I ran lights for this show.
I bounced and barbacked this show. I got to be alone backstage just me and the band. They were getting stoned and chill. It was a big show for The Hall. Sold out 1000 people.
At this time, they was starting to believe the hype. This show is when they knew how many records they where told was being sold was true. Crazy!...
Good job!
Kurt was so vocally consistent always kicked ass.
Still the coolest voice I've ever heard.
he knew how to use throat singing
This small period from mid 91 to early 92 was the best Nirvana you’ll see. (Apart from Unplugged) Nirvana weren’t meant to play big arenas, it just didn’t make any sense. The In Utero shows lacked something, there was something so powerful about 3 guys in smaller venues, creating a storm.
Nirvana at their mightiest.
I’m gonna go ahead and call this the greatest Nirvana show.
There's something about the gigs in November and October, don't get me wrong every show is amazing but those 2 months seem to have the best sound.
The band was at the top of their game, Kurt's vocals at their utmost best, this whole era is an enigma, I love nirvana forever 💯
I was there. $7 and not even sold out. It was everything.
hey do you happen to have any old nirvana shirts from this show or around this time. thanks
I love watching Dave , used to watch Kurt all the time but more and more I appreciate how bada5 Dave was at drums.

The fact that I got to play on this stage many times in Detroit and see musicians like Eminem to countless others on this exact stage makes me nostalgic for St Andrews Hall.
thank you kurt for being there in my teenage years, it helped the vodka too
I saw them the night before in Cleveland. The video simply cannot convey the electricity and vibe that surrounded them at the time. It was a no-frills, kick-in-the-head catharsis.
Damn dude, I bet. I wish I was about 4 years older and I would have got to see them at least on thier last tour. From what I can tell from videos though you're right and this was probably their peak as a live band.
@@cman600000 I saw them in late '93, they were just as good as they were when I saw them in '91. I was lucky, two great shows. Generally speaking, from everyone I've spoken to from those days, they were usually phenomenal live.
I was THERE in my 15 year old self!
Marc H Me too, just a couple years older. Remember the floor moving up and down? I wondered a couple times if we were all going to die there. Pretty sure St Andy’s went over capacity this night.
was this an all ages show?
The Wedge Yes, i think it cost like $8. I still have the stub somewhere.
remaining members have said that when they arrived in chicago the next night they knew they were a big deal. i was 14, living in the chicago burbs and completely unaware of what i was missing out on
I'm so jealous of you man
what is not said enough is just how tight and practiced they were......... excellant rythem n in the pocket !!!!!!
Such an unreal version of Something in the Way. Powerful vocal performance.
By far the greatest show I’ve EVER seen!!! I saw Nirvana 6 times, every one (mostly) amazing, but this was next level great. The band was VOLCANIC, the crowd was as crazed as I’ve seen a Detroit crowd. I’d kill for a better recording!
Wow ,: 0
I think this is the only bootleg we ever found. There was a place out in Royal Oak across from Noir Leather that sold VHS bootlegs and this was the only one they had. I think you can make out my buddies around 31:00. Great show, if memory serves tickets were $12, which was pretty pricey at the time.
it was basicaly in a basement
@@callsignstatic6872 Nah, they played main floor St. Andews on this tour. You're thinking The Shelter, which is where Eminem started. We went to Blind Melon that year too, they played main floor as well.
@@debunkthejunk1 Yeah been to St Andrews a million times. I was referring to just the size overall. It is a very small venue to see a band in. I saw the Smashing Pumpkins there like 5 or so times when they used to travel over from Chicago to do shows. I was there the night somebody ripped off Billy Corgans "Gish" guitar. He just got that guitar back a couple years ago I believe and there is a youtube video on him being reunited with it and he mentions St Andrews of course. Wow strayed off topic there. well Cheers.
Incredible gig!! A proper band!! Missed so much!!
This is amazing. Heard Kurt loved Detroit and Ann Arbor specifically.
Where you hear that from?
I live in Woodhaven, MI and randomly thought that I’ve never watched a Nirvana show in Detroit. It’s awesome to think they were 20 mins north before playing these classics.
It’s also very sad to think that while I was working, 20 mins away the greatest voice of the 90s Chris Cornell was ending his own life.
@@anthonyvee9267 I can't recall the interview but Kurt mentioned loving playing there. A big role model of his was Iggy Pop so I'm sure he made that connection
They played the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor just the year before and I missed it. I was at this show though.
They also played in Amsterdam, a mess but cool and also very historical for us
@@hansmaanen7718 yes they did! The Paradiso I believe. I saw the venue this past March. Amsterdam is a beautiful place.
Mad energy! Peak moment
Am I the only one that really appreciates how Kurt rarely acknowledges the crowds existence? lol compared to most bands that constantly pander to them.
never thought about it --- seen a ton of bands -- you should stop thinking about it nobody cares --- look at the old CARS shows
@@callsignstatic6872 nah I'll continue to appreciate it. But thanks for the advice 👌
Agree! No "How's everybody doing tonight!" bullshit! The last authentic band...
@@Punchpuppet exactly. Someone who gets what I mean!
Yea I was thinking the same thing. I tried watching some modern acts perform and it's so annoying they can't even get through 1 or 2 songs with pandering to the crowd and not actually performing. This is why I love Nirvana nonstop energy from beginning to end!
1991: the Nirvana GOLD year 🤟
Disagree. In my opinion the Nirvana "GOLD" years were from 1988-1990. I know a lot of people think of 1991 as the real start of Nirvana. I see it more as the start of the end.
@@Michael----- You are not completely wrong, however it was showbiz&press that caused the beginning of the end, not Nirvana themselves.... 😔
@@Pennyroyal_T. The shows I saw from '88 through the summer of '90 just was the real Nirvana. I take no joy in saying that Kurt mailed it in a lot of the time after that. All my fav Nirvana songs were also written pre-1991. Courtney and heroin played a big part in post '90 downfall of the band, but I will always have my memories of the real Nirvana.
@@Michael----- Totally agree about Courtney & heroine. I saw them on novembre 16, 1991, in a LITTLE teathre of East Italy (in my country they were not very famous yet) and..... dude... they were so powerful, genuine and SOOOO enthusiastic. After that.... Holland, Courtney, etc.... yes, you're righr: the fall started 😔
@@Pennyroyal_T. I am glad you got the chance to see a great show in 1991. Cherish that memory as I am sure you do. I didn't say the band or Kurt sucked after 1990, because that is far from truth. I just miss him and I wish somehow we could change history and the last 3 years of his life. I want him here right now. When the world is in turmoil like right now I listen to that voice and that guitar and it honestly gives me hope. Many people think of Kurt as a dark and disturbed person. He definately had his demons as we discussed, but he brings me personally only light.
I think this is my favorite performance/version of Breed. Super fucking intense playing especially and vocals but also his stage moves are pretty good during it as well, haha.
Always amazed by how much noise 3 guys can produce
This is the closest any other version of "Territorial Pissings" has ever sounded to the Jonathan Ross version, making it the second best version by default!
I'm late but I could not agree more
I still have the ticket stub--Friday Oct 11 1991. I can remember the whole floor bouncing.
Which venue? I assume in England yeah? Is it online? Im nirvana binging again 😂🤙
@@nuao88 Detroit, Michigan USA--best show ever, there is a recording online
@@heathermcguire8563 thanks
Me too, I thought we were all going to die a couple times. I’m pretty sure they were over capacity that night. That floor recently did collapse.
So jealous. I love st andrews. I can’t even imagine how insane it would’ve been to be there.
Did Kurt feed off of the crowd? I remember him saying in an interview he had trouble connecting with the crowd…
One day later, Kurt and Dave obliterated this drum set in Chicago! Love it! I live in Mi too!
They did! But for some reason every time they tried to throw the kit out into the crowd, security kept taking it away from people.
Glad they did. Sounds horrible
@@f.g.6019 😂👌
@@f.g.6019I gotta disagree. The kit sounded perfectly fine. Besides it’s a low quality camcorder recording this sound. Not sure how you determine how bad a kit sounds. It’s typically based on tuning. The reason they destroyed the kit was because Dave finally got a new tama after partnering, and just felt like destroying the old one
@@smarkmalark The Chicago show the next night with this kit sounded amazing, much better quality recording so you can really hear it. I'm not an expert on drums or anything but it just sounds great
I was at this show. I went to a TON of shows at St Andrew's Hall after that, but this was my first. My brother was into the band, otherwise I would've had no idea who they were until long after this. I saw them again on the In Utero tour, but I think that was at the State Theater (now the Fillmore).
hey man just curious if you have any shirts or merchandise from the show or just old Nirvana stuff.
Great set, great sound, great era and great band! Oh, and great upload! It's just great.haha
Something in the way live is just so special!
Bro I see you everywhere on every Nirvana live
October 13th, 2023 and I'm still here.
They must have been so unbelievably loud .. and a three piece? Great post
Thank you Kurt, we miss you - gr Hans from the Netherlands
Hoi hans
Other than Paramount, I believe we can all agree this is Nirvana's best live show on American soil.
Check out Nirvana at Warfield and Nirvana at the Metro.
I dont know if I could definitively say but its pretty high up there if not. My favourite verson of Breed though I can say with out a doubt.
Nah, the first Cow Palace show (12/31/91) is like one of the absolute all-time greatest performances by any band, ever
@@RebelThoughts82 metro gig was the first one where the band knew they were a big deal according to remaining members
Dallas texas was another banger of a gig despite the fight with the bouncer, the performance was on point
Such a great version of On a Plain.
From a big Nirvana fan; thank you. Nirvana at its best here
This was grunge rock , before it blew up on “grunge “ radio 📻! I’m glad I got to be there before everyone else!
Only the second time they played in Michigan and I was too young. 8 years old. But I remember my best friends older brother getting the Nevermind cassette. They sounded great here
WRONG!!! This was the third time Nirvana played in Michigan. Kalamazoo (Club Soda) in 89 & Ann Arbor (Blind Pig) in 89 & 90. I know, because I was at all THREE shows.
@@johnmc67 Really? I went to the Blind Pig for a friends band and thinking it was pretty neat to be where Kurt was.
Kris Frederick really! My local college radio station (WDBM, IMPACT!) started playing Love Buzz in late 88 & me and my friends were blown away! And when we heard the next summer that they were coming to Michigan in the fall, we got that day off & drove to Club Soda in Kalamazoo to see their first MI show. There were maybe 40-50 people there, and Nirvana blew my mind, the amount of energy they put out was staggering! Right after the show I saw Kurt head straight to the bar, and surprisingly I went over & said something like, “hey man, INCREDIBLE set!” We talked for a few minutes about his music, but I didn’t wanna be a dick so I walked away pretty quickly. Found my friends & right there decided we were going to be at their show the next night at the Blind Pig. The Pig was packed! That night the crowd matched the energy put off by the band, and until St Andrews, was the best show I’d ever seen! And yeah, it is neat being at a place a hero played. Hell, I sometimes go to the Grande Ballroom just to feel the ghosts of The Stooges & the MC5.
@@krisfrederick5001 I played there before and thought that too.
@@johnmc67 yes, the energy was so great its somehow still there.
Love hearing every "rape me" early 91' performances. Love hearing them working on it live and getting it dwn till it came polished on in utero
This is so.... godly.
Long live. Nirvana.
1:12:08 Something In The Way
I saw this back in'96. My friend had a bootleg. We lived an hour from Detroit.
Ann Arbor ?
Johnny BushHogg There is more to Michigan than Ann Arbor, but probably yea.
Yeah. Places like Off the Record, and Flipside would flat out sell bootleg VHS show tapes. Great times... If it wasn't for pioneers of recording back then, we wouldn't have things like the GG Allin documentary 'Hated.'
Los mejores vivos de Nirvana son en esa época.
Una bestialidad lo intenso y ajustado que sonaban.
Pablo Avendaño si también me he dado cuenta
There's something about this one that always brings me back. It's certainly not the video quality .
I like jesus dont want me for a sunbeam its a great song to listen to
TISZTELETADÁS. A. KOZONSÉG. FELÉ. THANK. YOU❤❤.
Thank you so much!
Lived about 20 min from this venue. I was 13. My brother (he’s not alive anymore) went to a few nirvana shows in Detroit. He told me Kurt took his shoe off and threw it into the crowd? Anyone experience that?
They are solid on the matter. M.Grolh ohh god, He is a strong and coordinated magnet on his drum !
супер, браво, великолепно nirvana!!!!
Peace for Ukraine. Stop the war of Putin. Stand up against him. Peace. Love. Empathy.
Dave Ghrol una máquina en la batería
endless nameless kurt is one of. the guitar greats
Was eminem on there??
Another great upload. Thank You!
Was at show upstairs on the right side of the balcony.
Just fire!
I love Nirvana. I wish I was born earlier rather than now I would kill to see them.
Better to be younger than older no matter how much you love a band.
And I wish I had seen them too.....
I was sweeping the floor in the corridor there that night
Missing the times...
Great show! Great tour!
Only 13 wasn't allowed to go, sister still won't let me forget. Bia
Love it. Thank you!!!!
Best when in Detroit
I just realized this is almost the same exact set list as live at the paramount
so happy you are back :))
I’m surprised that they didn’t play “In Bloom” here.
Wow, I was 22 and lived about 10 minutes from st andrews, what was I thinking not going to this ? I think the problem at the time was I was a guitarist myself and mainly into van halen, nugent, sabbath, Trower and GNR and I thought Nirvana was mostly incoherent babbling and repetitive power chords, I was much more into the more technical players and basically didn't pay much attention to Nirvana ,, Took me years to come around and appreciate them more but yeah, if I had it all over to do again I for sure would have been there.
Wow! A month after Nevermind came out and the songs are so young. The crowd is not singing along to Lithium. They probable barley even know these songs. To be in that crowd. 😮👍🏼
The shoe at 40:30. Man, that was one of the funniest things I've seen at a show. Krist played it up and kept that thing swinging.
That was my shoe lol
I saw this show with only hearing nirvana a few times. I was living in Canada but driving down to MSU to visit friends on a regular basis since I was on disability at the time and out of school. I remember we almost got busted in Detroit for buying illegal substances. Who gets busted in Detroit was the saying of the night... The sound doesnt do it justice. This was a great show, but the best early live show from the big Seattle bands was the Soundgarden Badmotorfinger tour. They were on fire.
супер nirvana!!!!!
In my opinion peak nirvana!
didn't realised Pennyroyal Tea dated back as much as '91
Pennyroyal Tea's debut was at the same show as SLTS's debut
and rape me, always assumed that song was a reaction to their fame, but apparently it existed pre-fame
i was there!
First show ive seen him in only one layer. And its a t shirt
He wore a pair of pajamas at many '92 shows
@@Ama749 are more clothes somehow related to being a junkie?or you just mean,because the drug abuse influence affects your taste in clothes?
@@alexvaviloff5934 partially bc junky = emaciated = layers to look less emaciated, and also track marks. so yea it is "somehow related" though Im pretty sure theres plenty of of videos with kurt with less layers later on, and also even here, though he occasionally denied it, im pretty sure he was doing heroin on the regular
Walter He was doing drugs at this time, just read the lyrics to aneurism.
High performance this one. After all, as always
42:57 nice little Pixies reference
Show Crazy
Tight af.
Damn great show boys. You're still 🔛🔝!
For the most part this is the same order as paramount
Rhys Mcconnell for most of their shows
At the end Dave was like: "Ok Kurt, stop!

Wow this E.N. version is so sick =)
I was there...that was my shoe..Tad opened up..the building was about to collapse from all of us moshing..the singer from Tad did a stage dive...I got the hell out of the way..he's wayy to big to catch.
That show was the year before at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Urge Overkill opened for them this night.
I wonder if Krist and Dave watch all these old gigs....be ace if they left comments....
This is dave ya we read some y u got some ground breaking shit. Il tell u this all concerts ive seen have piss poor audio and yes im reallydave. But wats ur point tho dude?
@@dennyguitarxxcdennis2780 what
Krist says he does once in awhile. Dave said he can’t.
59:54 "I'm gonna try again, ready?"
Kurt rippin sober somewhat here and sounding killer man! Saw them Capitol Hill Seattle in January 89” killer show they was just starting to kick off! Crocodile cafe I believe was the pub?

Kurt said he hated that Stage Patter when he'd seen Huge Bands Do It. 😐😐😐
"Hey, how's everybody doing tonight? You ready to rock and roll! I can't hear you! I said ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND FUKIN' ROLL?"
Saw them two nights earlier at a club in Columbus with a capacity of about 250. Urge Overkill opened. Saw NIrvana the year before at the same club and a local band called Barbed Wire Dolls opened. BWD were known for trying to piss off people. They covered Breed in their set as openers. Nirvana had a different drummer before Grohl at the time. When he heard BWD playing Breed he started laughing his head off. A friend who worked at the club said Kurt got real upset with the drummer.
Was at both of those shows. Missed Barbed Wire Dolls the first time because we were at The Newport to see Social Distortion. Walked out and a guy was passing out 1/4 page flyers that said Nirvana @ Staches $3 with your SD ticket. Good times. Right up there with the GG Allin show.
