PIXIES - Gouge Away (Exceptional performance) 

this bass line could go on forever and i wouldnt be mad.

This version just feels so raw and aggressive and very emotionally charged like he's remembering why he wrote the song and the rest of the band is matching his intensity and the audience is feeling the electricity in the air and don't care and want to scream along, and do, and it's perfect. I can't even listen to the regular version anymore.

THE best version of Gouge Away out there. Makes my soul smile and my eyes almost tear.. Brutal. Beautiful.

It's hard not to get goosebumps while listening to this

The song is great already, I mean it IS Pixies. But kudos to whoever mixed this live recording. This is fantastic.

Damn. Listened to it a hundred times or more. So good.

This band gets better as the members age... I'm speechless. Definitely one of their best performances ever.

Does anyone else have that feeling that, as good as this video is, it's tinged with envy that I wasn't there witnessing it in the flesh? This band are fucking incredible.

Sometimes less is more. Just love the simple rawness of their music. I thought I would outgrow them, but here I am, 30 years later.

Raw, but perfectly executed with impeccable timing. They must have brought this song over 500 times and still love it.

The simplest bass line in the world, yet the most effective one! Love this song!

Those two guitar notes and then the bend...proof of how minimal but perfect music ideas can be so powerful

Not sure what’s wrong with me today, but for some reason the crowd singing along at 2:26 brought me to tears. I will forever love this band.

His voice is so frickin powerful

I've watched a few videos of this song and it's genuinely awe inspiring to see it being performed so long after its initial release with this much power and energy. Still sounds so fresh. Gives me goosebumps it's so good.

I get goosebumps everytime I hear this song whether the studio version or live....

The very last band of my bucket list to see live. For some reason, at 45 years old, I've continually missed them since being a fan since 1989 when I discovered them in the 6th grade. I'll finally be seeing The Pixies in Los Angeles this October, 2022!

I think If Pixies appeared today for the first time the would be just as cutting edge and relevant. Such simple almost "bad" music yet so expressive and unique. What a band.

La magia de la canción esta en la tensión que se genera entre el verso y el estribillo y va aumentando hasta llegar al ultimo estribillo donde explota todo, en esta versión se aprecia perfectamente eso, una genialidad

You might call them pioneers, influencers, indie, alt rock...but whatever the Pixies are, it was a genre of it's own that paved the way for so many others and cemented itself as one of the best. This is definitely one of their better live performances.

I loved this band when I was young, 30+ years ago. Can't believe how much time has passed. I used to bounce off the walls to their records. Incredible stuff.

the euporhic dream like depiction of this story is always excellent. makes me feel like I'm floating

yes very powerful. much love to Kim. wishing her well. i dont know who is filling her shoes here but she does justice to my memory of these guys and how mush i love them. love to Pixies...

Crazy to think this song was written about the biblical tale of Samson: he was betrayed by his love (Delilah) and his eyes were gouged out by his enemies. He was chained to the pillars of a temple and ridiculed. Meanwhile, his hair (the source of his strength that Delilah had cut off while he slept) grew back. Over time his renewed strength allowed him to pull the temple down on those that had injured him. This song builds and builds, the baseline steady, till the crescendo of the story comes to the end, in a freakishly powerful way. I first heard this song back in 89' and was gobsmacked, "WHO ARE THE PIXIES?!" This live version might be their best version.

My favorite band of all time since I first heard in college in the 80's. I drove 14 hours to see them. And saw Frank a million times solo. Never a single regret.

22 años, esta es mi banda favorita y estoy controlando mis ataques de pánico y ansiedad con su musica. solo gracias.

one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest albums

That bass flourish at 0:38 is sublime.

Odličan live nastup Bostonskih alternativnih indie rock velikana!

One of the greatest performances of all time.

Magistral performance......PIxies é uma banda fantástica!!!!!!!

When even the legendary Bowie marveled at your band, you know you're good.

This is the hands down THE BEST performance ever. The raw and the real. I can't even explain it. THIS! FUCK YEAH 💜

Maybe the most explosive song never written... Powerful but on the reserve... I listened to it again and again, years after years since more than 25 years and it continues to give me thrills! I would like to thank the pixies for all they give me.

3:56 they're introducing a new chord / spot on !!

Very influential band. So much talent.

Any song that starts with a lot of bass you know is gonna be good

Sheer power! This band always radiated an impressive strength, and this song really comes at you like a wall of unstoppable, hypnotic rhythm...

man...the location, the sound..and frank looks so tired but explodes with such a power with a voice that´s better than ever. they definately aged well.

So much fun to drum along to this version

Seeing this band live is truly a highlight in my life I’m forever grateful they toured Australia

this track hasn't aged a bit ! 🙌👏🖤

That bass is insane. Her tempo is soothing and chill.

Con esta canción abrieron su concierto en Bogotá el 7 de octubre de 2022. Lo que es trágico y a la vez maravilloso es que no se pueda regresar en el tiempo hasta este momento, cada día más sublime, indeleble y sensual en mi memoria. Gracias brownie, dulcita, Pixies. Fuckingawesome.

Absolutely badass. Will be badass through all time. Timeless. Fat, juicy, Bass. I will never get tired of the Pixies.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve watched this video. It’s perfection.

Sensacional, espetacular,🙏👽

Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to Missy aggravation Some sacred questions, you stroke my locks Some marijuana if you got some Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to Sleeping on your belly You break my arms, you spoon my eyes Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to Chained to the pillars A 3 day party, I break the walls And kill us all with holy fingers Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to

Makes me so happy to see young people vibrating with the Pixies... There is hope!

This is a soulful performance. Frank Black's voice gives me the chills.

Wow! I love Kim. Thought the Pixies aren't the Pixies without her. But this new bass player just blew me away!

My new favorite song..... Its been a long time since ive had one. Feel and know, Im late to the party, but im gald I found it. Thank you Kurt, for saying these guys were one of your influences. Gouge Away!

This never ever gets old . Love it👍

There will never be a better version of this song, because you can’t be better than perfect.

Best version of this song I've ever heard!!!

Je m'e lasserai jamais,, merci une voix et un son intemporel

Awesome don't get much better than this 👌

Quelle Basse ! ces changements (presque imperceptibles) de rythme (surtout dans l'intro) ! Wahou !

HONESTLY,.....perfection. No other words to describe this version. Seriously, just got chills,...for the tenth time watching this...

Will always be one of the best songs penned, rehearsed, and played.............Pixies live..... forever.

That base line is hypnotic………..love that tune

Just grips you and doesn't let go. The audience singing along is mesmerizing.

Nie można obojętnie przejść kolo tego kawałka dobra muza

seeing this live 3 years ago was one of the highlights of my life. so damn good.

Best song by the Pixies ever!

This honestly might be the best live performance ever captured on video.

Isso é sensacional

My favourite song from Pixies! These guys are amazing live 🤘

i started clapping at the end and realized i wasn't there :( wow as a long time fan of theirs, this was beautiful!

The nth time listening to this... That bass... The build up. Frank Blacks' voice. Joey Santiago's wall of sound. It's perfect.

Apresentação maravilhosa perfeita.👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Pixies changed my perception of what music was and could be. Blew me away and became my favorite band from the moment I heard them for the first time in 93'.

Gracias Pixies, esto es demasiado bueno

this bass riff is a master piece!!!!!!!!OMG

Don't care what "purists" say, Paz is immense and I've been listening to this band longer than most! Not a boast, just a fact as I'm now rather a fuddy duddy!

One of the best bands of the 90's. They ROCK!!!

What a legendary iteration of a true legend of a track. Reminds me of the energy at the Joy Division Les Bains.

The passion is still awesome no matter how old the band and audience get

Such a beautiful Performance! Hope I'll be able to see them live one day

Eu poderia ficar ouvindo esse baixo pra sempre!

OMG... just... what a song!!!!!

So much better than the studio recording. So much more energy.

Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Missy aggravation Some sacred questions, you stroke my locks Some marijuana if you got some Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *WOOoooOOOoooOOoo* Sleeping on your belly You break my arms, you spoon my eyes Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chained to the pillars A 3 day party, I break the walls And kill us all with holy fingers Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to :)

One of the best live performances I think I’ve ever seen perfect band perfect song

Absolutely tremendous performance

"Rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers". Fuck, what a lyric. Don't know why, slaps hard. Legendary song.

I can only imagine how insane this would of been to see live

Genial, super chido, es como estar de nuevo en esos años chingones de nuestra juventud.

One of the best bass line entry's ever ..... very underrated band.

Still rockin harder then most bands half their age. So good!

Awesome performance! ❤️☮️🎸👍

Paz is amazing and i love her sooo much. she fits the band so well, but............... the pixies will never be whole without kim.

I love The Pixies! I begun listen to them when I was thirteen years old! Frank Black a way of singing unique! And the guitar of Joey Santiago, what crazy sounds he can play!

50 Years old. Listening to music for atleast 40 years. How could I have missed this? But I did. Shame on me. What a bloody great song!
