I find this song (Caribou) haunting. I saw Black Francis (at the time) getting out of his big white Town Car before a show and told him this was my favorite song (that week), he said they hadn't played it on tour yet and he played it that night and dedicated it to me. Coolest thing that ever happened to me.
I don't know how to link it, but the documentary included with their greatest hits DVD has this live show and clips of Bowie and others like Vlur talking about how this show influenced them
mutinyontheark I was like, Vlur? Hmm let me UA-cam that, sounds interesting. Blurs good too lol. The Bowie tip is however and appreciated. I bet he was impressed. Which is hard to do I would think.
@@Undaglibenglaubengloben i was there! and a recording of this song was given away on a vinyl EP free with the NME a while later - I always liked this version better than the album! Great song!
+joe smith Their one of those bands if you don't get em you probably never will. And if you do nothing else compares. Bands today could learn thing or two from these guys.
I bought my first pixies cd on a whim. My cousin was in town. He, my brother, and I went to tower records in fresno. The plan was to each buy a new cd to listen to while we played D&D that night and drink jolt cola. I walked past the pixies cd with the taxidermy monkey on the cover, and I immediately froze. I felt something. I just new there was something good in there. I showed my cousin the cd I was going to buy. He asked if I'd ever heard them. I said no. He thought it was dumb to buy a cd of a band I've never heard of. But I did it anyways. I don't remember what he or my brother bought. Cause we never got a chance to listen to them. We played that pixies cd over and over all night long on repeat. Ever song was a hit, and we all were big fans from then on.
Good Thing Doolittle was out on 4AD.Hope youve Dove bk in to all their ESSENTIAL bk catalogue myself was turned on to Come on pilgrim/Surfa Rosa.+Dolittle By a good mate whom wanted to sleep w)-Girlfreind.They did Sm Lsd.i was no Way..but il look after you"s.which i did.Bringing cups o'Tea.cigs..were allgoodi now a days PIXIES Cuts thru all.in my esteemed opinion.lol.n.z.TROMPE LA MONDE.+OTHERS Kinda dont seem to get the results the 1',st three lp'$ do.😮😊
they were as good as it gets - and more than predicted . I saw them in 89 /90/93 and it was unbelievable . one of the most impressive bands live ...ever !
Brixton 1991, chech their "Tame" song , i think is one of the best songs played on live concert : ua-cam.com/video/4i6jtsCpImo/v-deo.htmlsi=GCMiPa1V6BeKtIya
Brixton 1991 check out their "Tame" song , one of the best songs played live in my opinion: ua-cam.com/video/4i6jtsCpImo/v-deo.htmlsi=GCMiPa1V6BeKtIya But then again there are plenty of shows that we never going to watch couse recording shows was not a common thing to do back in the 90's , expecially at the beggining of the decade.
Barb Rogers, same. I just saw them play with Weezer last night in Portland, used up all of my savings to get as close to the stage as possible for The Pixies, then left after they were done and didn’t stay for more than 2/3 Weezer songs
this is a concert i REALLY wish i would have been to. too bad i wasnt born yet. just imagine hearing Hey for the first time ever like this... i would have been so hyped for their next album, which would come out the next year. Doolittle that is. wow great concert really.
So unique... I remember I saw them quasi-live on the documentary channel many years ago and I was peaked out on acid. I fell in love with them ever since, heh. It'll never waver.
@@mumbles215 I've no reason to believe that's a fundamentally necessary thing that happens to all people who take acid (or any psychedelic for that matter). I don't plan on seeing 50 anyway, heh, but if I'm unlucky enough to see that age, I'll take them like a champ. Farewell.
best recording of caribou, best recording of something against you, best recording of hey. heck, i feel like this show had the best recording of each of the songs they played
Snot Nose The Goblin Anything that involves Charles Thompson screaming is far better live! There's a live version of River Euphrates on UA-cam that's just awesome and rips your face off :D
I.Love this song and always start with it when I'm busking in the streets ...it lets people know I'm gonna play divisive shit! Best buzz is when an indie kid comes up and.is all 'is that..?' REPENT!!!!!
Caribou" I live cement I hate this street Give dirt to me I bite lament This human form Where I was born I now repent Caribou [3x] Repent Re-pe-ent Give me white Ground to run And foregone Lets me knife Knife me lets I will get What I like Caribou [3x] Repent Rep-pent
Territorial pissings by nirvana could have been lifted directly from ‘something against you here’?. Similar structure before the ‘loud quiet loud’ thing credited to nirvana but actually was a Pixies creation
+alphermail wonder if a young thom yorke is in the crowd at this show? maybe even the whole band was in attendance they would have been what? 20 something?
Seems like they were already developing a big following in 88 in the UK, these guys weren't even on my radar until October of 1988 when I saw them open up for the Jesus and Mary chain in New York City at a club called The World how is it immediately shook when I saw them for their first time

Kim always looks so happy, Black looks pissed of, David is feeling the jam and Joey doesn't show any feelings at all!
Classic pixies

Sweet
I love that im jealous
Haha
Sure Jan....
you must be one of the most fortunate person alive
David Bowie was there. He wanted to see if they could recreate the sounds of their album live. They didn't disappoint. Epic.
really? he was in that show? wow, great data
Any proofs?
I don't know how to link it, but the documentary included with their greatest hits DVD has this live show and clips of Bowie and others like Vlur talking about how this show influenced them
I mean Blur, but mobile UA-cam without the app...isn't great. I can't even edit
mutinyontheark I was like, Vlur? Hmm let me UA-cam that, sounds interesting. Blurs good too lol. The Bowie tip is however and appreciated. I bet he was impressed. Which is hard to do I would think.
Doolittle hadn’t been released and nobody had heard Hey yet, so when Charles said ‘hey’, some people in the audience said hey back :)
Imagine hearing Hey for the first time at that show :0
The response to Black Francis saying "Hey!" started as (planned?) coincidence and became a tradition.
youre telling me....there were people who listened to this song for the first time....LIVE??? i cant imagine how i wouldve reacted. probably in tears
Just imagine being there and hearing this
@@Undaglibenglaubengloben i was there! and a recording of this song was given away on a vinyl EP free with the NME a while later - I always liked this version better than the album! Great song!
There's music. Then there's crazy genius music. The latter we're still listening to 30+ years later.
YEAH (at 50, have been a while, but I'm DIGGING IT now again!)
Pixies is one of those bands that makes me not give a shit about the other bands....
joe smith Radiohead and Pixies
+cristo quintana you know it man, those two bands rule alt music and will never die, although pixies took their fucking time
+joe smith Their one of those bands if you don't get em you probably never will. And if you do nothing else compares. Bands today could learn thing or two from these guys.
+joe smith I wish I had friends who only wanted to listen to the pixies with me lol :'(
Goblin Big Boss Red Pants
A mark of a band is how they sound live. The Pixies are one of the few bands that sound BETTER live then on their albums! AMAZING!!!!
One of the best live bands I ever saw, they were amazing.Anyine who doesn't get The Pixies doesn't get music. They were amazing :-)
In my extensive viewing of Pixies videos, this must have been one of the best shows they ever did?
I'd have to agree. Caribou was glorious
May 1 1988 - I was there!!! It was incredible.
The town n country is famed for it's live sound, which is why a lot of bands record live albums there. I've no idea why that is but it definitely is
Town n Country was a great venue - worked in Kentish Town and 10 minute walk to Hampstead Heath for lunch - nice!
I concur
This is something that we will listen in 30 years from now and say holy shit! that was history.
iguisard no they will say 'is this from the future?' just like we do now.
We listen to it now and say it's history.
I already am doing, 36 years later thanks
Stone cold bass goddess.
I heard someone refer to Kim as "A stone cold bass godess". I think that's too perfect.
There is a Pixies reunion tour movie called "Loud Quiet Loud" It involves their concert in Reykjavik. Teenaged Icelandic girls seem to luvve Kim Deal.
I love Kim Deal
The most perfect rock band ever.

That’s awesome and one of those things I miss about just browsing record stores and rolling the dice on something. You hit the jackpot.

Great band cool Fresno California x- I seen em think Borderline London
@@Mr420pan similar with me. I was always drawn the artwork on Pixies albums. I wish I took the plunge before I did!
I don t know the story of alternative rock but I am sure the pixies has a big place in it. HEY is a masterpiece
i just can't get over how amazing they are. Never heard anything like it
they were as good as it gets - and more than predicted . I saw them in 89 /90/93 and it was unbelievable . one of the most impressive bands live ...ever !
Johannes Andersen leaders. Pioneers. Your favorite bands favorite band.
@@EGoltz Except my favorite band does happen to be pixies :D
This is the best recording of Caribou, in my opinion. I really like it.
Yeah! The drums kicks ass!
@@krzysiekjaworski1147yes
The Pixies. The one and only. Is there a better live show of theirs than this one? They’re so good live it’s possible.
Live at Brixton 1991 is massive.
Also, I saw them at horseshoe in Toronto in 2015... a bar with capacity of a few hundred. It felt like watching this clip!!

Zachariah Whiton pixies are 100x better than weezer
Zachariah Whiton but I still like weezer
I’d sell my soul to see Deal play with Pixies one more time
So many great songs by The Pixies, but "Caribou" is my personal top-fav track of theirs -- love singing along with Frank on the "caribooooo " chorus!
Saw them in San Diego in '90 Halloween night. Pere Ubu opened for them. Absolutely incredible.
Dave Lovering is awesome.
MattMonk hes a magician
he's certainly a very busy drummer
this is a concert i REALLY wish i would have been to. too bad i wasnt born yet. just imagine hearing Hey for the first time ever like this... i would have been so hyped for their next album, which would come out the next year. Doolittle that is. wow great concert really.
Lo que transimiten estos tipos es... es indescriptible
This exact version of Caribou was the first song I heard by The Pixies, and the reason I'm obsessed with them still
scaredypicker fight club then caribou for me
I could shed a tear with immense glory!
This is amazing. It shows how much the instruments and voices matter. Talent. They straight shredded it! Love this thank you for posting.
So unique...
I remember I saw them quasi-live on the documentary channel many years ago and I was peaked out on acid. I fell in love with them ever since, heh. It'll never waver.
Just enjoy the flashbacks when they come….I do. They’re real too. Wait till your over 50. Lol.

god i love caribou. something about the melody. so beautiful. and his scream of repent. so haunting.
real. melancholic, even.
There will never be another band like the pixies they paved the way for great bands! 🤘
Wow, they took my three favourite Pixies songs and played them in a row. I feel special. ^_^
Just wanted to say that the mix on this is excellent. So many live videos are missing that.
my favourite Pixies song especially the lyrics which speak to me like no other they do. .........they do they do they do.
The relentless style of the "magician" mr. Lovering at the drums.
It's so awesome seeing Hey performed before the release of Doolittle... these people had NO reaction to it.
Caribou is definitely the mad danse macabre! Charming waltz from... I really don't know from where.
A couple waltzing to this in a Lynch film would be incredible
RE-PENT! RE-PENT!
Never fails to make me smile :)
Snot Nose The Goblin Anything that involves Charles Thompson screaming is far better live! There's a live version of River Euphrates on UA-cam that's just awesome and rips your face off :D
scaredypicker in the 90s i thought it was "Red Pants!"
RED PEN!!!
Fun Fact: "Repent" in Christianity does mean "Change Your Thinking" but I think there's more to it.
Wait What !!!, thought it was RED PANTS???? (joke)
who unliked this? come back and like it man?
One of the few bands that is better live. I friggin love these guys
I don't think i'll ever get tired of this intro. You can play it with everything and it'll make everything cooler
Pixies is one of those bands whose music made other bands...
"Your favorite band's favorite band"
They were the Biggest influence with the Melvins to Curt Cobain for sure .....
Eric Lamar that's the gods honest truth. never let anyone say perfection is unattainable, these guys have been doing it for over three decades
not just the loud quiet thing that so many 90s bands done. But my stamp of approval too x
Velvet Underground formed because of The Pixies
Those songs flipped my mind... Thank you.
I`ve never seen skinny frank black before. Thank you for the video.
LOL
@@slendergainz he goes up& down a lot.
Awesome performance. I can't get enough Joey in this one!
they didn't look a band and that's what makes them perfect
I.Love this song and always start with it when I'm busking in the streets ...it lets people know I'm gonna play divisive shit!
Best buzz is when an indie kid comes up and.is all 'is that..?'
REPENT!!!!!
... Caribou is a song that speaks to me Pixies are THE BEST 😎🫵🏼
The pixies are one of the best ever.
I was there. It was amazing.
Thanks mate! This is really something else. I just loooove this band. Finland
Thank to you. Keep watching the gigs
This was Magic!
Masterpace.
クソ格好いい。キレッキレ。飾らない美しさがある。
Best version of this song!
I was born on that day! :)
chaiiiiined!!
Hm, I hear bits of Husker Du's "Find Me" in Caribou, now that I think of it.
Frank said himself it was supposed to sound like husker du
hey is stunning
We're Chaii--iined .. CHAINED
We're Chaii-iined .. CHAINED
We're Chaii-iined .. CHAINED
OUUURRRRRR ...........
SAID THE MAN TO THE LADY
REEEE--PEEENT
best pixies song! Caribou!
Goddamn my heart is just...
Melhor banda apenas.
Absolute gold ❤
This fuckers voice is haunting, painful, and absolutely beautiful all at the same time!
...goosebumbs...🥰

I live cement
I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form

I now repent

Thanks Mart. Super stuff.
Music found its peak
mt bom. Portugal e os fans de pixies agradecem.
absolutely incredible
it's close to thirty years old now and i'm saying holy shit now. hah.
I can’t get over how much better Pixies were 88-89 than after.
eu amoooo pixies
Também amiga também ❤
great gig! thanks for posting... ;)
great footage
I was there, it was fuckin awesome!
Love the solo.
Territorial pissings by nirvana could have been lifted directly from ‘something against you here’?. Similar structure before the ‘loud quiet loud’ thing credited to nirvana but actually was a Pixies creation

Goosebumps
I wish I could upvote this this video more
Geniales, los vi 3 veces en Barcelona. Menudos pogos... buf, jaja
superbe !!!!
im actually in love with kim at this show
yeah that face she gives "There's no brakes on the rape train"
Oh!!! thanks y espero q t guste el resto d los videos :)
tell me you don't hear them in radiohead's debut album
I sure do. Radiohead's Thom Yorke has said that, while at school, "the Pixies had changed my life".
Same with nirvana
+alphermail wonder if a young thom yorke is in the crowd at this show? maybe even the whole band was in attendance they would have been what? 20 something?
Maybe not this gig but on this tour they did
fukk radio Knobhead !
rocks my world!
Seems like they were already developing a big following in 88 in the UK, these guys weren't even on my radar until October of 1988 when I saw them open up for the Jesus and Mary chain in New York City at a club called The World how is it immediately shook when I saw them for their first time
Wrong band opened.
Ah god they are a perfect remedy now as they were then.
3:30
They were just kids, so young but so good
Talent is a speculum
Not too long ago….. when music was MUSIC!
nice,very nice!
this be blowin my mind up right real!!!!!
fuckin awesome!
Hmm. I actually think this is the best live concert ever recorded along with Nirvana's MTV unplugged gig and The Doors in Hollywood.
These are the days friends? ❤😂
Kim Deal's smile... she's like the Joker.
something against you here, wowsa
Fuck lived and worked in Kentish Town for a bit - go see how much now is gorgeous place and much money!
