Nirvana - Sappy Live 16/2/94 LAST PRESENTATION

[cothukoba]

He was so young!!! F***...why nobody didn't stop him

[MegaMandrake99]

hey you nirvana champions, I'm trying to remember a nirvana rare song...I only vaguely remember it but it's something about hollywood, a chromatic riff from E to F# G G# can anyone hook me up?

[Lamefunday]

@MegaMandrake99 "The money will roll right in"? 

[iamthewalrus604]

we should be talking about the good moments in kurt!! not the negative!! IT MAKES ME MUCH MORE DEPRESSED ABOUT THIS SONG THINKING ABOUT HIS DEATH!!! SO LETS THIN ABOUT HIS LIFE PLEASE!! I BEG OF U!!! NIRVANA 4EVER

[percypiggle6]

everyone loved kurt but himself D:

[maacrocker]

Quizas el peor pecado de un artista es el no reconocer que lo es... el admirar una obra que jamas lograra hacer... pero que ha llegado a mejorar

[brunobb1]

for me this song is about a woman that has a bad relationship with a guy. The guy doesn't care about her, only for his personal need but she likes him so she prefers trying to fool herself into thinking that she is happy with their relationship but in reality she is sad. Sad+Happy= Sappy

[MrAkz77]

will never stop wishing he was still here.

[tiagocalloni1984]

m uito bom kurt e o cara

[mrxdrumxguitar]

Its better to burn out than to fade away...

[RollingPeople97]

This blew me to pieces first time i heard this recording on Outcesticide 4 ages ago!! Does anyone share my love for this track??

[W78516]

Kurt was small. Good thing he had two great friends acting as self appointed bodyguards. :) What's that line people used to say. Good things come in small packages.

[TheLucascobain]

ao vivo ele sempre fazia umas loucura no solos hahahahahaha

[livedetih23]

theres a fine line between thinking and knowing with that being said id like to thank kurt for his i dont give a fuck attitude and his pov on his own sappy ness luv and fuk ur slef because im happy with the fact that i lost my mind many times and my wallet many more in the simpleist terms i know your rights when i found my friends there in my head fudge packing crack smoking satan worshiping mother fuckers

[FraserIsBetterThanYu]

1:43 is SO HIPPIE

[Sneatio]

There is no question that he was suicidal... He told this many times by himself. And if you really know people who have so strong depressions that they will kill themself, than you know that they can smile like it's nothing and the next day they are dead. this is like it happen. sadly. But stop with this shit that he was not suicidal and that somone else has killed him... No real evedence for murder. I have also read the Bullshit from Tom Grant this stupid man. He has no real evidenceZero! R.I.P

[RiftBlak]

The last recording was actually on 2/25/94, Get your stats right.

[StraightPunkEdge93]

Holy fuck this was recorded on my first birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aziepmr]

cacad

[yanteroses]

mierda

[kevinskates13]

He always had suicidal thoughts. He was always sad. (Manic depression)

[TheHightime]

@kevinskates13 manic depression is bipolar dissorder, if he was bipolar then he'd have highs and lows, not depressed all the time

[crimsondevil2245]

@TheHightime didn't kill himself 

[PivotMakeranimations]

@kevinskates13 everyone that knew kurt said he was funny, you cant be funny if ur always depressed

[lukegrungenirvana]

@PivotMakeranimations so you don´t know any depressed person..

[crimsondevil2245]

@kevinskates13 He was obssesed with death since a child he made a home movie and didn't klll himself though he became happier when his daughter came into light but his wife would hardly ever let him hold her taken from the documentary Kurt and Courtney

[MrTschohannes]

i thought. nirvana played the song in milan on the 25th of february '94 for the last time?

[NinjaCowboyMatt7]

why do people bother fighting over whether kurt was killed or commited suicide?Everyone should just appreciate his music and stop talking about that shit. Even if courtney did have him killed id say she got hers anyway, I mean look at her for christ sake, shes barely alive. love thgis song soooo much!!

[jtdonner1]

@NinjaCowboyMatt7 Because he has a daughter.

[Malagarules]

The first time I heard this song many years ago I was like wow it sounds amazing, I had never heard sappy before, this was 10 years ago, I bought the elements bootleg cd. As for the lyrcis..you'll never know... very deep.. hapiness...

[toddpatrick1]

man i love nirvana and the song is about a a animal or insect in a jar Kurt went for the music. first try using his hellish wall of electric sound then put some lyric's watch "season'"s in the sun video with Kurt drumming listen to his insertion of words so chill out on analyzing his words and enjoy the sound.

[toddpatrick1]

[MrStalyn]

According to LN this is not the last presentation of sappy.

[Vincentquebecois]

the solo is crap

[kreeepyy]

Love it! Nirvana is surely the best band when it comes to performing live! They were really good at the studios and fuckin awesome on the stage!!

[kreeepyy]

[rasputozen]

I feel like kurt was talking about the evil part of himself in this song.

[rama9609]

@rasputozen The song is about the happiness, i don't think that

[rasputozen]

so haunting

[maipful]

one of the best song

[Kyrzak12]

and if you kill yourself lol he says cut in the studio version I prefer kill : )

[tallguy1011]

i was unaware there were 16 months in a year

[Kyrzak12]

@tallguy1011 lol good one XD its the 16th of the second month in case you are serious : ) Because I think in english the numbers for dates arent in the same order as in my language ( french )

[tallguy1011]

@Kyrzak12 ah yes. i forgot about that

[Gesreg]

@Kyrzak12 In germany its the day first then the month ( 19/01/11 ) in america/gb the month is first ( 01/19/11 ) :]

[supertrogdorman5252]

@IAmMrCollins

Yeah... At least I'm not from California... I live near Austin Texas... Apparently it's the live music capitol of the world... Not to sure about that though...

[supertrogdorman5252]

@Lenjaful oh. Are you from the uk? Like the sex pistols

[YargDisease]

this music makes me happy. All of his music does.

[IheartKurtForever]

This has so much personal meaning to me, love it so much x

[RyanWright999]

Last presentation eh? Check out the suggestions> Nirvana-Sappy Live [02/25/94]

[supertrogdorman5252]

Which month is 16? (look at video title)

[RebelThoughts]

@supertrogdorman5252 Thats the day not month! the month is 2 which is February.

[Lenjaful]

@supertrogdorman5252 Thats the another way of making date, which we use in Europe and stuff. ;)

[IAmMrCollins]

@supertrogdorman5252 your clearly american we do it backwards for example dont get made 9/11 is 11/9 for us

[Hunsanity]

its really a shame he didnt have anyone to help him..he might still bere here ...

[Chitown2701]

@Hunsanity I know it's sad he's no longer with us, but we'll always remember Kurt through his music.

[overcometheidiots]

I love this

[JABATE]

Cool photos!

[TempDUB11]

one of the greatest bands of all time :)

rip kurt

[tweenboxyeah]

@LaynesAddiction... that same words had been part of this song since ´88. It´s a metaphor

[skatertechdeck]

kurt hated playing at concerts,..... he said he pretended to so people would enjoy the music at least,....

"Its better to be hated for what you are, rather than to be loved for what you're not"

-Kurt Cobain

[rsohlich1]

@skatertechdeck you know that quote isnt Kurt....I always questioned it, but I just found that one and the other, "A friend is just a known enemy: aren;t Kurt quotes. I always thought they were too, but apparently not, and I NEVER heard him say them in every interview, book article, or mag article.I guess I was wrong. The internet has a lot of wrong things said by many different celebs and musicians.

[VendPrekmurec]

this was my best nirvana song

[ericmeloman85]

Kurts voice sounds really good here. The sound of this preformance sounds great!!

[maniacframus]

i think this is one of the best live versions ... :)

[damo87araimo]

@maniacframus The solo?? I've heard better

[ubuntuozo]

I see this as the most powerful Nirvana song.

[LaynesAddiction]

"and if you kill yourself, you will make him happy"

those words cut through the song.

murdered? he clearly was thinking about suicide for a while.

[MrTrevy420]

@LaynesAddiction: When he says "Him" It makes me think if he is talking about God.

[gabfrubas]

@LaynesAddiction shut up...sappy in germany live in 89 he sing the same lyric....

[LaynesAddiction]

@gabfrubas no you shutup.

[darondaronadaron]

@LaynesAddiction i think he meaning "him" as the devil / illuminati

so it is my belief that he was killed.

[BuzzoQueen]

@darondaronadaron It's always nice to have a suspiciuos mind right? keeps you sharp...

[mistersimonfletcher]

@LaynesAddiction He wrote this song long before 1994.

[codyahernek]

@LaynesAddiction i know! the written lyrics say "fool yourself" but he was definitely saying kill yourself.

[PivotMakeranimations]

@LaynesAddiction this song was made in 1988, he didnt had suicidal toughts back then

[LaynesAddiction]

@LaynesAddiction someone who killed himself didnt have suicidal thoughts.....besides how do you know what he was thinking at the time anyway.

[xKrytoSx]

@LaynesAddiction quite a while, he was performing sappy in 89. Having bipolar sux, but music is an excellent outlet.

[freezinhotroniz]

@LaynesAddiction sorry but no its actually about a turtle that kurt had in his laundry room he had it in a jar and he thought it looked happy and dave grohl thought it looked sad . so hence the name "SAPPY" and listen to the lyrics its about a turtle.

[PivotMakeranimations]

@freezinhotroniz No Way, this song was written in 1988 and Dave joined in 1990

[freezinhotroniz]

@PivotMakeranimations i meant krist then, my b

[TheChacha1993]

@freezinhotroniz kurt wrote this song before he met dave grohl but its true its about his turtle called sappy

[HeartShaped27]

@freezinhotroniz Considering that Dave Grohl didn't even know who Kurt Cobain was in 1987 when this song was written there seems to be a flaw in your logic

[95BillyG]

@LaynesAddiction stop reading into the lyrics! the songs about relationships etc etc

[overdose311090]

listen kurt's solo of this song in kapu, Austria,its fucking awesome!

[RebelThoughts]

The Off Ramp version of Sappy has an even better solo than this performance. Kurt loved to improvise his solos of this song. He was amazing.

[mojo9o]

Actually, I meant TWO as in the Off the Ramp ver. and the Stiff Drinks Ver. that both have really great solos as well! I LOVE HOW KURT IMPROVISES EVERY SAPPY SOLO HE PLAYS!

[qlino1313]

waow... he really put a piece of him self in the song...

[skrishbross]

This song express so much with this killer lyric he talks about what can make you happy but he wasnt happy he just wanted a simple sound and a simple band not the fame that every stupid emo ban or raper wants he just wants to give us his music and inspiration

RIP Kurt Cobain Nirvana Lives!!!!

[itookabath]

@skrishbross that's why he wrote a song called "on a plain" for people like you if you know what that song means!

[Jojos25]

this is the best version of sappy. even better than the one recorded in the studio.

[mojo9o]

there are two others I hope you've heard that were also phenomenal! All of them were so awesome! This solo is fantastic!

[Jojos25]

what others? :)

[mojo9o]

A really rare but great quality and great solo improvise goes by the old name Verse Chorus Verse (5/13/90). The other is a great bootleg and performance and even another great improvised solo played on 11/25/90 & one with great vocals and mellow-tone without solo is played on 11/22/89

[itookabath]

@mojo9o you don't listen to many solos do you?

[mojo9o]

I'm sorry, tookabath, no I don't and Kurt's solos are still that good to me. I care less for solos I don't care for.

[mojo9o]

as I said, I don't know if this overwrites it, I don't listen to many solos but Kurt's solos are better than most to my ear. Now I am human with distinction so please respect my joys.

[pot4tots]

@Jojos25 live music always better than studio

[Jojos25]

@pot4tots it depends on the band...

[pot4tots]

@Jojos25 well if the bands any good they can play live all bands start as live bands and if they just rely on studio equiptment to sound good then they have no musical tendencies and probly arent worth listening to

[Jojos25]

@pot4tots i agree

[stjo5555]

elb183:is and if you fool yourself shithead

[RebelThoughts]

I think this live performance is better than the one from Italy in 2/25! Wow, what a great solo!

[elbl83]

and if you fuck yourself xD

[3dgun]

[ih8japscraps]

best version of this song

[YourDailyUFO]

Song was literally about his turtle.

[SwapMeetForJustice]

No, it means that this was the last time Sappy was played, but its wrong, 02/25/94 - Palatrussardi, Milan, Italy was the last show where Sappy was played.

03/01/94 - Terminal 1, Flughafen München-Riem, Munich, Germany was the final show.

[JohhnyJeffstaaa1337]

wow great solo.. best version !!!

[teemunknee]

lol, "and if you fuck yourself" hahahaha

[ericmeloman85]

wait, i thought Heart Shaped Box was there last song they played.

[Commiteee]

I believe the title means this was part of there last show.

[johnakis1992]

sappy comes from the happy and sad.....happy+sad=sappy

i read it somewhere i can't remember where!!!

[reidmustang88]

possibly a reference to his bipolar disorder...or as he understood it, the highs and lows he went through

[ElephantRider100]

oh what genius you must be to conclude that ! xd . very good, you must be very proud. Thanks for opening my eyes. And oh, do you know that theres no flying tigers! I read that smwhere too!

[kdlkg]

[KoRnoRama]

...Makes me Sappy... Whatever that is?

[darr777]

the sound is awesome,so clear,best live sound on this one!!

[boofdahpoo]

RIP Kurt, RIP Michael--Jesus, the good ones always go too soon. :(

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

Don't compare MJ with Kurt Cobain... it's just.... it's just not right!

[ATOMsMasHER22]

and he was also two dashes away from comparing him to Jesus!

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

Don't compare Jesus to Kurt Cobain either... it's just... it's just not right!

:D

[kurtkords]

@DrunkenLeprechaunPro Too right dude! The thought alone of comparing MJ with Kurt is stupid! Its like comparing a drag car with a dodjem car

[LookitsLolWizard]

@DrunkenLeprechaunPro

Comparing Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson is like comparing oranges and apples.

Its just not the same

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

@LookitsLolWizard

It's also like comparing and intellect with a pedophile...

[guitarguy780]

@LookitsLolWizard Thats probably the worst example I've ever heard, you can defiantly compare two pieces of fruit. They're both round, both sweet, both grow on trees, both have warm colors. Besides it's a matter of musical taste and opinion, i happen to think Michael Jackson sucked and Nirvana is one of my favorite bands. Just because to things are really different doesn't mean you cannot compare them in anyway.

[LookitsLolWizard]

@guitarguy780

Well guess ur right

[oddsource]

@DrunkenLeprechaunPro DUDE... you think your happy and you have a job. FUCK YOU-------your in the laundry room, you wallow in your own shit! KURT FOREVER!

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

@oddsource ...wtf are you talking about??

[TheFrenziedGamer]

@DrunkenLeprechaunPro ITS FUCKED UP!

[Lenjaful]

@DrunkenLeprechaunPro I said the same at another vid, where someone said a picture of Dave looked like MJ. But he fired all his munition at me xD

[AndreHartwig]

oh my god it makes me so sick hes gone...

[Hero774]

Lmao did he say "And if you fuck yourself" near the end ? Lol oh well it doesnt matter its a great song and he did an interesting solo too

[LeXiiGiiRl21]

Haha .. look at Dave @ 2:24 .

[luukyman1]

the best song of nirvana

[thedelta51]

maybe was the "best" guitar solo played live by kurt

[Mikintosh]

@thedelta51 From Kurt or Pat Smear? anyone can confirm this?? i hate this mess about who played who...

[TheDotAFanatic]

@thedelta51 are you stupid?

[MhStrat]

@thedelta51 like ... the easiest one ever ... but you're right :p

[MilkIt119]

This is the best version of "Sappy",, i have the bootleg of this show- Va Te Faire Enculer- great show,, Kurt was quite talkative which was quite rare on the final In Utero tour. 16/2/94

[RebelThoughts]

Amazing live version..

[KurtCobain944]

Oh man,this song is making me cry...

[Lazewski]

Every song Kurt played, was sounding better and better
