@AG77420 buzz kill. You state the obvious that doesn't need to be said. We all get it. Sorry for trying to be positive. Remind me to invite you to the next party to suck the life out of it.
Have to give Kurt credit for that thick massive tone. Never thought he cared too much about sound but looking back he nailed this full sound. This is gold.
I’m five minutes in and he’s still dialing in the Heads - he just now got to his pedals! Lol ❤ Mr. Grohl - One of the greatest drummers who’s ever picked up sticks but also as a songwriter & frontman….TOTALLY not fair! ;)
Small clubs like this makes Nirvana seem at home, they do capture the audience's energy and bounce it back. One of the best Nirvana sets I've ever listened. If i would be able to travel back in time, i wouldn't go see them at Reading 1992 or Paramount 1991, but to a small club like this. I bet you this was one of the best nights ever for many of the people in there.
I agree, they fought for a record deal by playing these venues but Kurt while interviewed on numerous occasions said he'd love to go back and play in small clubs and sometimes they did just for the helluv it. Whether their handlers liked it or not! ✌❤
Concordo. Eles sempre preferiram tocar em lugares pequenos ... Eu os vi , em um festival grande , aqui no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, em 1993... foi no festival Hollywood Rock, e mesmo com o palco grande e aberto , foi INESQUECÍVEL! Foi aquele show que kurt mostra o pênis pra maior rede de tv do Brasil, e era ao vivo... ele cuspiu na câmera e mostrou o pênis... porque NÃO gostou que o patrocínio maior deste festival era de uma marca de cigarros conhecida mundialmente...

Then add Kurt's incredible sounding voice...seemingly like he could riot at any second...this is amazing. Also, for anyone who ever thought Nirvana wasn't a very rehearsed, tight band...this video proves how fantastic they were live. Wow. You can feel this band as loud as you can hear them

Just discovered this video today and literally only a few hours later I locally found and bought an Original Epiphone ET-270 like Kurt is playing in the vid! Such an awesome playing and sounding guitar!!!
Such a terrible guitar for him to play upside down because of the shape, but it was much better quality over all those univoxes, and he must of liked it as it had quite a long life as far as nirvana gear goes
This one is one of my favorite live performance. Kurt's vocal is almost perfect in hitting notes, pitch and high pitch termination. Thank you guys who made, kept, remastered and upload this miracle to all of us, fans.

Man Kurdt's voice was at it's peak here. Full control and volume. What a loss. I remember reading somewhere how one of Kurdt's biggest issues with Chad was that he kept speeding up during songs. This is one of those sets where I can really hear and see it happening, must have been frustrating as hell.

Excellent live set from an excellent live band. They struck the perfect balance of nailing the tone they wanted, great musicianship, awesome song writing, and wild abandon raw energy. Awesome!
I can't thank you enough for this. It's this kind of footage that is Kurt's true legacy. Forget any circumstance surrounding his tragic passing and remember his passionate life as pure bad ass.
Fucking hell! Kurt's voice on negative creep is absolutely amazing, mind blowing. That's the best vocal performance of that song I've ever heard him do. Feel so blessed to see this footage after being a fan from the UK for 26 years (10 yr old). Thanks
What a great time to live in Sacto. The city had such a great vibe back then. I saw so many great shows at the Cattle Club. I drove by it a few years back, and I was kinda sad to see it boarded up.
I'm 44 too !! 1995 graduate from vevay indiana. Yes we were all lucky. I remember hearing Teen spirit and thought wow this is too heavy for mainstream radio. The world was changing. A year later Metallica The black album.
I saw them 2 days later totally on accident because they were playing at a tiny record store in San Francisco. It was so loud you really couldn't hear the drums!
I was born a couple years too late and a couple thousand miles too far away. Thank you to all the lucky SOBs that did get to see this live and supported it so it would find me eventually. RIP Kurt, Chris, Layne, Mark, Andy, et. al
What gets overlooked(not always but sometimes) is how great of a singer he was. Of course he had no training or anything like that, but had a natural ear for tone, melody, pitch and delivery. Pair that with this wall of sound and it must have been pretty cool see live. He died when I was 15 so I never got the chance :(
Luckily I got to go see them when I was 15, had to beg my mom and at first she said no but changed her mind. I am glad she did because he died a few months later. It's weird how many things I have forgotten over my life but that show remains pretty vivid in my head almost 30 years later
I don’t really think that is overlooked at all. His voice was the defining element of the band. And they were the biggest band in the world for a brief period, more or less.
I'm probably like 4 years older than you. It was a competition back then, well not really a competition. But so many cool bands, influencing other. I mean look at Seattle. They were underground back then, cool local scene. But Pearl Jam had a monster singer, as well as AIC and Soundgarden. But there was a lot of cool music elsewhere. Metallica was metal, but cool. Slayer, etc.. awesome bands everywhere.
Born in 88, I still remember being a boy and listening to my dad sing along to the Nevermind album while driving through Belgium. Respectfully love to play anything nirvana on the guitar to this day.
Die hard Nirvana fans will probably disagree but what amazes me is at the start of the gig there's just this crazy frenetic guy on stage letting out all this uncontrollable noise like an unstable ball of energy then out of nowhere at 13:33 he casually drops a tune that is right up there with any of the earlier Beatles material - had Lennon/ McCartney penned it would have certainly been released as a single. A simple but beautifully crafted near perfect melody on a par with any of the great contemporary songs in any genre. Cobain's 'mainstream pop' songwriting ability that saturated Nevermind is on a level with Lennon/McCartney, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Kate Bush whoever you can think of as a crossover musical genius... That he successfully expressed this songwriting ability authentically through raw punk makes him a musical genius in my book but must have also made him terribly lonely. No one in his genre was anywhere near his level as a songwriter and it almost seems like he felt guilty for this massive talent. It's sad he didn't seem to enjoy the beauty he created but he is undeniably one of the very best to do it.
this is one example of why the internet is good.
That’s about the only good example though. Social media has ruined us

This is the band at their prime. Pre-MTV, pre-commercial, pre-nevermind. we used to just see black and white shots of Bleach-era band. Super amazing.

Damn you , Lars!
No..
This is the best live Nirvana show on RUclips. The audio is so good, you can even hear the individual crowd heckles.
Reverb/echo on his vocals really adds depth..nice recording
Best nirvana concert with originals musicians and fans, Thank you very much for this testimonial
Man Kurdt's voice was at it's peak here. Full control and volume. What a loss.
I remember reading somewhere how one of Kurdt's biggest issues with Chad was that he kept speeding up during songs. This is one of those sets where I can really hear and see it happening, must have been frustrating as hell.
This is good stuff. I used to go to the $7 punk shows at the Paris Theater in downtown Portland. Really enjoy these raw songs.
I've been listening to this in the background while doing other computer stuff. I'm really enjoying what I am hearing.
The Nirvana group where always top notch players. I love how they work the rooms acoustics.
Nirvana +small club= Holy shit!
14:42 This solo-ish part is soooo freaking amazing! Legends!
1 year later and they became one of the biggest bands on the planet
Starts with Dead Kennedys... Ends with Social D... this was PUNK night at the Cattle Club!
Sappy is a great song and Kurt has a beautiful voice🫶🏻
I hope these guys keep at it .. they got a great sound !
I hope more quality live gigs pop up like this....so many top notch nirvana videos coming out lately its great.
It's as if their still going
Which other top notch videos have been popping up?
@@jerrydouglas4583 not AS many lately, but when this video was uploaded there was a solid live recording hitting the net every few weeks. Alot of upgraded versions and some first ever releases too.
Wow, this is as fresh as it was 30+ years ago.
Absolutely LOVE this! Thank you for uploading this EPIC show! 🤘🤘
What an awesome live performance!
3:10 California Über Alles (Jam)
What a wall of sound combing from three dudes. Good trios always trip me out when the pull that off like here.
Thank you Jim for posting. It's so enjoyable when it's late and you find something like this. Amazing. The band..Chad wherever you are- you were DA bomb. Chops, chops & chops all over the place. What a great testament for the band. So wonderful when you hear a great band just crushing it.

I have fond memories of that club. Back when Far was still together.
Far is such an underrated band. IMO they defined the sacto sound. Love me some deftones too though. Cattle Club RIP
I remember seeing them on saturday night live for first time. Changed rock forever, thank God!!!
Not sure how I've missed this....but it is one of the best live vids of all time. 👍
Excellent live set from an excellent live band. They struck the perfect balance of nailing the tone they wanted, great musicianship, awesome song writing, and wild abandon raw energy. Awesome!
Love to see Kurt sing and play The guitar he could play The guitar like no one else ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🧍♂️
Wow! Kurt must've been about 23 years old here. So young to have his tone and sound so dialed in!
voice tone ' u mean?
To think when this concert filmed Nirvana was soon ganna be a big-time band !
I can't thank you enough for this. It's this kind of footage that is Kurt's true legacy. Forget any circumstance surrounding his tragic passing and remember his passionate life as pure bad ass.
Fucking hell!
Kurt's voice on negative creep is absolutely amazing, mind blowing.
That's the best vocal performance of that song I've ever heard him do.
Feel so blessed to see this footage after being a fan from the UK for 26 years (10 yr old).
Thanks
So awesome
I played this club in 1990. We followed a band that only wore underwear and rolled around on broken glass.
What was your band?
@@marcuseviltree6304 "Saigon Strip"
We were from Stockton.
Later called Bo Jangels. Played there as well… 🤘
@@216trixie gotcha.
The vocals are stellar on this entire set.
As usual
Agreed. I’d say Kurt’s vocals were in their prime during 89/90
Just incredible
@@jtballnuts EVERYTHING was prime, pre-Courtney.
What a great time to live in Sacto.
The city had such a great vibe back then.
I saw so many great shows at the Cattle Club.
I drove by it a few years back, and I was kinda sad to see it boarded up.
This is pure music gold! Thanks for sharing.
Yes Dead Kennedy's.
Brilliant footage!!
F jello, guys a govt bootlicker. Dave Grohl too.
@@TheUnholyPosole I heard that.
@@TheUnholyPosole You are?
I'm 44 too !! 1995 graduate from vevay indiana. Yes we were all lucky. I remember hearing Teen spirit and thought wow this is too heavy for mainstream radio. The world was changing. A year later Metallica The black album.
@@TheUnholyPosole screw any band that plays vaccine only shows! Pathetic government shills!
Великолепное выступление, Курт в отличной форме)
И звук, и изображение, и эмоции порадовали

Wow, this is insanely good. Sound is excellent. A gem of a recording just before Nirvana goes massive. "School" is a standout.
A year and a half before they go huge. Sappy here is a nice addition
"School" слишком похож на типичную рок песню для рекламы мужского парфюма.
Thank you Taper Jim
Always love hearing Sappy
Thanks for these treasure Man!!!!!!!
Chad's kicking out the drums
Cattle Club was the place to be back then! Thank you, Jerry Perry!
I loved playing that place, the abuse from Jerry was the best!
A special club lost to time.
Totally dig the Polly “version”.. just awesome.
Yeah, a similar rendition is on Spotify in incesticide called “new wave Polly” 👍
You probably already know that though
Nah Polly is an acoustic song now
This is awesome footage.. thanks for sharing this with us!!🎸🎶
the power of Chad Channing❤
raw and heavy, what a voice
I saw them 2 days later totally on accident because they were playing at a tiny record store in San Francisco. It was so loud you really couldn't hear the drums!
Oh my gawd so lucky! We are inspired by them
This version of School is probably my favorite I've heard, they sounded so on point.
better than the reading festival?!!!!
I was born a couple years too late and a couple thousand miles too far away. Thank you to all the lucky SOBs that did get to see this live and supported it so it would find me eventually. RIP Kurt, Chris, Layne, Mark, Andy, et. al
Freakin' amazing!!! Thank you for the upload! I love this, Nirvana playing before big fame and big stages for the sake of doing what they love!!!!
What gets overlooked(not always but sometimes) is how great of a singer he was. Of course he had no training or anything like that, but had a natural ear for tone, melody, pitch and delivery. Pair that with this wall of sound and it must have been pretty cool see live. He died when I was 15 so I never got the chance :(
Luckily I got to go see them when I was 15, had to beg my mom and at first she said no but changed her mind. I am glad she did because he died a few months later. It's weird how many things I have forgotten over my life but that show remains pretty vivid in my head almost 30 years later
I don’t really think that is overlooked at all. His voice was the defining element of the band. And they were the biggest band in the world for a brief period, more or less.
I'm probably like 4 years older than you. It was a competition back then, well not really a competition. But so many cool bands, influencing other. I mean look at Seattle. They were underground back then, cool local scene. But Pearl Jam had a monster singer, as well as AIC and Soundgarden. But there was a lot of cool music elsewhere. Metallica was metal, but cool. Slayer, etc.. awesome bands everywhere.
You had chances but you blew them. Unless you live in middle east or somewhere. Kurt died when i was 3.

Born in 88, I still remember being a boy and listening to my dad sing along to the Nevermind album while driving through Belgium. Respectfully love to play anything nirvana on the guitar to this day.
You remember being 3 and hearing music ?
@@barrymoore7445 never said what age I was when that memory took place, I just said I was born in 88. It was 95 btw. ;)
Thank you from Denmark! 30 years... damn it, time's passing by to fast!
Yeah the audio is pretty fucking good for a video from 1990. Great song selection from 1990 as well. Thanks for putting this up.
Die hard Nirvana fans will probably disagree but what amazes me is at the start of the gig there's just this crazy frenetic guy on stage letting out all this uncontrollable noise like an unstable ball of energy then out of nowhere at 13:33 he casually drops a tune that is right up there with any of the earlier Beatles material - had Lennon/ McCartney penned it would have certainly been released as a single. A simple but beautifully crafted near perfect melody on a par with any of the great contemporary songs in any genre.
Cobain's 'mainstream pop' songwriting ability that saturated Nevermind is on a level with Lennon/McCartney, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Kate Bush whoever you can think of as a crossover musical genius... That he successfully expressed this songwriting ability authentically through raw punk makes him a musical genius in my book but must have also made him terribly lonely.
No one in his genre was anywhere near his level as a songwriter and it almost seems like he felt guilty for this massive talent. It's sad he didn't seem to enjoy the beauty he created but he is undeniably one of the very best to do it.
Oh my goddd, his vocals on About A Girl are AMAZING!! So close to the album version.
Wow! Brings back memories! Thanks Jerry!
This audio is incredible! What a treasure!!
So great !! The guitar took a second to work 😂
I wasn’t a Nirvana fan, but it’s so cool seeing a band right on the verge of stardom.
Little before the verge
Especially them. Very few bands reached that level of success, ESPECIALLY that quickly.
@@karalyncarlton6151 how long you think ? 8 months ish ?
@@frisbeeshawn5356 about a year and a half
Yeah....you look more like a boy band fan.
They were so happy to play
