Nirvana Live - Polly and Very Ape

[ScullyboyDX]

the fans dont know how to fucking keep time with the song, you can see Krist trying to help them and then he is just like, "fuck them" lol

[Testudoization]

12 thumbs down for cameraman

[3lftw1ns]

[TheWelshCelt]

i fucking love this! i mean unplugged in new york was awsome but this is i dont know feels different and sounds better if im honest (the song polly)

anyway nirvana ROCK!

[CoonMike]

@TheWelshCelt I agree...the cello is louder and more assertive and gives the piece a beautiful dreamy feel that the unplugged version isnt worthy of.

[KingMedicine721]

Kurt never used his fuzz on this song like on the record. I wish he did.. If it was a problem to get the extra boost on the chorus, a boost pedal...

With all due respect.

I fucking love Nirvana.

[GamerMan57]

@KingMedicine721 on very ape? cus then i know what u mean, but if ur talking about polly than idk what ur talking about

[KingMedicine721]

@GamerMan57

Yes, Shmohawk, Very Ape.

[donkekis]

kurt hated when people applauded at their concerts

[Peitzsucks]

smear rules

[MattSlawecki]

PLEASE CHECK MY COVER OF POLLY, THANKS! watch?v=IPSYplu_3fA

[interpretop]

I'm ashamed that when Kurt started Very Ape, nobody was cheering. It's a fricking amazing song.

[Namygal]

very ape is killing

[PivotMakeranimations]

people in audience didnt went there to see Nirvana they went to see Kurt Cobain, Krist is trying to make them clap the right way but no one is giving a fuck

[Alas07X]

hahahahaha Krist nods his head like "fucking idiots don't know how to clap to a song..."

[DeliciousPoop]

@frugalbeauty hey dummy, the BASSIST was clapping and provoking the crowd to clap

[iHateThisShirt]

Jag-stang !!!!

[MrDangerwarning101]

@frugalbeauty the itallians do, don't bother trying to figure it out cause it fucked up,

bronx66 these are not clapping songs for fucks sake

[jackman8122]

two of my favorite songs :)



[dcmentalman]

@frugalbeauty

That's the sounds of skulls cracking in the mosh pit... That's actually a pretty funny picture, a mosh pit at an acoustic concert...haha

[Lenjaful]

Look at Krist at 0:24 til 0:28, trying to make the audience clap the right way, but nobody listens to him cause, well, he's just Krist and nobody cares about him. But he's just such a cool person, and he gives the final touch to all the music they made. He's not well-appriciated.

[HuskyMusicful]

@frugalbeauty 0:24 Krist is not and idiot :(

[gforcelux]

the audience doesn't get that clapping makes this performance shit because the song is about rape and torture

[DeliciousPoop]

@gforcelux how could you NOT clap for rape and torture.......... there are few better things in this world

[whpriol1]

I like the FooFighters, but man Nirvana was so much better.

[ET11495]

@whpriol1 Agreed. Foo Fighters is by far the best band around today, but they don't hold a candle to Nirvana.

[metfreak81]

looks like it was filmed with a calculator

[JrNapalm01]

@metfreak81

1994 -.-

Not 2010.

NO HD Cameras or good HQ-Hand Cameras.

[metfreak81]

@JrNapalm01 true...i didnt think about that

[sethefricankvnt420]

@metfreak81 Dumb ass.

[link6161]

the cello in this version is beautifull

if kurt was still alive now nirvana would be the biggest band

[hiroichi87]

@frugalbeauty italians like me

[akay47vhs]

those idiots ruined it with the clapping.its a song a about rape for crying out loud.

[WeDontHaveToBreed]

@akay47vhs I know. Fuck.

[akay47vhs]

those idiots ruined it with the clapping

[JapaneseGolfClubs]

"Nixon Now."

[soaringyak]

the crowd clapping ruins this. fucking stooooop

[rsohlich1]

This version of Polly is beautiful and haunting.

[0371998]

NIRVAVA

KUrt Fradenburg Cobain! HIs bLood is German, half French and Scottish

A real warrior project! A realm in life

With that kind of blood this is normal to be raised at the top by his own force! His ardour of blood and fun are proof

[devastator226]

@0371998 uh kurt was from irish decent dude

[0371998]

@devastator226 yah ..sorry..I missed one tree, , french ..., german , english , scot and irish :) mother , allemande, française, father: irlandaise, anglaise et écossaise

wikipedia...Still he have a german-french face! more than the rest! :P huh huh

[TheBongoya]

I didn't know people had cell phones that were able to record videos in the early 90s?

[Mugumbo101]

amazing version

[belongin]

shit¡¡ this rocks.

[Magiran]

nice version, i like this

[robogizmoe]

its sounds like a familiar song in the beginning before he starts oh what is it

[TexasJ47]

@robogizmoe i think its polly by nirvana, not entirely sure but sounds pretty close

[maulcs]

quit clapping you fucking tards

[taniafalmeida]

VERY APE LIVE!!!!

[lawnmowerman7]

a. smear the queer b. kurt's strumming was always so crisp and perfect

[sydbarrett5]

I never got a chance to see them live so it's pretty cool to see footage like this. Thank you for sharing this!

[grungefan848]

[TheJesperAble]

[123756abc]

[Zosoking513]

this is so cool, its like they took unplugged on the road.

[kurt160]

[spoildangell]

they're clapping like they think he's gonna play the new wave version.

[Bluevetteboy2012]

He is playing a Fender JAGSTANG here!!!!

[awesome12886]

@Bluevetteboy2012 yeah, Kurt only played the Jagstang in '94

[h0rangi]

very ape, so simple but fuckin great

[spaceorbison]

Krist's reaction @ 0:27 is "holy shit what a bunch of fucking idiots".

[Dino8418]

Krist is not trying to take public into the rythm he is just being sarcastic about clapping

[GameM4ster]

@Dino8418 It's funny though right? Like his face after he tried? haha

[monkey2slut]

omg why must all the fucking european audiences find it necessary to clap!!!?? laaame!!..... with that said... AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!! the cello sounds so mournful lol rad and very is such a sick song!!!!

[MrWhothefuck]

@monkey2slut whats lame is you saying OMG

[Carbon657]

@monkey2slut They clap because somebody threw them a fish and they think they are seals.

[HentzDude]

those 94' shows of nirvana seem soooo different than the earlier years, which is ofc obvious, a band cant stay exactly the same

[VictorRechnageL]

Hahaha. The audience is a major fail.

<3

[poprocks187]

jag-stang

[bloodtearsej]

[ZRN959]

[scm8487]

[therocknroll41]

[JenniferLoveBusey]

@fajardo408 courtney

[NamasteNirvana]

[javciu]

@rubyhaleybenjamin

[Keawe123456]

for fuck sakes you cant hold a camara worth shit but good music anyway

[moderntossman]

@Keawe123456 I didnt film this

[russelgman]

@Keawe123456 Haha, really? Yea...you know, he totally recorded this on his cell phone camera.

[onimusha514]

@Keawe123456 if i were there i could not hold the camra i wud be jumping!not wasting the time..i wud enjoy the moment

[WeDontHaveToBreed]

@Keawe123456 Hahahah Made my day man

[goncalocard]

@Keawe123456 Shut up asshole, just listen to the music. This ain't a fuckin' cinema.

[Keawe123456]

@goncalocard your a fuckin fagget whats wrong with holding the camra inn the same place you dick suckker

[nosebleed84]

He's playing the jagstang ! HELLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHH !

[BRONXIRISH78]

hell yeah....i had 4 of them...modded them to earnie baileys faq set up and put on different pickguards and sold them...i kept a black one for myself....:)

[DouglasMikelas]

its funny when krist tries to get them to clap on time, then he shakes his head like "jesus christ!".

[esteban21022]

Good video, I'm spreading my music with animations.

[perincito]

The double clapping might have worked, if only it had been in time. Krist tried, man, but their cultural sense of rythm is different from our American 4/4 rock time.

[pakitoflow]

One of the last shows of Kurt.. I really miss you Kurt.. You are alive in the heart's of all people fan's..

[rijenromi]

Its true kurt you are evergreen alive in every grungers and in peoples heart....i love you kurt......u r king of grunge...............always u r.....

[xxxN1RV4N4xxx]

that cello kicks ass

[frogboy2012]

CLAPPING AHAHAHAHHAHAHA?

[CheckOutMyToys]

WTF!!!! SING ALONG YOU BASTARDS!!! DON'T CLAP

Polly wants a cracker, think i should get off her first... etc etc

[3L4Z1N]

haha! krist is pist.

[CheckOutMyToys]

i would be two i would have stopped the song and been like "EY!" :p

[CheckOutMyToys]

*too

[SillyMusic97]

ohh man crap...why are they clapping OMG...they should sing...

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

i dont think that pat smir had the nirvana style !

[Joujou73]

Music its not a question of style !

[letsgoskate691]

true that

[Zkrudriverz]

omg, he had a constant stomachache all the way till he died?

[Jojos25]

no. he had stomach pain since 1986 more or less until 1992. but at that time he was already a heroin adict.

[THEDRIVEN60]

thats my favourite performance of polly

[RebelThoughts]

Fun Fact: The woman playing the cello in this video is Melora Creager of the band Rasputina.

[derdudeisda]

I didn't know they played acoustic live after the unplugged. But I think it's pretty cool

[elrickerick]

yeah

its uniqe :D

[dannymac322]

NIXON NOW! He should have played it a bit on unplugged! He maybe forgot, because it painfully sits there behind him the whole show! I heard it was his favourite too?

The Jagstang is GREAT too see! Sounds different than his usual In Utero show Mustang too. Kurt played pretty well that night, a good show for it.

[UnreleasedOriginal]

IMO, melora creager really brought something to those final 94 shows with her cello that lori goldston never could do, even on unplugged. just listen to that cello and how it holds it own.

[penntuckian]

so sad.. he would be dead injust over a month...such a waste of talent...

[Saint4056]

stfu, you're such a waste of life and space

[sephiron132]

lol just look at novoselic face when he tries take public in to rythm

sorry for bad englsih

[Jaikkanen]

@sephiron132 Haha, yeah it was so obvious.

[lawnkhan]

is it just me or was the audience's rhythm fucking up the band?

[iamamannow]

ya they are all clapping out of rhythm

[usedromance69]

@iamamannow they aren't clapping out of rhythm they are clapping too fast he wanted them to clap on 2 and 4 not on every beat

[Anghorn32]

@iamamannow

propably every1 is drunk

[sMC193]

ya and krist is shaking his head lol

[BreakingGlass77]

Yeah I think he's trying to get the crowd to slow down the tempo. I don't know why they're doing that.

[spaceorbison]

@lawnkhan of course they are they are stupid fucking foreigners who are clapping along as if the performance was some Sunday morning show. By that time Nirvana was so huge there was a rift between the music and the popularity of the band. This clapping along bullshit to Polly is a perfect example.

[10ccalanarkush]

@spaceorbison

"If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us-leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records" - Kurt Cobain, Incesticide, 1992.

Fucking jackass. 'stupid fucking foreigners' indeed.

[spaceorbison]

@10ccalanarkush get over it it annoyed them too

[10ccalanarkush]

@spaceorbison @spaceorbison Oh right, a grainy video footage with poorly synced audio is all the evidence you need to make that judgment. Or maybe you were actually there? And you hung out with the band at the after party? And Krist came out and was all like - 'man, these mediterranean races need to get with the metric complexities of american rock and roll, wtf is wrong with them?'

You haven't really evolved much from when you were your father's jizz, have you?

[msharmsen]

@lawnkhan Yes! Like most audiences, they have no damn sense of rhythm

[yadneerg2]

awesome

[FazlokAaAaAaA]

you're like "F3tch"

[4455RockerTV]

@DestinationDY

Why are you talking about your

STUPID band apparently called,"Flint"

witch invades,"F3t'ch" 's privacy. And why

are we talking about it on a Nirvana video. Jesus D:<

[DestinationDY]

@4455RockerTV What the hell are YOU talking about? We are from a town called Flint, how and who's privacy would we be invading?

[ooopppkkkuuu]

[HahaIPownedYou]

[NirvanaVideoVault]

polly is my fav acoustic song from all of my fav acoustic songs!! :)

[qlino1313]

Kurts jag-stang!

[Motilliatta]

I have one. Left handed too. And I got it in '97 so it's not the new version that they made that's not as cool.

[Electroyeahs]

the cello sound very good is more expresive than the version in nevermind; the cello gives a apocaliptic sense is beautiful.

[JANXDPDX]

cello

[yootesa1515]

that was the BEST preformace of very ape

[11playguitar]

the chello makes it sound fancy. pretty good

[frogman254]

zomg, this was on the day i was born :D win for me

[sandrixrs]

adoro a este hombre

es el hombre de mis sueños y

tien una voz espectacular a love kurt 4ever

[TheMwalk]

five things that make this Nirvana performance amazing!

_Lori Goldstein amazing cello

_Kurt plays his classic Nixon sticker acoustic

_Krist making jokes in between songs

_Pat Smear providing great lead guitar

_on Very Ape Kurt is playing his "Jag-Stang" a custom guitar he designed himself!!!!!

NIRVANA FOREVER!!!

[AndreasMagnusson]

Melora Creager played cello on the European tour.

[TheThroney]

lol the clapping.. so outve place for polly

[Fukband]

lol dave with the cello??!!

[endlessnamless420]

im pretty sure dave is on drums

[kcobainrock]

lori goldsteen....i think.....coz she played at unplugged

[yootesa1515]

no man its that goldstein dude that was in unplugged

[4G63PoWer]

its laurie goldstein, a lady isnt she?

[stevis78]

1. Incesticide

2. In Utero

3. Bleach

4. Nevermind

5. Unplugged

[elmocheney]

switch number one and two and you've got it :)

[BakinBacon91]

i really don't like pat smear(because he's kinda gay), but he did good on very ape

[userneimasz]

Dude.. don't you think that's kinda homophobic?

[elitepenetrationds]

lol

[HelpMeImHungry2]

nah i think bleach was the best

[thomasg7k]

1. bleach

2. in utero

3. incesticide

4. un plugged

5. nevermind

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

i always loved very ape it is such a punk rock song, but because it is nirvana it is perceived as something else! in utero was definitely nirvanas best album, i don't think there is any comparison! the only sad thing about in utero is how sad the lyrics really showed kurt to be!

[elmocheney]

well a few of the songs were about tragedies, like Frances Farmer and Scentless Apprentice. Frances Farmer was an actress whose mother kept trying to put her in a mental home and scentless apprentice is about a guy who killed women to try and make the ultimate perfume, but i totally get what you're saying

[Jvergakis]

the guy who killed woman to make perfume wasnt that the movie perfume

[elmocheney]

idk but its about the same guy as Scentless Apprentice

[thefaun1]

Nope. It was based on the book Perfume

[godwhyisthistaken]

but kurts guitar sounded really awsome is that the jagstung ?

[godwhyisthistaken]

WOW this clips shows wow Nirvana is so FREAKING awsome, kurt could of gave so many great performances, or at least quit the biz so he could get his lif back together, Kurt was Playing all the easy guitar stuff the New Guy I know his name but 4got he was doing the real technical stuff kurt was doing rythum section.

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

yeah, pat smear was doing all the lead guitar work and kurt was doing the rhythm guitar work. and kurt obviously does great acoustic work as well! kurt is a legend and will never be replicated!

[scott2533]

actually they are essentially playing the same thing. kurt's part is just in a lower key and pat had some type of wah effect (not sure what exactly)

[admedmore]

buena cancion,pero se nota ke kurt ya staba harto y aburrido de los conciertos

[Jojos25]

this acoustic live performance of polly is just an orgasm.

[cobainer5182]

i see a jag-stang

[xtremejeffhardy1313]

wow..this was 4 days after cobain's last birthday

[sonicsteev]

R.I.P dave grohl
