Reading is cool, but this is always the nirvana show i think of when i think of them. Cobain's raw singing, Novoselic's dancing and delicious lines, and Grohl's assault on the drums... The setlist for this show is actually insane.
Paramount is one of the best Nirvana shows for sure. And in the best recording quality possible :) I think at Reading 92 Kurt was in totally different "mode" just like most of 1992 he was tired with fame and played really slopy.
Damn I miss these guys performing together. An amazing 3 piece, Krist perfectly mudy in your face bass with his huge frame guitar down by his knees, Dave just an absolute beast on those drums like Animal from the muppets, and Kurt's pained and tormented presence as lead. If you were lucky enough to see them live then you know.
@@chiguy4478 get a life lmfao .the only thing odd is somebody taking their anger out on random people online especially on people expressing their admiration for an artist which is common.
This song on FTMBotW was what made me start playing guitar back around 1999. I thought I was a singer like Mick Jagger or something, but then I heard _THIS_ and knew what I needed to do.
This build up is so beautiful on so many levels I can't full describe them 3:02. The calm drumming, Kurt and Krist's bass blending so beautifully, Kurt's distortion kicking in right the very beginning of the 3 count and more. Brings such a euphoric feeling
We were doing the periodic table in class, and when the teacher said what’s lithium I sung the chorus. I was very disappointed in my classmates as no one got it.
The track that made me fall in love with this band. I have to admit the when “Teen Spirit” originally surfaced, I didn’t see the full scope of its appeal. I remember thinking “that it was a great and heavy track”. But, I wasn’t sold on its hype. Then I purchased ‘Nevermind’ that year (1991) and among a track list of unquestionable classics, there lied “Lithium”. The rest is history. My obsession with Nirvana never swayed from that moment onwards. Thank you, Nirvana. Rest In Peace, Kurt. 🙏🏽🤘🏾
I first heard this when I was 16 and it changed my life. Finally someone is singing about the feelings I have and someone who I could relate. Not to mention it's fantastic.
I think Kurt is so underrated as a singer. His voice is ONE in a Billion and it’s almost beyond expression, so intense, sweet, sexy, sad and all from one voice.
It’s just something about nirvanas early performances of lithium in standard tuning. The feel and the energy of the song really shows. One of the best versions of lithium and damn is it just so powerful. What a true masterpiece of a song.
Всем привет , я из города Казань , Россия , хотелось бы сказать Курту огромное спасибо за свою искренность , он научил меня многому в этой жизни , я думаю у фанатов Нирвана особенная связь, независимо от того, в какой точке мира мы находимся, Курт научил нас презирать фальш в людях, любого рода тщеславие, Курт, мы любим тебя и никогда не забудем, ты в лучшем из миров! Только любовь, спасибо!
@@jackmcmullin8616 the sound is odd here, until 1992 I noticed his voice was changing as the drugs and cigs along with yelling slowly destroyed it. By his later 1993/94 he has that metal rasp which is consistant and has that damaged sound that actually sounded good (a bit like Bonnie Tlyer) however here it goes clear a little bit in places. What amazes me is how he sounded better and not worse over time and he never lost his breath control or sounded weak.
This song and drain you are the songs that put Nirvana in the number one slot. This song is sheer genius. He sings he’s not gonna crack but he did. Cracked like an Egg.
Lithium es una cancion legendaria una letra tan profunda que para algunos nos queda tatuada en el alma Esta es mi canción alegre en mis dias de tristeza e infierno
God, Nirvana, i love you, please come back , we need music like this today to save the world it's so raw and passionate and maybe i'm crazy but I can't go one day without hearing a Nirvana song and hearing Kurt's voice , there's just something about it that heals me and fulfills me like nothing else can - love you Nirvana - love you Kurt always and forever. xoxoxoxo
The first time I heard Nirvana was when I heard Weird Al's parody Smells like Nirvana. It was almost immediately one of my favorite songs I'd ever heard him play. I was right at the age where Weird Al is cool, and even though I hadn't started listening to music for anything other than laughing at Weird Al's lyrics, I was right at about the age where a lot of young teens start figuring out their musical tastes, and after first getting into Green Day and Offspring and Weezer, Nirvana was the next band I gave a shot to, and when I heard Smells like teen spirit I was instantly nostalgic, and for years Nirvana was easily my favorite band even though they had just disbanded shortly before I discovered them. All these years later and I still like that same style of hard rock with a catchy pop-like hook to it, and for all their ups and downs, Weezer is now my band, and in almost every album Rivers does something as a nod to Kurt Cobain, and I've always appreciated it and have fun looking for it.
First time I was so high smokin some weed - was given his music to go home n listen to . My friends had tried to get me to listen to it - way before he was popular - I refused . ☹️ But that night I was like dang this is so awesome - he gets it .
Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the greatest songs ever but for some reason I like this one even better. My favorite Nirvana song and this '91 Paramount version is a really great live one.
- Dad, why is my sister named Rose?
- Because your mother loves roses
- Thanks dad
- No problem, Nirvana - Lithium (Live At Paramount, Seattle/1991).
What?
Jajaa temamaste
Because i fucked a hooker w that name during the war
Nirvanana It’s a joke his name is the title of this video because his dad loves it
not sure why this made me die of laughter lol
Dont know why everytime i see Kurt i wanna hug him '-'
The paramount was some of nirvanas finest work, honestly some parts are kinda better then reading in my opinion
Reading is cool, but this is always the nirvana show i think of when i think of them. Cobain's raw singing, Novoselic's dancing and delicious lines, and Grohl's assault on the drums... The setlist for this show is actually insane.
MTV Live and Loud is pretty good too.
Paramount is one of the best Nirvana shows for sure. And in the best recording quality possible :)
I think at Reading 92 Kurt was in totally different "mode" just like most of 1992 he was tired with fame and played really slopy.
The whole show is way better than Reading... 92!
Kurt’s voice is kinda shot in reading and the energy isn’t the same. Paramount, Amsterdam, and Rome are all top tier.
I love how Kris is jumping around and being literally wasted. And Kurt is so calm while he screams.
Cuz it actually drains him
He sings from his stomach pains
So it makes the anger even more raw
Just search blank on blank kurt cobain
Hehe
Yeah well he's singing dont mames
Dave in the background pounding the drums
А может потому что он поёт? Причём старается передать это максимально качественно

Kurt/Nirvana was too good for words. If only he could still be here.
Someone joked on this thread "This is the cleanest looking VHS footage I've ever seen". Best comment ever whoever that was!
thats because its 16mm film and not vhs
krist's bass is so low it almost touches the floor smh
😂😂😂
guy's got big arms.
I’m sure he’s using a thunderbird
SomeDude long arms
Its actually 4 feet off the ground, it just looks that way in proportion to his 8' body :P
It's crazy how his live voice sounds almost like the album, it's rare to find that today...
Nirvana for lifee!!! Rock in paradise Kurttt!!!!
i love how they can make these old live videos so high quality
The best notification on my phone in a last time 👋
With all these live videos, I feel like Kurt is still with us.😥❤ I love you so much Kurt
What!? Thanks for uploading these omg!🤯😱
If sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way i would climb my way to heaven and bring him back home again....
Are they releasing old nirvana clips to get us hype for the new 2019 nirvana album release?
New album?
@@juanitoperez8148 joking
Ritchie Ross Live at the paramount is getting released on vinyl tomorrow on the 12th, so in a way it's a promotion of the release
Only if

favorite bassline ever
Nirvana is a legend. It's good to hear the bass of Krist. Very precise and strong. Kurt we all miss you. R.I.P!
Nirvana Forever!!!
3:19 is the cleanest his voice has ever been. Weird
And it’s right after they’re all distorted

@@jackmcmullin8616 yoooo we almost have the same last name
Bruh its grunge
I think it sounds pretty cool honestly. Way more boy-ish.
I think paramount was there best performance
Mulzy true
Yup
The most different band back in my junior high. I love them a lot,until today
Light my candles in a daze cause I found God. Love you endlessly, Kurt 🌟
Except he didnt find god
No h8 tho i love him
I think he was referring to shooting heroin
@Mutt Evan nope, it's about using religion as a cope
At 1 part you see Dave having stick arms but when you see closer you just randomly this buffed dude playing the drums it’s just crazy
So happy to see live at paramount being uploaded probably best live performance.
Nirvana live paramount is always be a love letter to us❤
This footage is so clean
My favorite band when I was 13 and still listening to them!
I wish I was born then! What I would give to go because Seattle is only a few hours away!
This song and drain you are the songs that put Nirvana in the number one slot. This song is sheer genius.
He sings he’s not gonna crack but he did. Cracked like an Egg.
In my opinion, they will always be the best music band ever
Как приятно, что спустя столько времени, все ещё осталась частичка легенды, и мы можем это видеть. RIP KURT❤
