The chances of getting some good quality Pixies video from this seem quite high - the BBC are showing 4 hours of live coverage from the Sunday on BBC 3 between 1900-2300 - just the right time to catch the Pixies set. In addition, there is an hour long highlights program on after midnight on the Sunday.
BBC 2 Scotland will also have 6 30-minute highlights shows on for 6 weeks after the event.

The BBC channels are broadcast Free to Air via digital satellite, so anyone with a capable receiver or satellite card in their PC who can see the satellite can record the digital bitstream as it's broadcast. |

The Strokes are big fans of the Pixies, and the only listenable band these days

You can even see on the TV coverage that the crowd was far bigger for the Pixies set.

I love the Strokes!
Why so many pixies fans hate the Strokes?
They make great music!

I'm a nurse and worked for a plastic surgeon for a number of years, and to me it looks like he's had eyelid surgery. If you compare close ups of his face now to those taken a few years ago, you can see that his lids (upper, especially) are much more defined. That might be why he looks like he's wearing makeup. And as for the weight, he's said many, many times that it's hard to eat well on the road. Just my two cents!

I have just watched a tape of last night's BBC2 coverage of T in the Park. The show kicked off in grand style with the Pixies playing Bone Machine, Broken Face and Something Against You. I think most other acts, including PJ Harvey, only play one song. I still haven't finished the tape though!
Shit! Shite! Shite! I forgot! Fuckeroo!

Hi Wilhelm,
They played Bone Machine, Broken Face and Something Against You, there was no Debaser this time, lamentably.

I'm desperate to see the Manchester footage........

It looked from the trailer last night that the T in the Park TV coverage next Friday will have a Pixies song (showed Frank briefly) -- they only seemed to show one song from each band last night. Also looks like PJ Harvey will be on, for anyone else interested (she was good too)...

I hate to say this, but it looks like he's put all the weight he lost (and more), back on again. It's a shame as he lost so much and was looking really well. I hope that he looks after himself so that he'll be around for many more years to come.
I don't mind the eyeliner, but I did notice the size difference. I'm not sure if it's that when I saw him solo and with the Catholics last year he looked very much thinner because he was wearing black or not, but he did look in cracking shape last year, compared to this year and the ToTY times, at least.

Hi everyone,
Just checked the footage (thanks for the link), and, with a bit of frame by frame investigation, yes, I was on TV! (I was stood right next to the girl with the "Debase Me" banner...)
It was my 30th birthday on 11th July, and what a way to spend it! Even if I did spend 10 hours on the train to get there, when I found out the Pixies were playing on my birthday I made it my lifes goal to get there. It really was incredible! Really hoping some more of the BBC footage becomes available....

I've just noticed that the Zane Lowe show website on Radio 1 has the following info on the website "ALL WEEK :: T in the Park live tracks"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/zanelowe/
I've just tuned in to tonights show (with 5 minutes left) and he's just said "tonights last live T in the park track is from Goldie Lookin Chain". I'm hoping someone got a good quality recording if any Pixies were played tonight... |

I was right near the front, just a little bit across from the blue flag pictured there! I kinda wished I'd gone further back, as I spent most of the gig fighting for my life... still, they rocked and the crowd loved it (everyone was singing Joey's guitar parts really loud, eg. Here Comes Your Man: "Dun da-da-da-da-da-da dun! DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH!").
I could see Kim at the side of the stage during PJ Harvey's show (very good BTW) and the (ahem) Kings of Leon (stood listening to their excrutiatingly dull output just to get a good position for the Pixies)...
I got loads of pictures on a disposable camera, but not sure when I'll get to develop it. Got a feeling it would have been all steamed up, but I did snap both the Dave-to-Joe drumstick throw and the return, so here's hoping...
... and Joey has become quite the showman in his little Vamos slot!

Yep, right at the front, it was very uncomfortable there but it was more than worth it to see the Pixies, this is the only chance I'll get to see them this year unless they do a UK tour. |

Hey buymeasoda - I'm presuming you were right up the front - nice pics. I chickened out for two reasons - I'm getting too old for that sort of thing and my wife is 7 months pregnant - may have caused a few problems!
We were right back in front of the sound desk where the sound got a bit lost in the breeze at times. A 400mm lens can be a wonderful thing! |

Mine played through Windows Mediaplayer straightaway. You have to open the folder which you've downloaded and click on the file with the Mediaplayer icon. I burned the DVD with Roxio DVD creator and it plays well on my DVD too.

What do you need to do to make this work? I downloaded the Bittorrent, and downloaded the show from the link, but the media player won't play it. What am I missing? |

Posted - 07/12/2004 : 11:54:22
Thanks Chrissybaby, I've downloaded from the link you've posted. Perfect quality as you expected. The songs are Bone Machine, Broken Face and Debaser. It brings back great memories from when I saw the Pixies a month ago.

just to say, pixies were amazing. i think in terms of what they played and how they played it, i enjoyed it more than the saturday brixton show... shame the sound wasn't as good and i had some uninterested strokes fans around me...
And it's hard to be a human being, and it's harder as anything else, and I'm lonesome when you're around, and I'm never lonesome when I'm by myself, and I miss you when you're around. |

what's that with kim and that white things she is wearing
she wore that at the werchter gig a week ago
and at the amsterdam gig
and now yesterday too
The t-shirts under it are always different
does she wear for some protection against a cold or something
with that thing around her neck?

Hi guys,
theres a bittorrent of all three(!) songs being seeded here:
http://bt.easytree.org/torrents-details.php?id=1936
they are in dvd pal mpeg format... The person that has seeded them has produced other excellent tv rips so expect the quality to be top notch.... |

I think the band were quite taken aback the reception they got from the crowd! They were definately the sole reason for many people being at the festival.
I'm sure they would have played on if the could have.
Frank was in great form and the band genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves. Long may it continue.

When I got back from the gig I checked my sat box, and it had recorded the programming on BBC3 and BBC1. I'll be trying to make up a DVD of the exact bitstream as broadcast when I get the chance.
The nme have a report and setlist here: http://www.nme.com/news/109131.htm
Surprisingly for the nme, the setlist looks just about correct.
It was an amazing gig- I was surprised so many of the festival crowd were singing along. The crowd had a good time, and it looked like the pixies had a good time too. And instead of the usual "in heaven -into- wave of mutilation (uk surf)" we got treated to "in heaven -into- where is my mind"
For info, here's the setlist as reported by the nme-
Planet Of Sound
Bone Machine
Broken Face
Something Against You
Isla De Encanta
Monkey Gone To Heaven
U-Mass
Velouria
No. 13 Baby
I Bleed
Dead
Wave Of Mutilation
Debaser
Gouge Away
Tame
Hey
Gigantic
Caribou
In Heaven
Where Is My Mind?
Nimrod’s Son
Here Comes Your Man
Vamos
