And not an easy first song to learn - if true . I can’t even remember the first full song I learned to play on guitar . I think it was My Sharona . Haha
Because all three of them sounded great singing. Nirvana was always supposed to be a 4 piece with multiple vocalists. Kurt was probably excited about all the new possibilities having 3 singers 2 guitarists would allow them to do songwriting wise and live.
I love seeing Krist and Kurt sing together here. I like to think no matter how dysfunctional their relationship became towards the end, their friendship would have endured.
No... KURT became dysfunctional. Krist was and has always been the same guy. Imagine your best friend and co-founder of the band that changed your life forever married some controlling narcissist who completely kept him away from you and kept feeding him heroin and pills to keep control. You'd be frustrated too. Courtney is an evil B****, and Krist and Dave KNEW she was from the very beginning.
Cobain did a great job of imitating the vocals of Ric Ocasek,I think had he not taken his life he would have greatly diversified his songwriting,vocal,and guitar styles-we'll never know...
Kurt has a helluva of a Ric Ocasek impression. Love how his voice turns from Ric to Kurt from the verse to the chorus. Great blend of two very unique sounding bands/voices. Great choice of cover, nods to their clear power pop influence while somewhat subverting it in a totally punk ass way. Fucking awesome.
They were obviously having a great time at this gig. Nice to see. Also, I don't think Kurt ever gets enough credit for his intentionally bad guitar solos.
I've known about this performance for decades thru bootleg tapes, but never saw the video until now. A real gem. Glad that I stumbled upon it. I'm a fan since at least 1992, so any new (to me) Nirvana video is a real find. Thanks much for posting.
Oddly enough, Nirvana covering this song is how I knew the song Moving In Stereo because I hadn't gone too much into The Cars' music and had only heard the handful of songs that are always on the radio. It's now one of my favorites by them.
For those wondering, in the end Krist is yelling a verse from another The Cars' song, "Moving In Stereo". It goes like: life's the same i'm moving in stereo life's the same except for my shoes life's the same you're shaking like tremolo life's the same it's all inside you
20 years since his death today...R.I.P. Kurt Cobain! Thank you for your music. Because of you I learned to play guitar. You have influenced so many people, your music will live on forever!!!
He influenced me to play too. I'm 13 and I'm so mad that he couldn't be with us today even though I wasn't born until 7 years and 7 months after his death
would love to hear a studio version by nirvana. Nirvana always seemed to be able to handle cover songs while adding their own flavor to it, not many artists can make a good cover.
yeah that's true. He honestly isn't acting that different than usual. People wouldn't be saying anything if he hadn't killed himself a few months after.
+Iesha - the Rome suicide attempt was 2 days after this and happened because he wanted to make love to Courtney after being apart for so long and she refused. Kurt had been so lonely on this tour and became paranoid Courtney was having an affair. After Kurt came out of the coma, his behavior in the final month led Krist to believe the overdose had left him with some kind of brain damage because he was truly a shell of his former self.
Being at this show would be so awesome. It was pre-internet, so you would have no idea what set they were about to play, and a Cars cover would be the last thing I'd expect them to open with.
I was dancing at a club in Germany to " Come as you are", we even made a circle holding hands in a trance. It was spontaneous, after a few more songs the DJ announced Kurt has died, apparently from suicide. Talk about a buzz killer.. I will never forget that dance, it's not like you dance in a circle every day, The first time actually. The Cars were in my car too, in CD form at this time.
Now I believe in my experience with not having many problems of my own and not knowing someone in any similar situation, I think Kurt's problems stem from blah blah blah look how smart I am I'm such a good person look how good and smart I am blah blah blah *doesnt listen to the music and just talks about this shit and leaves the vid*
@@Jojos25it’s not a bold statement. It’s a misinformed statement. Nirvana were great at their thing and had a tremendous influence on the shifting sound of “rock” music, but this doesn’t even come close to the original. It’s off key, the playing is monumentally sloppy and Dave’s timing is off. Should I go on?
Damn I wish high quality video and cell phone cameras had been around longer. Imagine all the great live performances from bands over the years we will never see. I’m glad this exists though. The person did a pretty good job considering
I love that they would cover this song and they do it great. I miss you, Kurt, you always knew what was really cool . I hope Ric Ocasek and you are having a good time with this upstairs.
People rip on his guitar playing but some of his songs are incredibly tricky to play and sing at the same time. “Come As You Are” is one example. The guitar riff and vocal melodies are on totally different rhythms.
It’s so much harder than people think. For instance, songs I’ve known the lyrics to for decades I cannot play and sing at same time. Maybe it’s because I have no talent and have to work hard for every song I can play. Maybe it’s just natural for some. But to me, it’s basically impossible. I can never be a front man and that kinda sucks.
I have loved nirvana since day one and have always loved the cars as well and knew how influenced kurt was by them, and I just realized after watching the 2018 rock and roll hall of fame, how much kurt looked like Ben Orr! Am i the only one who sees this? Both left handed bass/ guitar legends! RIP!
Man Kurt seemed happy. Nirvana as dysfunctional as it was then was also probably the best it ever was. Kris and Dave put in 3 years of work and finally emerged as song writers on Kurt’s level and stepped up in terms in music direction for the band. Kris being able to sing and play and Dave being able to sing lead really opened the future possibilities for them. Pat smear actually knowing how to play guitar and could figure out how to play cover song’s correctly was huge. His Gibson tones and Kurt’s fender sound made them sound huge. Kurt did it. He made the Beatles
I love when Kurt says "She's my best friend's girl", both Dave AND Krist are doing the backing vocals. It's like a full triangle between the three of them. And then Pat is just playing his guitar trying to get over his bronchitis.
Everytime I see Kurt, and Layne I see my brother. He was a heroin addict, everytime I see them in videos I can see that emptiness in their eyes, the same I used to see in my brothers. RIP Claudino, RIP Kurt, RIP Layne. :(
I hear this loud and clear. Dave Grohl is one of the more boring songwriters I’ve ever heard for my tastes. Sorry good folks, nothing that guy does moves me in the least, and I hear Foo Fighters at work constantly!! His music and his voice come off as generic to me. There’s no distinction or inflection that makes his voice unique. It’s a plain paper bag voice, if you will. I even saw them live by default because they opened for RHCP back in 2000. Never helped improve my opinion. I’m not saying they suck, or they’re a terrible band because they’re not and they most definitely pull it off, but they just tend to bore me with their predictability, simply put. It’s like I can always feel what’s coming next, tempo and chord changes and the like. When a band has that kind of predictable element to them, it turns me off instantly. I wanna be surprised and challenged by the music I listen to, not lulled into a sense of familiar comfortability. Basically, they play it safe and don’t ever really take any significant artistic risks to further their sound that lend to change. That’s my two cents, anywhose...
Weerd Munky I hear you. Thanks for the honest opinion. Maybe Im swayed by him and the band being very nice, approachable and so forth. I know relatives of the drummer Taylor and they have met all the guys. You would enjoy them I swear. Music wise I LOVE certain songs, I also HATE certain cuts that feature IMO screaming and nasty loud guitars. They have success and seem happy so Im glad for that.
@Weerd Munky I feel this way about every Foo record after Colour and the Shape. The music, vocals, and energy was excellent on the first two IMO. After that they fell sharp into bland dad rock mediocrity ever since. I know people love that material but it does absolutely nothing for me.
Props to the person who recorded this. Because, This was Nirvana' s last concert.

His last show and opened with the first song he learned. The circle closes.
the melvins also opened at this gig which definitely seems fitting as well.
He tried to learn stairway to heaven at first, but didn't actually get it down till a bit later.
I read it was back to black
Vivienne Chacaliaza it was Back in Black. He took lessons for a month and learned the song and didn’t continue the lessons.

Krist doing backing vocals?! Man, this is rare!
He is doing a pretty good job too, lol :D

This was the first song Kurt learnt to play on the guitar at age 14. Fitting that he played it on his last ever live show.
No sources anywhere corroborate this

And not an easy first song to learn - if true .

Nope

The first song Kurt ever learned to play. Long live Nirvana, Long live The Cars
WHO CARES
On guitar*** he used to play piano as a kid
Ya I think he got the leads wrong :P In his defense, he was about to off hisself.
He didn't learn how to play it properly or any of the solos.
I thought it was back in black?
This is just so great. Kurt had said in late 93 and early 94 that he saw Nirvana as a new wave band, and here's the group making good on that.
This cover is fun, raw & soulful. Nirvana had skills you can't teach.
I found out about this version on RUclips. It's better than I thought it would be. Excellent.
Kurt's look over at Krist at 1:20 just enjoying himself, so good to see , I really miss him

There were a few songs that they covered that they did for jokes, so you can't really consider the songs they covered to be immediately theirs.
You are 100% correct! I've always thought this EVERY time I heard them play a cover. It was ALWAYS better than the original.

Wish there were more moments like this!
Any Song Kurt attempted turned to Gold! He could do anything! Miss him 🔥

Better than the original? That's quite a bold statement. How bout just saying Kurt and Nirvana was great at what they set out to do. So were The Cars.
