To me, the Bleach songs are the real highlights of this show. Dave Grohl's drumming and the addition of Pat Smear as second Guitarist takes them to a level of heaviness way beyond the original album versions.
The only two Bleach songs they played were School and About a Girl. I wish they had played Negative Creep, because judging by how gnarly School was, that song would have been a barn burner!
I agree, Pat was the missing ingredient, the secret weapon adding SOOO much to their overall sound. It's a damn shame it didn't last very long...I often wonder what might've been had Kurt not pass away in 94
I can’t believe you guys still believe he killed himself. A documentary called “Soaked in Bleach”, watch it. A podcast called “the death of Kurt cobain” by Steven Pacheco, listen to it.
@@SpencerFoust Might be, prior to joining Nirvana he hadn't been touring and playing this much for like 10 years and I reckon Nirvana had a really tight schedule after IU came out. Too bad his time in the band was cut short, he really killed it...
I can believe it. Sadly a lot of people could not. Most people wouldn’t know what to do with a band like this today. Everything now is way too airbrushed. They just wouldn’t understand it or appreciate it.
I have viewed 1000's of videos and read 100000's of comments. Your comment here is so profound to me. I agree Pat is a badass even though I think the performance of Kurt and Dave is the main course
This is one of my favourite songs of all time, purely because I used to pretend he was saying "don't be scared" instead of "no recess," and I listened to it a lot whilst my dad was dying from cancer. This song got me through the hardest period of my life.
There's such a simple but profound and almost comedic presence to this song, insane riffs, probably my favorite Nirvana song, period. I have heard a version where he sings to the crowd, "you're in night school again," love that one too! But I agree this is the best version....
Dave Grohl always managed to improve that drums, it's perfect, bordering on the divine and let's not even talk about the bass and Kurt's voice. Simply mythical.
There are many concerts I deeply regret never having seen before in person and this is one of them. I cannot get over how great Nirvana was live and especially with Pat Smear.
hey tom, do you think you could do a setup tour one of these days? like showing off your guitars, amps, presets, all that stuff. thanks! P.S. keep up with the covers, they are all great!
Definitely my favorite live version of School and if you're a Nirvana fan, you know there's a lot of them they played it at virtually every show. But Pat Smear adds a boost here and Kurt is absolutely blazing!
Yeah, top this!!! The atmosphere on the stage amping up, the way it fuels the crowd... The way those drums role in before all hell breaks loose... And that's just the start of it all... The rawness of it, all the while maintaining a solid musical piece... pure magic!!!
Wouldn't you belive it it's just my luk x4 No recess x3 Wouldn't you belive it it's just my luck x4 No recess x3 You're in high school again x8 No recess x7
Kurt had his demons, but he was an uncompromising artist, a social progressive at a time when it wasn't "cool" to be one, and by all accounts, a genuinely kind and empathetic soul. One of my personal heroes. RIP legend.
I don't know why but this is one of my favorite Nirvana tracks. I think it goes back to a show I saw them at in the early 90s. It just has so much freaking energy! Love it!
Man, this song is like a shot of adrenaline and 5 redbulls. Kurt looked ethereal in this performance, but also sad knowing he was likely out of it and had scabs/cigarette marks from his drug-induced behavior. Thank you, Kurt, you are missed.
There always seems to be some sort of breeze on Kurt and it may be a coincidental fan to cool them on stage but, for me, it adds to the mystique and just makes his performance that much more… prophetic
Yeah in reading when the breeze is hitting them in the crowd singing lithium, that's one of the most mystical moments for me there's just something about it it's like the breath of the crowd is blowing back on him
What genius song. Taking heavy rock and infusing it with lyrics that invoke Charlie Brown and the frustrations of school aged children. God I loved this band.
One of my favorites from their harder songs(the unplugged set pretty much takes the top spots for me). I really wish they'd written an album with Pat on it. It would have been cool to see what they came up with as a 4piece, and he really worked well with them live. I hear he was crazy as fuck too.
This is such a banger and I love this vid because all of them are going mental with their instruments like pat smear looks awesome 😎 Kurt’s voice is unmatchable my goodness and I like how he goes so close to the mic it’s like something he does 😂
God I wish he was still alive... to think all of the great music that would’ve come out of this man and the band… Absolute shame that he is no longer with us. Thank God for RUclips so we can relive these moments. What a monster Rock Band they were.
I remember where I was when he died, Vegas , April 1994, facing south on Fourth Street downtown when it wasn't a one way street. He is the reason I'm alive today. His suicide was a pivotal moment in my life. If you want to get a man's attention, take something away from him. I didn't even go or care too much when my step father died. Goes to show who had my attention during those younger "me" years all that time ago. Snapped my fingers and I'm 43, old, basically invisible, and "hanging on in quiet desperation". Every once in a while I listen to a Nirvana song. Every once in a while. Only Eddie Vedder is left. I'm here, and all my guitar / music heros are dead. Hmm. Be happy folks, it goes quick. Life is but a brief candle.
Watching these performances now it's clear that as good as the songs are , Dave's drumming kicked the live sound to where it needed to be, especially for big gigs
Bleach is such a heavy record. It's like heavy metal with a punk attitude and little hints of pop music. Cobain was insanely talented
Thats what MTV used to call "grunge"
@@robertoguzman897 Proto-Grunge almost
@@biggusdickus1689 Nah, when Bleach came out the scene was already there, it just wasnt mainstream

I think Dave plays it faster tempo making the song better.
Astute
The only two Bleach songs they played were School and About a Girl. I wish they had played Negative Creep, because judging by how gnarly School was, that song would have been a barn burner!
They did have a second guitarist on bleach who was Jason everman but I think that they only credited him on a few songs
@@mikegleeson8733 They also played "Blew"
The addition of Pat Smear to Nirvana’s live shows can never be underrated. He just made everything better and gets very little accolades.
no.

First performance with nirvana
i love how they all played their instruments in the most un-ergonomical way
Go home

Kurt's is manageable, Pat and Krist just have ridiculous stances.
I still dont understand dave fly-high cymbals

We miss you Kurt!
Long live Nirvana
If only kurt missed he would still be here

cuz he will see this
I can’t believe you guys still believe he killed himself. A documentary called “Soaked in Bleach”, watch it.
A podcast called “the death of Kurt cobain” by Steven Pacheco, listen to it.
I love how Pat's taking a quick breather at 2:00. Back to killing it seconds later.
He looks exhausted. So tired.
@@SpencerFoust Might be, prior to joining Nirvana he hadn't been touring and playing this much for like 10 years and I reckon Nirvana had a really tight schedule after IU came out. Too bad his time in the band was cut short, he really killed it...
Torge Meier tru...
Before they met him, Kurt and the guys thought “Pat from the Germs?! He’s still alive?!!!!!!” Lmao
Haha really xD
Is she even plugged
29 years later and people still listen to their songs everyday and wear merch and rematch interviews, i dont think nirvana will ever die
Hay,,,I from Indonesia
hell yeah
NO RECESS
30 years later, and this stands up strong. Can you imagine seeing a live band like this in 2023? Incredible artists!
That would be rare
I can believe it. Sadly a lot of people could not. Most people wouldn’t know what to do with a band like this today. Everything now is way too airbrushed. They just wouldn’t understand it or appreciate it.
Pro tip: Go see idles
Smashing Pumpkins still perform. Are they Nirvana, of course not but they still capture that era and vibe to me.
Only Pat Smear would feel perfectly comfortable taking break on National tv in front of a sold out crowd. Punk as F#%k.
it's pretty hard not to love Pat Smear
Grunge as fuck
Stuadh he is the most likeable guy ever
I have viewed 1000's of videos and read 100000's of comments. Your comment here is so profound to me. I agree Pat is a badass even though I think the performance of Kurt and Dave is the main course

I like how at 01:59 Pat looks at camera guy like “What?! You never just take a little break sometimes”??!!!?

True
Grohl is fuken beast
Hrafn yes he is
So is Krist and Kurt... and dont forget Pat :D
He and dale crover.
Ben Lynd what?
Grohl is fuken beard
Best version of School, in my opinion
There's such a simple but profound and almost comedic presence to this song, insane riffs, probably my favorite Nirvana song, period. I have heard a version where he sings to the crowd, "you're in night school again," love that one too! But I agree this is the best version....
This is great, besides Krist fucking up and missing key notes twice at the end. You can tell Kurt was shitty bout it
Agreed
Pat provides a thicker sound!
@@cheetahcoats4923 ??????
Dave Grohl always managed to improve that drums, it's perfect, bordering on the divine and let's not even talk about the bass and Kurt's voice. Simply mythical.
The only song whose live performance is exponentially better than the studio version
I think having a second guitarist really makes a huge difference in the energy level.
No, it's not. You're just a Foo Fighters fanboy.
That falsetto is perfect. always chills me
@@profd65 why you crying?
i want you to want me by cheap trick is better live
Nirvana could be playing this in their garage and it would still be the same performance; they were always themselves. I'd forgotten their magic.
mindblowing version, kurt's voice was just superb
There are many concerts I deeply regret never having seen before in person and this is one of them. I cannot get over how great Nirvana was live and especially with Pat Smear.
I probably watched this video a thousand times and it STILL never gets old
1994 - 2024 30 ANOS SEM KURT COBAIN. UM DOS MAIORES GÊNIOS DA HISTÓRIA DO ROCK MUNDIAL!!! OBRIGADO POR TUDO, KURT. VOCÊ É ETERNO!!! 😢✌🌹
At least corona gave us a pretty long recess..

One of the best riffs EVER! I fn love it!!!
Always been one of the most energetic live songs of theirs. They always seem so hyped to be playing this one.

I remember a nirvana video when Kurt was very young playing this in front of a small crowd saying something like "Seriously it's just two notes"
That bass strap is lower than my self esteem
We ALL ❤ You.
That's a good line 😂
Stolen comment
Kurt is an undisputed musical genius... But the band got so much better when Dave joined
Dave grohl was basically a gift from God saying: this is going to outer space now.
never thought id be first for a nirvana sing
Nirvana💓
also
Won’t you believe it it’s just my luck
*song
Love buzz is their first song
Always loved Dave’s nasty footwork on the bass drum. And how he uses it along with the floor Tom for fills n rolls. Amazing
Dave's fills are intense always brings me back to this
This performance gives me chills everytime I watch it
The best live concert sound,vocals and preformance by Nirvana.
Kurt had his demons, but he was an uncompromising artist, a social progressive at a time when it wasn't "cool" to be one, and by all accounts, a genuinely kind and empathetic soul. One of my personal heroes. RIP legend.
I love that drum sound!!!
Mi Nirvana favorito es en vivo con Pat Smear.... ¡un cañón!
I love how the melody and chords in the chorus bring that intense contrast between tough emotion and then deep desperation emotion
I don't know why but this is one of my favorite Nirvana tracks. I think it goes back to a show I saw them at in the early 90s. It just has so much freaking energy! Love it!
Even after death, we are still lining up to listen to you, Kurt 🤟
0:05 somebody said “I love you Kurt”
All I heard was "ERR SCHOOL!! ALRIGHT TH- (Guitar starts")
I heard orangutan
That was me
Press X to doubt
The bass sound es absolutly stunning…
forever young and wondeful
Kurt, you will forever remain our hearts
I wish we lived in a world where they were doing a 35th anniversary tour of just this record.
2020: N O R E C E S S !
Kurt was generally self deprecating about his guitar skills but he's killing it here. One heavy hittin song.

What genius song. Taking heavy rock and infusing it with lyrics that invoke Charlie Brown and the frustrations of school aged children. God I loved this band.
That's right
my god, that voice is so fucking sincere and iconic. Legend.
I think School is the most direct and powerful song.
Dave drumming makes this song so powerful
Smooth like butter! And Pat taking a breather haha. All 4 members were jazzed in this song, plus they all got no recess.
Kurt had the best 'rock scream'
Maybe Just My luck is changing. A new upload 😍 Thank you! It sounds so good 👏
It was an authentic performance. The band look like having a comfortable time playing at home 💪🏻🙂
I love him, he makes sure that the amp is delivering that feedback
Vocally - beyond amazing here.....better than ever......

That Mounted Tom Tom is a BEAST. Dave always went BIG!!!!
I MISS NIRVANA.
The power of music. Kurt was a tiny man but with music he was a giant.
Not exacty tiny. I mean, he wasn't small like Marc Bolan or Prince. He was about 5'8" or 5'"9. He was just thin.
God I wish he was still alive... to think all of the great music that would’ve come out of this man and the band… Absolute shame that he is no longer with us. Thank God for RUclips so we can relive these moments. What a monster Rock Band they were.
What a great performance
This band was a machine at this point
One string, two note riff, 15 words, one fucking great song.
Krist's massive bass is giving me chills.
Best Live
