True story, I had a massive car crash in the 90's, broken femur, cracked skull, coma and collapsed lungs. This was the first song I heard after coming to again in the Hospital on the local student radio station. I rang my mum to buy the CD on the way to the hospital. Love my mum
Top story, Mr. Lockwood.
Right enough, we should all cherish our mothers. Even if you don't see eye to eye, show your mother the respect that she really deserves. I sometimes think, I would give almost anything to spend some more time with my deceased mum. She was taken far too soon. Mr. Lockwood's is a timely reminder to show mothers that we love them 24/7, all the year round - not just Mother's Day.
I have been waiting my whole life to see the pixies, travelled around the world, always missing there gig The played in NZ in march 2020. Epic gig, could be our last international gig for a long time. Stay safe world.
i should be in school
So the car was totalled but the radio was still playing?
That is SO SWEET
I saw the Pixies on this tour. The intensity of the show and the band was so overwhelming. People were going completely nuts. They really connected with us 19-20 year-olds. I think Frank and the band were kind of overwhelmed w/ the popularity that was swirling around them. It was the same with Jane's Addiction and both bands broke up soon after. Then Nirvana released Never Mind and the whole scene kind of blew up.
i understand now what you said, i have never cried on a concert and i did with Pixies, i counldnt stop, and it was pure happiness. :D
One pixies song leads to me needing to hear EVERY pixies song.
You may be dissapointed...but check out frank black solo
Agreed
I hear ya ! Once I play one Pixies song, I usually end up binge listening for multiple days.
It's a perfectly acceptable re-binge
Same for me 🥰
I've always loved how Allison was too short for it's own video so they just tacked it on to the end of Dig for Fire. Amazing.
Never stop digging for fire.
este comentario casi me hace llorar qué carajo
I love the way they can’t stop themselves from layering simple guitar parts on top of each other on dig. Genius
They were genius. Something really went off the rails w/ this band interpersonally after this record however.
I was ten years old when I heard this song being played by my father. Been hooked on the Pixies ever since. Nothing like the 80’s, early nineties music.
Yep! REM, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr
The greatest band in the world.I was a university dj and played this song so much .
When Charles and Kim sing harmony.... It's blissful
No world without the Pixies
No outer space too.
went to high school in the early 90's, so I had to go to bed early on Sunday nights. Used to set the vhs recorder to MTV's 120 Minutes and see what I caught. Caught this gem of a song, it was the first time I heard it and it blew me away. I still have the vhs tape
LOVED 120 minutes in the eighties
Can you up load it on UA-cam??
Never get sick of this one
One of the songs of my childhood, weekends with my dad we would play the pixies and rem and jump on a trampoline together. Silly but it’s one of my best memories 💕 this was my favorite song when I was like 9
I led a maypole dance to this because it brings out my own inner child. Simply Divine!
Even kurt cobain (rip), said the puxies were better, more of a grunge band than nirvana! Love both, so no bias.....Pixies!🤘
Bossanova foi o meu primeiro disco do Pixies em formato Cd. Banda fenomenal!!
In the current situation the Pixies showing social distancing during the filming of Alison 😂
In a town where Im going to live.

It's called predictive programming
🤣🤣
That's the Olympic stadium, Amsterdam Netherlands. (Olympics in 1928).
Late '80s, Dutch VPRO radio 'Nozems a Gogo; "...van de Pixies..." Kid brother and I were blown away, lifelong fans.
I allways loved you, still love you and allways will love you my pixies. good music never dies. cheers!
Best song I ever heard
This song and whole album is sooo Good! Timeless!
I saw this on JBTV in Chicago in the early 90s, had it on VHS for years. When Mose Allison played at Bluesfest in Grant Park in the early 2000s I went because of this song. I hate to think I would have missed out otherwise. Long live Pixies and RIP Mose. ❤
I god damn love Bossanova.
LOVE this song - memories of better times ... QUALITY ....
God so true... it wasn't about image... it was just about rocking out. Not sure we'll ever get back there. Not sure I even want to... it would feel fake.
Every time I listen to the Pixies after a gap, I fall in love with them all over again. It's the kind of limerence we wish we could feel to revivify romantic relationships.
I wish they still sounded this good. Frank and Kim had an amazing musical connection. Shame they weren't better friends really!
Scruffy P shame, I had the opportunity to went to a concert when Kim was with them, she was awesome 😎
@@jazminr.1435 She's still with them and they still sound amazing...
@@alaskaguyd963 She left in 2013.
I've seen them about 10 times with Kim and once with Paz. Sure, they're not as good without Kim, but they are still very much worth seeing live.
ego vs heart
Underrated.
So so much so.
lithium771 as fuck
Totally
Ah the classic "underrated" comment. Didn't have to look far for this cliche'
@@ryline666 um, thanks for the timely positive comment. You either agree or you don't.
Tsss que joyita de video...una gran banda y en México fueron unos chingones en los 90s para mi, mil gracias por compartir, chingoneria SALU2.
Makes me miss happier days of my youth 🖤
Awesome
From Boston with LOVE
the best
when Kim says 'dig!' at the end and then 'for fire!' in acapella its just sooo 😩👌
Don’t talk about my girl like that
They are touring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@thinkaboutit9891 lies you lie
@@cesargalindo1258 lol wdym
The drumming in these two songs is really cool and different
valcarni1 he is definitely jamming his ass off🙌 It’s the first thing I gravitated to on this song was the drumming on this track
David lovering is my fave-o-rite drummer
no word for that!!
Reviewed this album for the Tulane University radio station's newspaper. I loved the album, especially Allison, even if it was spelled wrong and should be Alison (says Alison). ;) 34 years later, still love it. and just now learned the video was filmed in Amsterdam. I lived in Utrecht for 9 years! Leuk!
I 'Dig' kim's backing vocals in this. As for the video, best part is at 2:16 when the motocycles ride off and fade out in sunset during Joey's minor guitar solo.
Gives me goose bumps every time
The pun was intended.
There is this old woman, she lives down the road - Dig for Fire by Pixies-
You can often find her kneeling inside of her hole
And I often ask her "Are you looking for the mother lode?"
No, no my child, this is not my desire and then she said
"I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire"
There is this old man who has spent so much of his life sleeping
That he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
He resides, on a beach, in a town where I am going to live
And I often ask him "Are you looking for the mother lode?"
No, no my child, this is not my desire and then he said
"I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire"
I'm digging for fire fire fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire, for fire, for fire
I'm digging for, for fire
Genius
Remember listening to John Peel PIXIES sessions circa '88 class then MTV 120 minutes session ....Saw them headline Reading festival 1990 legendary gig 😎👍 .....
pixies are bad ass i love this song
all pixie official vids were so abstract and derivative for the time. they set the bar so high for vids. amazing even beyond the music. 4AD must have been the sympathetic label for their far-reaching vision.
Can't believe this is 30 years old! Still sounds fresh, can I please go back to 1990?!!!
Adore XXXXXXXX
Lindaaaa! Amo muito! Grande show!
４AD was a fabulous label.
I forgot they were on 4AD. There were so many good labels in the 90's.
Is
This intro is sooo good and classy
this one of my all time favorite tracks, please play it at my funeral
Sonzeiraaaaa, Pixies é demais!
Cavando por fogo 🔥
The Allison header. Truth is stranger than fiction
life!!!
diguing for life
When I first heard this on CD it felt more raw, and more beautiful.
its the same recording as the cd , obviously it's you that has changed and in that how you here the song changes ( and a different sound system will make the song seem "not the same as before")
True but a later remastering might sound bad because of dynamic compression. Granted this came out 25 years ago this may have been remastered to keep up with the loudness war.
youtube is only 192 kb per sec max , CD is 1500. Quality
When I first saw this music video, I was blown away (no Track 11 pun intended). It was and still is one of the most simple and inventive ideas. It was another way of producing that obligatory marketing element that the record company needs, while avoiding the lip-syncing they clearly preferred not to do in their vids, if it was an option. It must be one of the only music videos that contains a live 'B-side'. I do love them so.
They thought their music was more important than the vids. Bizar
nice
thanks for not making me look for my old pixies dvd
My heart will always burn for Kim.
This music stays so relavent to every thing!
I knew about the pixies in 1993 in Mexico And 2004 saw them live
La la love this
best band in the world!!
I don't know why, but Dig For Fire always puts me in a good mood.
I wanna be in a band, and make some freakin' great music such as this. My dreams and desires may never be. Not like this. x
it is Almost 2018 and I still listen them for 20 years ~~
2 things... I didn't relize there was an official video for this song (even though they were my favorite band at the time). Also, they absolutely hate to lip sync, don't they!
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Fucking classic!!!!
watch yo mouf
Claudia Cutino Du hast doch keine Ahnung!
That looks like it was a motorcycle ride to the sound check for a Pixies show, later that day. You can see Frank looking up at the line array in the first line of Allison. Thanks Pixies and big thank you goes to Ivo, for all the great 4AD music over the last thirty years. My favorite label.
great band,lookslike they had fun,peace!
i've been away from facebook for a while. hope this makes up for it,
one of my favorates
Por que bloquean los temas para algunos paises? :c
Call me old or whatever....but these songs do not sound 30 years old. Pixies were so ahead of their time
Kim Deal magnifica
My sister's name is Kim Steele.
Frank black also-and joe santiago
En un episodio de "Cómo conocía a vuestra madre", el prota dice que la mujer con la que se casará tiene que tocar el bajo tan bien como Kin Deal. Por lo menos en el doblaje castellano.
Yeah. Right on. Kim Deal should have been allowed to have more of her songs performed & recorded with Pixies. Ego, eh?
@@ralfralf3117 Nobody got wood watching Joey or Charles getting dressed, though. Ha!
I still listen to the Pixies today with the same enthusiasm that i did in the late 80's , im very sure theres a lot of people who feel the same way !
The signs of one of the greatest band of all time and very underrated for some reason , maybe Francis lyrics werent radio friendly enough , who knows
No, they didn't want to make video's and thought the music was more important. How silly
I was born after they made all of their classic albums and didn't really find the band until a few years ago (except for WIMM which I knew from Fight Club), but I jam these songs almost daily.
Que buen vídeo buena música!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Our Eternal LOVE!!!
It's hard to believe that 31 years ago I first listened to Bossanova. I know where I was Who I was with. Amazing times with great new music
I thought this would be more popular, it’s pixies song after all.
Love the Pixies. Have loved them from the first moment I heard them, sat on a floor in a fellow student's flat in Maynooth. I wonder if she remembers that moment as vividly as I do. Tape player and the Pixies. That day I found my fire, the Pixies. Now I'm so alone. Thinking it might be time to call it a day and sleep for an eternity, never to wake to this living he'll.
Dude, you ok?
A few years late but hope you're alright, fellow dub here. Get to the Olympia next March to hear this album live and give yourself a new lease on life.
Allison song makes me jump on my bed.
So,i'm almost surę You have a brand new one.keep on jumping .for joy
happy birthday KIM!
The 90's was kinda cool after all.
after all? 90's was the best bands
Alas Exile - Alas, it was.
Glad its over, todays music is soooo much better!!
@SomeStuff depends.. Like slipk... not or like Manchester Orchestra or the Jonas BJ's? Elaborate, M&M and Kid Rock Tour... Jk Eminem is the S#¡+ (98% of the time)
@@adammorris9593 An opinion like that is why your life is so shallow
Hey!
Thats soooo ace
This song is just........F*cking Fun...
Oh, the memories
so fascinating to go between like hole and then echo and the bunnymen then here it makes so much sense
Olympic Pixies: in the stadium where Dutch football came alive - 1966: the famous fog match Ajax-Liverpool. Five to one, but nobody saw a thing. The stadium, of 1928, is a monument by the way, of Dutch "New Building".
Now how about that for the inventors of grunge.
I'm digging for fireee.
There aren't a lot of songs about Mose Allison, but here's one.
pa mi bruja,,,,,,,,,,
-Always wished the camera would swing another 90 degrees when it got to the drummer so I could see where that multicore went... was there someone on a mixing console on the field too? Was it multitracked and mixed later or is that a live mix? After all the accurate production detail on the players I was even more interested in the live recording since it's not the album version
Eu já tive o meu momento doce, durou quatorze anos, no fim dos meus sete anos de fogo encontrei uma vaca em chamas que me salvou de continuar a arder, só ardi mais sete anos, tudo isso aconteceu na minha juventude, agora alcancei o eterno zumbir das balas, acho que a próxima cavadela fico demente...
why upload a 4:3 video in 16:9 and cut a lot of footage?
Surfer Rosa - Come on Pilgrim A Must own !
I love how the Dig For Fire part had absolutely no connection to the song. Simple, but genius.
Best band..... Led Zeppelin and Pixies
!!!!!!!!
