      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.

      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. She told us about how during the Cold War era, and the Cuban missile crisis, people thought the soviets were gonna nuke us (I live in Rhode Island USA btw) and they thought the world was gonna end litterally...scary time but interesting. My favorite era in history.

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.

    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."

      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 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".

    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.

    I love that Krist isn’t wearing shoes during most live performances.

    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

      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 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.
