0:35 - Something about how clear as a bell he sang this line is really hitting different rn. Like I'm not used to Kurt singing something so cleanly, it really shows how strong a foundation for singing he had. RIP
1:26 - I remember downloading a 5 second quicktime movie of that riff in 1996. Took 2 hours to download and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'm 97 years old.
The screenshots of this concert should be used as image reference to the term 'lightning in a bottle'. This is a perfect concert perfectly captured at a perfect time in the history of a particular movement.
I think this performance made Bleach songs sound much better than they usually do live. The drums sound full and resonant, the mixing is done well, bass is maybe a little too quiet, but otherwise it sounds great.
That’s because bleach they made for fun, rather then being pressured into making it. They also had a different drummer at the time, chad Channing, who I think was really important to launching the band to success. I’ve met him irl he’s really nice very humble
The Senate don’t forget, Dale played Floyd, Paper Cuts, and Downer. Also they didn’t make Bleach for fun, they made it to put themselves on the scene. That’s why it’s so heavy and grungy in comparison to the next two (3, if you consider Incesticide).
He did that a lot and it always sounds so damn good. I always thought if he lived he certainly would have went in a direction that we saw on unplugged. I think he would have excelled at that even more than he did the heavy stuff. We have all missed out on so much great music. Very sad.
[Verse 1] I need an easy friend I do, with an ear to lend I do think you fit this shoe I do, but you have a clue [Chorus] I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night free (I do) [Verse 2] I'm standing in your line I do hope you have the time I do pick a number too I do keep a date with you [Chorus] I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night free [Verse 3] I need an easy friend I do, with an ear to lend I do think you fit this shoe I do, but you have a clue [Chorus] I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night No, I can't see you every night... Free [Outro] I do I do I do I do
The chorus is actually the I need an easy friend and the chorus repeats as an alternative chorus with the I’m standing in your line. You can tell because of the instrumental. This is what made Kurt such a genius. That’s why this song is so poppy it’s essentially the same thing over and over again but with the grunge overtones
@@tristan702 I brought their first cd, I got into them, as I like grunge,went to see them in Manchester uk, for first time and realised one thing, he cant sing mate...it felt forced and fake,I stopped liking them after that performance.
0:00 - 00:10 wow amazing notice how at the beginning Kurt is playing about a girl bit too fast, then dave Grohl subtly slowed the drumming down so Kurt could play slower and IT Actually worked! 😄 also beautiful how Dave made the drumming slower and each time Kurt strummed his guitar it got slower and slower then the whole band got in sync!
one of my favorite Nirvana songs. Kurt Cobain was a great singer, song writer, artist. He expressed his pain with his music. sadly, he couldn't escape his pain. the creative ones are often the most troubled.
Nirvana é como a cura para meus problemas, como um refugio onde me escondo dos meus medos e monstros internos; Kurt, Krist e Dave, eu amo voces eternamente.
Considered Kurt Cobain's first great pop composition, it is said to have been written and recorded at home, after the musician spent an entire night listening to the album Meet The Beatles from the late eighties, Cobain sought to hide his intentions to write pop music, since he was afraid of dividing the band's fans with a sound different from grunge and the underground, he considered it to be something risky for the time.
this is the best About a Girl performing imo. mostly for the 1:18 part, here it soundo so powerful and hard but sweet and fun at the same time, with the perfect audio quality and the camera just makes it better. Not Mtv, not Bleach recording. This one hits so different
You wouldn't want to auto-tune this -- you simply don't auto-tune grunge. But on another note, Kurt's voice was not amazing; he had horrible technique, and he knew it. It was perfect for his needs, but closer to the end he'd been warned again and again that he'd destroy his vocal if he kept on the way he did.
@@Gipsy_T. I hate to be that guy, but About a girl was on Bleach that was released in 1989. And I think autotune was first used in 97? But ignoring that, I totally agree with you! (not being sarcastic)
@@mr.executioner5150 por un lado tienes toda la razón. La del unplugged fue de las mejores en vivo. Pero me refería a que esta quizá sea la mejor versión en vivo no acústica. PD. Me dio pereza escribir en ingles jaja
Despite the fact that the song sounded good and everyone in the band liked it, Cobain didn't want to include it in the first album, as being a pop song, he was afraid of disappointing punk and underground fans However, the producer of the album Bleach included it, and without making much noise, it went unnoticed until its performance on MTV Unplugged in 1993, where it later became one of their most distinctive songs and allowed Nirvana to become a popular band beyond the grunge genre. At the beginning of MTV Unplugged, Kurt himself mentions before starting the song that it was one of his first songs, but not everyone had it in mind. Kurt originally composed the song for his girlfriend Tracy Marander, who had mentioned to him the fact that he had never written a song for her before. However, due to the problems they were going through in their relationship, Kurt never told her that it was inspired by her, and Tracy Marander only found out in 1988 when she read the band's biography written by Michael Azerrad.
Fue y es un genio maestro 🥺❤️🤗 tienes un enorme talento maestro ❤️🥺🥺👌, te admiro mucho kurt ❤️👏👌👌 👏 simplemente el mejor, que hermoso cantas y tocas maestro 🥺❤️🤗 👏👌 eres grande.🥺❤️❤️👏👌👌👏❤️
Corn Nuts I think that was the camera man’s doing. Lol! Performing barefoot was like a trademark for them. They did it a lot. If you watch a lot of their live videos, you will notice it 😀
this is in my opinion the best live version of this song, the voice of kurt is incredible
PJo09 unplugged in new york 1994 MTV, there was the best version of this but it’s your opinion ;)
@@maty476xd i love the way you treated his opinion :D this is my favourite live version too i love the emotions here. Unplugged is good too but i like this raw feeling more. It touches my heart... She still hurts man
I'd say this is the best "full-out" version of this song. Unplugged version is in a class of its own.
And guitar tone
And the growling/soothing bass and amazing drums🤤🤤🤤
I was 16 when this came out, I'll never forget it. Great time.
you mean the DVD or the Bleach album?
suhijo I’m guessing the album
So youre 46 now ? Man you have lived a awesome time for music
I was 4 and can't remember when it came out. I remember hearing it for the first time when I was 14 and loved it.
I was about the fucking same I am 43, I was in communist China back then
0:35 - Something about how clear as a bell he sang this line is really hitting different rn. Like I'm not used to Kurt singing something so cleanly, it really shows how strong a foundation for singing he had. RIP
Yes I love when he does clean vocals, he does it in the last chorus of Lithium from this concert and it's super cool to hear. He had a great tone.
Live and Loud it’s almost like he knows his time is up . For me that is the best nirvana performance , I’m
Sure it helped knowing MTV were there
Here to refresh my ears from the Puddle Of Mudd cover
Caelan Ferguson same
Yea I'm here to hear what Kurt does with his voice. Because he doesn't sound like he's shitting himself.
Ditto
Nice pallette cleanser, I dont think Puddle Of Mudd are that bad just a terrible choice of song if you cant hit, well any of the notes.
Same
1:26 - I remember downloading a 5 second quicktime movie of that riff in 1996. Took 2 hours to download and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'm 97 years old.
Right on.
Yeyeye
Aw man you are old, im 92 btw
look at all these young whippersnappers, 122 here
im 900
This video really shows how much effort Kurt puts into his vocals.
And he made it seem effortless.
hes hittin high high notes so effortlessly holy shit
This whole concert is a legit masterpiece
It does seem like they were in a perfect spot here. About to be super famous, but not having to deal with all that shit yet.
Agreed. It's perfect.
OMG HES BACK
Agreed!!
I will never get bored of these songs.
Ya got that right!
Sameeeeee. I can only listen to this live version of these songs. No studio versions
Cuz these songs are masterpiece. Such bands will be in hearts of generations. 🔥
0:25 Great shot of Kurt
The screenshots of this concert should be used as image reference to the term 'lightning in a bottle'. This is a perfect concert perfectly captured at a perfect time in the history of a particular movement.
This concert and the gig they did at the Paradiso were Nirvana at their peak for me.
I think this performance made Bleach songs sound much better than they usually do live. The drums sound full and resonant, the mixing is done well, bass is maybe a little too quiet, but otherwise it sounds great.
😔👌🏼
The fact that KC is playing it on a humbucker pickup (like in the original records) also has an importance in thickening the sound.
That’s because bleach they made for fun, rather then being pressured into making it. They also had a different drummer at the time, chad Channing, who I think was really important to launching the band to success. I’ve met him irl he’s really nice very humble
The Senate don’t forget, Dale played Floyd, Paper Cuts, and Downer. Also they didn’t make Bleach for fun, they made it to put themselves on the scene. That’s why it’s so heavy and grungy in comparison to the next two (3, if you consider Incesticide).
@Elizabeth that was just for the music videos though right? Or did he write the drumming for it as well cause I don’t think he drummed it in the album
I absolutely love how you can see Kurt pouring his heart and soul into his music in his facial expressions
Love those yodels he does, all these small vocal quirks that makes this man so unique
He did that a lot and it always sounds so damn good. I always thought if he lived he certainly would have went in a direction that we saw on unplugged. I think he would have excelled at that even more than he did the heavy stuff. We have all missed out on so much great music. Very sad.

some of nirvanas best songs we played in paramount, man I wish I could have been at there
I came here after Puddle of mudd's version, just make the world a better place again.
Skinnyjean there was a time when Puddle could actually perform this song well. That time has definitely passed.

I had to as well😂😂
That was god awful
We thank you Tracy Marander for giving us this song!
Yeah thanks Tracy
Tracy is great!
Love your videos, btw.
And The Beatles, don't forget he woetr this listening to the Meet The Beatles album
who’s tracy?
The shot when the song ends is absolutely stunning
We can see how much Kurt Cobain was living his own songs. He put his soul in his performance... miss him. Great artist.

Fascinating. The best voice ever.
Another day another jam. And funnily enough, every time I pick up my guitar I play this song first.
Love this show. Kurt's voice is raspy-sexy-smooth.
amazing voice. no auto-tune required.
El auto-tune es más de estos tiempo,y la voz de Kurt no requería nada de efecto alguno,era sorprendente
@Other TechLead the autotune was created in 1998, nevermind is from 1991 it is not possible
You wouldn't want to auto-tune this -- you simply don't auto-tune grunge. But on another note, Kurt's voice was not amazing; he had horrible technique, and he knew it.

There are 2 types of usual comments here :
1. We miss and we love Kurt.
2. Who came here after the infamous cover made by the Puddle of Mudd guy?
Best live performance of About A Girl , in my opinion.
Fun fact: the puddle of Mudd version is used by the military all over the world as a torture method.

No I couldn’t stop laughing at it
🤣🤣🤣
That is true.
Underrated
today 33 years of this show!

So perfectly in sync crazy good.
Damn,this song sounds so good with headphones on cranked all the way up! Excellent performance of About A Girl!
