[@adrianasgari1150]

I love watch the early Nirvana on a small stage; you can feel the energy.

[@IntellitechStudios]

That mic next to Jason is really into it!

[@that.one.orchid]

You always have energy on stage. It's one of the best feels personally (I'm a drummer in a band so)

[@psychodeli]

Some bands were not meant for large stages (Offpring headlining Download was a joke) and some have a large stage (Imagine KISS in a pub) 🤣😂

[@stivmortis88]

Whoa, young krist playing in video, old future krist smiling back in poster behind him. Some quantom leap shit going on imo

kurt's guitar was the univox hi flyer and jason's guitar was the fender telecaster

[@bruh-gn5kc]

Originally "Live! Tonight! Soldout!" was going to include this specific performance of "Sifting" according to an unsent letter by Kurt in his journals, wierd to think how he looked back on this performance and was like "thats going in"

[@IntellitechStudios]

Info Setlist: 1. School 2. Floyd the Barber 3. Love Buzz 4. Big Cheese 5. About a Girl 6. Sifting 7. Spank Thru 8. Dive 9. Polly 10. Negative Creep 11. Blew Kurt Cobain: Vocals/Guitar Jason Everman: Guitar Krist Novoselic: Bass Chad Channing: Drums Notes: - Floyd was recorded for Bleach with Dale Crover, as was Paper Cuts and later Downer. - Jason Everman Did not play on Bleach, but got credit because he later joined and paid for the record. - Love Buzz and Big Cheese appear in the sequence on the single. - Sifting was rarely played live, and was considered filler for Bleach. - Spank Thru was not released on any Nirvana Album. - Polly was played electric for the 1989 era.

[@terryrollins1973]

Sifting was considered filler?!?!?! That's my favorite song on the album 😮

[@frugal9065]

Damnn they don’t play downer

[@brianvolpe3242]

So free, so raw, so natural. These guys tapped into something pure and after 26 years still gives me the bumps!! Thanks for inspiring me to JAM!!

[@fernandoramoa7079]

blown away by the sound quality you got for what is essencially a 35 year old tape

[@steviep76]

This might be be my favourite nirvana gig 😍

[@Juan-c3y9u]

Dichosos los que estuvieron en esa ocasión viendo a Kurt en vivo tan cerca.

[@gaborgalda5404]

I wish they would release this whole concert with improved graphics on DVD. I would totally buy it

once a video is recorded that’s just how it is :/

i was only 13 that year,but i wish i could have seen Kurt then.forget a barbie or my little pony for x mas i would have wanted HIM!!!!!

[@PAul.paUL.PaUL.]

Negative Creep feels like a punch in the face ! One of Nirvana's best songs

[@spaceclown7650]

Especially this version. It sounds like an engine.

[@PAul.paUL.PaUL.]

@@spaceclown7650 True. The drums sound very powerful and the guitar...Man, it sounds sooo mean ! I think alot comes from the bad recording too but I still love this version because it is so rough

[@JACKYINDO]

Thank you for the video. Awesome to see Nirvana played BLEACH album with its former Guitarist and drummer. Finally we can see Jason Everman and Chad Channing along with Kurt and Krist.

[@PANJANG-sn3th]

When big cheese sonh have 2 guitarist in live stage this change are beast song....awesome

[@CMOYoung]

That's a really good version of Sifting. This is the only concert I've actually seen them play this at, they barely played it.

[@chiefmangas2367]

Cmo Games Its because Kurt doesn't like Sifting that's why they hardly play it.

[@mrpumavol7.044]

@@chiefmangas2367 why he didnt like it?

[@chiefmangas2367]

@@mrpumavol7.044 the same reason that artists dislike some songs they made. They hardly play them at all and become a part of past songs. Even at one concert in Europe the same year of the video, Kurt even says, " I don't want to play Sifting, it sucks."

[@IanThatMetalBassist]

Krist looks like he came straight out of a 60s garage band with that haircut.

Amazing show! Thank you for uploading this piece of music history. And to think, I only live 15-20 away when this show happened, too bad I was only 9. I did buy bleach about 6-8 months later though! Proud to say I have been a huge Nirvana fan for 26 years! Damn, I miss these days!

This was the second show of the bleach tour. Damn man, thankful for the documentation of such important music history.

Thank you! I at one time had 47 Nirvana bootleg CDs purchased in '95 and later .. thank God for KZbin and creators like you .. thank you for sharing my enthusiasm for noise and timing and screaming .. one of the last albums of the 80's was Bleach .. think about that .. the 80's .. Minor Threat .. Bad Brains .. Black Flag .. all that pop shit .. hip-hop, gangsta rap .. heavy metal, death metal .. techno .. yet Nirvana .. I mean just listen .. Nirvana was loud as all fuck .. I can't imagine to have been there

[@Gear_rack]

Jason turnout to be sum kind of special force ranger, he never talked bout till recently, a yr ago or so, Awsum footage, specially Kurdt......

[@evilcraig359]

In 1989 as being someone who did visit records stores at that point in time. Let me say this would have been awesome.

[@DaniCsaszi]

I like that the place was too small and Krist had to stand behind Kurt. :D

[@andrewnapthali1831]

Itt was an absolute pleasure to b in the Nirvana era.This footage is amazing.The fact that they started somewhere so small & before Kurt died they were selling out venues.The 10 or so people that witnessed this gig have an awesome memory for the rest of there life & can tell his/her son,daughter.What a killer opening song !!!!! Won't U believe it it's just my luck no recess,no recess,no recess!!!!!! 🤯✌️😛

[@sahbiah]

Dive is def one of the best Nirvana songs

[@brothers979]

Wish Everman toured with them more, he fits the band well.

[@lizzylorrainegarcia1584]

brothers979 I wish the same it’s a shame they got rid of Jason and Chad

[@Bharathk]

The synchronized head banging during the chorus of School tell me these guys have the same favorite part of the song as me.

[@totoro-live]

wow found again!!!!! I love Nirvana on small stage. Forever live Nirvana in my heart ❤️

[@anthonymunoz6272]

This is absolutely perfect. I need to find band mates.

[@f.w.2054]

Amazing from the very start!

[@gatoxdigital]

Que manera de transmitir rock x las venas, ese disco del bleach es una obra maestra de la historia del rock.

[@Albertowesker]

El mejor album de Kurt, crudo, natural, como espontáneo. El inutero, es otro que es una obra maestra.

[@johnnybravo5726]

Can't believe this pure gold was just a gig for a record store. Most legit (authentic) performance I've seen in my life.

[@danegoodwin3057]

It's the late 80s... Imagine naively walking into this record store to buy the new Cinderella album all your friends are talking about, and boom. You hear this

[@eduardobracamontealvarez1959]

the best line up

[@draganapasti_]

I have to add, more I listen to this amazing band , more I’m disarmed. Kurt has known every single riff what he’s doing , creating suggesting…oh my, what a powerful instrumentals, cutting of melodic lines and transferring to transcendental music experience, in an absolute distortion that blows your mind before noticing what’s happened indeed. Unbelievable. Never heard smth sooo good!!! Ah, that “old goddess of grungy energy” ❤️ Nothing compares to it, literally nothing 🐦🔥🔥They’ve turned the wheel of rock history forever!!! In all f….. senses! Presenting the purest emotions through such an impressive “dirty grungy “ energy… “Contradiction which invaded the rock world 🌎 “ Hat off !!!

The hairs on my neck still stand up everytime I hear Spank Thru and Dive live

[@fernandoramoa7079]

it's too bad Novoselic abandoned finger plucking. l started out bass with a pick too but then l learned plucking and l noticed that punching power can never be acquired with a pick

[@kevin43324332]

GOD I love this GEM. No words express how many memories this era brought me when I was a young teenager!...Most people who've listen to Nirvana don't know THIS Nirvana. They know the Smells like Teen Spirit or Unplugged version of them. I MUCH prefer them in the earlier days.

[@ferabra8939]

Chad Channing plays ten times better live than on Bleach. Still, he was no Dave Grohl. I love the Bleach album and era, before they made it.

[@imthegrk]

I think Dale Crover recorded on Bleach. Didn't he?

[@ferabra8939]

From Wikipedia, Dale Crover - drums on "Floyd the Barber", "Paper Cuts", and "Downer". Chad played the rest. Just listen to "School" played by Chad on Bleach, and then played by Dave Grohl. IMO the song comes alive with Grohl. Not to take credit from Chad, he was a good, solid drummer. Even Dave himself gave him credit in the Nirvana Hall of fame thing.

[@daydreamer92ify]

Fer Abra I agree but I feel like Chad was better at writing drum parts than performing them, he wasn't really a solid or consistent live drummer, but all of the stuff he did on Bleach was really cool and intricate. Not to mention him and Kurt wrote at least half of the drum stuff on Nevermind, look for the Smart Session demos with Chad on drums, those were the first versions of Nevermind songs done with Butch Vig and were the demos Nirvana sent out to major labels to land a deal. All of those cool drum fills on In Bloom? Those were Chad's parts.

[@YourPainAintLove97]

daydreamer92ify If I'm correct it was only SLTS and I think Something in the Way that Dave had to come up with drum parts for

[@SyreDrengene]

A real Nirvana love all drummers from Nirvana :) Listen to "With the Light Out"

[@nu-metalfan2654]

This was an odd mix, you’ve got Chad Channing and the other guitarist looking like they want to play Metal, you’ve got Krist looking like he came from a 60’s Garage or Proto Punk band, and you’ve got Kurt looking very different with his longer hair and with his purple shirt. In a parallel universe this was the Nirvana that become famous.
