Does anybody know if there are live versions of this song somewhere?
I love this song but I haven't seen it in the 3 or 4 bootlegs I own so I suppose that it was not a very popular song.
Thanx!

For the upcoming gigs, which begin July 14 in Trencin, Slovakia, the Pixies "sought out places we haven't been before," according to Santiago. [...] The guitarist says it is too early to speculate if any vintage tunes will be added to the set list, but acknowledges one particular song has frequently been the subject of a request.
"There's always a sign out in the crowd for 'Dig for Fire,'" he says of the track, which has not been played on the reunion tour. "That would be a good challenge. We used to do that live but I don't know how we did it. There's a lot of overdubs on that one."

Thanks to the typo in the songtitles I found one webpage mentioning this recording:
http://br.geocities.com/thiagomangia/pixies_boot.htm
10/05/90 St. George's Hall, Bradford, UK
Running Time: 79 min.
Quality: 7.5, Aud
Generation: unknown
Setlist: Cecilia Ann / Leviate Me / Debaser / Rock Music / Dead / Hangwire / Gouge Away / Something Against You / All over the World / Allison / Happening / Crakity Jones / Here Comes Your Man / Broken Face / Hey / Dig for Fire / Is She Weird / Ed is Dead / Caribou / Tonys Theme / Wave of Mutilation / Where is My mind / Velouria / Stormy Weather / Into the White / Vamos / Havalina / Gigantic / Tame / Islana De Encanta
The specs I printed on my cd says the running time is 84:34 minutes
I probably traded this with an American, I remember swapping about 10 discs at once a few years ago. Among others, he sent me almost all of the Pixies gigs in The Netherlands.
Send me and email if you're interested in my copy, Benji, I don't care much anymore about these old audience recordings

Any chance anyone can upload Bam Thwok live on YouSendIt? I had never heard Dig For Fire live before this, and Bam Thwok's another one I'd love to hear live. Cheers.
