not sure I understand the relevance of most comments here, but the Pixies defined a whole new genre of music - before Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc (all great bands). I think of them as a superb blend of punk and folk with a rock underlayer, all stripped down, but not so basic to be uninteresting. Francis and Kim did a great job trading vocals and 'front' for the songs and I consider the Pixies to be as important as, say, the Clash or the Ramones to the music that followed.
wouldn't really consider Sonic Youth as grunge, their more noise and alternative. I love both bands, but the Pixies seemed a lot more grunge than Sonic Youth. Anyway, I think Sonic Youth just inspired a bunch of bands no matter what genre they were.
This video, when compared to all the other versions, shows how important it is to play it "right", which can be determined only by having nothing but the enjoyment of your audience in mind. With love.
Saw them in '92 between nights opening for U2. I am amazed Kim's still alive, the way she was chainsmoking through the whole set - I swear, singing this was the only timeout she took from cancer sticks.
She was particularly good on the base in this performance. She also had a lot more enthusiasm in her voice in this one, too. Enthusiasm is what makes a big big love.
Kim, i was lucky to hear this in the 1980s. I'm still lucky now. Often when my kids play stuff I stop them and shout "Hey, where is my mind?". They laugh.
I find it interesting because Frank Black said that they create the lyrics as an afterthought on most of their songs. idk about this one, but if these lyrics were made just to fit with the instrumental writing, thats awesome
Huh? I'm soo sick too that someone covered this on his/her channel. I might barf I'm soo sick. The Pixies really ushered in an era and I really didn't realize it at the time. Looking back, I should have thought that they were more brilliant than just fun.
@@robertotretola4133 Except for that time she went to rehab for heroin in 1994. That's why The Breeders never became more popular. She was battling her demons.
There are no Pixies without Kim Deal.
muh trompe le monde
Every time they tour I say "No Deal, no deal."
Shes got a twin
@@adams1585And ?
Exactly, no Pixies without Kim Deal. Somebody tell black Francis that, who was once quoted saying "I am the Pixies".
Was he fuck.
she can't help smiling when she plays. thats one of the things i like about her.
In to the white

That's it.
They are true.
IT's the music.
I'm watching this video and falling in love with her as she sings.

A big big love to you Kim ... the Pixies will never be the same!
I swear she is the cutest thing I've ever seen, how she's always smiling on stage, it just kills me.
Truly one of the greatest bands of my life time. To get specific 1974 to now.
She was particularly good on the base in this performance. She also had a lot more enthusiasm in her voice in this one, too. Enthusiasm is what makes a big big love.

Kim deal the bassist of the pixies is pretty bad ass
nice
Dear Kim,
Thank you for encouraging me to observe good dental hygiene.
Kim deserves so much more credit than she actually gets. The band is awesome either way but owes its uber coolness to that chick
Such a fucking rad band.
whiskey + kim deal and i am a happy man
Sont très forts les publicitaires Apple. ça me ramène 25 ans en arrière. Surfer Rosa for ever.
yes it is
Today Kim left The Pixies, wish I could see them playing live together :/
Kurt Cobain should've married Kim Deal
They definitely could of helped each other do heroin more effectively
Or Mary Lou Lord.
@@atripa645 Kim didn't do heroine, just weed and alcohol, an awful lot of alcohol indeed
@@robertotretola4133 Except for that time she went to rehab for heroin in 1994. That's why The Breeders never became more popular. She was battling her demons.
Michael Harvill I thought that was Kelley...
Kim reminds me of Kate in Lost. Hot stuff!
dammit, I think I love you Kim.
Kim Deal and Stevie Nicks- best female rock vocals, ever.
Well I like Lorie Anderson,Kate Bush, Nina Hagen & a few others who knock my socks off.
certainly not small in stature!
LOL you read my mind ^.^
