The set is crazy looking. Perfect place for them to play, nice backdrop

[@madeinamericalove4722]

@@coryc0213 that’s because the way Kurt sung was hard to sustain for long periods of time which is why he didn’t like touring. The best period for live performances far as energy and powerful vocals was from 1987 thru to the beginning of 1992. After that kurts voice had took a really bad strain and he developed laringitis and was able to recoup but only for a short time at the beginning of the In utero tour but eventually lost his strength there as well. I even believe he had to tune the instruments down a step to be able to hit the notes he was usually able to hit easily before.

[@JazzMachine77]

I was a punk kid growing up I use to like bands like minor threat, gorilla biscuits, 7 seconds, black flag, teen idols and stuff like that. One day a friend came over to my house and had this gig recorded on a VHS tape (I didn't had MTV at the time), and I haven't even heard of Nirvana before. I still remember the feeling when I saw this gig, I couldn't believe how good and different Nirvana was. I liked everything about them, the sound, the lyrics, their style, they way they played on the stage. It really changed my life.

Still pretty cool. Even cooler is the fact that I was on set at the North Hollywood club where Dave directed Soundgarden's first video from their reunion album. If thats not surreal enough Deadmau5 was bouncing around waiting for his cameo in the vid. Itt was like a freakin dream. During a break I mentioned that Austin show to Dave annd he rememberrd the show. Most big artists iin town stay at the 4 seasons about a mile away - also on the river like the venue. He recalled how they were picked up and ferried to and later from in a small boat a secret smuggling ramp and how trippy that was... I often wondered how they got the acts in and out of there without getting mobbed by fans waiting for autographs or lock of hair to yank out. Best of.times, as the shroom man said...

I like the fact that kurt stepped on his own distortion and effects pedals. Most majorly successful bands if you notice have their guitar techs back stage tuning their 50 guitar's and pressing the pedals for them. How you know this watch most major metal, rock or alternative bands preform. They never step on a pedal to switch from clean guitar to distortion. And they never tune their guitar's between songs they switch to a guitar that's tuned for the next song. Kurt changes keys himself and sings plays controls the pedals tunes the same guitar. Non of the rock star bull crap

One thing to keep in mind is that this was 30 years ago. Most bands back then and before would control their own pedals on stage....it's only become more acceptable for techs to do that offstage in the past couple of decades.

@@UKSportsFan yeahh that's totally true. What he's saying has only become a thing like 5 years ago maybe

[@rgoob4045]

@@UKSportsFan even though it was that long ago, it was also antiquated equipment which Cobain specifically wanted and required, he had a lead tech that would repair and keep triplicates in every part on hand to keep them that way, because of the sound they produced. He refused to use the current day distortion pedals and effects because they weren't the same, and this was a pain in the ass to keep up but it is one of the numerous details that Cobain was a perfectionist in his art/music.

i think metallica had other people doin it back then

[@fortyyearfitness]

at this point, nirvana weren't rocks stars yet.... they were doing well, but at this point were not the gigantic band we think of now

[@williamingles640]

11:48 gorgeous drums and guitar the most beautiful thing my ears have ever heard nirvana was unique

[@JenniferWong-ql2bq]

There will never be a band like Nirvana.❤

[@mizzladythemovement]

so wish I seen one of their concerts!!!

[@Robin-ld4ck]

adriana pina Me too :l

[@michaeljenkins8593]

Cant beat nirvana live still my fav band Kurt's music helped me through tough times

[@OhMeOhMy77]

Kurt's voice was on fucking point during this performance! Nirvana were so good. So thankful I went to see them live ( I had the flu and almost sold my ticket and didn't go)......Kurt died 6 months or so after seeing them live!

[@OhMeOhMy77]

......also, Grohl is a fucking animal on drums......lol, best 3 piece imo!

[@onurbo77]

I think he really tried hard for MTV. He was aware this was an important performance for the band. It is very impressive.

[@crazylittlepartygirl7393]

Im 38 and nirvana is my greatest of all time band nothing compares i just love everything. And kurt is my angel 😘

[@knowledgetruth4504]

Great band. their version of Molly's lips and territorial pissings are two of their best songs.

[@steve9094]

I think Kurt was an underrated guitarist. Most people who criticize his technical ability don't get that Nirvana was rooted in punk rock, and punks generally think that flashy playing is tacky as shit. Kurt had a fluidity and feel to his playing that only natural born musicians have, and he was the best at writing really badass and memorable grungy punk riffs.

[@derekm2684]

I agree did u see that pick attack in aneurysm and kurt was super humble he put himself down alot I think he knew he kicked ass at guitar but would put himself down about it

[@curly_wyn]

Except Kurt and Nirvana were not punk. They were alternative rock. Big difference.

[@von_Grau]

@@curly_wyn It´s not all about the music, it´s about attiude...and their attitude was Punk AF. There are no boundaries...

[@madeinamericalove4722]

@@curly_wyn they were rooted in punk rock, they were all influenced by punk rock but also other genres as well and therefore I believe they transcended punk rock but at the same time elevated it to another level. Improved it if you will.

Everything that has ever happened is underrated

I love Nirvana, Kurt cobain is genius !!

[@twomindz79]

+Jesus Christ I was 13 years old when this was on. Actually I first saw nirvana do 'teen spirit' on SNL. I loved the hair so much I took the rolling stone issue to a hair dresser and got the same thing done. I admit it looked cooler on Kurt. I think my parents were debating disowning me ... true story.

[@MsSuicide13]

simply amazing as always Nirvana was.

[@rashidrani2333]

When creativity is better than technicality and it works just fine....

[@thedude2847]

Almost 30 years later, and I still get it. The message is the same. The meaning's audience has changed. Irony? R.I.P. Kurt

[@FreakyBit4]

All my Nirvana's favorites in one set? Yes, please

I MISS SO MUCH THE 90'S..

The 90s will always be a great decade.

i miss the mid 80s-mid 90s

I certify that I am old enough to ask for the extreme amount of luck I'll need to win this box. In fact, I'm old enough to remember watching Beavis (and my HS classmates) say "FIRE FIRE!" ad nauseam back in the 90's, hahaha. Good luck, everybody and thank you, David!!

[@joaoabbud]

Dave on his best omfg! cheers

[@Tomnedreb]

Great show, and one of the best performances of Aneurysm.

[@strikeanywhere27]

Two decades ago I was almost beaten in the street because I was wearing a Nirvana shirt. I was just a kid. Metalheads in my small country town didn't like grunge or Nirvana. 2022 and I'm still here. Thank you Nirvana

[@hjillumi880]

funny. our generation grew up with metal.

[@joejones9520]

goddam over just a piece of cloth, people need to get a grip, we're only here not long, no need for such detrimental seriousness about nonsense.

[@ajevans4802]

Cool story bro

[@Wolfdragon92584]

I remember in 2002 I stayed up late to watch MTV play all of Nirvana's videos on the 8th anniversary of his passing. That was around the time reality TV had begun taking over and they really only played music videos from post-2000 artists.

[@jakeellman7447]

I remember they played nothing but Nirvana on MTV all day that day and they played the video for You Know You’re Right for the first time.

[@hjillumi880]

yes, 2000's was the beginning of the total commercialisation which was already taking place in the 90´s though
