Not among the best Franks work but it has a great live version of “I burn today” which is a beautiful, beautiful song.

@prpx nice! Was just listening to Teenager of the Year the other day, would be way up in the list of my all time faves if I could ever commit to such a thing.

big fan of him @prpx saw him twice with the Pixies (1991 at the Bizzarre Festival in Giessen and 2017 in Carcassonne), never without Joey Santiago, David Lovering and Kim Deal / Paz Lenchantin. Is this record online anywhere to listen?

Not exactly the same playlist, but you can get an impression here.

excellent, thanks @Aetas ️

@popvulture - definitely agree. mine as well. the breakup of fantastic band resulted in two fantastic stories - frank black solo and the breeders. what more could you want. and i do think pixies broke up in time.

[prpx]

@Aetas - it is almost the same playlist, but on this live, Frank is with the band

[prpx]

@endo - yeah, pixies were (kind of are still) one of the greatest. i saw them couple of times, both with kim and paz in the lineup. I especially remember the first reunion tour. they all looked stoked to play those great songs with same love, and so awkward that they have to do it together on stage
Unfortunately couldnt find his live recordings with the band from that 2006 tour. it's like a bit tired version of his gigs with the catholics from mid 90's. Country rock vibe.

[Aetas]

Than it is another level @prpx.
Passed your record at RSD2023, because I thougt it is only him.

[prpx]

@Aetas - i dont think you missed much to be honest. most of those songs from catholics era sounded waaay better on live concerts from the mid 90s. the newer ones sound ok. i truly appreciate FB, and i think he is one of the most interesting songwriters in last 35 years. but i also witnessed his music being dull when he and the bend are performing without much spark, this record is on that side of the table.

[endo]

In Carcassonne it was obvious he couldn't hold up his powerful voice for more than 5 songs anymore. Still, a great performer, probably more then than now.

hollering and screaming dont age well

@GraemeE this was an interesting album. I’ve not heard of this artist before - thanks for sharing

[popvulture]

@prpx I had a similar experience seeing them. First show was like their second or third after the big Coachella reunion iirc, and they were psyched. Amazing show. Second time was about a year later, still Kim in tow, but everybody looked miserable and played like they were just at work. That documentary about them is a pretty plain example of how much they dislike each other — so damn unfortunate because they really were the fucking best. Great shit don’t always last, though!

What i remember most from that documentary is an insight into Dave Loverings hobbies
