Pixies Gigantic Pixies Live Fa. Onrust 1988

I love me some Kim Deal. She’s staggeringly talented.

Such a great fucking band.

What a mid-album block! Gigantic, River Euphrates, Where Is My Mind?

Just astonishing live around this time. Saw them open a set in Glasgow in 1990 with Rock Music, River Euphrates and Debaser. Best 5 mins of live music I’ve seen. Before the stage collapsed and they started hauling kids out of the pit on flight cases.

Remember vividly seeing this broadcasted on Dutch television that time. Made me a new fan!

I really wish they coulda dealt w/the personal issues that ended up w/Kim out of the band. They are all so talented, but IMO there definitely was something missing after she left. Special sauce, spark. IDK. But as she was distanced & finally left, the intensity diminished.

What kind of guitar is Frank playing?

Hmmm 🧐 An electric…
