Tori Amos — Smells Like Teen Spirit (Live At Montreux 1992)

Tori Amos: Live At Montreux 1992

[defacto]

Aside from the superb rendition, I'm amazed by the quality of the picture. This was 25 yrs ago and I would have been easily fooled if one told me it was yesterday.

[marcusrobinson]

I took a few extra red lights to make sure I heard it all on my way home. So good. So refreshing.

[samubabe]

Wow Her voice was Amazing. DAMN I MISS THE 90's

[staceyadams]

such great artistry and depth .. i mean she is 28 there .. truly an old soul

[riccardobruero]

Kurt Cobain knew Tori's version of this song, he loved it.

[anamaly]

a combination of two of my alltime favorite artists...couldnt ask for more

[mennobults]

Fantastisch. Origineel is prachtig, maar deze ingetogen versie is fenomenaal.

[inactiveacc]

Holy crap the quality here is incredible. thank you for uploading this.

[dsanchez]

Speachless upon this performance. Greatest cover I seen!

[stuartkeithguitars]

It's a tribute to a truly great song that it should be covered EVERY different kind of way. Man...this is WAY out there. I liked it enough to listen all the way through....that's saying something for it.

I think people like here just give another view of some cool songs. Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is awesome, but this cover is really good.
It shows that lyrics aren't just some bable, great work Kurt.

Can we also give a shoutout to the audience? I’ve seen a lot of Tori Amos live performance videos and the audience doesn’t know how to shut up most of the time!

[linmajon]

1992 and HD quality video?? Unbeleivable! (And no, this cannot be film. No grain and no speckles)

[NICOLENPOP]

just a fact to know
Roskilde Festival, 1992.
Before the show, Tori Amos’s cover of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was played over the PA. The band usually came out dancing to this song throughout mid-late, 1992.

Well, I don't know who she was looking at here 1:20, but what a lucky guy/girl...

[Nemo]

Oh my, this even delivers some darker atmosphere than the original

[UrbanGamer]

Absolutely stunning!
Her & the song :D

[johnmoncivais]

Turned an, in my opinion song, into a masterpeice..

[DBL]

Most of the people commenting on this video weren't even BORN in 1992.

As for the quality, if the original film is still available, this can easily be upscaled to 1080p quality. The TV airings and VHS copies are not able to do this, but the original footage can be used to upscale properly. This is how a lot of old movies get proper Blu-Ray releases, because the original footage was available to pull frames from.

@cutchyacokov
MTV: What did you think of the Tori Amos cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?
Cobain: Flattering.
MTV: Is it true that you and Courtney Love used to wake up and dance around to it?
Cobain: Yeah. We used to put it on every morning and have breakfast and dance around. We'd turn it up really loud and do interpretive dancing to it. It's good breakfast music.
