All musicians should be like Kurt. Not showing off. Not caring if he plays badly. Just enjoying the music he is making. 

[SeahawksBamBamKam]

This performance of Smells Like Teen Spirit smells like its on Speed.

[michaelax]

Kurt you are frozen in time at age 27..
Its hard to believe next month you would've been 51yrs.old
Your missed more then I could ever find the right words to express....
It's 2018 kurt and your music remains and influences musicians to this very day!

[Foot_Sandwich]

What a live vocal performance. One of the best of all time.

[charlieburnham]

Its weird watching this, because, remember, Kurt was 24 at this time. Its strange thinking that all the 24 year olds I know are all just dumb kids who are still naive, but here Kurt plays with such raw emotion and has some dark wisdom that you forget he's pretty much still a kid, or a very young man. To me especially though, since he hasn't been alive in my lifetime, he seems also like a legend or hero because in my world he never really existed and these songs are just kind of things left behind. It might sound a little bit corny, but its why he has such an impact on me because I often forget that this is just a young man playing a guitar and not some kind of myth or fantasy hero. In short- Kurt is cool, go Nirvana.

How the hell does he play bass so well when the thing is literally by his knees?


7 Year Update: Been practicing for the better part of a decade now. After sewing two straps together, I think I'm getting close.

[CRaZYMaN-rrzz]

that bass line at the beginning with the drums is so dank.
👌
and also the "WHITE BOY FUNK SUCKS". LMAO

[marywollstonecraft]

my heart hurts watching this.. maaan.. I wish I could see them live at least once...

[SpiderWireless]

Krist's bass solo beginning at 0:23 is from Archie Bell & The Drells' ''Tighten up''.

[melissawells]

David has to be one of the greatest drummers!!! U feel it in your soul....

[xXDezaDXx]

One of the best concerts ever. I just wish I was born earlier. Always wished i could've seen them live

[hobbitpsi]

Fun Fact:  Kurt hated this song so much after playing it so much that they usually played it this fast or faster just to get it over with.

[Rippersauc]

This in my opinion is the best concert, because the fact that there wasn't any fails in all the songs they performed, they got all the songs, and the notes perfectly with no stutters, or Kurt being high. Not saying that they suck on all the other concerts, just saying that they were perfect in this one.

[SeahawksBamBamKam]

I bet if you asked 10 Million Grunge Rock fans about this Show about half a Million of them would tell you they were at this show.

[XYGENgone]

They sounded great live.... RIP ROCK MUSIC it will never be the same as the 90-2000s era.

[KendrickLacannabis]

Not a cell phone to be seen in the audience... Fuck I really miss those days...

[MrParij]

И никакого черного пиара, заказных статей, ложной популярности, скандалов, продюсерских ухищрений - только гитара, чувства и драйв. Одним словом живая музыка.

[ninyocastillio]

[chummyboye]
