This is definitely one of their last purest moments as a low level band which is beautiful

In my modest opinion, NO ONE has ever reached or surpassed this damn wrecking creative distorted universal sound, that level of immediate “face to face” expression, freestyle approach to dogmatic state of mind. Kurt’s “cryptic” lyrics reveal the soul making it “naked” & so it resonates unwaveringly indomitably strong like a spiritual riffle which leaves you without a breath and words. I’ve been listening to them for years and literally nothing has ever changed in my perception of this unique and very influential band. I can almost recognize their chords, rhythm sections and vocal parts in many alternative bands worldwide. From Seattle to Moldavia. ❤Awesome indeed. And I’m so happy about it. ✨💫

[@news4usunshine]

***** What you personally think of the song is immaterial. The fact remains that Smells Like Teen Spirit was a MONSTER hit that elevated Nirvana from just another Seattle grunge band into a global phenomenon. It did so because it was a great and incredibly catchy song. The fact that Nirvana also had many other great songs is irrelevant. SLTS is the one that made them.

+Noire For the same reason that I once in about '90 took Bleach to a party attended by straight people, who told me, and I quote: ``Get that shit off.'' I didn't. Then Nevermind came out - great LP - and everybody, including no doubt some of those same straight people, bought it.

Watching Kurt do his thing is like watching one of those old Blues or Appalachian folk musicians, the realness and rawness of it is hypnotizing

For those that weren't around, this is before Nevermind was released, Nirvana were not unknown but early in the bill and for many of us, this was the first time we head them live- blew us away - Ace !!

If I could go back in time I would travel to this concert, grab a beer and let Nirvana destroy my brain.

i love how he deals with guitar failures and improvises so well. And the solos are amazing!

[@Goatchild90]

Seriously, they need to release this fucking concert already, they released LITERALLY everything except a high-definition, professionally filmed DVD of this particular concert. Didn't a member of the Vaselines join them on stage? Didn't Kurt call that the best moment of his life? What's the fucking hold up.

[@chadgrov]

This was before they blew up. literally just before. they headlined this the following year and filmed it. though i think kurt sounds better in this and isn't as wacked on heroin

[@Tramoz2]

Such a troubled mind, such a beautiful and creative mind. It took all our anger from our hard to fit teenage years and filtered it into shout and music. I was fortunate to be part of it, to dance to nonsense, to sing, jump and push all over to feel part of a universe that unveiled ahead of me. It was wonderful, I enjoyed every second of my troubled teenage years, thank you Kurt.

[@wayspirit]

Well said. These songs are so Nostalgic to me now. I used to smoke bud and listen to Nevermind while trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle... weird memories everytime I hear this music!

[@elenareed2103]

Thank you Alternative Copperpot5 for providing this little-heard/seen performance, before Nirvana had hit the bigtime and headlined the following year at Reading. They're still thrilled here, great showmanship all around. Nice. "You're in high school again, you're on acid again". Drain You has no Scream! What lyrics is Kurt singing with Eugene Kelly? It's certainly not "kiss kiss Molly's lips", something else not in sync with Kelly. And I hear Kurt singing Smells as "Our little *group* has always been / And always will until the end". Later live performances he consistently sings it as "tribe" rather than "group", almost as if he's already missing the "smaller" life they'd had together as the more intimate "tribe". Kurt gets his Love Buzz groove on with the crowd. Then it was Attack Dave night! Great concert, gems dropped everywhere. :>)

[@RebouteuxNutritionnist]

This is probably the best show they perfomed, raw, fresh, hard, power and soul. This before the music industry fuckt it up for them. So happy to see an early show of them. Thank you

Nirvana live in 1991, there is nothing better in the history of the world

[@paulscott2502]

I was at this festival in 91, and saw this live, I think it was around midday and it was a great set. I'd been collecting Sub Pop records and bought Bleach on really limited green vinyl a while before, no-one had heard of them. I thought, yeah this band is going be be huge. So when they announced they were playing Reading had to get a ticket. Not long after this festival, Smells Like Teen Spirit came out and they were huge. I remember Kurt jumping into the drum kit at the end - great ending but wow, it looked painful.

[@BERLEBLE]

Do you still have that vinyl?

[@Britton_Thompson]

Considering the fact that Nevermind hadn't even come out yet and Nirvana had only been playing nightclubs & universities up to this point, they had to have been mentally wigging out up on stage playing to such a gigantic crowd. Crowds they'd eventually outgrow all on their own as the headliners for their own individual tours, who wouldn't need a festival in order to play to such enormous crowds.

[@davidthomson4889]

None other than Dave Grohl supports your theory here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laaUhIpmqJ57n8k

[@mojopin70]

Grohl on drums really made nivarna such a powerful dynamic player....

[@reikenkayzer]

2 and a half years was the time Kurt Cobain had in the mainstream spotlight of the world. What that this band managed to achieve in that amount of time is absolutely staggering. Talk about a legacy.

[@hammer35ish]

Wow, never seen this before. It's interesting to see the crowds reaction to 'Teen Spirit' - Massive Mosh pit - Before the track and the Nevermind album had even been released. This would have been the very first time many in the crowd probably would have heard the track. The fact I never got to see Nirvana live still bugs me, I still have two unused tickets for one of the Brixton Academy April 1994 shows that never were.

[@ActiveSayz]

Classic footage of a band who were very close to going global. Kurt's leap onto the drum kit told the music world, "Hello! I'm Here!!"
