Pretty neat thing I noticed. At the end of Blew, Kurt drops to the floor (At 43:43). From there, in the front row, you can see his then girlfriend Tracy Marander lean in, about to take a photo. The camcorder then moves over and zooms in on Krist Novoselic, but you can still see the flash go off. That photo became The cover of the Nirvana EP "Blew".

Truth. I met my best friend in 9th grade cuz we both were in the same class and always stoned and both had nirvana shirts.. He made me a couple nirvana TAPES with a bunch of songs I had never heard of. I mean where else would you find shit like that back then? I
I heard that this was a last song recorded at a session because Kurt got bored and threw his guitar and it only had three strings left so they wrote and recorded it. Drop D tuning on his guitar.
My buddy always talked about this show. If ya see a dude sitting on a speaker it's him. He told this fing story till 96. Every Damn time he had a beer. Glad to see there is proof there even was a show.
Next time that you two have a beer, put this video, and enjoy it with your buddy, besides he wont need to tell you anymore about it because you already know... hehe 2 birds with one stone.
I’m currently reading Mark Lanegan’s memoir, and yesterday I learned that in the early days, such as in this video, Krist was so fed up with everything always having to be Kurt’s way, that he wanted to quit Nirvana and join Screaming Trees. Lanegan was looking for a new bassist at the time, and he was always impressed by his skill, but he talked Krist into sticking with Nirvana because he knew even then that they had something special. Krist was convinced to patch things up with Kurt, and the rest is rock n roll history. Mark Lanegan, the patron saint of Nirvana.
StrightJacket HTD4LIFE no problem! the book is called “Sing Backwards and Weep” if you’re interested. It was just released earlier this year, and it has a lot of details of the Seattle scene, and lots of little known stories that Nirvana and Alice In Chains fans would find interesting to read. 🤗
""Dive" was performed for the first time live on May 26, 1989 at the Lindbloom Student Centre of Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington. "
The only other person at every Nirvana show besides Kurt Cobain was Krist Novoselic. This man lost his true best friend for life when he left this world. Keep Nirvana alive to help Krist.
@@vilimbubas1302 Lol, shows what you know about Nirvana...stop talking out your ass. "He [Kurt] told Dave Grohl that he is his best friend and asked him to never leave the band no matter what, because he couldn't do this [the band] without him. Krist shook his head in agreement. Dave Grohl said he would die before that happened and they smiled. Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain, and Dave Grohl had a group hug." -Youri Lenquette, who was on the tour bus (1995) "I’m the dude who drove him to the frickin’ hospital, or hanging out with him while he’s puking his guts, and trying to help him. " -Krist on Kurt's stomach problem (2008) "I remember one time they were in my office waiting for Jonathan and Bruce and they were making jokes about why they were making records, they were half-joking, because they never thought it would be possible, but they wanted to buy a chunk of land in the middle of nowhere that was all farm land. And they wanted it to be big enough so Krist and Shelli could have a house built on that land, and Kurt and Tracy wanted a house on the same chunk of property, so they could be neighbors and have these great farmhouses. And they were laughing because they never thought they'd be able to have it. Those two [Kurt and Krist] were inseparable at the time. They were so tight." -Megan Jasper of Sub Pop "Probably this letter I got from Kurt in 1992. That sounds terribly melodramatic, but it's true. I lose everything: passports, wallets, car keys, credit cards, but that letter is absolutely irreplaceable. He wrote it to me when everything was going nuts. We were all living in different places- he was in Los Angeles, I was in Virginia and Krist was in Seattle- and some decisions were being made without me. I got really bummed out and Kurt sent me this letter about my role and stature in the band. It was all, 'I love you like a brother.' -Dave on what he would save from a house fire (Melody Maker) "See I've always wanted male friends that I could be real intimate with and talk about important things with and be as affectionate with that person as I would be with a girl." -Kurt (1993) "Krist was Kurt's best friend - always.

Relationships are more important than anything else. I think everyone should go all the way in trying to strengthen their personal relationships. For me, it's very important to have friends who understand your needs and who'll help you in difficult times. The value of friendship is immense, and it should be thought of that way." -Kurt when asked how he values friendship (1991)
Other than vocal being low in the mix at the times I actually think this sound is pretty good for a live gig. I’m assuming its only going through the camcorder mic from the speakers. Pretty amazing really.
Used to work graveyard shift campus safety at green river. Many nights after everyone had gone home Id walk across the stage and think of this show. People were always buzzing about how Nirvana had played there, But now I’ve actually seen it!
Guys, I made a documentary on Kurt - ruclips.net/video/3ql3GVv_LRw/видео.html - check it out if you got 5 mins. I just started making docu 1.5 months ago.
My son was 5 years old in 1995 when he heard "Heart Shaped Box" being played on the radio (KOME & KSJO) and started singing it all the time. He liked the song so much that he asked me for the album "In Utero" for his Birthday, so I did. Can you imagine ... a 5-year old boy becoming so positively emotionally moved? Damn... I only saw him getting excited about Nirvana's music whenever it was played on the airwaves ... smiling, singing, and jumping around - really Happy. Of course, I'm a major Nirvana fan too. Growing up and later into adulthood my son learned to write and play piano. At that time and at such a young age, Kurt really was a role model for my son musically, and as he grew up helped inspire and encourage him to develop his own artistic talents. We both still listen to and LOVE Nirvana! ... (NOT the ex). Great video! Thanks for posting! 📽 // by Lisa 12/22/22, 12:22pm
Feb 1989. Nirvana unfortunately cancelled and didn't play that gig. Kurts girlfriend got sick and he flew back to WA. I think they made it to Davis, CA before jumping ship.
In 1989, I was a junior in high school at Kent Meridian. I lived about 1/2 mile from GRCC and took a few classes there. I was at this show and it’s so cool to see that it was recorded!
Lol i'm in the same exact position as you right now as you were in 89! Currently in KM and taking a few classes at GRCC, hopefully I can form a band there soon!
1989? God, this is early! Way before Fame but it’s obvious he’s got something. He’s like an uncut Diamond. Kind of raw. Once someone cuts it right, it will shine! But the luster didn’t last long. The light burned out fast. RIP Kurt
when this was playing, i lived in some apartments by lea hill, it was sure a treat!! nirvana, soundgarden, the trees, mudhoney,!! isaw them all the time!!
I guess Kurt would have a very beautiful life today, as a carpenter, or chef, if it wasn't any MTV back then. But it was, and i was a Nirvana fan (in Romania!). It all happened so fast for that guy. I really blamed him fot a while. But now, in my 40's, I can understand all the pressure on that kid.
Everyone knows he didn't end it by his hand. Don't blame him. Drugs were easy way to cope and it's sad drugs take too many great talents too early. Drugs were there but not the cause for ending it. We're lucky that we have something he and the band left behind for us to enjoy for the rest of our lives.
They were more punk with heavy distortion. Soundgarden and AiC were closer to metal but by late 80s you had bands like Deicide, Death, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, etc.
Dudes!!! I brought this bootleg cassette when I was a kid and now this appears on RUclips 20 years later. It's fucked up seeing this as a video now.. It was cooler in my head
At 17 mins roughly you hear a girl on mic say you’ll never get nirvana out of your system. That was 1989. Let’s pause and reflect. This thing was going to explode.
I was just getting out of thrash/death metal and Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Nirvana were ballsy, innovative, and rockin'!. In the end it's all rock n' roll!
I was a little under 10 in the early 90’s when I first started listening to them and I knew as a kid that they were something special the world had never seen.
Wow this goes to show that whatever issues they had with Chad, they cant reasonably claim that his drumming was substandard, unless they had a ridiculously high bar set for how good they wanted their drummer to be! Listen to School for example, or some of those rolls on Negative Creep! Most bands would love to have such a good drummer behind them! Now Dave probably IS better, he is a massively talented individual on all fronts, as we know, but still . . . I think there must have been more pressing reasons why Chad parted ways with the group, he could clearly hold his end up musically.
Dave openly admits their original drummer was very good (see foo fighters Reading festival 11 minute long ‘times like these’) so it must have been other reasons.
Chad had a family going on and that's more the reason, at least thats what seems to be the reason more than anything he didn't stay in the band at least from reading Kurt's journals. He couldn't dedicate his time to the band as much as they would like him to
Everman is such a badass, rocking the tele here, paying for Bleach and never asking the money back, bassing with Soundgarden, Green Beret in real life. The dude should have a statue for crying out loud.
Thank you. This is beyond cool. Can't believe this is actually available. Back when I states collecting Nirvana bootlegs I never imagined the early stuff even existed, yet alone in video form as well. Amazing man, just amazing. Feels like I've reached, I dunno, NIRVANA???
I go to shows now and it’s so beautiful how for as long as people have been playing live music, it hasn’t changed. Just a bunch of people looking to escape, dance and hear some killer music.
I grew up in a house across the street from this college in Auburn (Lee Hill homes represent!) I was only 7 when they played this show so unfortunately i didn't make it 🙂 Thanks for the upload!

Dudes!!! I brought this bootleg cassette when I was a kid and now this appears on RUclips 20 years later. It's fucked up seeing this as a video now.. It was cooler in my head
anybody else appriciating that they are playing at Green River community college?
Auburn, WA, city of my birth. 😊
Yeah...Gary Ridgway
I've never seen Kurt's hair this long. :)
At 17 mins roughly you hear a girl on mic say you’ll never get nirvana out of your system. That was 1989. Let’s pause and reflect. This thing was going to explode.
17:32
I was just getting out of thrash/death metal and Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Nirvana were ballsy, innovative, and rockin'!. In the end it's all rock n' roll!
And she followed that up with "I'm wasted." Let us reflect on that as well.
I was a little under 10 in the early 90’s when I first started listening to them and I knew as a kid that they were something special the world had never seen.
holy crap, this is great quality!
thanks!
He had such a powerful voice.
Wow this goes to show that whatever issues they had with Chad, they cant reasonably claim that his drumming was substandard, unless they had a ridiculously high bar set for how good they wanted their drummer to be! Listen to School for example, or some of those rolls on Negative Creep! Most bands would love to have such a good drummer behind them! Now Dave probably IS better, he is a massively talented individual on all fronts, as we know, but still . . . I think there must have been more pressing reasons why Chad parted ways with the group, he could clearly hold his end up musically.
Chad was kicked out of Nirvana , because he wanted to share songwriting duties with Kurt . 👟🥁
Dave openly admits their original drummer was very good (see foo fighters Reading festival 11 minute long ‘times like these’) so it must have been other reasons.
Chad had a family going on and that's more the reason, at least thats what seems to be the reason more than anything he didn't stay in the band at least from reading Kurt's journals. He couldn't dedicate his time to the band as much as they would like him to
Everman is such a badass, rocking the tele here, paying for Bleach and never asking the money back, bassing with Soundgarden, Green Beret in real life. The dude should have a statue for crying out loud.
Es así la verdad lo que nunca fue y lo será
I thought that was the green beret badass that was jammin w them.
Jason, is that you?
They'd just tear it down. Can't have a person in the USA military getting a statue im go ole communist Seattle
@@honza8265 you funny lmao
Awesome to hear Sifting, what a rare number
This is when Nirvana kicked ass!
I think these videos are really important of Nirvana cause it really looks like Kurt was really into it and having fun.
B4 he went all heroin f-boi
wow////I was at this show///I was 16 years old and i want to go back
this footage is a gem,,how i miss old days before the internet
Holy shit! This is a real gem! Thanks for this. Nirvana 4 ever!
At 37:53 anyone else hear Jason playing Beyond the Wheel by Soundgarden?? Pretty awesome foreshadowing.
That one note 09:14 that makes you recognize the song in a split second
that version of negative creep is fire
Thank you so much for this...
Thank you. This is beyond cool. Can't believe this is actually available. Back when I states collecting Nirvana bootlegs I never imagined the early stuff even existed, yet alone in video form as well. Amazing man, just amazing. Feels like I've reached, I dunno, NIRVANA???
Oh my God man. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Chad's double pedal effect on Big Cheese... really amazing
Thanks for posting this. Takes me back to my GRCC days. Missed the show unfortunately.
34:25 Puddle of Mudd has left the chat
I go to shows now and it’s so beautiful how for as long as people have been playing live music, it hasn’t changed. Just a bunch of people looking to escape, dance and hear some killer music.
This is gold. Thank you for posting. It’s all we have left.
not just complete but a great looking picture too, vibrant lush colours. thanks Mike
Been waiting years for this one
Do I spy Kurt wearing black jeans?
Yes
and a crisp purple button up! he must have prepped up for this college show!!
They also appear to be new and clean, this was the very first thing I noticed!
mattwhip looks like they still combed their hair at this point. Some of their interviews in ‘91 look like they were all about to have dread locks.
Yes
The passion is there. Thanks for sharing
Love how he controls the feedback in pitch. . Genius
thanks!
Love your channel - thanks a million!
Wow! Great quality! Thank you
Ahhh Nirvana bc! before Courtney!!
Jep! :D Anna,Christine,Tinja&Markku :D Thanks!
Amazing! Been a fan since they were around in the 90's and never seen Kurt's hair so long 😂 Love it. 👍🏻
Incredible to exhume such material....
1000x thanks
It is like watching the birth of a child, an angry unpolished child that changed the world forever!
WOW. This footage is priceless. 👀
Ok this is the most underground nirvana's concert.. i love it
I grew up in a house across the street from this college in Auburn (Lee Hill homes represent!) I was only 7 when they played this show so unfortunately i didn't make it 🙂 Thanks for the upload!
I love their sound during this era.
Meh. The sound’s a little muddy. KIDDING!!! This is awesome. Thanks for posting!
4:49
*Kurt.exe has stopped working*
That was an anti-solo. LOL
