Best Drain You performance I've ever heard

[@jenniferwong1765]

I agree this version is the best!!

[@marcomattoso1650]

Yessaa

[@tylerjfanforever691]

You should check out drain you live at the moon 1991! The energy throughout the song is amazing

[@kozatron]

It’s a great one but there are so many good ones. I like the one at the Mayfair 91, Reading 91, Monsters of Spex, live and loud, I could go on forever

[@thefruitiest]

Pure Grunge.

[@MikeGoodmanRealtor]

I’ve heard hundreds of Nirvana Imports that had Drain you on it. This performance of Drain You is the best and rawest ever. This is nirvana as they were meant to be. Raw, aggressive and unfiltered. One of Nirvana's best shows ever. This is Nirvana at their peak if you ask me!!

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

I prefer the late '93-'94 concerts with Pat. Two guitars sounds better to me although I think mostly they're playing the same thing. I gives a fuzzier sound.

[@niceguy1774]

Amen. I was buying all those bootleg box sets and "Outcesticide" CDs too, and the intro to this one is what sells it apart. He didn't even have to do the scream to bring it back to the chorus this time.

[@YY15UPC]

@@anthonyfuqua6988paris 94 sound so good for that exact reason

[@jamesreynolds4272]

They were tuned a half step up I believe, another unique aspect of this performance

This is pure talent. I will always love Nirvana. Rip Kurt Cobain you are forever missed.

[@yongyu6201]

Can you imagine being one of the ones in the studio,hearing this revolutionary sound that was unlike any before. Being beautifully demolished by a tsunami of pure and perfect Sonic exctacy.

[@ms.ellereturns179]

This is my favorite version. He had such passion, promise, skill, looks, style 😍

[@razorac]

Dave Grohl is one hell of a drummer!

[@jaydlak]

Cause he has mad energy

[@yereldda4666]

He used to practice on pillow cases as a kid so a natural hard hitter....and also has mad energy

[@lvauto1]

I think this was one of the best gigs ever and yes Dave is a bad ass drummer

[@marcomattoso1650]

Hahahahja

[@flyingburritobro68]

He was average from a technical basis. Great for simple music like they played

[@Ride1098]

My all time favorite Nirvana song.

[@Adrian4713]

My son is a huge fan of Nirvana. He's 2. Faith in humanity: Restored.

[@JamesGormleyMusic]

Nirvana Vs the mtv sound guy.

[@joop5415]

Every grunge band vs every sound guy. I'm in a heavy rock band. Whatever venue we play at the sound guy just can't fucking do it.

[@marcomattoso1650]

😂😂😂

[@badromenful]

I remember watching this on mtv back then , they were unexplainable , they were in the air

[@ataberkbuharal268]

With eyes so dilated i've become your pupil

[@andifyousaveyoursoul7271]

Is it a reference to heroin?

[@darrylatkinson6007]

And if you save your soul when u r in love your pupils dilate

[@justthefacts5504]

heroin restricts the pupil, not dilate. pinpoint eyes. so he is probably refering to something else. Don't do drugs, kids. especially heroin or meth.🚫

[@333suzylee]

I totally remember this when it aired! Good times, to be that young again with all that awesome music happening!

[@luigib111]

One of the best opening lines to any song

[@ProfessorUFC]

Might be the best ever

[@Relativisticism]

This is probably one of the best performances they had. The sound was great and kurt was right on top of the vocals without his voice going into strain like it often did.

[@paulcharters5933]

Dave took this band to a whole new level

[@ITSIgorcosta]

Dave, Kurt and Krist led the band to a whole new level!

[@paulcharters5933]

***** Correction, I never mentioned song writing, I was talking about music ability and technical prowess. Dave took this band higher, to a better sound. His drumming completed Nirvana. In my opinion

[@paulcharters5933]

What are you on about? Dave was in nirvana. No one mentioned the foo fighters. And when the video aired they didn't even exist.

[@filipematias2239]

Paul Charters Agreed. Dave brought the power and skill to a sloppy guitar and bass. I personally don't give a shit about tech stuff as long as there is content (which Kurt definitely puts in there). But if you ask Nirvana with Dave our without Dave, it would be more than an easy choice. peace

[@jarrydee2799]

I agree..Kurts vocals suck bad..thank god for studios...his vocals suck live always!

[@yereldda4666]

MTV played this show in its entirety on the 10th anniversary of Kurt's death. I remember being in awe at this band, this energy. It was different. Something special.

[@michaelr9839]

I love it. Most influential rock band of my generation. RIP Kurt.

[@theanthill1001]

Man, Dave just murders those drums. Absolute monster.

[@frixrules]

[@GargleMyMayonaze]

You and me both brother...

[@SaulTeebolz]

man... me too. that was soo cool to see this live. i would stay up late and sneak to the one tv we had in the house to watch it. i remember i trying to dye my hair this color many times... always ended up pink lol

[@SaulTeebolz]

cool! thats what i always tried to use but koolaid packs would never really work. i am obsessed with his hair color. hard to believe its koolaid honestly.... you can see the purpley streeks in his hair in other pictures or if you look closely. i woulda thought it was done with 2 diff colors of dye at least.

[@nel0]

RIP Kurt! I for one listen Nirvana everyday. It sounds so good. Puts me in a great mood. Kurt is a LEGEND!!

[@notkurtcobain7074]

Pink/Red hair is something I've always enjoyed looking at because it's incredibly garish and unique. If I ever find a place of my own, maybe I'll have this one empty room that's like, totally grey, with only a light bulb hanging from the ceiling, Then I'll put this one spot on the wall that's gonna be pink and there will be words below it that say "Sit down and enjoy the Fun".

This is still my favorite recorded performance of this song-besides the album version. Kurt’s guitar sounds ripping, his voice is nice and edgy, and you can hear all the instruments, including the vocals, clearly.

[@joesteers4348]

on the opening line of this song i always watch dave when the distortion kicks in the drum kit just explodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DJN4CER]

I don't care what anyone says but the mid 80's to early 90's was MTv's golden age before all these shows started coming out of the woodwork. Nowadays it's basically reality shows and barely anything music related. smh

[@crieverytim]

lol, nobody disagrees w you bud. it's been reality shows for almost decades now

[@sheridangriffin6093]

This was probably one of the last shows where they played at standard pitch. Sometime in early 1992 they started playing a half step down for everything. This song was actually recorded a full step down on the album.

[@abyzzwalker]

Awesome sound.

It's hard to pick just one fav Nirvana song...But this has been it for me since I first got this album on cassette when I was like 9 years old...I'm pretty certain I have read in a few articles that Drain You happens to be one of Kurt's fav as well...Makes sense bc any live show I've watched of theirs,they almost always played this song...And rightfully so...FUCKING GENIUS!!!! LOVE YOU KURT...R.I.P...

[@johnwahl752]

Martha, this was the performance I saw at my friend Drew Johns house when I visited him in Wisconsin in 1995, that sprung the desire for this magnificent 1965 Fender Jaguar.

[@johnwahl752]

I visited Wisconsin And there was a guitar shop around this time 1995. And there was this Jaguar that looked a lot like Kurt’s. I begged my mom to buy it for me. It was $500.00. It was a Japanese I think. Years later I had gone through a lot of Japanese Jaguars. I’ve had 3 original 1966 Fender Jaguars.

[@polnoeceloe]

I think this song is the best from Nirvana's first album, it has a beautiful melody combined with a lot of passion and light love lyrics, and it has an innovative drumming for the pop rock of the time. Kurt also appreciated this song above others

[@hairulnizam6528]

HEAVY METAL.

[@johnwahl752]

And I had only one vintage small clone mini chorus pedal. It was from a guitar maniacs catalogue. I like reissues because these old pedals are so used. But I got the idea of the pearl block inlay from a guitar shop that sent me those old photos that would pop out of the camera. It was so gorgeous. I wanted it so bad. It was an original. Sunburst

[@Adrian4713]

He likes it all for the most part. I think probably Lithium is his favorite.
