This is my favorite live performance. Everything about it is amazing: Kurt’s voice, krist’s bass tone, Dave’s drumming. Even the video quality is oddly perfect for this performance.
Damn. Great observation there! He hits those cymbals like they owe him money but he is a stealthy ninja. Does this song have great baseline? Check. Guitar progression? Check. Vocals? Check. Drumming? Check for dayz! Damn Dave has a good!
Lounge act is by far one of nirvanas best songs when he comes in screaming the whole second part that shit gives me fucking goosebumps.unbelievable song.definitely best song on nevermind with drain you coming in close second
Let's break a lance for Pat Smear here, he filled out the sound so well, doing the high riffs during "Very Ape." and it's also clear that he brought the Fun back with the band. Or as Dave put it "He made us feel like kids again."
@timwaterman7790 He wasn't even mentioned when they were inducted into the hall of fame that's so sad and I never understood it. He's the most humble guy that ever existed too he probably didn't say a thing about it
@@sethpujol1704 Dave also went out of his way to not only mention Pat during the performance but during the induction itself, he also mentioned Chad Channing, who SHOULD have been inducted too.
The last great Nirvana show. This is the last time they actually played together where Kurt was actually trying. The first leg of the tour was more glamorous Western European cities and I think Kurt’s heart went out of it when they were about to go into the Eastern European Gulag right after the wall fell. He would not be able to find drugs anywhere in that place and time, or at least it would be extremely dangerous. Most of the last tour was the same Setlist over and over again. I think if they would’ve played different songs every night, or at least throwing a couple of new songs in at every show, it might’ve made things a lot more fun for Kurt. It was a mistake just trying to plow through the tour like that with no drugs.
Krist is such a good bass player I love his fills. For some reason I have always found it hard to hear the bass in nirvana songs, but when I find a version of a song that has the bass loud, I'm 9/10 times pleasantly surprised by his inventive basslines and fills and how good they compliment the drums and guitar. Very good bassist, right from the start, a natural.
almost like Axl in ‘92, they destroyed their voices singing with all that grit at 100% for years on tours. there’s late interviews with Kurt saying his voice was close to shot…
@@daskrunkly3213 but at the end of his career he had severe throat problems by singing like that, in the last nirvana show he couldn't even reach the high notes on heart shaped box
Well... screaming lol. A lot of singers can use distorted vocals to hit the high notes. Even the drummer uses this technique, and he uses a lot. Kurt didnt do nothing much special there.
@@guilhermecastro4553 It’s really more the quality of what he was doing. I understand the premise of false cord vocalization but I mean who since Kurt has really achieved that kind of sound as consistently as him? I was pretty impressed with the guy from Seether doing a Nirvana cover.
@@jimijames27 well, dave grohl, corey taylor, chester bennington, matt bellamy, all the vocalists from the great grunge bands like pearl jam and soundgarden. That's the few ones i can remember. If you listen to more bands, you will see that kurt was just kinda "special" at composing.
@@guilhermecastro4553 The closest you mentioned is Chris Cornell. Even Dave Grohl comments on Kurts ability to vocal fry and distort. If you watch more interviews with Dave maybe you will see it. As for Matt Bellamy of Muse he rarley uses vocal fry or distortion. He utilizes distortion generated by overdrives in his mixes like in the song Drones or Hysteria. Chester definitely had a unique grit but it was more of that Nu Metal style I still say Kurt had something he was doing that was unique. I only say this because I grew up in the 80's/90's when through a Nirvana phase while Kurt was alive, abandoned them in the 2000's and then have recently seen the unique qualities in the last couple of months again. I think they were trying to sound bad more than good most of the time but I can still appreciate Kurts ability to boil gravel as Dave Grohl put it.
@@jimijames27 you have a point, kurt had a natural talent in therms of screaming, but he wasnt even the best screamer in his band. If you listen to foo fighters, you will see that dave is a phenomenal screamer even better than kurt, with no lessons either.
A lot of people in the comments I read don't think that the last tour sounded so good, that Kurt wasn't at his best....but I disagree....kickass setlists, powerful passionate performances, and like Nirvana does best...nothing is supposed to be perfect. I love the live shit from 94, they really had a lot of life left in the box, weather or not Kurt took a break in 94 or not, they had more to offer at some point for sure. You can see they were kicking serious ass here. Great setlists in Europe. I never wished I was in the 60s to see those bands, but I do wish I could have seen Nirvana just once.
Probably cause that's what he said in the alleged suicide note, that in the later shows he was on autopilot, but I just think he was hypercritical. He actually just had his craft locked down. It's sad but at least we have the recordings.
Lord, what a vibrant atmosphere there is! This I understand! Kurt has always sung and will sing with all his heart! The Lounge Act in this interpretation is just super! Goosebumps! I want forever in Nirvana! Take me with you to Nirvana!
I always think it's funny when people say he just wore whatever and didn't care. He knew exactly what he was doing and color coordinated. Even with what guitar he was playing. Maybe not always but he clearly did
Lauren Munkman though it is true that he wasn't fond of it, he did try it out live a few times, but he mostly stuck to the Mustangs. this is in fact one of the few times he used the Jagstang live
Kurt was the most raw and unfettered voice for the wounded kid in so many of us. The last verse of lounge act particularly embodies the vibe i speak of. I was 13 in 1994 and my childhood had burnt away along with the stability in my life, future uncertain. The wounds hurt and then this raw song blared out from the void.
Damn, very ape looks like a ridiculous song to play rythmn guitar & sing at the same time! Specifically the verse. Kurt doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing. Yea, it's not technical or super complicated, but his feedback sense/manipulation, ability to play & sing, even w/rythmn parts that don't always follow the vocal melody (like this song or negative creep for ex.) If you try it, you'll find it's not that easy. You have to work at it. Also, his mistakes still had a way of fitting in to the song- both vocal or on guitar. Kurt was def a full musical talent!
EXACTLY. Combination of playing and singing at the same time and the effectiveness of his melodies. As a guitarist and singer myself, I had to learn how to play amd sing Drain you at the same time because of how quick and the amount of frets you have to slide. Playing and singing these songs are not just baseline talent that everyone has it took me months to learn to play and sing Drain you.
@@nigrebububub5654 I think their first songs were the hardest. aero zeppelin, anorexorcist, beeswax, hairspray queen. they have a lot of crazy changes.
Algunas veces los músicos liberan demasiada dopamina al tocar su instrumento e interpretar su arte. El cerebro se vuelve loco al acertar cada nota, cada palabra. Por ello considero que al acostumbrarse a estos niveles de satisfacción dificilmente algo logra sorprenderlos facilmente All apologies amigos... Descansa en paz Kurt.
i didnt love that much very ape, but live version is really awesome. Plus I used to play the wrong chords, I missed some of them to complete the chords. Thanx to the video I can play it correctly. Lounge act has always been one of my favorites, the bass line is really awesome. Dave is impressive here, as all the band. Really good show. Sorry if I made mistake, i'm high and down at the same time.
You will always be in our hearts. You don't seem to be dead, you're like alive with us... By listening to this, I can feel like you're still with us. Watching these live videos.... Love you kurt😘😣😘
Both killer songs, but Lounge Act was always in my top three favorites off Nevermind, just love those next-level vocals when he really screams them out like that.
A big amounth of energy is seen with them, this smell like immortality. They recorded everything, its nice and professionnal. This Tour is really energical. A nice speed like a military drill, all Is top notch in for the tightness, and Dear Mister Grohl, He hits fastly, tightly and is stronger than ever.
Kurt had it totally together here. his voice sounds as good as ever. not the kind of condition youd figure someone who was gonna kill themsevles would be in.
These days, I only want to listen to Nirvana live. The only other band I feel like this about is Led Zeppelin and maybe The Who. But nothing beats Nirvana, no wonder they were so big in England, I absolutely love this band.
This sounds so close, its great. Really, everything a person could to pull this off, save for shrinking the front man by 6 or so inches and making him left handed, they did it here. The video ended and deadended into a live video of the real nirvana, and its unreal how similar the two sounds were. Great fucking job! Really, superb tribute. These guys mean it!
3:20 Kurt nailed it even better than in the studio version… what a badass singer, as I was convinced as a teen he couldn’t sing because he didn’t have the range of Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury 😂
I am buried up to my neck in Contradictionary lies I take pride as the kind of illiterature I'm very ape and very nice If you ever need anything, please don't Hesitate to ask someone else first I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive I've seen it all, I was here first Out of the ground Into the sky Out of the sky Into the dirt If you ever need anything, please don't Hesitate to ask someone else first I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive I've seen it all, I was here first Out of the ground Into the sky Out of the sky Into the ground Out of the ground Into the sky Out of the sky Into the dirt
Just seeing "1994" in the title of the video makes my heart ache... Poor Kurt, he didn't deserve this fate.
Murdered by people he trusted off
This is my favorite live performance. Everything about it is amazing: Kurt’s voice, krist’s bass tone, Dave’s drumming. Even the video quality is oddly perfect for this performance.
Even after almost thirty years I can still get chills when they play this song and Kurt screams that last verse.
Same here
Same. 1995 14yrs old is still there in me.
Just watch Dave from 3:30 to the end and you realize what a huge part of nirvana's sound he was....love his drumming!
Yep, great fills
Damn. Great observation there! He hits those cymbals like they owe him money but he is a stealthy ninja. Does this song have great baseline? Check. Guitar progression? Check. Vocals? Check. Drumming? Check for dayz! Damn Dave has a good!
He's so fucking solid. My absolute favorite drummer
how bout 0:00 to 4:19?
You know youre right.
Lounge act is by far one of nirvanas best songs when he comes in screaming the whole second part that shit gives me fucking goosebumps.unbelievable song.definitely best song on nevermind with drain you coming in close second
Yes
AGREED sir
Best performance of Lounge Act you'll see. Amazing voice on the last verse!
That double chorus ending on Lounge Act with kurts vocals and Dave going crazy on the cymbals back there....glad someone recorded this
Let's break a lance for Pat Smear here, he filled out the sound so well, doing the high riffs during "Very Ape." and it's also clear that he brought the Fun back with the band. Or as Dave put it "He made us feel like kids again."
Most people don’t even know Pat Smear or how important he was to the success of the Nirvana’s sound. He’s legendary in my book.
@timwaterman7790 He wasn't even mentioned when they were inducted into the hall of fame that's so sad and I never understood it. He's the most humble guy that ever existed too he probably didn't say a thing about it

seems like he would have made a good basketball player. Lanky and jumpy , and good rhythm
I love Kurt's voice during the 94 tour, it's so much heavier and darker than previous years. Reminds me of Jim Morrison's voice in his final year
Kurt should have finished Nirvana at his 30's
almost like Axl in ‘92,
they destroyed their voices singing with all that grit at 100% for years on tours. there’s late interviews with Kurt saying his voice was close to shot…
@@xtherobotmafia yeah but Kurt started using actual vocal techniques in late 93 and in 94, he actually evolved and it was fantastic.
@@daskrunkly3213 but at the end of his career he had severe throat problems by singing like that, in the last nirvana show he couldn't even reach the high notes on heart shaped box
@@luaa9903he was already sick and tired from touring but he keep push his way of singing.
Omg omg omg 2 of my fav Tracks played live, one after another. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same 2 of the best hands down
Agreed
🔥🔥🔥

ME TOO!!! JUST ONCE...in 1994.
true man. I think he really did try and give the fans what they wanted right up to the end. Shame he couldnt hold on mentally.
Probably cause that's what he said in the alleged suicide note, that in the later shows he was on autopilot, but I just think he was hypercritical. He actually just had his craft locked down. It's sad but at least we have the recordings.
I totally agree with you, their 94 tour was still great.
It's pretty rushed compared to his earlier shows.
Watching Dave from 3:14 to the end is like watching a hurricane destroying an entire city.
the sound is really awesome. We miss you, Kurt.
Two of their top songs.
Love seeing concerts from their last 4 months. Awesome upload!
Two of my all time favorite Nirvana songs!
My fingers get so sore playing this song!
wow. . that was one of the best lounge act live..kurt voice was great
Best lounge act performance on youtube!
They absolutely killed it with "Lounge Act". Kurt was in fine form for that song. Best I have ever heard of that song live.
Lord, what a vibrant atmosphere there is! This I understand! Kurt has always sung and will sing with all his heart! The Lounge Act in this interpretation is just super! Goosebumps! I want forever in Nirvana! Take me with you to Nirvana!
да ты шо
I always think it's funny when people say he just wore whatever and didn't care. He knew exactly what he was doing and color coordinated. Even with what guitar he was playing. Maybe not always but he clearly did
Kurt rockin the Jagstang!
Lauren Munkman though it is true that he wasn't fond of it, he did try it out live a few times, but he mostly stuck to the Mustangs. this is in fact one of the few times he used the Jagstang live
um.... that is the jagstang.... he played with it live quite a number of times during late 1993 and through out 1994.
I have a jagstang myself, it's not a bad guitar reckon the body shouldn't be as think as a telecaster though that's the one thing I hate about it
you're wrong. In the video he is clearly playing a jagstand
People said that he didn't like it, but in the end i'm sure he liked it because he would have smash it after 2 song
Kurt's live vocals on Lounge Act here summon tears of catharsis. How could something be so perfect?
Imagine watching Nirvana in 1991 and seeing them 3 years later would've been crazy to see the evolution which took place over the course of 3 years
Two of my favorite songs (aren’t they all?) by Nirvana but both together!!!!
Kurt was the most raw and unfettered voice for the wounded kid in so many of us. The last verse of lounge act particularly embodies the vibe i speak of. I was 13 in 1994 and my childhood had burnt away along with the stability in my life, future uncertain. The wounds hurt and then this raw song blared out from the void.

It feels like Kurt’s telling people not to use his AI afterlife as a source of comfort.
You will always be in our hearts. You don't seem to be dead, you're like alive with us... By listening to this, I can feel like you're still with us. Watching these live videos.... Love you kurt😘😣😘
Amazing Awesome energy!!
the best ever...we need this kind of band
Probably my two favourite Nirvana songs!
Love the way Dave's arms dance at the end of Lounge Act.
Those two songs on that day sounded the closest to the studio version than other live performances of these songs ever.
thank you so much for this!
2 des plus grands morceaux de Nirvana, magique !!!
Both killer songs, but Lounge Act was always in my top three favorites off Nevermind, just love those next-level vocals when he really screams them out like that.
If u ever need anything please dont hesitate to ask someone else first. Best line ever
Followed by “ I feel very privileged, in debt for my thirst!!”
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive!

A nice speed like a military drill, all Is top notch in for the tightness, and Dear Mister Grohl, He hits fastly, tightly and is stronger than ever.
Best Lounge Act performance id say
I love so much!!! Fantastic
Two of my favourite songs, executed perfectly!
even the deep cuts on Bleach, Nevermind & In Utero were powerful songs
nah, bleach is way better. it is raw, true underground grunge.
SOUNDS SO GOOOOODDDD AND GREATTT.
very ape os one of the best songs ever! lyrics so sarcastic and music so great! best song and lounge sct also a great song with super lyrics
Kurt had it totally together here. his voice sounds as good as ever. not the kind of condition youd figure someone who was gonna kill themsevles would be in.
I was thinking that too.
Didn’t kill himself tho
"B-but he didnt seem depressed how could he have actually been depressed?"
He didn’t kill himself at all
Plenty of people seem normal til they’re not. Robin williams, Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell all seemed fine but depressed on the inside.
my two favorite song together crazy!!
Sounds so good especially around 3:33. Even better than the record. My fav band forever 🤘🏽
These days, I only want to listen to Nirvana live. The only other band I feel like this about is Led Zeppelin and maybe The Who. But nothing beats Nirvana, no wonder they were so big in England, I absolutely love this band.
i love you nirvana...
I love the way Pat Smear dances
Awesome video man I love seeing these songs live
Oh man this is sweet as hell
This is great, Thanks!
You don't see very many concert recordings of the 1994 shows. This is probably the best footage I have seen yet from '94
Que mal que haya muerto Kurt, era un gran artista
This sounds so close, its great.
Really, everything a person could to pull this off, save for shrinking the front man by 6 or so inches and making him left handed, they did it here. The video ended and deadended into a live video of the real nirvana, and its unreal how similar the two sounds were.

Everyone: Kurt yeaahhh, Dave yeahh. me: Krist actually made this song with his bass riffs an even better song
is anyone gonna appreciate very ape omg!
@@lukegray7122 Very Ape is an underrated song. It's short, but I find it's long enough to convey all that it needs to.
@@lukegray7122 One of my favorites!!
What a great combo.
U just can't beat nirvana true legends

I love every Nirvana song
Legal o vídeo !
Lounge act , do disco fenomenal " Never Mind ", tocada perfeitamente , igual a gravação do disco ... NIRVANA é foda !!!
Probably my 2 favorite songs of nirvana

God I love that guitar
Its amazing hes doesnt blow his vocal cords out, what a legend. RIP Kurt
Hi Krist U are the best we miss Kurt so much as you!
Two of my favorite nirvana song
Deliciously good.
Whattt.. this is the best screaming of lounge act.. arghhh 🥴
Beautiful voice ♥
Rest in peace my love.
Kurt got serious his last 6 months. Great great live performance here of 2 great underated songs
Such talent.. timeless talent.

Daves drumming is fucking unreal
Two awesome songs
This is great nirvana's live ..sound top🔝❤NIRVANA
It had to be fun playing with Dave
Wow. Just…wow.
Fuckin A two of my favorite Nirvana tunes in one vid!!
My fav song from Nevermind and my fav song from In Utero. Love it
Very ape is all power chords but it's extremely hard to keep up to speed
they r acc so underrated i get that they r popular but most ppl dont truly recognise the amount of talent they have/had
This last , love u Kurt 😭
Truth, covered in security....
SalDOWN Or "truth covered insecurity"

Damn! They were all in the pocket on Lounge Act.
Best performances ever holy shit
