    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.

      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
