I think the two things that make this song better live than in the recording are the tuning and the drumming. In the recording everything is tuned down to D, but live (in this version) it is Eb which is only semitone higher, but it forces Kurt to scream more intensely, which is magnificent. In the recording he sings a casual "yeah", but here he screams it! And with the drumming, in the recording during the Pre-Chorus (the "yeah" bit) Dave just taps the centre of the ride cymbal like in the verse, but live he smashes the edge of the ride making it sound like a crash every beat. It really improves the intensity and makes the whole song feel much bigger. Kurt, Krist and Dave were/are very talented musicians :)

this version also has pat smear on guitar two playing harmonies with kurt, which is why the refrains/breakdown sound fat as hell
camhux Yeah, Pat's super overdriven guitar adds immensily to the sound
Right on the money, my thoughts exactly
I miss this voices in my head.
fu*k missed you kurt..the voice ,the screams,the antics on stage... longlive Kurt cobain!
Hell yeah!
magnifique !
I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday, for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found God
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm so lonely, that's okay, I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay
My will is good
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday, for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found God
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
