Not to be a smart ass, but I think this is the club PA, with the club soundman - this is way before Kurt could afford something like his own engineer live
The part when he screams "You're in high school again" is bone chilling. The scream on the album is already really awesome and Kurt decided to make it even more awesome.
Where this is from? This quality is just amazing. This must be the original (recorder's) tape. Video is so clear and clean. I ADDED my ~27y old VHS-3gen copy here 5th of April '24. I knew this was surely here somewhere but I wanted away that eternal 'should be do"‐attitude. And it is... very "VHS". Now I know there's missing over 10mins. I thought it was full and very short gig. Wrong.
Yes, I personally want to thank that person. I believe nirvana is in New York for over a month during this time.I got to see them play one of the shows at the pyramid. It’s one of the places me and my friends used to hang out. there was also a bar down the street called the Alcatraz.
Kurt seriously wrote some of the sickest riffs, and his progressions were fucking perfectly put together and on top of that his vocal harmonies fit those riffs perfectly. He really was an amazing song writer. I don't care if some of his riffs are "easy to play" which, in my opinion every single band of ever has riffs that are easy to play. Some are more technical for sure but every song has a root and those are usually fairly easy to play. It's writing them that's hard and then doing it over and over again. Massive respect to Kurt and Nirvana. Krist is really a very very good bassist. He came up with some amazing lines to Kurt's songs. Lithium and lounge act are my personal favorites by Krist.
So in love with this era of Nirvana. They were so amazing. This energy, makes me want to pick up my guitar and also sing and play. It drives me. It drives me so crazy. Fuels me to finish my songs. The rage and anger, anger is such a gift. 89 and early 90 Nirvana was the best. Nothing compares to it later on.
I love all of Nirvanas eras. I can't even pick a "favorite" Nirvana record because it just depends on my mood at any particular time. Same with their eras. I think they were fantastic all throughout 1989-1994 all in different ways. I will say that I think In Utero was their most evolved album but I tend to listen to Nevermind the most. Era wise I'd say Reading Festival 1991 was pretty damn great. Right before they blew up and Kurt was truly on fire.
*HISTORY IS BEING MADE AND I'M TRYING TO GET THE BARTENDER'S ATTENTION* A fleeting moment. A snap shot. Just another bar band. Just another show. $100 and free beer. An original song with, what? 15 words? 🤣 People in the club screaming in each other's ears because what they have to say is much more important than a no-name band from Aberdeen. "I can't even hear what he's saying... Something about high school?" But they stood on the cusp of graduation. And life was getting ready to hit hard, as it does. Now, two decades later there are millions of us watching a video that could have been lost to obscurity; nodding our heads and whisper/yelling "NO RECESS!" like it's the most meaningful thing we've ever heard. And, who knows? Maybe it is. All work and no play makes us all burn out and fade away. Dammit, Kurt, we miss you, man. We could really use your twisted wisdom right now. You didn't want to be a spokesman for a generation. You didn't want to be our John Lennon. You didn't want to be a martyr. You didn't want greatness thrust upon you. But we really needed someone. I'm sorry it had to be you. But... "Won't you believe it, It's just [your] luck?"
Everyone should just sit back and appreciate the fact that there was a time when some of the most popular musical artists had no desire to be main stream. They didn’t make sure to update social media pages, they weren’t trying to be influencers, they didn’t use every single form of media to personally promote themselves, they weren’t brand ambassadors for expensive bougie clothing companies that most of the masses couldn’t even afford. There was a time when some of the most popular artists of music we’re just kids that found an outlet for expression and the rest of the world was intrigued
Definitely wouldn’t describe Nirvana as “no desire to be mainstream” nor would I agree there was ever a time period where that was the norm. How you get there has changed a lot for sure over the years, but if you don’t think the Beatles would be doing all the things you mentioned in today’s age you have no clue what you’re talking about. Not any bands fault that’s how the game is played in the modern age
@@derekhibbard9018 That’s not really even the point of my comment dude. I’m just trying to have a fun recollection of a bygone time. But if you need to play devils advocate, go for it. Even when they were at the height of their popularity they hated interviews or any kind of promotion, they still did it because they knew it was important but it doesn’t mean that they enjoyed it. They didn’t spend their time concerned about how to get the most followers. They didn’t promote brands or have MTV filming them having some lavish rockstar life. It’s just an attitude that most artists don’t embrace anymore that’s all I’m saying. Didn’t say whether it was good or bad, just saying it was an intriguing difference.
I so love the bleach era Nirvana. Kurt had so much power and energy. You could see by 1993 1994 he was burnt out by the pressure and fame. I wish he stuck around and went on to be a solo artist like he had talked about.
I remember back in 2006, it took me quite a long time (more than a day) to download this concert in DVD format from a little known torrent site for underground bootleg videos. I was so excited and could hardly wait until the download was finished and watched it over and over. Back then I really thought, that I own something rare and special, that only diehard Nirvana fans have watched. Nowadays, as I can see, all these rare, precious early Nirvana gigs are on RUclips, just a click away.. How time (and technology) changes everything..: )
back in the day you used to have to track down some shady guy and he would sell you a cassette that had been ripped off of a soundboard at some live show and barely mixed. from there it was all your imagination to even discern what song was being played. you're right.. still amazing to feel like you had something noone else did.
My record shop during high school in the 90’s had this glass display case in the back of the store. There were a lot of bootleg VHS tapes of rock shows. Ranging from $40 and up. That was a ton of money for 90’s kids.
Yea like in the 90s early 2000's when you could buy rare albums from the back pages of guitar world,metal edge magizines for like $50-$80 and now they are just at the tip of your fingers basically free damn man that hits hard in some unspeakable way.
Another Nirvana surprise, they just keep coming. The one thing I always remember from this show is that drunk asshole during Floyd, Kurt lost his temper and rightly so. Oh, and this was Jason Evermans last show in the band. Thanks a lot LiveNirvana!
@@devonjones5200 Not any known sources. There are three songs missing from this source though, Spank, paper and negative creep, so hopefully a full show will surface, but I would not get my hope up.
Nirvana kinda used him, he had a job and paid for the recording of bleach. To kinda make him feel like part of the band kurt used a photo from this tour as the cover and put everman on the credits even though everman was never on the album and after this tour kicked him out
He wasn’t though. All the songs were already written and Kurt wanted someone to fill out live shows. Where Jason really helped was he paid $500 for the band to record this little album called Bleach. He only lasted about a year before Kurt told him to get lost, then he played Bass for Soundgarden for a bit before Chris did the same and kicked him out. Apparently he was outspoken and wanted to write and be big parts of each band.. they wanted live players that’s it. He’d have had better luck starting his own band but I don’t think he could write music well. Who knows.
He played with the band for longer than Dave did. In Dave's Hall of fame speech, he talks about how much of an influence Chad had on the band. He made most of the Nevermind drum tracks.
I guess Seattle clubs wasn`t very strict about people bringing cameras to concerts? Idk. I do remember how bad bootleggers was treated by both the audience, security, club owners and the bands. When Axl beat up a guy with a camera back in 1989 is one example of that. But today we love those guys. Weird how things change isn`t it? :D
Correction. They started as a 3 piece from 87 to 89....hired everman so he would pay for bleach, did one tour with everman, booted him at the end of tour, remaind a 3 piece until the inutero tour in late 93 when they hired pat
@@MrJvnorth I don’t find it that hard to believe myself. His life went in a different direction completely. But he can always say he was in Nirvana and played with Cobain. No one can ever take that away from him! Also, I heard that he paid for the recording of Bleach $600! If that’s true then he even financed the beginning of the band. And I don’t think paid him back ever either. They were too broke at the time to do that. Now it would cool if someone paid him back and even added some interest to it. Don’t you think that would be fair? I know life isn’t fair but sometimes it’s good to see some Poetic Justice done. Like Pete Best, who was kicked out of the Beatles, was finally paid a piece of the Beatles fortune for his drumming on Anthology 1. At least $250 Grand, if not more. Which is a good chunk of money anytime. I like to see people get paid, especially musicians, because they usually get ripped off. What’s your view? 👏🏻🎸😎
One of the best early shows and featuring Jason Everman. Never forget he paid $600 to Produce Bleach. You think they ever paid him back? I doubt it. But he helped Bleach get recorded so that’s important. Great Early Show! Thanks for making it available! It’s like a time capsule looking back. Amazing!
Yeah, and I much prefer seeing him over there headbanging and being into it than later lineups. The more I see of these old videos the more I straight up prefer this era to any other.
@@DamageInc86 Its the only video I’ve seen of him playing in Nirvana. I didn’t think any video existed. Then he went into the military and a completely different direction.
A very “bleachified” early version of Polly that I’d never heard before. The one on “muddy banks” is similar but this one is awesome too. Killer footage Thanks for uploading this. Proof that Nirvana were very punk rock in their beginnings….
It's funny how life goes by, I remember being on the bus to high-school when it was announced on the radio he was gone. His music spoke to us in way that is indescribable back then. It's still indescribable, now I'm on a journey to being an old man but I find myself listening to Nirvana on the RUclips and re living old memories.
I was on the bus heading home from school and the radio was playing. I could just make out the announcement over all the noise but I heard correctly. I will never forget that moment. I still feel like life stopped for many of our generation from that moment. I came from a logging town like Kurt did and can identify with some similar childhood struggles as well. 43 now, been listening to Nirvana more than ever recently. Man I miss those guys
5:57 i feel bad for krist you could tell he was trying to handle the situation lightly you can see it in his face "come on man don't touch my bass" then kurt comes flying in faster than a bird hitting a windshield
I think he grew as a guitarist, but in a 3 piece you gotta play your ass off to fill up the space. Way more enjoyable performance for Kurt, i suppose, if he is not so distracted. And Pat knows how to frame a song. Much respect.
@another pizza Would love to know the full story on this one. Jason was sadly kicked out...of the whole band, he put the most effort into kicking that drunk dude's ass!
Playing New York was a big deal for these guys at the time I am sure. If you have ever been to Aberdeen you would know, this is as big as it gets. 2 years from this show, they will be the biggest band in the world.
This is fucking amazing, thanks for sharing and upgrading this video!!! Loved seeing Krist using his ass to get that guy off stage....then Kurt's finally like "fuck it"....then Jason jumping off the stage after him...Rock and fucking Roll!!!!!!!!
@@benjaminfowler4513Army Ranger & Green Beret aka a fuckin legendary badass..Who can say they played in 2 legendary bands like Nirvana & Soundgarden, and went on to be a member of not one but two elite special forces units 😂
He added something, didn't he? This is a pretty different band from the one that recorded Nevermind. But it has it's own brutal charm. Looser, but incredibly powerful at times too.
@@mr.chocolatehazelnutspread8317 do you know them as a person?I justt read Come as you are and according to that theey were preetty asssholes sometimes.
Each LP was perfect. Bleach was the prefect sound of the time, Nevermind was new, the future, and In Utero was an amalgam, but with hints of what would have been soon to come when he and Stipe got together, or at least that’s how I hear it.
The reckless freedom of early Nirvana is so special. Kinda like punk with better musicianship and much better vocals...Man that voice was raw and powerful ⚡
Here in 2021on mine(38th)and Kurt’ birthday 02-20-83 and 02-20-67- I have been a fan since I was 8 in 1991 - wow 30 years gone by fast- I had the fender Cobain signature jag stang guitar(blue)and started playing because of Nirvana. I spent my high school days locked away perfecting all things nirvana and oasis. I can play every Nirvana song still to this day.
I'm still looking for for the Dec 4th 1993 Uno Lakefront recording. Its the Holy Grail to me, because my dad took me to the show for my 13th birthday. I know the audio is available, and the Breeders and Shonen Knife video's are out, so surely, hopefully,....... Please help! This has been a struggle and a journey.
I was at the UNO Lakefront show too. I'm from the Northshore. That still ranks as my all time favorite concert- they were SO ON!!! And they played damn near EVERYTHING! Someone used to have the audio from that show up on RUclips a few years ago because I listened to it. I've not been able to find it lately either but it's out there. Cheers P[>
This time of history seems insane to me, I can’t even imagine what daily life was like, seing Kurt just living on that video coming out of a completely different time is so wird (I don’t have words)
Thanks for remastering this concert. It was unwatchable with the original source. Btw could anyone understand what Krist mumbled in the mic at the end of the show?
Now that is what I'm talking about. Traveling through time and back as much as you like I reckon unless there's rules of the universe that forbid you to.repeatly visit your own pass. Something like one could cause a great Paradox and alter everybody and every everyone's own reality destiny and Fate would be completely altered Yikes. Gosh I would really hate to be that Guy. You dig?
RUclips = closest thing to time traveling. I feel like I'm there back in 89' watching this. I physical could have been there ... but I was 2 years old at the time. It would have been hard to understand just what I was seeing ... too where now I know
This concert was during my senior year didn't even know Nirvana existed!😵 Thank God I didn't miss too many years... Miss you Kurt... 😇 Thank You for all the Music You Left Us With!🎸🎶
i love this era of nirvana, they have a lot of energy compared to the in utero era, that second guitar feels powerful and makes them sound even better.
how is it humanly possible to scream like this for an hour without losing voice, man what a gift! I wish I could scream like this for 30 seconds ahhhh what a show!!
He's not screaming he is distorting his voice. It's a trick with your voice and breath control. If he was screaming he wouldn't get through a full set.
oh boy, it's finally here. i had a chance to go to this show and turned it down! i've been kicking myself ever since. in my defense, i had only heard love buzz and about a girl at that point and love buzz IMO is a lousy tune lol! my two best friends were in attendance though and i was 3 or 4 blocks away in my apartment...
It's like every song was Helter Skelter kicked up up a notch or any other great Beatles song. Which is why this band despite it's short life touched so many. They had that "magic".
I remember the sad choices at the time. I say this not knowing at the time that the choices were sad. Plasticky pop music, over produced hair metal, top heavy and pretentious Metallica and megadeth. GNR had been a revelation, but they were spun out too. Then came this raw, tender and perfectly written music. Simple in delivery and profound with feeling.

That drunk guy can proudly say nirvana kicked his ass!
Me too#!
@@jasonsantos8386 He was legend though.
Yeah but because of him we missed the guitar solo in Floyd the Barber
You could tell how much Kurt enjoyed playing at this point; he is so energetic on stage... compare this to any 1992-1994 shows.
Agree, and he was more healthy also. By 1992 he was pretty fucked, the shows between 1989 and 1991 are full of energy.
Looks the same as always
His voice had more power to it as well.
I know.. it’s crazy.
He was young (22 yrs), full of energy and rage. This was the best Kurt Cobain ever, so powerful.
That reverb on Kurt's mic for no recess is amazingly done, the benefits of having your own engineer
Yeah sounds epic.
Not to be a smart ass, but I think this is the club PA, with the club soundman - this is way before Kurt could afford something like his own engineer live
I installed that system, all TurboSound. I was house sound but didn't mix this show, my buddy Doc was 2nd sound engineer, he must have mixed this one.
The part when he screams "You're in high school again" is bone chilling. The scream on the album is already really awesome and Kurt decided to make it even more awesome.
It’s called plug in and play lol

They’ll never make it, hair metal is here to stay :((
They may go somewhere
Dziękuję za materiał..
Pozdrawiam z Polski.
1989! This is so early and it’s rare to see Jason Everman with them! They were a four piece in the beginning.
kurt said he always imagined Nirvana as a four piece; it's why he hired Pat to play with them
Correction. They started as a 3 piece from 87 to 89....hired everman so he would pay for bleach, did one tour with everman, booted him at the end of tour, remaind a 3 piece until the inutero tour in late 93 when they hired pat
Your right. He was hired to play live like pat smear.
Hard to believe Everman would become a decorated special forces operator in the Army.
@@MrJvnorth I don’t find it that hard to believe myself. His life went in a different direction completely.
But he can always say he was in Nirvana and played with Cobain. No one can ever take that away from him!
Also, I heard that he paid for the recording of Bleach $600! If that’s true then he even financed the beginning of the band. And I don’t think paid him back ever either. They were too broke at the time to do that.
Now it would cool if someone paid him back and even added some interest to it. Don’t you think that would be fair?
I know life isn’t fair but sometimes it’s good to see some Poetic Justice done.
Like Pete Best, who was kicked out of the Beatles, was finally paid a piece of the Beatles fortune for his drumming on Anthology 1.
At least $250 Grand, if not more. Which is a good chunk of money anytime.
I like to see people get paid, especially musicians, because they usually get ripped off.
What’s your view?
👏🏻🎸😎
School is one of my favorite songs from Nirvana. I'm not sure why. It's a very plain song with like 5 words, but it melts my face every time.
Definitely for me too
One of the best early shows and featuring Jason Everman. Never forget he paid $600 to Produce Bleach. You think they ever paid him back? I doubt it. But he helped Bleach get recorded so that’s important.
Great Early Show! Thanks for making it available! It’s like a time capsule looking back. Amazing!
Yeah, and I much prefer seeing him over there headbanging and being into it than later lineups. The more I see of these old videos the more I straight up prefer this era to any other.
@@DamageInc86 Its the only video I’ve seen of him playing in Nirvana. I didn’t think any video existed. Then he went into the military and a completely different direction.
@@dynjarren8355 I feel like ive seen another one. But yeah, probably pretty rare since he left soon after.
@@dynjarren8355he was in several others including the record store ones also he was in soundgarden after this before military.
He got to tour with sound grade too that's pretty sweet
You could tell Everman was a badass...the way he reacted with the drunk....future special forces and war veteran!
2020 ain't that bad..year of Nirvana comeback..interviews hd shows damn yeah
Well, I recently discovered this group, so yeah, not that bad: ruclips.net/video/0B4Nn9_9YHg/видео.html&start_radio=1
Nirvana is the last biggest band !
@@retrospiel You’d like Angus and Julia Stone.
Best concert ever wish i was there.
I've always loved this rock version of Polly! Amazing concert.
It's not the rock version, it's the song, Polly. Anything else is a version of this.
@@bobbymariani2839 BORINGGGGGGGGG
True
@@bobbymariani2839it’s called polly(new wave ) the normal Polly is in never mind Polly (new wave) is in insecticide
A very “bleachified” early version of Polly that I’d never heard before. The one on “muddy banks” is similar but this one is awesome too. Killer footage Thanks for uploading this. Proof that Nirvana were very punk rock in their beginnings….
"big wave" Polly.. definitely my favorite
This version of Polly is absolutely amazing.
All I can say is FUCK YEAH over and over again watching this
The delay in Kurt's vocals mic is sick as hell!!!
It's funny how life goes by, I remember being on the bus to high-school when it was announced on the radio he was gone. His music spoke to us in way that is indescribable back then. It's still indescribable, now I'm on a journey to being an old man but I find myself listening to Nirvana on the RUclips and re living old memories.
I was on the bus heading home from school and the radio was playing. I could just make out the announcement over all the noise but I heard correctly. I will never forget that moment. I still feel like life stopped for many of our generation from that moment. I came from a logging town like Kurt did and can identify with some similar childhood struggles as well. 43 now, been listening to Nirvana more than ever recently. Man I miss those guys
5:57 i feel bad for krist you could tell he was trying to handle the situation lightly you can see it in his face "come on man don't touch my bass" then kurt comes flying in faster than a bird hitting a windshield
They sound so much better live with 2 guitars
I think he grew as a guitarist, but in a 3 piece you gotta play your ass off to fill up the space. Way more enjoyable performance for Kurt, i suppose, if he is not so distracted. And Pat knows how to frame a song. Much respect.
I disagree, but we all have out prefrence.
I was so happy when Pat joined them!!
They should've never fired Jason Everman.. I think he was a better fit than Pat
I disagree. I found it too noisy
Man, I wish I would have been in this crowd.
I wasn’t even born tell ‘09!
This is what I call "work of art".
A special moment in time!kurt we miss ya!
We do
Love how they fight some one in the middle of the song and kept playing and finished nice
@another pizza Would love to know the full story on this one. Jason was sadly kicked out...of the whole band, he put the most effort into kicking that drunk dude's ass!
@@awolsurf-TC it is very rare , you can tell he is having a lot of fun
5:11 Nice little cameo from a drunk Eddie Vedder there!
Playing New York was a big deal for these guys at the time I am sure. If you have ever been to Aberdeen you would know, this is as big as it gets. 2 years from this show, they will be the biggest band in the world.
And 5 years from this show, Kurt would do what he did.
I lived in Aberdeen. If you spent anytime there you'd be like "Oh yeah, it all makes sense now."
@@AgentXaos You mean courtney love Did what she did
This is fucking amazing, thanks for sharing and upgrading this video!!!
Loved seeing Krist using his ass to get that guy off stage....then Kurt's finally like "fuck it"....then Jason jumping off the stage after him...Rock and fucking Roll!!!!!!!!
Jason was the one that got fed up 😂 he would've been great live with Nirvana as a 2nd guitarist and security, he joined that military later
@@scarykurapika100yago2not just military, but special forces I believe,(seals)? and played with soundgarden
He came from backstage so that "stage manager" was aware of him, if not knew him or were friends.
@@benjaminfowler4513Army Ranger & Green Beret aka a fuckin legendary badass..Who can say they played in 2 legendary bands like Nirvana & Soundgarden, and went on to be a member of not one but two elite special forces units 😂
This performance is absolutely golden! The emotion, the energy, it's just perfect!
Great concert. Nice to see this is available to watch for generations to come.
@another pizza when have times changed?
Jason Everman was so good playing with them
Ema Heiwa agree, really like him!
He added something, didn't he? This is a pretty different band from the one that recorded Nevermind. But it has it's own brutal charm. Looser, but incredibly powerful at times too.
they were kinda asshole with him
@@TheEvaBalazs they were always assholes it’s just their style lol
@@mr.chocolatehazelnutspread8317 do you know them as a person?I justt read Come as you are and according to that theey were preetty asssholes sometimes.
Each LP was perfect. Bleach was the prefect sound of the time, Nevermind was new, the future, and In Utero was an amalgam, but with hints of what would have been soon to come when he and Stipe got together, or at least that’s how I hear it.
the only good thing about his death is he didnt taint his legacy with horrible rem bs....
That intensity man 🔥🔥🔥
unbeatable!
One of the best versions of Dive I've ever heard. I fucking love that song
The person who recorded this is a time machine, thanks
This brings back some epic memories. Great time to be a young music fan.
As a teenager I can just agree with you, its been a year since I discovered Nirvana and God I wish I could see them live...
@@peppapsyg But at least you Discovered Nirvana better late than never...😵
Dive is such an underrated song
Jason rockin' a Prong t-shirt
HOLY MOLY! What a lovely time to be an old fan.
Right!?!
The reckless freedom of early Nirvana is so special. Kinda like punk with better musicianship and much better vocals...Man that voice was raw and powerful ⚡
Here in 2021on mine(38th)and Kurt’ birthday 02-20-83 and 02-20-67- I have been a fan since I was 8 in 1991 - wow 30 years gone by fast- I had the fender Cobain signature jag stang guitar(blue)and started playing because of Nirvana. I spent my high school days locked away perfecting all things nirvana and oasis. I can play every Nirvana song still to this day.
6:24 what is he saying?
School's live version here is almost indistinguishable from the studio version considering it takes a lot of screaming. Amazin'!
Simply fucking awesome
Not just this vid but GOD BLESS any of you mofos for taking these vids back in the day of NIRVANA like this!!! I can't thank u enough.
I'm still looking for for the Dec 4th 1993 Uno Lakefront recording.
Its the Holy Grail to me, because my dad took me to the show for my 13th birthday.
I know the audio is available, and the Breeders and Shonen Knife video's are out, so surely, hopefully,.......
Please help!
This has been a struggle and a journey.
I was at the UNO Lakefront show too. I'm from the Northshore. That still ranks as my all time favorite concert- they were SO ON!!! And they played damn near EVERYTHING! Someone used to have the audio from that show up on RUclips a few years ago because I listened to it. I've not been able to find it lately either but it's out there. Cheers P[>
@@patrickfoster4586, The Breeders and Shonen Knife video is available on RUclips, sadly, no Nirvana.
This time of history seems insane to me, I can’t even imagine what daily life was like, seing Kurt just living on that video coming out of a completely different time is so wird (I don’t have words)
Thanks for remastering this concert. It was unwatchable with the original source.
Btw could anyone understand what Krist mumbled in the mic at the end of the show?
it's the master ! it's not a remaster.
He had a tendency to imbibe a good bit
Bless you to whoever captured this video! Bless you man!
I would pay to travel in time only to go to that concert :(
Now that is what I'm talking about. Traveling through time and back as much as you like I reckon unless there's rules of the universe that forbid you to.repeatly visit your own pass. Something like one could cause a great Paradox and alter everybody and every everyone's own reality destiny and Fate would be completely altered Yikes. Gosh I would really hate to be that Guy. You dig?
RUclips = closest thing to time traveling. I feel like I'm there back in 89' watching this. I physical could have been there ... but I was 2 years old at the time. It would have been hard to understand just what I was seeing ... too where now I know
Its makes me very happy when I see Nirvana again..
Always exciting to watch NIRVANA on Stage. Nirvana filled our days during High School 1997-2000. Thank you for this beautiful Live Video. Amazing
This should be titled, before the internet when things were cool.
Or: When things were cool becuz they were cool. Not because someone said so.
when things were word of mouth and you had to be in the know
@@mippim8765 correct
Legendary and the audience didn't even know it yet.
1 - those were the days
2 - heroin ruins everything, do not do it
3 - Chad was a great drummer
Wow. This is pure gold. Hallelujah and thanks master RUclipsr
This concert was during my senior year didn't even know Nirvana existed!😵
Thank God I didn't miss too many years...
Miss you Kurt... 😇 Thank You for all the Music You Left Us With!🎸🎶
Me too...class of 89

A younger and healthier Kurt. I've never seen this. Great footage, thank you whomever is behind it.
All the Nirvana fans are here ☺️
Wow! , Cool! Nirvana kicking some ass from the stage.
What a great gig! The band in a amazing moment before they explode to world. Kickin off the drunk guy! this video just make my day, thank you!
i love this era of nirvana, they have a lot of energy compared to the in utero era, that second guitar feels powerful and makes them sound even better.
I love "scoff" and i aways wish to see they playing this Song live.♥️
Bleach's song is so much better when performed in live.
3 albums is all we got. And from what 92 on they will forever be remembered . 3 albums changed music. Immagine if kurt was here today.
this quality is super impressive
They were just so f****n fantastic. I feel sorry for the kids today. Nothing as real as this.
how is it humanly possible to scream like this for an hour without losing voice, man what a gift! I wish I could scream like this for 30 seconds ahhhh what a show!!
He's not screaming he is distorting his voice. It's a trick with your voice and breath control. If he was screaming he wouldn't get through a full set.
This is so rad to see. I live a few blocks down from the Pyramid Club. RIP :(
Omg this is great thank you to whoever worked on restoring this footage and audio
One of my fav nirvana shows
oh boy, it's finally here. i had a chance to go to this show and turned it down! i've been kicking myself ever since. in my defense, i had only heard love buzz and about a girl at that point and love buzz IMO is a lousy tune lol! my two best friends were in attendance though and i was 3 or 4 blocks away in my apartment...
Weren't interested in About a Girl?
Can't you feel my loooove BUZZZZ!!!
the way krist tried to bump the dude off the stage at 5:31 LMAOOO
It's like every song was Helter Skelter kicked up up a notch or any other great Beatles song. Which is why this band despite it's short life touched so many. They had that "magic".
Cool Kurt with TAD t-shirt.. X__x
Seeing music before the internet.. wish I could’ve been there
I remember the sad choices at the time. I say this not knowing at the time that the choices were sad. Plasticky pop music, over produced hair metal, top heavy and pretentious Metallica and megadeth. GNR had been a revelation, but they were spun out too. Then came this raw, tender and perfectly written music. Simple in delivery and profound with feeling.
wow. Just great.What else can we say? Thank you again Kurt, for this and for all.
