Nirvana w/St. Vincent - "Lithium" | 2014 Induction

[@cnewtoneov]

I watch this video periodically because I LOVE how she started off a little nervous but then broke out. Even Krist was touched. You could see Dave in the background loving her performance. But the second reason is because I grew up with this band. On a selfish side, I feel cheated because I didn't get more music from Nirvana and it was at a time where we really needed it. But I also feel for the band and families that are still dealing with Kurt's death.

[@timothygallagher8744]

yea it took her a second. she did whats sometimes hard to do an looked at the audience. Remembered why she was up there. When her fav part of the song came she nailed it. For a brief second she was truly there or awoke, or in the zone whatever you call it. 3:34 you can see the psycho in her eyes lol. It's not really psycho but its just a higher level of excitement that you don't blow off traditionally by like excersizing or jumping around like those ladies in the crowd per say lol. That one moment was everything. All you have to do is kill/own one moment in a song. and that one guy gave her the hats off lol. He meant it

[@jamesalan3450]

I think it's just her nailing the essence of the song, its progression is genius. She may be the only person other than Kurt who could've performed this song live.

Absolutely. Even the way she enunciated the “yeah, yeah” lines in the last verse was different than the other verses. Either like an homage, or just her feeling like cutting loose a little toward the end. Awesome.

[@lindseyann6562]

I feel this so much. I was super young when nirvana came out, like 10 years old. I loved them. It's hard to explain the cultural impact they had. I listen to the music now and its even better than I thought it was then. And it's aged well; which is not the case for a lot of stuff from the 90s. I would have loved more Nirvana music but also to have seen what kurt would have done. I think he probably would have worked with a huge range of artists from a bunch of genres.

Honestly, Courtney Love is one of the few who could match the power of Kurt's voice, which is what made "Live Through This" such a great album. But she couldn't really play guitar, and obviously wouldn't have been an appropriate presence with the band at the HOF induction. Maybe Chris Cornell could have done it. Was he asked?

[@jefetters7182]

@L C yes he had tons of charisma and stage presence. But compared to Annie Clark, a multi instrumentalist who knows a ton about intricate production...he is basically a garage band guy playing barre chords and screaming.

[@fredhasopinions]

like how she sings it just differently enough to make it her own instead of being a bad imitation of Kurt. Nobody can imitate him, but she took the song and evolved it and it's got all the emotion it's supposed to have. marvellous

She's more like a female Annie Lennox.

You do know that they paired up, don't you?

[@bogosisekhukhuni3350]

love her vocal delivery!

[@rodolfohernandez772]

I hadn't seen this until now and I have to say that St. Vincent and the guys from Nirvana sound amazing!! Hope Kurt's pleased with this version of his awesome songs!!

[@palindromial]

Such a good version. Thank you!

[@keithkrone77]

Oh my god I love St. Vincent.

[@joelellis9480]

Great musicianship from the whole band, incredible vocals and gorgeous too.

[@Alpha_7227]

Can they just tour together, she compliments them beautifully. This is great.

[@philpants44]

she has nowhere near the raw energy needed for a whole nirvana show tbh.

[@Alpha_7227]

@@philpants44 Who's to say, she could give it a different type of energy and if they were to get together in some guise I bet they would make a wicked album

[@missbutter76]

10/10 ❤ bravo to her! I grew up as a teenager to this song and album Nevermind - on cassette lol. Just a fantastic cover all in all, but how refreshing to get to do a cover of a kick ass rock song WITH the actual band??? Lucky lady 😊

Right on, Krist, still got your chops up on your Gibson ripper bass!"Third time only "on that bass fill, just like it says in the tab.Love the girl from S.t.Vincent, and the musicians ethics you guys have.
