[@mogglie]

1:10 I’m a lifelong amateur drummer. Dave shows he is the god of rock drums. His groove in the first verse got me. His snare placement and feel in this simplicity is the hardest thing you can pull off as a pro drummer. Usually people think it’s the fast things that are hard. But to maintain energy and pulse in simple moves its the true mastery. What he does here is pure raw drum mastery. So naked and revealing on such a big stage. All this while navigating through curts spontaneous madness. And. When drummers sound this good. The bass is doing it right. Had me in tears. Thank you for the music. All of you.

Every time I watch this live version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, it feels like stepping into a moment that changed music forever. The raw energy, Kurt's haunting voice, and the band’s intensity-it’s like grunge captured in its purest form. Nirvana didn’t just perform, they unleashed a whole new sound and attitude that inspired generations. It's amazing how, decades later, this song still resonates with anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood or out of place. Long live Nirvana!

[@joaopedrogoncalves3861]

[@TeddyGrey]

Ever since Kurt said he didn't like Smells Like Teen Spirit, every Nirvana fan feels the need to agree with him and say it sucks because they have taken idol worship beyond the point where they can have their own opinions. Stop telling people that they're not a true fan if this is their favorite, music taste is subjective. It's not my favorite Nirvana song, but I'd put it as one of their best. A proper anthem that everyone should stop putting so much pressure on themselves to not like. End of.

[@Jedioutcast]

yeah ik. it's so annoying I enjoy this song a lot but its not my favourite

[@linzinorman]

It's actually the one song I don't really like and I never even knew kurt didn't like it lol ... I'm all about polly, lounge act and very ape... Dunno this just didn't really hook me like others

[@LittleDragonGames]

Kurt started this as More than A Feeling because people claimed the songs intro's were identical. So he started as More than a Feeling and switched to Smells Like Teen Spirit (confusing his band mates) to prove a point. Kurt was great

[@peepeepoopoo8006]

no, he definitely used the chord progression from more than a feeling on purpose, he acknowledged it, the whole song was a joke to him

[@bossjet2442]

Love how these guys make concerts fun. Missing chords, living the moment, laughing at it all. Nirvana was unique!

[@brianbishop2]

I was there in '92, about 15 people back from the front, all day. When the band walked on stage, the 50-60,000 people there pushed closer to the stage and all of us up front were crushed. I was afraid if I breathed out, I wasn't going to get another breath. People were passing out and we'd do the best we could to lift them up and surf them forward. Despite feeling like I'd die from asphyxiation, I'm still happy I was there for the 3rd day of that 3 day grunge festival to see them live, along with all the other great bands. Being that close, we could see Kurt, Dave and Krist jamming side stage to all the other bands playing. A really unforgettable experience

[@JackWulfff]

[@pillowsez1625]

[@autumn1231]

you describe the fear of suffocating perfectly. happened to me at a Humble Pie concert in mid 70's. my chest was against the stage with thousands of bodies behind me. steve marriots shoes were in my face and my arms were locked at my side. a few of his guitar picks were right in front of me on the stage and i couldn't get my arms up to grab one. thought i was gonna die right there

Totally get where you are coming from paulo, although not the same as Nirvana it's why I love Pink Floyd.. there studio stuff was as close to perfection as you could get yet live they would play things differently, loads of improve and sometimes the imperfections sound even better than the studio stuff. Nirvana were born to play live!

[@seeyouinhale2317]

Can’t believe it was 30 years ago today. I was driving a red karmann ghia from Augusta Ga to Gaffney SC when I heard the news…got a call on my bag phone. Strange days indeed.
