I still have this on VHS from when i recorded it back in October 1990,a week later I went to see them on the Bossonova tour in Hanley ,Stoke on Trent .Brilliant times!
Saw the Pixies at Sheffield City Hall around this time period. It still rates as my best ever gig. They came on to Celia Ann and the atmosphere was electric. I remember standing at the front right by Kim Deals feet and the crowd just erupted into a mass of moshing bodies, a fantastic night!
Genius = someone who changes the way things are forever after they leave. Genius = Mr Black Francis. Genius= Mr Joey Santiago Genius =Mr David Lovering Genius= The one and only KIM DEAL!! I saw them when I was Eighteen in 1990. Started behind a red screen with Cecillia Ann before the redscreen dropped and they launched into Rock Music. Best gig ever, if only because I was Eighteen, but more so because they encapsulated perfectly how I was feeling whilst being Eighteen..
man, i didny remember that they were on this show. I live in the UK, and it's from a long defunct show called the word, which introduced many many bands to UK TV, like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, L7 (when the bass player showed her bush at the end of the song - class!!). it was a pretty out-there show that provoked and push taste barriers, but the music was almost always great. Music that i hadn't heard 'til that point. the audience never knew what band was coming on; don't be too hard on em!
This medley of sorts works so well. I wonder why they didn't do it like this on record. I edited the two songs together myself and it sounds really good.
I always thought Black Francis was the main guitarist but from watching all these youtube videos it seems Joey Santiago plays all the lead; My hat off to him he fuckin rules!
just because the smiths had emotional music doesn't mean they started "emo" c'mon, there was echo and the bunnymen, the cure, joy division.. bands before them that had emotional lyrics and feelings.. oh and the buzzcocks too.

The best version of the two songs, simply amazing
Every cable music show in the 90s had that fake-o dancing :). Fantastic song - it's nice to know that they can replicate it live.

Oh Francis and his early career metal guitars

Amazing how tight they sound here, this is the Pixies in top form.
🗣Friday nights (circa:1990) on CH4 @ 11pm the Word!’
I've had this on repeat for about 5 hours now.
Damn! This performance is amazing and for me this cover from Cecilia Ann is the best!!!

I remember this - I've still got it on video somewhere. Friday night "The Word", Sept/Oct 1990. Excellent stuff!! Sx
I love it!
I remember when this was broadcast, that makes me feel reeeaaally old!
The camera guy was definitely a guitarist zooming in on the right hand
Jesus I love Cecilia Ann, so catchy!!
That was the coolest!

Yep. Johnathon Ross was also good for music at that time. The Nirvana performance was legendary.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks man been needed too know that for awhile, i think i have a bass really close to the same.
Gorgeous
If A Clockwork Orange and Family Double Dare had a child, it would be this set.
Это ❤разок и навсегда, как говорится!!)))
I came here for Cecilia Ann and learned Allison too, they are playing both of them amazingly
Word!
Wish they would just play for ever and ever.
que bonito look, muy a la epoca c:
At first I thought the video might be flipped because they're lined up in the opposite way of every other live show I've seen.
great
This is the best version of Allison EVAR. And Allison is my fave pixies song (i know, weird).
My favourite too
This medley of sorts works so well. I wonder why they didn't do it like this on record. I edited the two songs together myself and it sounds really good.
Love the instrumental, very Link Wrayish!!! :))
It should be, it's a cover of an old surf rock tune.
This is a good set played on a terrible set.
+payne tyler Fortunately, the good set offsets the terrible set, so they're all set.
Part #1 is the prettiest surf-esque song by the Pixies band
Señorita Allí 😌😻
Excelente !! La imagen una pena.
Kim switch side with joey took a lot of time to realize what was happenning
Nice dancers !
i remember seeing this live in the early 90s, not sure of the year
its from a programme called The Word a 90`s show on ch4 uk
The WOOOOOOOORD! :) haha!
💣
Пацаны вообще ребята! =)
2nded!
I always thought Black Francis was the main guitarist but from watching all these youtube videos it seems Joey Santiago plays all the lead; My hat off to him he fuckin rules!

I'm here in 2020.
you 2020 hablo español perdon no se como escribir ingles hahahaha cuarentena
the blue shirts
The Pixies on the Word! Why did no one tell me at the time?!
frank black is the only person to make one of those shitty pointy ibanez guitars look cool
@1990
The dancing... I can't look
It's only begging for the surf drum beat.
Man there's like fucking 20 people in the crowd/audience. Now that's an intimate gig!
what type of bass does she use?
this looks like the uk tv show The Word
Sounds like Summer
Evin Paauwe cover if a surfer band
It looks like a MUSIC MAN.
@truc34 LE meilleur :)
man.. the people from the 90s were hip..
Bossanova
guys, joe jumped
marry me Kim!!
Okay
Black Francis 45 pounds ago!
Ok cool🙄
śmieszne:D
knights of cydonia and this song do have similarities but the muse song in better at least imo
just because the smiths had emotional music doesn't mean they started "emo" c'mon, there was echo and the bunnymen, the cure, joy division.. bands before them that had emotional lyrics and feelings.. oh and the buzzcocks too.
only Kim deal won't get bald here
No shit Sherlock ?, "The Word" in big fucking letters kind of gives it away, don't You think ?.
here's an idea.. stop comparing bands to each other......
Presumably "The Smiths" means nothing to You ?.
No Terry Christian no deal
I really love Allison.. but here they sang it in a horrible way
omg... stupid disco dancing... the only good thing in 80s is The Pixies
DUde, this song fucking blows compared to Knights of Cydonia.
They're not even on the same scale.
