      If the cameras weren't there they would be a lot more energetic, you can see Kurt in the beginning not looking towards the cameras direction. one example of this is that he doesn't look a the apple when it rolls away, it was kind of weird that he wouldn't or, nothing in life matters, let's party :-)

      @@denisepaulsenful No, he was very interested. He was going through opiate withdrawal and I believe was just on a small dose of Methadone. I've been through opiate withdrawal several times and it's no picnic. It's even worse when you have to be out in the public and have to function and act as if everything is ok when you are literally feel like you are dying inside. It's so much harder than people could ever imagine.

      kurt agreed to do this. no one forced him. he was absent from plenty of interviews he didn't want to participate in. this isn't really private footage; it's someone in Nirvana's crew filming Nirvana and Shonen Knife being filmed by a TV station.

    Remember. The better quality video of this is in it's original video tape with Courtney Love. The reason why you see this video kind of bad quality and not so clear its because when people made copies on vhs tapes the move copy one after another copy the lower and less quality it became. So since i know all this about tapes/ This video your watching was around 3 or 4 times copied. So when you make 1 copy... and took that 1 copy with you to make another copy that second copy from that 1st copy tape would end up less quality. Get me ? :) its simple people will understand those who had a vcr machine and made many copies. The 1st copy always turns our good. But when you took that st copy tape to make another copy.... then the quality turns out less and less. Its why the results on this is not as clear as the original tape. Its easy to know. Just thought ill let people know the reason why you always see bad quality videos of nirvana its because of that result. Its not because it was recorded bad quality. Always original tapes holds its quality all the times. So if you had this video from its original tape.. this video would looked far better quality then what it is with this one. I have many tapes of concerts. My friend wanted a copy of my original recoded tape in the 1990s. And so i made a copy. But then my friend some how made multiple copies from the 1st copy i gave him which means the quality was stil good for him until he made multiple copies and then everyone holding a copy of that tape made copies of that tape and so the quality became downgraded. Wanted to tell the world the reason why the quality isn't as good as it should be. Its because of that result. this copy video may as well had been multiple copies over it. Simple. I rather had seen the original quality as i would had been so nice but try tell Courtney love the tapes... perhaps give her 10.000 bucks to get the original tape. Cheers.

    I like the whole cameraman being in the shot thing. Never seen that before. I wonder where the cameraman is today.
