I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet or not...
...but after the second time I saw it, there's a shot of Lovering at the end of the song where he stands up, claps his hands together twice and spreads his arms in the way a magician would after an amazing slight of hand trick. Classic.
It was my favorite part of the performance.

It is really cold in that studio. I'm surprised any musicians can play in that temperature. It's not freezing cold, but cold enough to make your fingers not work properly.

But you have to understand and appreciate the forum they are in. It was a very good and true version of the song. It's gotta be tough to walk into a 50 degree studio (Isn't really cool in there because Dave doesn't like to sweat?) and just rock out. So I understand why it may have been a less than passionate performance. Kinda of cool to hear the string arrangement with it.

I think it's a good performance
though the keys aren't necesary
and the chorusvocal is weird
(maybe only because we aren't used to two high voices)
it's still great!

This kind of shit makes me miss cable.
I miss letterman.
I missed this performance (hanging out in general to much)
Last time I saw Pixies on TV was Dennis Miller.
Has anyone been kind enough to offer it in anything other than the torrent? |

He didn't do it last year! I was so upset. Paul usually sings it the night Darlene Love comes on, which is sometime next week. Personally, I'm more excited about the annual "knocking the giant meatball off the Christmas tree with a football" ceremony.

Yeah, I noticed "Pixies" without the the and knew right away someone at Letterman's show was paying attention. Such attention to detail is always nice to see. |

Me too, daynara. I don't watch as regularly as I use to, but I'm still a fan.
Has Paul sang his Cher doing "Silent Night" yet this holiday season? |

Posted - 12/15/2004 : 10:21:23
You guys are nuts, Paul is awesome. And in case you haven't figured it out, I'm a huge Letterman fan, have been since I was 13. The guy who does research for the show and types up Dave's blue cards has a little blog thing on the CBS website. From yesterday's posting:
quote:
I spent most of today trying to find out if it is "Pixies" or "The Pixies." I was told more than once that they are just "Pixies" without a "The." I desperately wanted to put in a "The" for Dave to use when billboarding them and introducing them. I even checked out past interviews of the band members to see if they referred to themselves as "THE Pixies." I found one or two instances and printed them out. Or at least I thought I did. When I later went to pick them up, no copy could be found. I then went back to my google search and had forgotten where I saw it. I checked with those in the know one more time and was told specifically, "No 'The'." OK, fine. I seem to remember the same problem with the Dixie Chicks. Anyway, a half-hour before the show I get a call telling me that "The" is fine. So all the places I took out the "THE" I now put back in. But in the opening announce, the print you saw on the screen, I kept it simply "Pixies." For the introduction, it was changed from "Please welcome, Pixies" to "Please welcome, the Pixies."

I vaguely remember Paul "Thunder Bay" Schaffer playing some kind of guitar solo on the keyboards when the Breeders were on Dave. I think it was "Divine Hammer." A fuzzy memory.
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Frank |

just a little canadian humor for you. are you guys sensitive about Paul Shafer being Canadian and sucking?
i actually think Paul is pretty cool.

Well, that wasn't too bad 'eh?? Played it safe, played the hit. Shaffer is such a wank, his usual overplaying, overmixed self.... I think the glasses should stay, they add to an already dynamic presence....

Ah crap, it didn't work? It's just a fuzzy screen cap of a bunch of bald guys, you're not missing much. Maybe the link will show you kindness.

Maybe we've been waiting for this for too long and nothing was going to live up to our expectations, but...
There was no 'edge' to the performance. It lacked the urgency and frenetic energy that is the Pixies. Its not the band, their live shows prove nightly that they still have 'it'. But, the song, arrangement and staid performance didn't capture the essence of the band.
There are a lot of people who saw the pixies for the first time last night. I fear they got a bad impression. |

...also, I don't have TV so I had to watch it at a friends house.
I hadn't seen David Letterman in more than 5 years.
He's still a schmuck. The point is, The Pixies are worth seeing/hearing anytime
anywhere, anyhow.
and Kate Blanchet is a divine talent. |
