[TheLaurentCobain]

the best version that i've heard in my life ..

[MrTschohannes]

@TheLaurentCobain dito! 

[PearlJammer07]

Never heard this show. I have been a fan since 2000. I have heard quite a few bootlegs of Nirvana too. Cannot wait for the remastered edition of Nevermind to come out.Will be nice to hear Butch Vigs mixes of the album. As they were raw as fuck. The way Kurt and the band wanted the album to sound in the first place.

[ser89ers]

[ser89ers]

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

it's sound like only drums and and voice

[865djkc]

I love to kill ZomBieS!

[odiumimbues]

drain you in my opinion is neverminds best song. its the song i find myself playing the most and listening to the most and the melody is intricate with the same 4 chord simplicity as smellsl ike teen spirit.

however the entire album is great.. I think he truly harmonized rythm, melody and music on in utero in a more intricate way.. which makes him closer to the ranks of beethoven and other greats.

nevermind was harmonized but simple.

[ser89ers]

@odiumimbues beethoven...

[maidenfreak213]

i love this version of drain you. the tempo, kurt's singing. its just so awesome even though u can barely hear the bass haha regardless thanks for the upload

[11Deathpuppy11]

Kurt would have thought I was cool and tryed 

To hang out with me .Then he would have got on my nerves.

[pot4tots]

@11Deathpuppy11 haha your such a fuckin hermo go listen to fall out boy you furby fat ass motherfucker

[spaceorbison]

@11Deathpuppy11 Kurt didn't like idiots. True story.

[copter7777]

Brilliant..

[ivanks1000]

que bonita voz,,,tenias cabron,,,a hora que me hago mas viejo te extraño masyyma ,,,,,aguante kurt cobain,,,,,,,muerte a kourney love

[MrsKoffer]

i guess you people know more about kurt cobain than he knew

[jesse2952]

ya in standard tuning maybe...hey mexicanseadude, are u sure it was a full step or half a step?? i think it was half step, unless my idea of a half step is actually a full step...i hope i havent had it all wrong the time ive been playin haha

[mdgarmager]

I was at this show! a life changing experience! I still have a piece of the bass drum that was destroyed.

[FooFighterFix]

just what i was looking for, thnx for the upload

[wiiplay112]

Amazin voice

[ser89ers]

yeah that starting pitch gives me goosebumps...

[nirvomind]

thank you !!

[RottedCzech]

0:17 Kurt ate mic. :D

[scubaduba23]

would be better if the tape wasnt sped up a bit.

[MexicanSeadude]

i dont think its sped up, they played this song in a standard tuning for 1991, the studio version was a full step down

i think this version is awesome imo

[Jagstang67]

I don't think it is either either. 1991 was the most common for this tuning which was was usually decently fast and really great. the half step is just as great, but tendened to make me feel more emotional on a different level. you probably get what i mean

[derdudeisda]

yeah but i think this was hard for kurt to sing^^

[eatmyfun]

cool selection of photos =)

[clarkthegentlemen]

LOL like kurt would a fuck wat any of you have to say

[HotrodEvil]

I was at this show.

[guilhermecarneiro1]

cool, tell us more about it

[ChrisB798]

@HotrodEvil  So was to bad that was on of the few shows of them I got to see and was high off my ass that night

[Carinata64]

a world without labels...that's nirvana...kurt rocks...rip....

[guilhermecarneiro1]

kurt and courtney are finally together :)

[logitech4sam]

i think your a bit late...

[guilhermecarneiro1]

u didnt understand moron. I mean that they were together after this gig

[logitech4sam]

Hahaha. "kurt and courtney are finally together" haha. What is this. a fucking ok magazine.

Piss off if you going to have a go. Prick.

[guilhermecarneiro1]

Hey, you're stupid. Kurt and Courtney did a nice match, thats why i told that. But, as you're retarded, you didnt get it. Actually i work in magazines, im jornalist.

[logitech4sam]

I wish you dead. NOW.

[guilhermecarneiro1]

i wish you to suck my balls

[logitech4sam]

GAY

[guilhermecarneiro1]

youre the kind of person kurt would hate

[logitech4sam]

HAHAHAHA.

you're a fucking idiot. I couldn't give a shit if Kurt would hate me or not. I think you're the kind of fucking dillusional asswhole who kurt would hate. BUT, he is dead mate, so luckily for both of us, we're never going to meet him.

FUCKING IDIOT.

[guilhermecarneiro1]

no, kurt would hate you because he was a smart guy. Everyone whos smart have big issues to deal with. As youre a stupid homophobic racist piece of shit, he would hateyou, the same as everyone who have brains. What is asswhole anyway? You mean asshole? I know how to speak your language better than you. Moron

[guilhermecarneiro1]

buy the way, im not gay, i just want fuck everything i see, and that includes vegetables, fruits, animals, you, and your mamma :)

[narutoprower]

well you know how kurt feels about journalists......

[ResistanceRM]

when did she died?

[Andre232323232332323]

it was he idiot lol

[ResistanceRM]

yeah i knew but i thought courtney has just died

[HELLWINKLE]

was there

[mascotsandmugs]

what about john bonham??? xD

[67HeartShapedBox94]

Nice pics! =)

[violentaddiction123]

bass drums sound so sick

[cyanbluesky]

the melody is lika a pop song to me... excuse me plz for my comment

[samurai5625]

I would have loved to go to this show had I not been 5 years old at the time

[andywarstar]

songs that have no sound at all are the best. the sound of silence. that's why kurt is dead, so he could be the song

[Jagstang67]

just how wasted were you when you wrote this? nothing like nirvana on a different plain. Plus 1 my brother~

[mongoliancarrot]

Best version is the one on french TV. It's incredible

[gerbilstar]

The live and loud and the french TV are my favorites. :)

[Mel0019]

there is no bass...i wonder if they knew it? maybe krists amp went out or something...not fond of this version but the "live and loud" one fron 93 is flipping awesome

[gerbilstar]

Yeah, I like that one too.

[rckstrscott]

this is a soundboard recording from metro-- metro is a bass heavy room, bass carries really well.. so the bass probably wasn't running through the soundboard very much at all.. if you were in the room, bass was loud as shiz im sure, it always is

[chevyvan10]

his vocals were ON that night

[dustin2006]

the drums sound amazing. too bad the bass (if there's any) and guitar are ridicously quiet.

haha, sounds like a pop version of drain you.

[cms331]

on99

[AnthemofTenKCries]

its not pop its frickin grunge

[GabeCure94]

Actually it is pop. The pop genre stretches very long from styles. its both pop and grunge

[clos289]

no... its just grunge... nirvana comes nowhere near pop. grunge grunge grunge =]

[shocktrooper327]

Cobian himself had said that a lot of his songs were pop. Pop isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[pot4tots]

@shocktrooper327 pop had a very different meaning back then now it refers to a sound and "style" not a commentary on the popularity of the music

[shocktrooper327]

@pot4tots No it didn't. Pop means popular. That's where the word comes from. Also, the pop music scene wasn't very different than it is today. Madonna was no better than Lady Gaga. New Kids on the Block were no better than the Jonas Brothers. And Nickelback is just as stupid and disposable as any of the hair metal bands that were still kicking in the early 90's. All of the above are more about 'style' than music.

[MexicanSeadude]

@shocktrooper327

exactly, the mainstream will always just be that.

sure bands like "Nirvana" will come along and try to change it, but the mainstream radio and tv has always been shit

why people try and change it is beyond me, its the way its been (look at the 80's) and its the way it will always be (my chem, whoop dee doo)

underground has always been the way to go for me

just happens nirvana got dragged into the mainstream

[Watch4]

@shocktrooper327 But this is Nirvana. Nirvana didn't sound like shit from those other artists, yet Nevermind and some Bleach songs are considered "Pop" songs. They were different in this little era of the 90s, then after about 95 or so all that went away and it suddenly became okay again to be commercialized.

[pioughd87]

grunge is a word the record industry latched onto so they could sell music more easily. The word grunge is actually contradictory to the honesty and passion Nirvana played with. Nirvana is band that played pop music in a way that no one had ever thought of before, and for that, they are great.

[vjurkus]

it was underground genre that nobody ever heard of called grunge. then Nevermind came out...That was the end of that. It became mainstream and pop. Something that Kurt hated...

[georgiarican1]

nooooo dude dont even say that lol

[aaaron999]

his voice was goddamn.one fuckin angel gave it to him when he was young and don t know anything about life.that were nice times

this mix kinda sucks

maybe my english is a little shit

[barneyscousin]

sounds like theres no bass

[bigpencap]

[subwaysfan]

best nirvana song ever.

[phantomhunter5000]

all tme favorite song by anybody.this song means so much to me.Great peformance

[PearlJammer07]

Is this a soundboard recording. Kinda light sounding doesn't have that punch some other Soundboards do. I will learn how to remaster these things and post my remasters one day. This is a cool show though. I will have to find the mp3's for this and download.

[theman4455245]

Yeah... there is hardly any guitar or bass in the mix. Interesting at times but aggravating most the others...

[carbooey]

This has to be one of the best live drain you's I've ever heard. His voice is amazing.

[janibean]

it kinda doesn't sound like kurt...

[inthegreenhouse]
