Can you imagine ... MTV is expecting them to play acoustic versions of all their top songs and Nirvana comes out with cellos and accordions and do obscure (yet genius) covers of old folk songs? At the time, some MTV executive was probably in the back office losing their job ... yet today it is probably considered one of the best acoustic concerts ever filmed. The true geniuses have a vision others don't see and never compromise it when told to.
yep I stumbled on to it...I use to love it in the 90's I just loved the songs...I had no clue who Kurt Cobain or Nirvana was until 4 weeks ago...when I clicked on a song I thought I use to love..then it was just overwhelming..that he passed away..I was really sad for a week..I was heavy into golf at the time and it took all my time...music was just there for the drive to the course...but I so appreciate Nirvana as a whole to bring back great memories... I feel like I discovered gold
Apparently one of Kurt's friends was backstage, and when they finished the gig, they said to Kurt how brilliant the show was and Kurt replied " yeah, we were good tonight ". One of the few times when he actually admitted how good Nirvana were to other people. I'm not surprised. This was a great show..
i read somewhere that one of the producers (cant remember her name) said to kurt how great they sounded and she said he looked bummed out and kurt replied "we really sucked the crowd weren't clapping very much" and she said your crazy i think they were blown away .. i think that could of been his bi polar takin hold, and i say that with no malice, he was a very sensitive genius with too many feelings RIP KURT
Even someone as self critical as him had to know how important this show is. It’s in the top 3 live performances of all time. Along with queen at live aid and Beatles rooftop
Oh hell no! I Live a when they get super creative! I mean, an accordion?? Same thing Korn did w/the bagpipes, singing nursery rhymes! Who does that???? Incredible creativity!
I'll never forget when my dad picked me up as a kid for a road trip, and we listened to this entire album, on cassette, non-stop. It was great. These songs will always have a special place with me, and have even more meaning now.
Instant classic...this guy's light was to bright to burn a long time...he was like to stars crashing into each other....epic lyricist wore his emotion on his sleeve in every performance we demanded it and he gave it till he was gone...LEGEND great example of once I na million years
Man, once I get sucked into one unplugged song, I have to listen to the entire thing. Every song was absolute gold….especially the obscure ones like this
It has to be heard in its entirety as an album.. We listened to the whole album anticipating the next track. I miss the music appreciation we had back then.
I watched this concert when I was a child and bought an accordion. I played this song with my friends at the graduation ceremony. Nirvana is the best band.
There's nothing fake about these guys, that's why people love them. Art is about authenticity and talent when you have both people are going to genuinely love it.
That is the most definite description, there’s nothing better than being true to yourself and to your art or your work no matter what it is, life is too short
The Evergreen neolib girlboss coven kinda made Kurt insufferable with all of the shrill upper middle class brain worms they stuck in him. Made him a bit of a class traitor npc. Courtney justified her entire existence by writing the diss track "Olympia".
Don’t forget that he’s singing backup vocals, playing bass, and playing drums all at the same time. Whenever I feel talented, I watch this, and remind myself how far I have to go.
I will never forget the day he died. I had just turned 16, and was skipping school. They were playing all his songs on the radio...His memory will live on forever in his music.
I’ve known for as long as I’ve known about nirvana. But their history, the connotation behind the lyrics, and how nirvana reflected on my own life all was too much. I identify with Kurt a lot. For a long time it hurt too much to listen to nirvana. Kurt might’ve been erratic, Kurt might’ve came across as mean, and Kurt might’ve done some horrible things. But you didn’t know what went on in the mans head and neither do I. He had one of the most pure souls of any human to ever live. It’s hard not to be bitter when all you ever wanted was to do right, and your mind tells you the world hates you. Listen to how the people close to Kurt talk about him. He meant it when he did things for people. Truly selfless. He couldn’t be anybody other than himself. And he hated himself. Kurts tragic end wasn’t his fault or anyone else’s either, we’re a product of a world that forgot the value of human decency. Have more understanding and be less hateful. Be more like Kurt. Don’t ever let anyone distill the life inside of you. Do right always, even when nobody is watching. Even though you might feel hurt that other human beings could never imagine, you will also feel love, compassion, and true togetherness that they won’t experience either. His story may have been a gruesome one filled with turmoil, but I think the true shot heard round the world was Kurts life not his death. He was kind till the very end, and did what he did because he felt like no matter what he couldn’t do enough to save others. Thank you Kurt and thank you to all of the artists taken too soon. Been thinking about all of them recently. We’ve all lost somebody like him. And it’s a damn shame. He made a whole generation who they are. Better to burn out than fade away.
@@flaviogarcia9010 I want to agree but me playing 4 notes over and over will screw it up at some point. And if I want to sing i need to stop playing. Dave has qualities you and I don't have
@Steve-si8hx actually, why do the song lyrics go wrong? I actually think the lyrics are going on point!! Listen to the lyrics!!! For real, listen to the damn music too!!
This Unplugged is absolutely remarkable and classic. It's been part of my life entirely. I used to be obsessed with this concert to the point that I kept listening to it every single day throughout an entire year. It brings back lots of great memories I'll never forget. Listening to this masterpiece is pretty much like revisiting my own unforgettable past.
Same, I remember when I was 5 or 6 I had this on cassette and would play it over and over. I had a tape player that automatically flipped from A to B side and would go to sleep with this on. I love it just the same.
I sang Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam every Sunday as a kid. The Vasoline's rendition is genius and hearing your heavenly voice cover it touches my soul in all the right ways. Kurt, You are truly a gift and too good for this world. I love and miss you. Your Murder will be vindicated. You were a Sunbeam for us in this dark place!
I've watched and listened to this show countless times over the past 28 years. What a bloody treat to finally watch it in high-res! Thank you Krist, Kurt, Dave and Pat for the greatest music of our lives.
it's sad to say but depressed artists make the best songs,it's like they sacrifice themselves to go dig deep in there feelings into the depression zone to come out with master pieces like this one
What’s always amazed me the most about the performance of this song is Dave Grohl playing a Kick, high hat, guitar AND singing all at the same damn time
30 years a fan and still my favourite band ever. I played the bass because of Krist and the guitar because of Kurt, thank you for the inspiration and the best music my ears have heard. Forever in your debt. 💛💚
25 years, man Still favorite band Sure Of course 110 percent PS Nothing unusual? Besides the fact that you first heard music in 1992, when the USSR collapsed. And you lived in this country. And this music made a huge impression on you.
@Jew Adolf, not sure about your name 😂 but yeah, it's awesome that Nirvana's music lives on and is still so special to so many generations!! Good luck with your guitar playing. 🤘🏻
These unplugged sessions are one of the best things to happen in music history. Alice in chains Nirvana Pearl jam Stone temple pilots All of them great.

Being a former IV heroin addict..I can feel the pain in his soul. Its written on his face. Grinds his teeth if you look closely. Anyone who thinks he didn't kill himself obviously has not been in the living hell of opiate addiction. I almost killed myself multiple times. Very destructive drug. It literally steals your soul and emotion. The poor guy was fucking miserable. Once you are hooked sex...money...love all goes away and you are left with yourself...depression...and the demon you inject to feel normal. I couldn't shed a tear when my mom died because I was so numb. Just watch the something in the way unplugged. That teeth grinding brings back horrible memories. He's trying to get through the show without banging dope. I miss him. I still clench my teeth and I have been sober for years at a time...peppered with relapse but that is part of recovery. And sober is a difficult term to be sober.You will never forget the feeling of the high and it will stay with you for life waiting for you to be weak. Oh my God the relapse. ...and I never got on the methadone program or suboxone..cold 🥶 turkey. Sick for over a month and a half 🤧. Literally why they warn you about drugs 💉 in school...pure evil 😈 💀
I've never been addicted to opioids, instead I've gotten to watch them destroy everyone I've loved and cared about. For the past 7 years maybe even more not a day has gone by where i don't think about suicide. How good it would be to finally be done with this shit. I'm gonna ask the judge since his cops wouldn't kill me if he will give me the death sentence for my 3 misdemeanors. Hopefully he says yes
I was 27 when this came out... it was sublime and exactly what I needed. I'm so glad to have been in my 20s in the 90s... there was so much great music constantly coming out. Although there was good music in the 80s, it was nothing like the 90s.
Omg I’ve never ever seen this. Their recorded in studio harder stuff used to fry my nerves because of a mood disorder. I had no earthly idea what I’d missed. I’ve been on a project of late to collect a folk list of stuff 10 or 30 years before my day. Only now with age I can listen to a mournful list of songs and truly appreciate it. hear it for the pure, naked grace it contains. I think developing a wide , interesting (and odd at times) vary of genres is the best blessing in experiences with the mood stuff. So grateful to find another wonder artist, even decades late. ☮️🙏
The facial expression on Kurt's face @4:04 gets me every time!! The poor man looked like he was gonna cry!! Awww hes such a sweet and genuine soul who we lost so young. So much raw talent its crazy/amazing how talented all 3 of them really are❤
That's the look of "I've accepted what's coming"......thoughts about the future had finally stopped playing tennis within the brain- the winner.....outcome....had been secured. Don't ask me how I know that look.....
When i was young i didn't realized about his look. Now that i am an older guy it's so clear that he was suffering soo much. Poor Kurt, i hope he is doing well wherever he is right now.
He seemed like such a gentle soul. Although I was too young to appreciate him at the time, I really appreciate him today. It's such a crying shame he isn't with us now.
4:04 " I'm an absolute legend and all these people loves and my bandmates incredibly.. but still fuck my life" Love you Kurt, wish you never ever picked up a loaded needle
I heard that Nirvana really wanted to show that no matter the music, you can touch people. maybe a romantic reading in too much. but I truly believe it. Nirvana and Music is forever my friends. live long and prosper.
Opiates are so hard to get off. He said he started using because of the pain in his stomach and it was so bad he screamed in pain. He also suffered from depression. You can see it in his eyes. Although we will never know what events led up to his suicide exactly he is greatly missed and i will listen to Nirvana until the day i die.
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are not made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons, you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for live Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are not made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons, you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for live Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for live Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are not made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons, you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for live
Kurt Cobain 1991: “I Swear that I Don’t Have A Gun.” 1993: “Don’t Expect Me To Die.” 1993: “Married, Buried.” 1994: “If I may And if I might, got a gun to bleed me.” 1994: :( R.I.P Kurt.
Singlehandedly the best performance ever to be captured on TV/Film, etc. The accordion is absolutely perfect for this song and it was just a "Hey, I can play this" moment. Just amazing. So glad I was able to experience it back then. It blew everyone away.
Yep. And I hope that next generation will know Jesus too. ❤ I used to listen Nirvana a lot back in the days... I had a lot of anxiety and depression, I used to smoke and drink a lot etc. I've had a long road from all that darkness via new age deception to our King Jesus Christ. ❤🙏 How I hope that Kurt had knew him and His love too... ❤ Hurts to even think about all the darkness and pain he must have been experienced. Looking back now I realize even better why I was so attracted to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain... I've always had a huge amount of symphathy to that person and how I see things today does not make it any less... 🙏❤ I really guess he was just a really sensitive soul and was too broken by this world... That's where only Jesus can pick you up. 🙏🙏❤ And you will find love and peace. And hope. And a better life! 🙌❤ Jesus loves you.. 🙏❤
They do. My son is 15 and Nirvana is one of his favorite bands. He plays their songs on guitar and drums. His friends love the band too. Gen Z craves the 90s.
Just wanted to say TY Kurt, Your Music have got me through so much things. I miss u every single day and I still adore your guys music. I hope you’re in a better place now. Ty for everything💕
I actually really like that Kurt did this obscure song because it's really beautiful and haunting. Kurt was a Genius and he saw things other people couldn't see. There was so much sadness in Kurt's eyes during the entire Show.
- Dad, why does my sister’s name is Rose? + Because your mom loves roses - Thanks dad! + You’re welcome, Nirvana - Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam (Live On MTV Unplugged, 1993 / Unedited)
Kurdt, I understand (thru yer music) that pain in your gut that nothing could make it stop. I understand why you done it, man. The only thing that killed your pain & let you enjoy anything without pain was bad, & you saw that, man. You didn't wanna become what you rebelled against. You didn't wanna play "their" games any more. You recorded You Know You're Right, & you were out. That was your greatest song,... your last goodbye to the world of pain you lived with. I get it, man. So, I'll let you go but, know...... You will live 4ever in the beautiful music that you & those boys have made. Ty, ty, ty, ty, thank you sir, 4 your musical contributions. Munkee out.
I am in a rooftop, alone. It's winter and it's cold right now. I am too cold. I am pissed off right now. I chose Kurt to keep me company with his beautiful songs and keep my mind off the negativity. Thank you Kurt. 💘
@@theDragoon007yaboiCJ yeah mate, also known as tapping your foot. If you could play an instrument, you'd see how natural and borderline automatic it is to tap along with music. There's no crazy skill or coordination involved. If you've ever listened to a song and tapped your foot along with it, you've done it too
@Ronald Drump lol yeah mate, and all a flat earther wants is a photo of the earth from space, but when you show them they just disregard it. How about instead you learn to play an instrument yourself and find out just how automatic that skill is ?
Nirvana means so much to me. This performance in particular is so special and I’m so grateful that it happened. But it’s so heart breaking. I had to look away for years. I literally couldnt stand to watch Kurt. I revisited Bleach the other day and I haven’t been able to stop studying Kurt again and playing his music on a loop. Coming back to this performance, I know I’ll have to take a break again. Sometimes I can’t help but just start crying. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that he’s not around, and that it had to end the way it did. Feels like a perpetual state of grief that I can only get away from if I distract myself. I wish it could have been different, Kurt.
I always come back to this one. I’ve loved Kurt for the majority of my life and I was only 2 when he died. I named my son after him. His full name is Viper Cobain Gee. Cobain lives on 🙏♥️

Same, I remember when I was 5 or 6 I had this on cassette and would play it over and over. I had a tape player that automatically flipped from A to B side and would go to sleep with this on. I love it just the same.
Not only in North America, it happened across the world. 😓😓
Dave and Kurt’s harmony were fantastic
Don't be sad because he's gone,be happy because he was here.
He had a voice like angel❤❤
RIP kurt
Well said

This actually helps 🙁🥺💔❤ty

i love these close ups on kurt's face, it makes me feel calm somehow
I sang Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam every Sunday as a kid. The Vasoline's rendition is genius and hearing your heavenly voice cover it touches my soul in all the right ways. Kurt, You are truly a gift and too good for this world. I love and miss you. Your Murder will be vindicated. You were a Sunbeam for us in this dark place!
Men have a penis women have a vagina...

I've watched and listened to this show countless times over the past 28 years. What a bloody treat to finally watch it in high-res!
Thank you Krist, Kurt, Dave and Pat for the greatest music of our lives.
Dave Groh... bass, drums, and backing vocals.... what a dude.
AND guitar (foo fighters)
dude is the Swiss army knife of rock
Sorry but krist bass , and accordion 🪗
Krist on accordion is real good stuff. Fun times
He's the best.

"Don't expect me to die for thee".

This was fucking pointless the lyrics are very clear...
Pothead well clearly not since they wrote “me” instead of “thee”
Just turn on the captions for the video
30 yrs ago today and it still hurts just as bad...... Still one of their most epic shows to date
This album was great when I was 13 and at 40 it is a masterpiece.
Agree...
Yes Sir 40 here!
Me too fuck sake
Must've been truly amazing to experience this when it came out
Absolutely .. 44 here and sounds more beautiful than it did 29yrs ago.
I’m in class but this is more important
Caleb Green hey man, no apologies. 😉
Good boy :)
Learning can wait
What class? Tell us your story
Lmao I'm taking a shit in school during lunch😂😂
Being a former IV heroin addict..I can feel the pain in his soul. Its written on his face. Grinds his teeth if you look closely. Anyone who thinks he didn't kill himself obviously has not been in the living hell of opiate addiction. I almost killed myself multiple times. Very destructive drug. It literally steals your soul and emotion. The poor guy was fucking miserable. Once you are hooked sex...money...love all goes away and you are left with yourself...depression...and the demon you inject to feel normal. I couldn't shed a tear when my mom died because I was so numb. Just watch the something in the way unplugged. That teeth grinding brings back horrible memories. He's trying to get through the show without banging dope. I miss him. I still clench my teeth and I have been sober for years at a time...peppered with relapse but that is part of recovery. And sober is a difficult term to be sober.You will never forget the feeling of the high and it will stay with you for life waiting for you to be weak. Oh my God the relapse. ...and I never got on the methadone program or suboxone..cold 🥶 turkey. Sick for over a month and a half 🤧. Literally why they warn you about drugs 💉 in school...pure evil 😈 💀
Stay strong brother 👊🏼
You can tell from his eyes he was well topped up-I feel so sad for him....it's a cage with no exit-30 years later;I still dream about it....
amen!
You can see the single tear in his eye on 4:05 .
I've never been addicted to opioids, instead I've gotten to watch them destroy everyone I've loved and cared about. For the past 7 years maybe even more not a day has gone by where i don't think about suicide. How good it would be to finally be done with this shit. I'm gonna ask the judge since his cops wouldn't kill me if he will give me the death sentence for my 3 misdemeanors. Hopefully he says yes
I’m 28 but sometimes Wish I could have been alive during Kurts life
I was… he changed things… If only Kurt knew the impact he had on people’s lives… fucking evil media painted a person with problems as a monster…
I was 19 when this aired on MTV. Kurt was a revelation. He is terribly missed. It was a great time to be alive.
@@kelvinloyola6070they did not do it, I read those meadia
I was 27 when this came out... it was sublime and exactly what I needed. I'm so glad to have been in my 20s in the 90s... there was so much great music constantly coming out. Although there was good music in the 80s, it was nothing like the 90s.
Dave Grohl:
-bass
-singing
-drum(hi-hat)
And that's a reason why I love him
Kurt still shit over him
john,what a looser you are
andré pereira A loose loser 😂
@@JohnJohnson-ez5ks lol kid
Burak Teller how many songs did Dave write for nirvana??
Omg I’ve never ever seen this. Their recorded in studio harder stuff used to fry my nerves because of a mood disorder. I had no earthly idea what I’d missed. I’ve been on a project of late to collect a folk list of stuff 10 or 30 years before my day. Only now with age I can listen to a mournful list of songs and truly appreciate it. hear it for the pure, naked grace it contains. I think developing a wide , interesting (and odd at times) vary of genres is the best blessing in experiences with the mood stuff. So grateful to find another wonder artist, even decades late. ☮️🙏
The facial expression on Kurt's face @4:04 gets me every time!! The poor man looked like he was gonna cry!! Awww hes such a sweet and genuine soul who we lost so young. So much raw talent its crazy/amazing how talented all 3 of them really are❤
I think he was!
U are right
Yes for all the wise cracking and emotional deflection he gave. That look tells it all. Transparent. Great artist
My precious boy ♥️
4:04 that stare of pain was burnt in my memory since this album was out...I love this version...RIP Kurt
That's the look of "I've accepted what's coming"......thoughts about the future had finally stopped playing tennis within the brain- the winner.....outcome....had been secured.
Don't ask me how I know that look.....
🥺
When i was young i didn't realized about his look. Now that i am an older guy it's so clear that he was suffering soo much. Poor Kurt, i hope he is doing well wherever he is right now.
@@hemorragiatropical so true
The theme of this concert, this song in particular, is of a man who is saying goodbye to life.
He seemed like such a gentle soul. Although I was too young to appreciate him at the time, I really appreciate him today. It's such a crying shame he isn't with us now.
О,даааа...как его не хватает, но он всегда с нами,пока слушаем его песни.Курт!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
did you hear nevermind?
Kurt, you’ll never know how much you are loved here
Dave is playing guitar and managing the drums, this man is beyond awesome
He is playing bass but he is still awesome
I saw an interview of Kurt about how they came up with the name Nirvana and it was heartbreaking. He was so special, and pure
4:04 " I'm an absolute legend and all these people loves and my bandmates incredibly.. but still fuck my life"
Love you Kurt, wish you never ever picked up a loaded needle
I’ve been listening to this show on CD since it came out, never knew they had all these guest musicians.
Makes it even better now!
Even dead his teen spirit still live in every heart and his voice stay beautifull
Love kurt ❤❤
1:12 Dave is so precious look how happy he is
I honestly haven't clicked faster on a notification, I was watching about a girl unplugged b4 I clicked on this
I heard that Nirvana really wanted to show that no matter the music, you can touch people. maybe a romantic reading in too much. but I truly believe it. Nirvana and Music is forever my friends. live long and prosper.
0:09 that sparkling in his eyes was so beautiful and it happened as he said "a Christian song". Soooo beautiful 😍❤
Opiates are so hard to get off. He said he started using because of the pain in his stomach and it was so bad he screamed in pain. He also suffered from depression. You can see it in his eyes.
Although we will never know what events led up to his suicide exactly he is greatly missed and i will listen to Nirvana until the day i die.
The heroín is GOD
Honestly Kurt is in a better place in the Aether. I wouldn't want him to be forced to keep living in this type of global civilization.
He was murdered! His lyrics said no he don't have a gun!
"suicide"
Don't expect me to cry, lie, die for Thee.
so deep, they should have put it in the song...
It might be a Vaseline's cover, and full respect to them, but Nirvana made it their song too with this performance.
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam

Your right the lyrics say "Jesus DON'T want me for a sunbeam" it has another meaning if it says doesn't want me
Don't expect me to die for THEE. THEE.

Курт, спасибо тебе за молодость. За твои песни. Далеко в России тебя слушали и слушают сейчас.
❤
Singlehandedly the best performance ever to be captured on TV/Film, etc. The accordion is absolutely perfect for this song and it was just a "Hey, I can play this" moment. Just amazing. So glad I was able to experience it back then. It blew everyone away.
*I hope the next generation will know Nirvana's songs, it's amazing*
eh eh, i will hope
Yep. And I hope that next generation will know Jesus too. ❤ I used to listen Nirvana a lot back in the days... I had a lot of anxiety and depression, I used to smoke and drink a lot etc. I've had a long road from all that darkness via new age deception to our King Jesus Christ. ❤🙏 How I hope that Kurt had knew him and His love too... ❤ Hurts to even think about all the darkness and pain he must have been experienced. Looking back now I realize even better why I was so attracted to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain... I've always had a huge amount of symphathy to that person and how I see things today does not make it any less... 🙏❤ I really guess he was just a really sensitive soul and was too broken by this world... That's where only Jesus can pick you up. 🙏🙏❤ And you will find love and peace. And hope. And a better life! 🙌❤ Jesus loves you.. 🙏❤

What a masterpiece. Unbelievable.
Kurdt, I understand (thru yer music) that pain in your gut that nothing could make it stop. I understand why you done it, man. The only thing that killed your pain & let you enjoy anything without pain was bad, & you saw that, man. You didn't wanna become what you rebelled against. You didn't wanna play "their" games any more. You recorded You Know You're Right, & you were out. That was your greatest song,... your last goodbye to the world of pain you lived with. I get it, man. So, I'll let you go but, know...... You will live 4ever in the beautiful music that you & those boys have made. Ty, ty, ty, ty, thank you sir, 4 your musical contributions. Munkee out.
I am in a rooftop, alone. It's winter and it's cold right now. I am too cold. I am pissed off right now. I chose Kurt to keep me company with his beautiful songs and keep my mind off the negativity. Thank you Kurt. 💘
Shout out to dave, playing bass, keeping the tempo and singing at the same time

No one's talking about it because its not impressive. I take it you don't play music.

@@theDragoon007yaboiCJ yeah mate, also known as tapping your foot. If you could play an instrument, you'd see how natural and borderline automatic it is to tap along with music. There's no crazy skill or coordination involved. If you've ever listened to a song and tapped your foot along with it, you've done it too
@Ronald Drump lol yeah mate, and all a flat earther wants is a photo of the earth from space, but when you show them they just disregard it. How about instead you learn to play an instrument yourself and find out just how automatic that skill is ?
Thank you for whoever's uploading.
- Sincerely every Nirvana fan.
Dave is playing guitar, keeping pace with a tambourine tap and doing backup vocals all at the same time here
Dave grohl is amazing
Those skills came in handy when he had to record an album by himself... twice
Love you Kurt ! Your music saved my life
Agree with that
... HE DID NOT SAVE MY LIFE--- HE SAVED MY HEART FROM NOT DYING!
This
So Dave Grohl is playing bass, drums, and backing vocal AT THE SAME TIME.
Easy peasy
This is how he flexed before AirPods, he was ahead of his time
Basically tapping his foot on the hi hat. Not really that hard. Most guitarist tap their foot while playing anyways. But yeah it's still cool
That's what you call having talent. That's what you call a musician.
@@jhonnycagexrage7458 Krist is shredding like a wild beast on that accordion too. Cred where cred is due.
This MTV concert proved that Kurt was a genius... enough said.
Nirvana means so much to me. This performance in particular is so special and I’m so grateful that it happened. But it’s so heart breaking. I had to look away for years. I literally couldnt stand to watch Kurt. I revisited Bleach the other day and I haven’t been able to stop studying Kurt again and playing his music on a loop. Coming back to this performance, I know I’ll have to take a break again. Sometimes I can’t help but just start crying. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that he’s not around, and that it had to end the way it did. Feels like a perpetual state of grief that I can only get away from if I distract myself. I wish it could have been different, Kurt.
The pressure, the perfection, entertaining is so hard. This is truly unpreasadent.
I always come back to this one. I’ve loved Kurt for the majority of my life and I was only 2 when he died. I named my son after him. His full name is Viper Cobain Gee. Cobain lives on 🙏♥️
I was 12.. hit me so hard because we Dressed like kurt. Etc. I miss Kurt
I'm in Asia and one day if I'll have sons, one is going to be Cobain and Kurt Cobain as always big bro for me from another mother..
Cool name
Some days you need the music. Other days you need the lyrics.
today, i need both haha
That's a good damn point.
Facts
This had both
I think everyone can agree the Nirvana Unplugged performance was the best one
