This is the exact point when 80’s became 90’s. Everything changed. From music to mindset generational trends, through fashion and everything else. Thanks, Kurt, Dave and Chris. You changed many lives for better.
Even far away at the other side of the globe, i was there ! I was grew up listening to madonna, duran duran, george michael and nkotb...nirvana came up to the spotlight dude and change the entire air waves and tv ! during my junior high school back then in north part of bali
Notice how nobody else even said a word to kurt either except Nelson possibly but it's hard to see. There is a whole moment there where he is all alone just standing there.
IIRC, they skipped using an amp on that one, and ran direct into the board. Makes sense, it sounds a lot like what a re-amped guitar or amp sim today sounds like before you add an impulse response to it.
Cardigans never goes out of style. I`m glad GenZ seem to be coming out of that boring, plain clothing style the young people have been wearing for a couple of decades now. They seem so afraid to stick out and have their own style unlike back then when everything was about having your own style, mixing up clothes and looking weird.
@yaboyreege7158 how is it not true? I look at gen z kids and they ALL dress the same. All the guys wear the same styles and fits and all the girls do the same. Back in the 90s and early 00s you DIDNT want to look like everyone else. You wanted to look like yourself. His comment is 100% accurate. Gen z too scared to be an individual.
I'm in my 50s now, Nirvana was a major game-changer in music. I was lucky enough to see them before Kurt passed. I feel like I'm 21 again watching this and yes, I can still mosh with the best of them.
Dude was gliding. I find it so fascinating that Kevin Shields was experimenting with that guitar technique and became an icon of his own, and it was all around this time, too!
@@angelurbina8158 yeah Loveless is one of my favorite guitar texture albums. He definitely found a style of music by utilizing long droning guitar feedback and textures. Kurt was also a fan of extended washes of distortion drenched passages going back to his earliest songs and demos. As an artists you could tell he loved getting lost in the sounds the guitar could make and I never knew Kurt but my guess would be that it started out of his love of The Butthole Surfers because they would take LSD and have songs with crazy amounts of distortion and feedback and weird effects. I know one of Kurt’s favorite albums of all time was “Locust Abortion Technician” by Butthole Surfers.
Wow Kurt looked really handsome here. Man I miss the early 90s. What a time to be alive. The last generation before the internet. The only way we heard of music was from MTV/record shops/music magazine. Nirvana was mysterious when they first came out. I seen the video on Kasey Kasems top 40. You couldn’t even see Kurt’s face in the video. Literally overnight music stations went from play Poison/MotleyCrue to playing Nirvana/Alice in Chains/Pearl jam. Being 17 and a junior in high school/In love with my high school sweetheart/skateboarding in town til 10 at night/hanging with friends. Best days of my life. All you young folks take it from me…enjoy your youth cause it fades so fast. Don’t waste your youth scrolling to kill your boredom.
Todo es efímero en este planeta. Nosotros moriremos y seremos olvidados pero Kurt Cobain probablemente se hable de él dentro de dos siglos más las generaciones del futuro lejano.
Oh so true n enjoyed your experience. My friend was trying to get me to listen - bout 17 years old n I refused !!! 😵 then met a guy who I would eventually marry … but he gave me a tape n said here go listen to this - I was high as heck and I ran inside my moms house n laid down behind a recliner where I could listen and that is when I fell in love … this was before he was even known - like not on radio or mtv but soon would be after this . Was good time w music back then . Life now is scrolling online to pass time sadly .
You do? I'm the only one in my town that I've seen wear cardigans or mohair sweaters and rocking long hair. If you're talking about ripped jeans that wasn't a cobain thing. And yes sadly they've ruined ripped jeans now too. They're commercial. You see soccer moms wearing ripped Levi's. Its actually pretty damn sad...
@@thefeeps wouldn't say all of that, he's just using an AI enhancer program that he didn't code or anything, he just pays and puts in a video and gets it in higher quality and posts it
from van halen, synths, leather, motorcycles, makeup, LA susent strip, to this. It was the biggest change ever in music. Grunge was the perfect mix between punk, pop, metal and 60s psicodelia.
@@nonameman7114 you didnt have the option to travel in time like you do with YT. In those days when something new appeared like Nirvana, the rest was not aired anymore, it disappeared. Everythign was controlled by radio and TV. Today with the internet YT is a time machine so all trends can coexist and be aired for ever. Even bands that didnt made it big or are unknown can be seen in YT. In fact lots of 80s bands that were buried by grunge had their second chance to re-emerge thanks to YT cause the kids can see all their videos and live shows and become fans.
@@nonameman7114 I was 14 or 15, my first year of high school. The school year started with Def Leppard, GNR Use Your Illusion, Skid Row Slave to the Grind, Firehouse was a new band, and other metals hits. Then we started hearing Evenflow and Alive mixed in. I remember where I was when I first heard Smells Like.... and wondered what was this? By the end of the school year 80s hair metal was fading to nothing. Grunge was here.
I'm still MESMERIZED 30+ years later... it's all the same...never changes. A VERY special place in my heart for Kurtz always and forever. He got me through so many dark times in my life. I'm so grateful for that.
So cool to see this in 4k. I remember watching it in 92. I was in 7th grade and am ashamed to admit I didn't recognize the genius until a friend of mine made me listen to the full cd at my first party. I remember the girls at the party hating it and the guys immediately started throwing each other in my pool in the back yard. Good times.
Nah he was already bored of it. Look how much more enthusiasm he gives territorial pissings. Only good live versions of teen spirit is before nevermind was released.
I remember watching this as it aired. I was 13. I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen when they started destroying their instruments. I wanted to put a frying pan through the TV. Rock n' roll.
I didn't see this live. I saw it on the replay on March 7, 1992, a few days before my 15th birthday. I remember the date because seeing this changed my life. I was an extremely sheltered kid who was only allowed to listen to church music. That night, I stayed up to watch SNL on the sly, having no idea who Nirvana was or that they would be on. By the time Kurt started ramming his guitar into the amps, my entire worldview was collapsing, and I was ready to take a sledgehammer to anything left standing. I never looked back.
Pure crystallization of THE rock band of the 90s. The chords and melodies are so strangely beautiful. We were blessed to have them with us for such a short time. Miss these guys together.
I always liked this performance because you can so clearly hear what Dave is doing on the kick drum. Helped a lot when I was trying to teach myself SLTS back in the day, particularly the chorus. I remember just tapping on my legs while watching this performance back in like… 2002 (I had downloaded the video off Kazaa or something) and the pattern (including the quarter notes on the hi-hat!) just clicking in my brain.
And no other band sounds like this before or after and forever. My uncle put me to Nirvana when I was 13 years old. That changed my life because ever since I have had an eclectic taste in music. Thanks for blessing us with such great creativity and good music Mr. Cobain, even if we only had you for a short time. A forever revisit. ♥️♥️🫶🏾♥️♥️
Just saw this with my son, and told him about my favorite band called nirvana ^_^ i loved watching him watching this and such an epic moment. You can do WHATEVER you want, in this fkn world. U wanna sing!? Sing! Play, whatever!
I’m 27. Nirvana has been my life since I was a little one thanks to my mum blaring it in the car. Another reason why I picked up a guitar. Through the pain I’m still thankful
9:00 Left of the screen: Chris Farley & Kurt Cobain shaking hands goodbye. It's amazing those two legends we lost far too soon got to share that moment together.
I LOVE how Krist made sure EVERYONE in the world saw his L7 tshirt at the end. Nirvana were amazing at using their platform to promote the bands that they loved and in return have helped those bands get more fans (me included).
OMG when Dave throws the cymbals down, then Krist picks them up and chucks them back at Dave just about hitting him with them had me crying laughing 😭 God I miss Kurt and the nineties!!!
Oh yeah. Grunge times. At the university I would wear lumberjack shirts, t-shirts over rollnecks, wide long skirts and boots and long loose hair. Watching MTV, hoping for Nirvana, Soundgarden, AiC, Pearl Jam etc coming on. Great times. And I know that every generation sings praises of their own music but I genuinely feel sorry for the generation of today - having to go back 30 years or more for solid, proper music.
This band was not to be f**ked with. Imagine seeing a band perform like this nowadays on SNL. It would be unimaginable. The total rejection of commercialism woven into some kind of holy perfect singing/playing. I mean it doesn't sound 'good' it just sounds way more than that. You can practically hear how quiet the audience is.
1:44 Is Visual poetry.. i love how the camera frames Dave's furious, busy, animated, energetic drumming In the background that's contrasts Kurt's calm, hypnotic, lucid, serene expression As he sings. The cameraman had to know he was capturing art..great skills To capture That kind of yin and yang
This performance put me on Nirvana, for good. Territorial Pissings is stunning here. Also -- were the SNL band inspired by Nirvana just absolutely killing it? At the end of the show, I don't think they've ever gone harder.
I remember watching this and feeling like we won. We kicked out the pop stars and cheesy hair metal guys for a brief moment. And then of course it all got commercialized and ruined. But here, it was still real and new.
I just freaking LOVE Nirvana and Kurt's playing, Krist's droning bass and Dave's epic drumming! I had a chance to see them in San Diego in Dec. 1993, but I figured "ah, next time". I still regret it to this day since Kurt tripped over a shot gun only a few months later.....son of a gun......
Knowing now the state Kurt was in after the onslaught of the Nevermind tour, according to Dave, it's fascinating to see this with a his perspective. Go read Dave's book if you haven't.
@@alexevans5043at the time it was, he got a good amount of his guitars at pawn shops and at discounted prices and modified them himself to get the tones he wanted
Anyone else notice that Krist changed his shirt from a Melvins shirt to an L7 shirt between sets. Awesome to promote his homies as much as possible with this opportunity.
Love the way he arrogantly smokes that cig during the last part. Haha. I have to remind myself that people were allowed to smoke inside buildings at that time. He'll always be a rebel to me though.
It was just a special time in the world. I was 9 years old and it was just good life. We felt free. Please dont get how different things are now post 9/11 and in the age of social media..everyone you knew watched snl it was an event
This is the exact point when 80’s became 90’s.
Everything changed. From music to mindset generational trends, through fashion and everything else.
Thanks, Kurt, Dave and Chris. You changed many lives for better.
As a 20 year old whos obsessed with the 80s, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be the face of the New Music Wave of the 90s
What you on about. You weren't even there
I was born in 1979, I was there. For who was not it is super easy to do an educated guess, by looking Billboard charts. Nirvana blow up the algorithm
@jyejye1077 I get what you mean it's like you have an appreciation for history

The fact that they acheived one of the greatest rock songs of all time as a 3-piece is just amazing.
Now imagine when a soloist does it like Jeff Buckley. Incredible
@@MichaelOdomwest16thAvewho?
I literally just said the same thing to my daughter while we were watching this...
It is incredible but then the white stripes did it with 2. It only takes 1 genius guy. Kurdt or Jack.
Their no Rush, Triumph, or Grand Funk but I get it. 🔥 🎶
Farley and Cobain at the end shaking hands is so cool. Two absolute masters of their craft that will be forever missed.
9:01 so cool. Farley must’ve been nervous. I’m picturing it.

Dave grohls drum roll on territorial pissings intro and than transitioning into the song was incredible 😮
I remember being astonished at nirvanas sound when this performance was broadcast an historic performance
Dave is using the biggest sticks possible and hitting those drums so hard they would break.
His drumming pushed these songs over the top.
dude, overpowering the gd bass!!
The Chronic, Vulgar Display of Power, and Nevermind: all released within 15 months. All 3 permanently changed music. Glad I got to experience that.
Garth Brooks too on the country music side. He had that No Fences album around this time that was huge/
Pure crystallization of THE rock band of the 90s. The chords and melodies are so strangely beautiful. We were blessed to have them with us for such a short time. Miss these guys together.
this hands down is the best live nirvana performance of a song that exists imo..the balance of the instruments, the aggression. timeless

Sadly, just two short years later Kurt would be gone. A legend who left too soon.

That`s some serious good video quality you got there, my dude.
9:09 Farley, Cobain and Phil Hartman all lined upon the left side. 😢
This is amazing like it could have been recorded yesterday. Epic upload.
This performance put me on Nirvana, for good. Territorial Pissings is stunning here. Also -- were the SNL band inspired by Nirvana just absolutely killing it? At the end of the show, I don't think they've ever gone harder.
I remember watching this and feeling like we won. We kicked out the pop stars and cheesy hair metal guys for a brief moment. And then of course it all got commercialized and ruined.
But here, it was still real and new.
This looks incredible. 😮
Good quality bro Great touch of saturation & Hue balance as well. Almost restored to tv debut. Sick
Perfect drumming. Perfect.
First time seeing this in proper high quality thank you
Best live performance of teen spirit
"When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions"
These lines are oddly prophetic.
That notion of feeling like an alien also reminds me of The Wipers 'Alien Boy'.
Just waving that guitar around like that and signing all while nailing every note. Wow
“I’m worst at what I do best, and for this gift 🎁 I feel blessed 😇…”
Deveria estar no Spotify e em outras plataformas. Performance boa demais
I agree
Melhor que já vi
I just freaking LOVE Nirvana and Kurt's playing, Krist's droning bass and Dave's epic drumming! I had a chance to see them in San Diego in Dec. 1993, but I figured "ah, next time". I still regret it to this day since Kurt tripped over a shot gun only a few months later.....son of a gun......
Knowing now the state Kurt was in after the onslaught of the Nevermind tour, according to Dave, it's fascinating to see this with a his perspective. Go read Dave's book if you haven't.
Chris Farley shaking Kurt Cobain’s hand.. wow. Legends.
I always liked how kurt could get interesting sounds out of cheaper equipment..
It’s funny you think a Jaguar is cheap
@@alexevans5043at the time it was, he got a good amount of his guitars at pawn shops and at discounted prices and modified them himself to get the tones he wanted
Anyone else notice that Krist changed his shirt from a Melvins shirt to an L7 shirt between sets. Awesome to promote his homies as much as possible with this opportunity.
at that time. I'm in high junior school 2#...always listen to music in the morning... #spirit ❤️
I watched this when it aired... God i feel old.
Those guys were just really really good.... there's just no getting around it...🎸🎸🎸
So amazing. I still remember this. I was blown away. Good times.
OMG, THANK YOU for this video! It had all their screen time. Perfect.
Only know this through the Kelce Podcast with Sir Charles #34 this is great history ❤🤓 awesome showing of SNL that Year
Crazy how he committed sucide💔 I blame the hard drugs and Lack off support from friends and family🪦
🎸Rest in peace Kurt Cobain 🏵️
Grande Nirvana!!!
Espetáculo!!!
It's one of their best live performances
Thank you so much for the videos
Dave has aged like a fine wine❤
Love the way he arrogantly smokes that cig during the last part. Haha. I have to remind myself that people were allowed to smoke inside buildings at that time.
He'll always be a rebel to me though.
It was just a special time in the world. I was 9 years old and it was just good life. We felt free. Please dont get how different things are now post 9/11 and in the age of social media..everyone you knew watched snl it was an event
SNL sucks ballz now, though.
Best video and audio I’ve seen of this performance!!!
I miss the 90's. ❤
