Because all three of them sounded great singing. Nirvana was always supposed to be a 4 piece with multiple vocalists. Kurt was probably excited about all the new possibilities having 3 singers 2 guitarists would allow them to do songwriting wise and live.

I love seeing Krist and Kurt sing together here. I like to think no matter how dysfunctional their relationship became towards the end, their friendship would have endured.

[@skelter1153]

No... KURT became dysfunctional. Krist was and has always been the same guy. Imagine your best friend and co-founder of the band that changed your life forever married some controlling narcissist who completely kept him away from you and kept feeding him heroin and pills to keep control. You'd be frustrated too. Courtney is an evil B****, and Krist and Dave KNEW she was from the very beginning.

[@foxheadspeed]

Kurt has a helluva of a Ric Ocasek impression. Love how his voice turns from Ric to Kurt from the verse to the chorus. Great blend of two very unique sounding bands/voices. Great choice of cover, nods to their clear power pop influence while somewhat subverting it in a totally punk ass way. Fucking awesome.

This is just so great. Kurt had said in late 93 and early 94 that he saw Nirvana as a new wave band, and here's the group making good on that.

[@zedeighty]

They were obviously having a great time at this gig. Nice to see. Also, I don't think Kurt ever gets enough credit for his intentionally bad guitar solos.

[@snowmountainlion]

Best screwy solo I ever did hear

[@hapilydamaged]

[@JoshDaveJones]

Wish people would stop reading so much into Kurt's behavior on these videos.

[@gabrielladiamantina]

Exactly.

[@Lunarosalina]

yeah that's true. He honestly isn't acting that different than usual. People wouldn't be saying anything if he hadn't killed himself a few months after.

[@KAMIKAZE_J]

Iesha For the record this concert and the "last" was on Mar. 1 1994. He died April 5, 1994.

[@MiNT-qs9js]

KAMIKAZE J this is the last

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

+Iesha - the Rome suicide attempt was 2 days after this and happened because he wanted to make love to Courtney after being apart for so long and she refused. Kurt had been so lonely on this tour and became paranoid Courtney was having an affair. After Kurt came out of the coma, his behavior in the final month led Krist to believe the overdose had left him with some kind of brain damage because he was truly a shell of his former self.

[@eramorgan7375]

I found out about this version on KZbin. It's better than I thought it would be. Excellent.

[@justinkline1294]

I've known about this performance for decades thru bootleg tapes, but never saw the video until now. A real gem. Glad that I stumbled upon it. I'm a fan since at least 1992, so any new (to me) Nirvana video is a real find. Thanks much for posting.

Oddly enough, Nirvana covering this song is how I knew the song Moving In Stereo because I hadn't gone too much into The Cars' music and had only heard the handful of songs that are always on the radio. It's now one of my favorites by them.

[@jonnybgoode007]

Thanks. I appreciate this. I had no idea that Nirvana covered this. Awesome, to say the very least.

[@BassCoversWithTabs]

For those wondering, in the end Krist is yelling a verse from another The Cars' song, "Moving In Stereo". It goes like: life's the same i'm moving in stereo life's the same except for my shoes life's the same you're shaking like tremolo life's the same it's all inside you

[@notoriousbastards11]

would love to hear a studio version by nirvana. Nirvana always seemed to be able to handle cover songs while adding their own flavor to it, not many artists can make a good cover.

[@RobertNixAlternativeArtist]

It’s so much harder than people think. For instance, songs I’ve known the lyrics to for decades I cannot play and sing at same time. Maybe it’s because I have no talent and have to work hard for every song I can play. Maybe it’s just natural for some. But to me, it’s basically impossible. I can never be a front man and that kinda sucks.

Kris and Dave put in 3 years of work and finally emerged as song writers on Kurt’s level and stepped up in terms in music direction for the band. Kris being able to sing and play and Dave being able to sing lead really opened the future possibilities for them. Pat smear actually knowing how to play guitar and could figure out how to play cover song’s correctly was huge. His Gibson tones and Kurt’s fender sound made them sound huge. Kurt did it.
