where he did exactly that. It's outside a pub where my bass player used to DJ, just down the road from a venue where we played a few times...he played there that night. Whenever I'm that way I drive past and sit at the traffic lights, where Big Charles busked. There is no one else as far as I know that does this. Love him.
even with a little bit of voice trouble, I hope the health's OK. I love you, Charles!
+MyMusicRx and so fun to see this being played for the kids...
Wonderful! Thank you so much dear Frank!
always have and aways will love it!
So damn good. So damn good. Goosebumps healing the mind and soul good. One the greatest to ever write. A godfather of music.
I love Andro Queen, such a good song
¡Que genio! Nunca me canso de escucharle. Gracias
Oh, C.M.K.T.- you always amaze me with ur solo,& I mean that here,as in performing solo gigs. Watchin' this one first time- love these numbers,& finally did catch u solo,circa 05,06,Chattanooga. What a super benefit,here. Harmony& wellness out ,M
All these people videoing with their cell phones and then they post this high def vid on youTube. lol . Great video. Love this guy.
his voice has aged and got a bit more dirt to it, sounds really good
this is so unbelievably aweome
this is f'n awesome. thank you

2:15 "rock me joey" he is evoking his spirit
a great thing to say it even playing alone. great franckblack!
very sad
@@intencionmotriz4107 He’s not dead😎.
A fertile soul. Thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful performance! Thanks Frank.
great perfomance
That's a nice looking guitar
I wonder which model it is,it sounds so good .....
Big O'l Frank you can come to Ensenada and have a big walk here in this big beach with me and Luna, you are going to love it, it is a BLAST!, love you since '93. Come to BAJA please!
Loving on our bed of flowers
Smelling in the scent of her musk
I LOVEEEE PIXIES.
BRAZIL LOVE PIXIES
MY MOTHER LOVE PIXIES
EVERYBODY HERE LOVE PIXIES
IN BRAZIL 2017 The TE OPEN ARMS WAITING
I love you all, you know? As I love Pixies in place that only few people actually even know them (besides the few hits like Where is my mind)
so beautifullllllll
Excellent as usual,thanks sir
love that guitar
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
Happy 50th Frank Black!
I owe this man so much but I can never repay him
Pixies e umas das minhas banda top 10 ... The best
Simply amazing. I'm glad I found this.
his lyrics are metaphorical to all of us and himself.
GRACIAS
The real musician is like Frank never cares how they look nor what instruments on their hand ,And just play god damn beautiful music .
12:45. when she realizes who is in front of her. priceless
Guy Salomon Yeah she looked like she had to google who he was...
Excellent !
Great!!!
This is the best version of Andro Queen by far.
lol when he says rock me joey
awesome
Nice to hear him explain what/who "I burn today" is about. While Frank is usually rather cryptic with his lyrics I always felt this song was a little more personal for his leanings...
It is soo wonderful
What a guy
Love Francis !!
Such a casual rock star.
love it !
The best
in Argentina this man is considered a genius...a cult...
The Argentines are indeed seen as having good taste.
in Russia as well i think him to be a great composer
Even God considers this guy a genius, perhaps even more than his son Jesus :-)
To me hes one of the greatest musicians of all times!!! And im so surprised Argentinians had such good taste! Rock on Argentina!!!
We love him in Australia too. There is much joy to be felt at Pixies shows, everyone is so happy to be there
Genius
buenísimo👍
This man has my entire fucking heart
would've loved to had seen paz with her violin
I’d like to hear Frank Black read any lyrics dramatically
Who engineered this?!! Sounds really good!
Not to mention, how do you book Frank Black for a small intimate gig :)
+Scotty Henderson We got connected to him through one of our organization's generous champions. Frank was willing because he's got a big heart!
Scotty Henderson Kind of cool they got such a good sound with one condenser mic... Frank still rocks!!!
Great Shout mate. The sound quality is superb indeed!
Not everyone's cup tea but completely original great song writer
This harambe has gone to heaven
Andro Queen is so moving.
nice guitar
That’s so redeeming how did you just do that? I swear andro Queen is my favorite song of yours. I want to jam.
he's soooooooo under rated, almost makes me sick
who underrates him?
+DV “Eppish” Epps the world! his album sales and popularity are proof..
+Matt Griffin the pixies are known as one of the best bands in the world by pretty much everyone. I wouldn't call him underrated myself.
+Matt Griffin He's the best ever American songwriter IMO probably only equalled by the likes of Brian Wilson, Jimi Hendrix & Joanna Newsom!
*****
And I said in my original comment that no one who knows the slightest thing about music underestimates Black Francis, thereby strongly implying that I couldn't give a crack whether some Zakk Wylde impersonator at Guitar Center knows who Black Francis is or not.
Folks whose opinion actually matters (like PJ Harvey) rate the Pixies highly and acknowledge their debt to them.
without Charles there would never have been a Kurt or a Nirvana (power chords)
Rile'n 'em where the sun never sets.
Also, if anyone's wondering why the downvotes, it's because God is 7.
to me pixies = magic
Frank ! enough said
I wish he screamed at "God is seven"
What? No... no, I was talking to Kim...
isn't that on a different song on the surfer rosa though?
Comicbookstoreguy177
I don't remember exactly where it was in the album.
Love you guys xD
It's right after Oh my golly! and before Vamos!
I’ve been so disconnected for so long I’m not sure if this will work either⛳️
I... can I borrow those lights????
Charles re-styled his stage name as Black Francis in 2007.
we're all a part of 7
Was this filmed in Portland Oregon? Judging by the intro segway.
Anyone know what brand of guitar that is? I can't read the logo.
It's a Breedlove Guitar
MyMusicRx The guitar sounds awesome.
MyMusicRx Thanks for the answear, cheers from Argentina!
+MyMusicRx is it just acoustic or acoustic electric?
I believe the Breedlove he's using is strictly acoustic.

What kinda Takamine is he playing?
Man is 5, devil is 6, heaven is 7, Charles is 8
So.. Is "I Burn Today" about The Clap?
It's about his girlfriend going through cancer treatment....radiation.
rock me joey
