It's a Breeders song.

But, the Pixies didn't play a Breeders song did they? I think I would have heard about that.

weird... maybe they did play iris at a gig - they did play a "frank black" song (all around the world) at the newport acoustic gig.

No, no, no...I think I may have stated that wrong. PIXIES never played Iris. What I meant was having seen the BREEDERS a handful of times, Iris is my favorite song to watch them perform. The BREEDERS to perform, that is. Does that make sense? Am I just saying things all wrong? Or have I misunderstood others? Oh, I'm so full of self-doubt.

i understood what you meant, transmarine - however the link above lists the song iris as part of the tracklist for the loudquietloud dvd.

You've misunderstood (for shame).

Having Iris listed on the tracklist of DVD suggests that the Pixies played the song. I'll believe it when I see it, but that's why I asked whether they had played it (not because of your posting, but the Breeders are great).

So far as I know they've not played any Breeders songs nor Goo Goo Dolls songs, though the former makes far more sense and I have no other explanation for Iris appearing on the tracklist. Perhaps this slipped under the radar? It would be a pretty big deal I'd think...

I think I read recently that's it a clip of the Breeders performing the song, as part of the documentary, perhaps illustrating the solo careers that Frank and Kim have enjoyed.

Hmm, that makes little sense to me if they're only going to show Kim's solo career... I see no FB solo songs listed, and he by far has been more prolific.

Here's a little interview clip and the video for Iris, taken from old music programme SNUB TV, I think:

Far be it from me to disagree, but I'm not seeing the whole Iris + Goo Goo Dolls = Classic. Could it be considered Their high water mark and therefore the best of their best, sure I'll give 'em that. But I can't see it as a classic.

Btw, that "Iris" is not a cover but an original song, written by Kim.

Unless you have a copy of the Pixies doing the Breeders' Iris, that is precisely what is in dispute.

And I wouldn't call anything the Goo Goo Dolls have ever done 'classic'.
