The fall of 91 was the best era for Nirvana in my humble opinion.
Your Nirvana covers are the best on RUclips in my humble opinion.
Agree.
Agreed! Especially with the paramount concert!
I was gonna say the same thing...
The fall of 90 for me, Leeds show 🥰
this version of Pennyroyal Tea is so unique
I totally agree....I absolutely LOVE this version of PENNYROYAL TEA....Kurt's guitar solo is mind-blowing!!!!
Yeah this one is good, it's more like Kurt/Dave's Pear Street boombox demo
4 days before the release of Nevermind?
Saw this show when I was 17 with fake ID! One of the best shows I've ever seen - and this is after working in clubs since the mid 90's and seeing thousands of bands play. So good.
that's fucking awesome man
Jealous. Must have been awesome
You lucky bastard.
yea and i went to the north pole and rode on santa's sleight
@@kidpoker9408 I'm not sure what a sleight is? But that sounds like quite a feat. Your mother must be super proud. Honestly bro. No sarcasm from me at all.
Saw them in fall of 91.
Some people comment ignorantly like.. these people didn’t even know what they were seeing. Like they knew. They weren’t even there. And oh yeah, I’d travel five hours to see them or get in a plane and go see him.
Stupid comments about we didn’t know. We knew the greatest music ever back then. We’d see Tool in small clubs. Kyuss, sound garden, janes addiction, Hole ( the we’re amazing before Nirvana .. thst witch was great ) smashing pumpkins al the best in small clubs and no one had cell phones. We just rocked out. We did t miss out on nothing back then. We lived !!
This video is a great example of how good the sound is at the Opera House. What was this shot on, one of those shoulder mounted VHS camcorders? The video isn't great but the sound is even, not too much of the high or the low. Pretty rare for a live show on video in the early 90s.
Much Music made a video as well, but except for a few shots they haven't released it.
@@Overlorddz I saw Erica Ehm a while ago and said we need that to be released! Michmusic has some serious Nirvana footage from that show and interveiws etc . They could releases their own box set of the stuff they have. I'm sure there's a lot of legal bs that prevents them from doing so...
This was recorded with a Sony CCD-V5000.
I was at this show.
Still have my ticket stub.
So Fucking Good...
Did anyone else notice Dave’s kick went out during teen spirit?
I can't believe Nirvana happened
I couldn't have said it any better
Won't you believe it, it's just our luck
Really really love how they performed Pennyroyal Tea here. Seemed like a great concert!
Nirvana was kind of like the Sex Pistols for the 90's they woke people up from bands like poison because most of it was boring.Nirvana brought back something new ,different and refreshing raw rock'n'roll back again.Now were back in a rut because of shit like Bieber,1direction.We need new bands like Nirvana to rid the music world of the garbage that's out there today.There is always hope.
STRATCAT101 you are definetely right BUT, the thing is ...internet, youtube itself, protools..etc nirvana is prior to that era. i talk to persons in their late 30s like me, (38) and Yes ..younger people are not interested in playing in rock bands, except that little niche of death metal and likes. this style of music belongs to a time, now its sad..only regaetton like pitbull, the most recycled pop ,rihanna,beyonce, katie perry,,i insist internet destroyed music , it is ironic. using youtube! lazy times
One of the very few shows with Dave's "Beat It" lyrics during Aneurysm
Always thought it sounds better live with his backing vocals in the chorus. I wish it had been done every show
i fucking love this version of pennyroyal tea
Looks like dave grohl pedal broke or something during smells like teen spirit. That's the first. After years of watching nirvana, 10 years later only to find out this
I was there. Got thrown out by security for openly taking speed.
Got kicked out of there in the 90s for shit like that too, up in the secret film projection room. Good memories lol.
Of course youe,...you all were there....dickhhead....
@@sebastiankrajewski2029 Yeah cuz we gotta lie to random people on RUclips....right? Dickhead.
@@sebastiankrajewski2029 My show was a rave and not a Nirvana show tho so I'll give you that.
I was there!
Really ?
Fuck, how I enjoy watching Nirvana concerts.
Does anybody else noticed how Grohl changed the drums in Teen Spirit refren?
Yeah, maybe his hi-hat broke.
Bass drum pedal broke I think
Maybe one of his limbs snapped
i totally caught that!
I came to the comments juuuust for this!
As a kid that knows the WHOLE Nervermind albume by heart from tape. That"s right...TAPE! I wish I was there.
I know my adult self would have been fucking drunk and kicked out late in the set.
One of the best bands ever!!
True
Saw this amazing show from the back row, because I’d gotten into a bicycle accident that morning and my left leg was covered in road rash. I remember people-watching a lot of fans who were dancing around in the flat upper area of the Opera House who looked like quite-unquote “normal” people (ie not regular punk/grunge kids). I said to my girlfriend who I came with, “hey does it look like to you like this band is going to become really massive, like Guns and Roses massive.” Hahaha.
There were a lot of "norms" upstairs because the record company gave out tickets, which is how I got in. ;) I'm not sure why anyone who commented above would have needed to get in with "fake ID". This show was "all ages". They were only serving alcohol upstairs.
@@Advokat_ it was carded. And they sold booze downstairs too. Look at the tickets 19+. images.app.goo.gl/doAs5yjxrtxngPLQ7
@@Advokat_ I wasn't at the show but every time I've been to opera house it's been 19+
I got to see them at the Gardens in 1993, and although It was one of my fondest memories of being a teenager, I gotta say, this concert had ten times the energy. Before Kurt got bogged down and married to the one woman in the world he should have stayed the hell away from.
we needed Nirvana in the 90s.
I don't think I could have said it better myself. This sound defined my teenage years.
We need it NOW!
SLTS solo amazing! 12:36
The Opera House has historically been known to book a lot of punk & extreme metal shows. & it's a good venue for them, especially the latter, as the sound there is good enough that it doesn't all turn to deafening mud...
The sound there is real good. Lots of rave parties happened there too.
My friends brother was a huge fan of Nirvana and saw them in Toronto.He had a Yardbirds t-shirt he wanted to give to Kurt,but he couldn't get close enough to the front to give it to him.
Yardbirds?
Whoah Dave is doing the backup vocals on Aneurysm like on the studio version, BEAT IT BEAT IT. this is really rare, I believe this is the only show he did this.
Argentina 1992 too!
@@ItzBadger. OK Hotel, Jan -91 too.
I know, right?! I wish his vocals had been higher in the mix here then they were, I always prefer the song with the backing vocals live.
BTW, the debut performance of Aneurysm from the Off Ramp has his vocals in the chorus as well, so does Argentina '92. These 3 versions are the only ones I've found where he actually does it.
Wow i saw the melvins there 6 years ago. Didnt know nirvana played there.. amazing
Nobody can sing like Kurt❤️
pure gold!🙌
+Ted Minett Holy cow, I was also 17 and got in with a fake ID. Thank god, because to this day, having seen 1000s of shows, this one still stands out as some of the fiercest rock n roll I've ever seen... Kurt was like a live wire.
It was dicey! I was so nervous in line. Getting a kick out of people on the thread saying it was all ages and that we are lying! I posted an image of the damn ticket lol
I love how SLTS was played on drums, Dave's drum pedal broke but he kept on playing on floor tom :)
Awesome performance! So full of passion and intensity! wish I could have been there!
57:00 true respect lol

I was at this show. Was about half way back off to the right a bit. Wild show and my first time seeing Nirvana. Was so loud my ears were ringing all weekend after that. Was well worth it though. Nirvana at their absolute best!
Lucky you!
@@VicDryson I do feel lucky, but mostly for what happened after the show. Didn't think anything of it at the time because they still weren't that big. Anyway, after the show my friend and I were standing in a doorway right beside the opera house. This was maybe 40 minutes after the show ended. Kurt, Krist and a couple other people came out the back side entrance(Dave wasn't there). We stepped out from the doorway and said "Killer show man that was great. Kurt walked over to us like he was going to punch me or something. I still remember the look in his eyes as I think he was high as a kite lol. He hugged me and kissed me on the neck! It was very strange and awkward and I never told anyone until later after they got huge and of course no one believes me lol. I don't care though, great memories.
@@neverenoughguitars8276 Wow, that's awesome story
Tambem acho a melhor.Esses shows ao vivo,mesmo com a qualidade ruim,sao bons.
I miss this so much.
My friends called me up to say they are going to Nirvana at the Opera House, I was like, uh.... who? They aren't Slayer. I passed on it. So fucking stupid. I missed one of the best shows ever. It was during this show that the band members learned that the album Nevermind was going to #1 and made Nirvana the biggest band in the world. Mindblowing, and I missed it! :(
Thats not true. The album came out 4 days after this show in the 24th of September. It went to number 1 in January of 1992.

Dave & Krist, they must look back and just think, wow, how did we play with Kurt?
Wow kurt is explosive and hot he is realy feeling it kurt knows how to rock this show is realy great ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧍♂️🎸
God, they were so fucking good. They were just so tight as a band. I'm stoked I lived thru this era. I was young. Just about 13 yrs old when Kurt passed and I remember being absolutely devastated. My mom didn't understand, she'd ask my why are you so upset over a singer? They/he wasn't just a band or singer to me. At that time in my life, I was going thru some shit. My parents had just divorced, my mom re-married. My step dad had 2 sons that lived with him, once we all moved in together, which we moved in with them, I had to leave all my friends and my step brothers just started beating me nearly everyday. My mom would ask why I had bruises all the time so I'd lie and say just playing at school. 1 I didn't want them to hurt me worse they had already taken a golf club to the back of my head and left me bleeding on the floor, woke up with blood all over me, the worst headache I've ever had and blurry vision and 2 my mom seemed happy so I didn't want to ruin that for her. Anyway, I felt so fucking alone and was very suicudal but the ironic thing was it was my oldest step brother who introduced me to Nirvana. So in a twist of fate I guess, the very person I wanted to get away from was the same person that introduced me to a band that for the first time in my life not feel so alone or so completely worthless. Nirvana gave me hope I guess you could say. I couldn't understand why it seemed like everyone hated me and just wanted to hurt me. Nirvana showed me I wasn't the only one. To this day my mom doesn't know what I went thru for 3 yrs and she's still married to the same guy. I'm glad I didn't say anything to her, she deserves to be happy. To this day Nirvana helps me feel okay. They helped me after my wife's suicide in June of '09 and helped me raise my two daughter's by myself. Sorry for the lengthy post, I am just so thankful for Nirvana and other fans like me. Much love and respect to you all.
It’s crazy what music can do. Hope you’re still alright
Life can be such a motherfucker. Cheers bud, hope you're well.
Beautiful, my friend. You're a good man )))
Sharing a drink with ya 🎶
Wow, sorry you went through that shit. A lot of people were in the same boat or had some type of problem that they just couldn't share. Nirvana was there for us all!
Kurt especially, he found a way to put it all out there... In doing so giving the rest of a way of accepting ourselves for who and what we were/are.
He was/is a legend.
RIP Kurt ✌🤘👑💖
notice how dave plays smells like teen spirit completely different. playing on the toms in the chorus. so different!
I remember seeing them getting interviewed at Muchmusic, Kurt was so annoyed at the Questions being asked, he fell off his chair to get outta the interview. I was 11. I didnt know who Nirvana was at the time, im looking at this blonde dude.......Im like this guy is like a James kinda bad ass, hes gonna be a rock star i thought. I could feel the energy.
I can't even believe this exists!! Thank you for uploading!!
If Kurt was still active, he would have create a lot of pure and perfect creations. Fock !
Hahaha. Kurt messed up the lyrics on Aneurysm. He also messed up some guitar spots. Love his authenticity ❤
Surreal to not hear the crowd go nuts when they start into teen spirit. 4 days before nevermind was released and 4 days before the world was changed forever. In 91 I was very aware of Nirvana don't get me wrong, but as far as the average music fan being aware of them at that time, they weren't from what I can remember. Pretty cool to see this piece of documented history. I saw them live in my hometown of Cincinnati in '89 and was completely besides myself. They were that good live. I even got to smoke a cig with and give kurt krist and Chad high fives after the show. There's an audio interview with them right after the show on RUclips and I was standing right there with them smoking a cigarette. This happened at murphys pub in Cincinnati Ohio in 1989. They were all such cool dudes to talk to. What I'd give to be 22 again.
They got big quick, I got the Nevermind cassette from a cousin for Xmas in 91 when I was 6 lol. I had to sneak listening to it cause my parents were lame. Crazy music like this reached even youngins in small town Ontario, Canada.
@@bobby_c07 Just curious, I know you were just six and probably don't remember much from that time, but would you happen to recall if that cassette had Endless Nameless on it?
Thank you for this!
dave conduzindo smells like teen spirit no surdo foi foda
This in reference to the comment that Larry Sizemore posted on here. You seriously think that Nirvana is just a really good ‘rip off’ cover band?! I mean, c’mon for chrissakes! Can’t get over how many of you haters are out there when it comes to Nirvana. Hell, however much doubt is out there on how great they
How amazing the crowd to lift the prince of Grunge " & protect him from any harm as he crowd surfs .🏄♂️🎸
So much crazy energy during Teen Spirit, it's intense!!!
at this stage they where starting to get popular ,Nevermind not released yet ,kurt landlord emptied his apt for non rent payment,around this era
Pennyroyal Tea was the best.
Something In the Way
It’s insane to this that they performed at the opera house, a relatively small venue! Goes to show you how far they came so quickly :,)
This was a month before Nevermind was released.
@@leoantonio yeah i know it’s in the title, my point was it’s crazy how popular they got so quickly
You guys are getting tight!
Woah, thanks for posting this! I was at that concert!!! and oh it was a beautiful thing.
Dude, awesome sound on this recording!
47:00 Been a Son... not 27:00
Just heard Dave say this was the day Nevermind was released.
I've always been so ambivalent about Nirvana's success. On the 1 hand, it brought their music to fans all across the world & enriched millions of lives.
But I can't help thinking that, had Kurt not gotten so famous so quickly, he'd still be here today makin music at a more modest scale. The hardcore fans would've gotten to see him musically mature & evolve. Courtney probably wouldn't have married him. Which would've been better for him from a mental health standpoint. We would have a legacy of excellent music; a John Lennon or Neil Young for Generation X, a generation with relatively few rock n roll heroes. Some critics call Kurt "the Last Rock Star" (which he probably would've hated). But they might have a point. What rock artist in the wake of Kurt has managed to define the zeitgeist? Jack White? He's excellent, but he's just an artist with a sizeable cult, not a superstar. Josh Homme? Same deal, basically. Nobody has come along and tapped the culture's mainline like Kurt. Is there even any rock n roll in the Billboard charts in 2019? I don't follow the top 40, but I doubt it. As a mainstream force, if rock ain't dead, it's inna coma. But, if it IS dead, I believe it shall one day rise from the grave to eat the brains of, I dunno... Rihanna? Ed Sheeran? Taylor Swift? Whomever, rock n roll's rotting corpse will run amok on the charts again eventually...
Paul Snider damn straight
Well said.
Did anybody reading through these comments see this Nirvana show at the Opera House?
If so, what are your memories?
I can see the back of Lee's Palace and the Dance Cave from my front window, I remember back in the 90s they had a list of past shows including Nirvana. I think it was also in 1991.
When I finish my Saturday morning coffee, I'll check and see if it's actually still there.
According to the site livenirvana, they played Lee's on 16 April 1990.
The RUclips sites LiveNirvana, Mr Nirvana 12, and Nirvana Archive all seem to have the audio from the Lee's Palace Show.
Unfortunately it's just the audio for all three.
Does anybody know why RUclips stopped letting people post websites in the comment section? I know a lot of people have said people were posting advertising websites, but I PERSONALLY never was interrupted by any advertising compared with the ANNOYANCE of not being able to post websites. Anybody else feel this way?
I was there. Primed up at Pape station. Was awesome.
Krist Novoselic 16:20 - Said... are good friends
yes they are good friends i think novoselic like a brother to kurt .true respect and attention.
He is the king of grunge
So far no dislikes! Good job! (^__^)
Haha Dave puts his leg on top of the Bass Drum while they work on it, mid-song, doesn't miss a beat. That's cool
"im worst at what I do best and for this gift I feed bears"
does anybody notice how Grohl is playing the floor Tom as the bass drum in teen spirit? he must of smashes his bass drum skin
Yeah I noticed, but I wonder why he choose to do that, I could understad during the verse but in the chorus I dont really get it? Wouldnt it sound better with hi-hat and no bass drum?
@@Saam41 No you gotta have that bottom end that can be compensated by the floor Tom
Kurt playing a Strat here. Interesting. His other guitar had issues it seems.
The Jagstangs would never stay in tune
The timestamp of been a son in the description is wrong, it will be great if you could fix it ;)
That was a great show! I was there, and it was so good. I think I have my ticket stub somewhere too. No cell phones, no internet and no BS.
House
49:28 Something In the Way
Im one of the hoppers up front! 1st Nirvana show and the best! Seen them again Nov. 93 at the gardens and in 6mos Kurt was dead and never to return! R.I.P grunge and its Greats!
12:36 sick
missed this one but got my chance in 93 at molson park.
very lucky to have seen layne and kurt perform that hot bastard of a day:-)
+Adam Oldershaw
? They didn't play in Molson Park. But they were supposed to play there in 1994, for Lolla.
Too bad Nirvana didn't play Molson Park, in '93, eh? Fucking poseur
@@APisceanSlant who let you off the shortbus
endless nameless is the best !!
Far best version of Aneurysm , totally avangarde.
Awesome! Floyd the Barber! I was 5 years old back then but I would have loved to see them live.
Love this band
I was only 7 years old then & no way my parents would let me go
3:05 looks like guitar playback to me
looks like you need glasses
Now that’s a fucking crowd!
late 91 Nirvana was the BEST EVER
