You DEFINITELY have to appreciate Dave’s style of “quiet drumming” during this whole unplugged set.

[@miikkalehtonen3389]

Compared to his normal Nirvana style of just going absolutely apeshit he is remarkably restrained here.

[@deanruthlessrecords]

@@miikkalehtonen3389 … I just appreciated his restraint here. To me, from a technical standpoint, it looks rather difficult to play that “low” but also make it sound amazing at the same time. I’ve just always thought about Dave’s style of playing ever since I watched this in 1993 on MTV for some reason?!?!

[@moniquelacosta5170]

Of all of the songs Nirvana has performed, my favorites are the acoustic performances. I am so glad that there is an unplugged. It is great to see a non wild performance with Dave playing a soft drum. Just to hear Kurt's mild voice is amazing. I love this live performance.

[@yobrethren]

Haven't Kurt started out with an acoustic guitar? He's a good player actually, not much unwanted sounds coming out, very straight forward punk sound and emotional lyricism Heard that the moment i first listened to Nirvana, on my sis' burned disc in a car, with "best of" Also agree that the drum sticks add a ton to the show's character

[@muntmunt3155]

Sad fact, Kurt was planning on pursuing a more acoustic record after In Utero. That's the reason why he was exploring and mucking around with these more folk sounding performances

[@1970brenz]

Me too. I never liked Nirvana and their vibe was too aggressive for me, so I was SHOCKED(!!!) to see this show and enjoy it so much. He's cute but the music stripped back is so palatable and his voice and guitar unique.

[@eoinm5758]

Well it was one of the beauties of nirvana they could go hard or soft and it worked both ways

[@SmoothOperator2013]

@@muntmunt3155 That's too bad he decided to commit suicide... but one consolation is even in death he was thoughtful. He wiped the prints from the gun after he shot himself. Look at the facts. 3x the lethal amount of heroin. He didn't die or pass out. He wrote "suicide note" then he had enough function to point a shot gun at his head. I still haven't figured out how he would have reached the trigger, but after all that, he wiped the prints. Clearly a suicide and not a murder.

He really seemed like the coolest guy and his music doesn’t feel old. I’m just discovering him now and I wish he’s still alive! However, he did have lots of physical and mental health issues that tormented him daily. Being a drug addict doesn’t help… I heard somewhere that he wasn’t feeling well the day of this performance and threw up right before performing. It’s incredible that he can still sing like that when he’s not feeling well!

[@StevenPearson-k5r]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed it. It's not just an imaginary thought, there's something about the way he moves that really shows as if he's trying hard to be gentle with them.

[@marki7661]

@@user-sr9qe2zl9wthat’s actually what happened. In rehearsals and even during sound check he was having a hard time playing quiet enough and was drowning everyone and his drums were bleeding into all the microphones. Or he would start a song playing quiet but once he was in the zone he’d get louder and louder. So they went and got him those light sticks that are basically little bundles of thin lightweight wood taped together. I think they’re called Rutes but don’t quote me on that, im a guitarist not a drummer lol. That’s also why he looks so focused on hitting as quiet as possible throughout the whole show.

[@thomasdodd6897]

I let her pick a guitar for me I’ve the summer and told her on her birthday that once she learns her first nirvana song all the way through she can have that guitar I let her pick for me.

In my opinion this has to be one of the best live performances that has ever been recorded. Pure perfection from start to finish. You can hear the pain in his voice and looking back knowing what happened to him it probably was pain. "Where did you sleep last night" and "The man who sold the world" are the only songs that have ever brought me to tears. And not cuz it speaks to a part of me or my life. It's purely his performance that hits me. This audience had no clue what they were witnessing at the time.

I am a year older than you and with growing up in the 1980's, being exposed to Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, then having it turn into the Hair Bands of the late 1980's, our generation was looking for something different. Bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, etc... brought us the Seattle Sound and it was EXACTLY what we were all looking for. I listened to a WIDE range of music, but at that time of my life (graduated HS in 1995), this was my favorite type of music to listen to. From Beastie Boys to Rage Against the Machine. From NWA to Young MC. From Pantara to Metallica. I love it all but when I wanted to jam and let time slip away, I always listened to that Grunge sound. In regards to Kurt dying at 27, or should I say, being killed at 27..... He was a candle burning at both ends. He was going to burn out anyway. People like him always do. Jim Morrison (The Doors), Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Brian Jones (Rolling Stones), Jimi Hendrix., Janis Joplin., Robert Johnson and more. Like Chris Farley & John Belushi , we would all love to see them lived out long lives of more great material and comedy, but it just wasn't in the cards. Some candles burn bright for a long time. Some burn and then fizzle out. Some candles are burned at both ends and just can't last. Some of the best were this way....and maybe that's what made them legends? Who knows.

[@Cabeza492]

How ironic is that your favorite song of Nirvana unplugged is a song that doesn't even belong to Nirvana... I would have preferred that they played songs like Lounge act, Lithium and Heart shaped box, instead of that "Meat puppets" shit.

[@superhero7464]

This will be one comment in a million, likely to never be noticed. But I'm going to make it anyway. I was was born in March 1979. We lost Kurt in 1994 so sadly. At the time I was in to Bon Jovi, Alice in Chains, Guns and Roses, Metallica, etc. It wasn't until I met a girl, on a school trip to Washington DC, from Canada. We really hit it off on the trip. In Fact I was planning on running away from home on the trip because of family problems. Anyways, we got back from that trip after having a whirlwind romance and were together for about 6 years. When Kurt left our world it ruined her. I didn't know much about his music, but afterwards started getting into it. At the time the next big thing was NIN and pumpkins and what not. But now, as a nearly 45 year old man, which still thinks like a 20yo can nearly tear up to any Nirvana song just through his expression. This may sound bad, and possibly even very wrong, but I think in some small way we can appreciate his music at the same frequency it was written because he is gone. Every strum from the guitar, every bleeding beautiful tone of his voice, drum beat and thought put into his music is never going to be repeated in my opinion. The reason I bring this up is because I didn't know Nirvana at the time. The girl I met on the bus to Washington was a huge fan. When Kurt died she made several suicide attempts because she was so enamored by his music. It wasn't until years later that I finally found his resonance. And its unforgettable and more than even that. No words. Anyways... Lost but never, not ever... forgotten. RIP Kurt.
