RebelThoughts82 ThinkSmallOrBig Yea i can agree that as a stage musician. Me and my band were afraid to put up the volume since it would effect us. But in the first song it was so quiet i stopped the song and put the master volume up.
this performance makes lithium a 10/10 for me everything that was good about lithium in the nevermind version becomes a greater version than its studio version

My freshman year in HS (last year lol) science teacher is 68, 69 now I guess lol but she's shared so many stories from the Cold War era and we ask her about bands and whatnot and she remembers The Beatles (when she was a teenager) and Nirvana, but she was an adult during Nirvana's era so she didn't really listen to them but she remembered all the hype. Pretty cool.

Hes a monster and was just simply and happily overshadowed by 2 generational talents. This guy in the 90s was almost 7 foot tall, a giant man with huge hands and a big heart and personality and those characteristics shone through his playing, which is basically unmistakable like his bandmates.
It'd be a beautiful thing if I had been there, beautiful music surrounding my soul, shaking my core, as we sing like a family. Sadly I wasn't born yet lol
TALKINGtac0 yeah i no what your saying, how ever i was born in 1990 tho so i was alive but far form old enough to going to a show lol didnt even know of nirvana till i was like 10 or so maybe older, how ever i do remember when i was small there was this song that was always on the radio and i loved the opening riff and it stuck with me forever untill i was older and my buddy came over and was playing my guitar that i barely could play at the time and played smells like teen spirit riff and i was like "WAIT.... WAIT.... what song is that! " and hes like smells like teen spirit by nirvana and that was the start of it aoways new there was this dope band out there and i loved that sound and riff but couldnt figure out who it was or the song name untill he played it fell in love with the band almost immediately
+CHUCKYLOSTIT Nirvana has the power to change many people's lives in many different ways. Few bands can do that. It changed my life. Before, I just listened to and played music (I only played piano) to relax, and move on to another world for a little while. But when I heard Nirvana, evertthing changed. They inspired me to play the guitar, the first full song of theirs that I played was Lithium. I also began to consider music as a possible career. I started taking my guitar to school, playin gn at lunch. Now, music was not just a temporary escape. No... now it was a way of life, it took a tenacious grip of my heart. I breathe music now. My past self would not understand what I'm talking about if weren't for Nirvana. Nirvana literally changed my whole life.
Bless you young people. This is my gospel. I'm 38. Kurt is amazing. Go listen to "where to did you sleep last night". His pleading screaming is hauntingly beautiful.
Hearing all them people singing in the background is giving me goosebumps it’s actually incredible and you can tell that year and generation was the best! It was all about the music!
Yes you so do know that you have made it when crowd is singing along with you. Very well put and cheer for band and give it large at the beginning of concert. Maedbh ❤️
@@Kevin-it4fh I was there, as a wide-eyed 17 yr old It was f*cking fab, as i sort-of remember as i was well gone by the time they played. Don't recall any Porto-shitter incidents though lol....
Right there. Right fucking there. When the whole crowd starts singing with Him. That the must be the most euphoric feeling ever. It brings a tear to my eye.
Me too! You should watch green day doing boulevard of broken dreams at reading in 2013. I'm not a fan of green day but the crowd reaction is unbelievable
Anything about this performance is perfect. Drums and bass especially, guitar was quiet, but this lead to perfectly hearing amazing bassline of this song. Only Kurt didn't really feel good that day, but his voacls is still very very good. And the audience perfectly singing along during the beggining and choruses is cherry on top. Best Lithiun performance ever!
I prefer the live performances of Nirvana WAY more than the studio versions. The amount of raw unfiltered energy you can feel from their live performances is unparalleled.
@@BloodEagleOfficiaIkurt would intentionally butcher teen spirits on lives as he hated it bc it was the most "famous" song in the band and would shadow other songs
@@ringo5721 and even in the studio version of the song i agree with kurt, it became repetitive, there is a limited number of times that u can play it until it becomes anoying
@@MARKINAU8 the 90's for me were - raves, concerts, gigs, parties, raves, concerts, gigs, parties, raves, concerts, gigs, parties... and a bit of college!
Agreed. They are timeless. Nirvana has to be spoken in the same sentence as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. They ushered in and defined an era (whether they wanted to or not)
Beautiful performance. The crowd singing along, and for a hard rock song, it's done very elegantly, smoothly, and leaves a lasting impact and legacy; think whatever you want, but Nirvana are legends. The music plays on and on, forever. "I'm so happy, cause today I found my friends, they're in my head."
I love when a crowd sings along, must be the best feeling ever for a band to hear the appreciation and passion sung back to them, NIRVANA are forever. Yeeaaaaah yeeeaaaaaaahh
Probably didn't get much though, Courtney love probably took 90 percent of his pay too (you may understand the joke if you're informed on the royalty bullshit she pulled on Nevermind)
I love the fact that he didn't stop singing or did that douchey move of pointing the microphone at the audience just because they started to sing the lyrics
Krist is vastly underrated. Totally agree, really great, hooky basslines. Melodic, almost beatle-esque. Kurt and eventually Dave Grohl were more popular, but he was key in that band. Apparently he was the one who came up with the final Teen Spirit arrangement when Kurt brought the riff to rehearsal (all of them co-wrote the track).
This has got to be the ONLY live Nirvana video out there where you can actually hear the crowd singing along! This is amazing! Really makes it feel like you’re there
You can kinda hear the audience in his performance of Teen Spirit in the same show which makes sense considering it’s his most popular song. I think the distorted guitar and the intensity drowns a lot of it out
I'm so happy because today I've found my friends They're in my head I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you We've broken 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 I'm so lonely but 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 But I don't care I'm so horny but that's okay My will is good 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've 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
This band singlehandedly kept actual, good rock music afloat from the mid 90's until today. As a rock listener, their albums have been unusually solid with an amazing 1-3 hits per release. They did great guitar and drum music during the shitty late 90's modern rock era, the shitty Metallica 2000's, mallcore and Nu Metal garbage, and up to this day. You have bands like the Killers and Black Keys taking up their own reigns in the genre, but Nirvana have created a seamless blend of punk roots, 90's indie rock and early 80's Nirvana successfully created a kingdom for themselves that defined a generation of guitar music that I'd feel proud to expose my kid to. Dave was and still incredibly under-rated. -Thanks nirvana, I wish you were still here.
In 8th grade at a Catholic school a few friends & I convinced the school to do a talent show. They made us call this song Happy instead of Lithium. They tried stopping us on the "I kill you" line but it was sure fun watching a few nuns trying to stop the feedback in a gym when I walked off with the guitar leaning on the amp. We had to turn in lyrics prior but I'm pretty sure they didn't read past "cause I found god".
This was the very 1st time I had seen or heard anything by Nirvana and it gave me the shivers!! - From that moment on I was hooked for life!. I went straight out and bought "bleach" and "never mind" and gave away most of the "indie" album's I realized a had been polluting my ears and my hi-fi with!! R.I.P. Kurt ur music changed a lot of lives and you will always be missed
I got massive goosebumps when I watched this for first time on that "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!" VHS tape all those years ago. I still get massive goosebumps as I'm watching it now. I can only imagine how it feels like to be in the crowd and singing along with Nirvana.
Kurt Asa Yeah I notice it, it's because for nevermind the tune was standard and Kurt decided to low the tune to be because that way he don't get that tired
I fucking love this version! I suffer from bipolar disorder and I discovered this song 10 years ago, in fact I wanted to know the medication they prescribed me (lithium carbonate) and I accidentally came across the song. This song is an anthem of resistance on my worst days. ❤
Cuando conocí SLTS fue una revelación, sabia que un nuevo tipo de música iba a explotar y llegó Nirvana, que grupazo, el mejor de todos Kurt es mi gran ídolo, en 1991 tenia 17 años; sus letras decían lo que siento en mi interior; mis vecinos odiaban eso porque tenía unas bocinas muy grandes y le subía todo el volumen, era como una terapia para no destruirme a mi mismo.
Lithium is the perfect song to start off the day.

It had been playing since like 30 seconds in you just couldn't hear it.
@@variklane7032 not in any substantial way.
*This song is forever. If you're a fan of this song, you'll never forget it*
I just love how the entire crowd is singing along. This is heartwarming
I love that you can hear the bass pretty well. Krist is an amazing bassist!
YEEEEEEAHHHHH YEAHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH YEAH YEAHHHHHHHHHH YEAH YEAHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH
YEAH
This performance of Lithium is fxcking PERFECTION!!!!! Their live show is amazing
So cool that Anthony Kiedis joined in to dance on stage
it makes me smile when the audience sings along with Kurt i have the brightest smile hearing everyone singing along with him :)))))))
Baseline rocks....props to krist its always the understated guy who really is the glue of the band....
I like the live version better than the studio version. Anyone else?
if its nirvana ... live is always the way to go !!
I like the live version better too
For me it is the best show they did and the best version of this music.
Krist on bass sounds unreal on this performance, I love the tone so much
When you get to a gig by the skin of your teeth, this was one of them. That's a story in itself. So glad I saw Nirvana live.
Nirvana should have made that dancing guy an official member of the band lol
He is. Dancing Tony is a Nirvana member
Its a girl actually
he is the one who wrote all of their songs
@@fanceapa6355 true
@@LiamgamingYT It's a guy
I love how the crowd sings along
The way the crowd roars in pure enjoyment is uplifting for any nirvana fan even through a screen legends man ❤️
I grew up listening to Nirvana and it changed my whole thought process... It made me a better person. I found meaning in it.
i love how the crowd just starts singing along with kurt that was amazing
This video quality is still good in 2016.
ikr
It's remastered.
They put visual effects to make it look MUCH better
it does, but live at the Paramount is still the best looking nirvana concert
Mostly in comparison to the autotune and lipsinging of today
я плачу, это настолько круто, потрясающая атмосфера, обожаю фанов нирваны, это было прекрасно, то как они подпевали....
The crowd was so lit! Definitely the best lithium live performance
MTV VMAs are a close second
For me, this 4 minutes and 27 seconds of sound was the best ever produced.
You've clearly never heard "lucky charms" by biz markie then
+Captain Doob he literally said "for me"
"can't wait to meet you there..." We feel the same way, Kurt.
Thanks to the film maker, uploader & RUclips for me being able to watch this as if I’m really there.
I just had an eargasm at the beginning
That intro sounds so clean and mellow
I love it 😍🎸
Can't believe how amazing this is wtf
I was born 1991 and I love Nirvana. Now it's 2016 I'm still listening to it. And gonna die listening to Nirvana.
In 8th grade at a Catholic school a few friends & I convinced the school to do a talent show. They made us call this song Happy instead of Lithium. They tried stopping us on the "I kill you" line but it was sure fun watching a few nuns trying to stop the feedback in a gym when I walked off with the guitar leaning on the amp. We had to turn in lyrics prior but I'm pretty sure they didn't read past "cause I found god".
That’s awesome, Any video of the performance?
@@aggy_m Not that I know of. That was over 25yrs ago before everyone had a camera on their phone.
The most significant rock band of the 90’s, but you already knew that ❤️
Reason why we need time machines
o M absolutely man
youtube is a time machine
We're currently building it, man. We all gonna go back time.
when i get a time machine that concert is the first thing i visit
o M if I had a time machine I'd stop Courtney love from killing him
I had a dream last night about being at a nirvana concert. It was pretty fucking cool listening to school in a dream
I don’t think any of them expected the crowd to sing along like that. It was such a beautiful moment, I cry every time 🥺
I know Dave always did. He says it now, its his best part of a show when the crowd sings the songs. And I feel he really means it.
25 years since you left.
I never met you, but I miss you so much.
You changed my life Kurt Cobain.
Rest In Peace 😭❤💕😚
Aww cute 😘
@@luisr.6543 Thank you😊
"You changed my life"
¿¿??¿¿?¿??¿¿??
Can we meet?
@@ezequielroris8963 What?
Thank you Kurt for all your good music we will always remember you...
This was the very 1st time I had seen or heard anything by Nirvana and it gave me the shivers!! - From that moment on I was hooked for life!. I went straight out and bought "bleach" and "never mind" and gave away most of the "indie" album's I realized a had been polluting my ears and my hi-fi with!! R.I.P. Kurt ur music changed a lot of lives and you will always be missed
I got massive goosebumps when I watched this for first time on that "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!" VHS tape all those years ago. I still get massive goosebumps as I'm watching it now. I can only imagine how it feels like to be in the crowd and singing along with Nirvana.
The guy in the middle is absolutely going nuts.
I love it.
I love that Krist isn’t wearing shoes during most live performances.
Tf r u talkin 'bout?
His feet were too big.
Everyone singing along; the voice of our generation. Thanks for the music, Kurt.
Hands down the best gig nirvana played. And given that nirvana were probably the best band ever this is very likely the greatest gig in history.
I love how Kurt pretty much re learned half of the songs from this set 5 seconds before he started the song lol
Stewart Ross Same dude!
Because the tune of the guitar?
Because he practices the riff before each song.
Kurt Asa Yeah I notice it, it's because for nevermind the tune was standard and Kurt decided to low the tune to be because that way he don't get that tired
In Nevermind it was mostly E. Come As You Are, Lithium, and Drain you were in D standard. On a Plain was Drop D.
I love how the whole crowd is singing to this!
love how he always switches the strumming patterns
I fucking love this version! I suffer from bipolar disorder and I discovered this song 10 years ago, in fact I wanted to know the medication they prescribed me (lithium carbonate) and I accidentally came across the song. This song is an anthem of resistance on my worst days. ❤
Cuando conocí SLTS fue una revelación, sabia que un nuevo tipo de música iba a explotar y llegó Nirvana, que grupazo, el mejor de todos Kurt es mi gran ídolo, en 1991 tenia 17 años; sus letras decían lo que siento en mi interior; mis vecinos odiaban eso porque tenía unas bocinas muy grandes y le subía todo el volumen, era como una terapia para no destruirme a mi mismo.
