Clearwater, FL 33758
There's a moment in the live performance when he takes a deep breath and he opens his eyes and has this deathly stare for a split second, freaking chills me to the core every time I see it......🤘😶🤘
Ya that moment is one of those brutally beautiful things.. you could always hear the pain in him thru his voice, but this performance gave the perfect vision of it all as well.. just how much he poured himself into the music, and that wasn’t even a Nirvana song, he just loves music and feels it so deep… that part, with the breath, pause and look is just chilling.. and hindsight makes it haunting knowing what was to come next… you could tell he was tired and exhausted, old soul for sure I believe…
Nirvana unplugged is my favorite unplugged sessions. Alice In Chains was a close second.
that's a heroin stare
@@davidvied2507 I too believe that. I'll never forget watching the night the it premiered. That last look I knew the end was coming. I wasn't sure what but I felt it as a 24 year old. You take care and stay safe 😷
It's like Kurt saw his whole life in that split second. Ill remember that moment until the day I die.
Some say Kurt left his soul on stage that night. I'm not the biggest nirvana fan but this performance was powerful and beyond fantastic.
I think he was already gone...
This song always gives me goosebumps when Kurt turns it up a notch
Kurt's voice embodies the overall tone of my teenage years. Anger and anxiety. We called it angst.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I think defines the whole grunge genre.
you're 16, dont lie
@@Gormdub🤫 only emotionally..... Physically approaching 50. Psychologically..... well I think we're all screwed in that department
Teenage angst has paid of well.. now I’m bored and old
@@bigcheese185 great quote
Brad, please never regret asking Lex what she thinks a song or singer sounds like. "A can of coke when you 1st pop it open". I nearly spit out my morning coffee on that one.
Brian Johnson sounding like "grape juice" about killed me.
@@robotto8858 Eddie Vedder sounding like bacon grease, there are so many.
🤣🤣 Brian Johnson sounds like he gargled Wild Turkey mixed with shards of glass
@@gizzy2403 Sund like a Alien Ant Farm to me, had me in sticthes
I had a whole conversation like this with a girl about perfume yesterday. She'd said she was a teacher, and I presumed she taught English with such metaphors...because I used to teach English, and we totally understood each other's weird-ass descriptions.
Great cover of the legendary bluesman Lead Belly. You guys are great, enjoy your posts. Lex's reactions are priceless!
They did cover Lead Belly's version but he was just the first to record it. It was an American folk trad before that and author is unknown
@@antivanti Yup. It's actually two songs combined. The Longest Train and In the Pines.
Authorship of both songs is unknown and were sung for many years before Bill Munroe or Lead Belly recorded their versions in the 40s and 50s...
The song as it is in this combined or conjoined state also has more than one name...
Just before this song, on the album and when they recorded it, Kurt joked about how he had asked David Geffen to buy Lead Belly's guitar for him.
Here's a link to the Leadbelly version recorded in 1944 I think:
th-cam.com/video/PsfcUZBMSSg/w-d-xo.html
No it's an old hillbilly song, lead belly just covered it.
The producers of 'MTV Unplugged' said this was their favorite episode because Nirvana unplugged from most of their own music and chose to do cover songs of the people who influenced them.
Brad is so calculated when he listens and analyzes the tracks. I love it. Then Lex just shoots from the hip. I love that too. It's a great combo to react to these songs to.
Speak my mind
"A can of coke?!" Brad will never be bored or lack excitement as long he has Lez by his side😭
That woman is straight fire to her core, very lucky man.
yes, because she is leagues beyond him in depth.
@@donaldc3884 they are equal in their respective attributes, but yes she is a unique gift as are all our women and partners , a special gift to us men
@@d4mdcykey dude i was thinking the same exact fcking thing geeeeez She is so awesome
Kurt's vocals are never really talked about enough but he's a great vocalist, very underrated. But I get it, when you're alongside vocalists like Eddie vedder, layne staley and Chris cornell its hard to stand out. Possibly the greatest era ever for vocalists in My opinion
I totally agree, they all had there own amazing vocals but Kurt will always be my favorite, maybe why there aren't many people that can sing like him to this day lol
@@fenderfox5080 Overrated if you ask me. They were great singers but there are many great singers before them.
@@keithgraham8588 well there's always going to be great singers before you. I'm sure they'd have all agreed and consider them as their inspirations.
Kurt had the best scream!!
@@bryantanirau-stanley3969 he really did, I haven't heard anyone quite like it since
People say this was originally by Lead Belly, but it actually goes back even further than the 1940's, to before audio recordings. The original writer is unknown but it goes as far back as the mid-late 1800's. It was sung in various forms, under different titles, "Black Girl", "In the Pines", "My Girl", "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", etc. The version Nirvana did was probably mostly influenced by one of Lead Belly's versions.
Pretty much the same story for house of the rising sun
@@davidsharples1980 And the modern version of Black Betty, a lot of Lead Belly's songs were adaptations of African American folk music that would have been passed on by ear. Nirvanas version of this song is definitely inspired by Lead Belly, they mention it in the preamble to the song on the album.
commonly song by people in the Appalachian mountains to my understanding during the late 1800's. kinda creepy kinda beautiful
You can say that about any blues song. Blues was created from slaves being the only way to get their feelings out about their struggles. Obviously a lot of em weren't recorded. If you ever watched the full version of the unplugged session Kurt and Chris literally say Lead Belly is one of their favorite artists.
Well said!! 😎🤘
In the video when he takes that deep breath, opens his eyes then finishes,
that was like the ultimate ending.
It was like he gave every bit of his heart and soul into that song.
Everybody got goosebumps. Even now I'm getting goosebumps talking about it.
If I remember correctly, that’s why Kurt wouldn’t do an encore. Said he couldn’t top that
When Lex's descriptions hit the mark and I find myself saying out loud "Yes exactly Lex!"🤣🤟
Same lmao, she's spot on
Same. Do it all the time
4:14
If you wanna hear how far his voice can go listen to the cover of Lake of Fire
Yes!!! My favorite!!! ❤️
Yeah great suggestion! People never check that out
Fkn sick song.
@@LSD123. hell yeah. That cover is just absolutely unreal. Fuck this is making me sad….ive loved kurt cobain as an artist/singer since i was 4yrs old
The eyes. On the final breath before “night through”. Every time
Because they didn't watch the video and see that moment because he has his eyes closed most of the time but when that moment when he opens his eyes he takes that breath ..god he was amazing musician and he could draw you in so well.
"Scratchy pain and suffering". Might be the best description of Nirvana, and the whole grunge movement, I've ever heard. And this is a very old blues song by a guy called Leadbelly.
It's a lot older than that.
This entire live performance is legendary. Most of the songs they performed were covers and he made each and every one of them his own. I would say he even bested the originals of all of them. Amazing. I dont even listen to the rest of the nirvana catalog anymore but this album gets a full play several times a year.
Agreed. I'm not a nirvana fan but I enjoyed their unplugged album. The man who sold the world, the meat puppets songs and this one of course were great. Better than the nirvana songs.
"I want to ask him if he is okay after that song". Too soon man, too soon.
Chills. Every damn time.
God, he was amazing at what he did.
this is 90's grunge, blues, folk music smashed together.
This is one of my favorite live performances period. Not just nirvana, period. It never ceases to send CHILLS down my spine especially when he starts practically screaming hahah
This was Kurt's swan song. Absolutely mindblowing performance. No words
That last note you can feel Kurts soul leave his body. It’s so amazing live !!!
OLD blues song. Lead Belly was an amazing early 1900's blues man. I don't think many people realize how many songs of his were covered. He was awesome.
i love watching Lex and her facial expression when she falls in love with a song she's never heard before..
It’s almost like kurts soul left his body on the last scream. Rip.
The last stanza explodes with emotion. Cobain had the knack of vocalising pain and hurt that only a few great singers can, Jonny Cash springs to mind.
Lex is always just enjoying the music for how it makes her feel in the moment while brad is always pausing it and trying to figure it out. 😂
😂😂
He passed away not long after this show on MTV unplugged. It was a song that he redid from Leadbelly
The entire Unplugged performance is AMAZING!!
The live Unplugged performance of this song is mesmerizing.
Love Kurt's voice in this it's like a hound dog crying about the loss of its owner. So powerful towards the end and really does justice to this awesome blues track from Lead Belly.
YES!!! A HOUND DOG!!!
Dude, when Lex jumped lol that was priceless
The whole unplugged performance was his goodbye
Ouch.
They weren't even fazed when Kurt sang, "...His head was found in a driving wheel, but his body never was found." haha
I loved this unplugged, almost as much as Alice in Chains.
Man who sold the world was another great cover that he made his own
In the beginning of the song he is calmly saying like "girl, i _know_ what u did.."
When he raises his voice it is like "I´m saying I KNOW, so stop denying it".. like desperation in his voice!
Cobain could relay emotions with his voice like few artists can :)
Leadbelly wrote this & it went; "Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me" Leadbelly was a African-American who served time for manslaughter before being discovered and presented in NYC to introduce rural black music to mainstream culture. he wrote the well-known song " goodnight Irene"
"I wanna check on him and see if he's okay"
He's not
Listen to Aneurism, and You Know Youre Right, by Nirvana. You Know Youre Right was the last song Kurt recorded before his passing, and it didnt come out until years after he dies, after a lengthy battle between the rest of Nirvana and Courtney Love, Kurts wife, she didnt want to release the song.
everyone is speaking about Kurt voice, and that fair, but that cello, that friggin cello gives me an eargasm
I had a close friend from school...a guitarist...lived in Fla...had some issues...alcohol, mainly...he was homeless. He loved Kurt. Idolized him. As soon as he could, late 40s, he went to Seattle just to sit on Kurts bench. He was robbed and stabbed. Died there. Probably right where he wanted to be.
I do miss him though. Rest in Power, Jeff!
it"s an old ledbelly song from 1939. Kurt paying respect and I think he does a great job.
A lot of these people that listen to this song , maybe don't realize this? I wish they would go listen to Leadbelly. Awesome tune!
It was in various forms before Huddie. It was a real old folk song from the 19th century.
his voice makes the song so emotional.
Listening to you speak on Kurt Cobain it almost feels like you don't know of how he died. Him and Layne Staley were both hurt souls. RIP to both of them.
Died on the same day. April 5th, which happens to be my buddy's birthday
His graspy voice is beyond awesome
Lex your descriptions are fucking amazing. I love it so much! The way you interpret what a voice or song sounds like is so uniquely you. And Brad is totally getting there! He said it has texture!! Girl you’re wearing off on him! 🤣 Kurt makes it look like he ain’t trying. I loved your reaction when he kicked it up!
The entire unplugged set was Nirvana doing acoustic covers. Where did you sleep last night is an old blues song by a dude named Lead Belly.
Lex is a rocker, Brad always seems lost & confused - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
Love you two. Such a moving reaction. Thanks.
I’m so glad you guys enjoyed that song. That whole acoustic album was terrific. In my opinion not a bad song on it.
Nirvana led the grunge scene from Seattle, but this track was off their MTV unplugged session, which really showed another side of them, with stripped back instruments and vocals.
Aw man, I clicked on this so damn fast!! The song, and Kurt's performance of it... just freaking badass! *#pureblues*
"His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found"
Woman on right smiling and enjoying it.
You really need to watch the performance. The look in his eyes at that moment of completing the lyric and the breath and stare in that instance was him taking his last breath in front of a live television audience. It really is a symbol of the end of his life to me. Gives me chills everytime i see it. He knew that was it for him. Gone way before his time! RIP KURT😢
They _did_ watch the performance. They just had to cover up the video on TH-cam to avoid copyright strikes, as they stated in the video description.
This was performed in November 1993, by April 1994 he was gone. Less than half a year.
kurt had a voice that combined rusty chainsaw, with a loyal dog that has just been spanked! pain, misunderstanding, fury and passion. big love to all people :)
i LOVE the way Lex describes things. You should write poetry, honestly.
Lex your reactions are pure joy and feeling. You are rock n roll.
I love seeing newer generations enjoy these music gems just like I did. This song is a masterpiece of music driving a foreboding feeling about the story, and there really are very few lyrics that never directly state what bizarre tragedy occurred, but the music pushes you to understand that this should be taken in a dramatic fashion. Brilliant.
Another spot on description of a voice.
The unplugged video to this is a must
"Like a can of coke when you first pop it open- the wshcshxshcsh"
Why is this so Rock & Roll
This band started the grunge genre
"Is he OK?" No, he was definitely not OK. Kurt was ALWAYS in pain of one sort or another. If it wasn't his marriage (Courtney Love), it was his unidentifiable stomach condition or the catastrophic heroin addiction that he developed while trying to deal with his physical pain and which was enabled by his wife. On top of all of that, there was his existential pain about being an icon that he never wanted to be. It's no wonder that he killed himself shortly after this was recorded.
He didnt kill himself
@@_MOORE_1986 Sometimes the obvious answer is the answer.
"Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself."
- Twitter User, circa 1994
Yeah that last pained note really gives you the chills when you know it was basically the last thing he sang on stage... And you can totally hear the pain and anguish
@@ChrisHendrickson82 it's not as obvious as you claim it is.
"vocal fry" is what it's called. Cobain spent a LOT of time getting that technique down. It's interesting to listen to his demo recordings from about age 18 up to around 22-23 when he really started nailing it. Apparently it was a really big deal for him to get his voice exactly how he wanted it to be - it was definitely purposeful.
Please review “You know You’re right”. It’s his last song, basically his suicide letter to his fans.
At the time the only unplugged performance to play everyone else's songs. Amazing how much you see someone struggle right in front if you and .. still shocked at results
Oh I can't wait till you guys do "Royal Tea" "Plateau" and "Lake of Fire" from Nirvana's Live Unplugged.
I know you 2 take my suggestions more often than not. I know its because a ton of people also suggest the same things. But those 3 songs are one I hit repeat on often as they just embody the spirit of Kurt
Couldn’t agree more!!
Pennyroyal Tea
Might as well react to Meat Puppets! Plateau and Lake of Fire.
Probably been mentioned but this one of if not the last live performance before he took his life. It was his absolute Swan Song
Some more Nirvana recommendations would be About A Girl, Polly, Scentless Apprentice, Dumb, Rape Me, Breed, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Lounge Act, Sliver, Negative Creep, Love Buzz and so many others.
Polly is a deep one
basically every nirvana songs are great ,even the unreleased one such as blandest , verse chorus verse , sappy , old age ..etc
Yes, "Negative Creep"! I love Nirnava and that song hits top 5 for sure 👍👍
Fuck I love Lex's accent. I can't help but think of some of those classic sixties singers being interviewed when i hear her voice.
I'd describe Kurt's voice as raspy, but a can of coke being opened is a good description Lex.
You have to watch the live performance. It's even more powerful. One of the best live music performances ever. I've seen it 1000 times and it still makes hair in my arms stand. So fucking good.
This is from *MTV Unplugged* where bands would come on & play their hit acoustically but *Nirvana* flipped that on its head & didn't play any of their own music.
They did a bunch of their own songs.
@@danbougourd2525 This, they did a bunch of their own songs, they just avoided the huge hits like Smells Like Teen Spirit and played the songs they wanted to play.
That's one hell of a way to go out.
One of my favorite covers from Nirvana. Dark lyrics. "His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found". I also loved Lex reaction when he started rocking out.
Dried up well
Lex your reaction to that godly rasp gives me hope for the younger generations.
The "Unplugged in New York" session/album was really a thing back then... I still think it´s one of the best albums of all time :)
When MTV was about music... seems like a century ago :(
I still get goosebumps when he wails near the end. It's a mixture of disturbing emotions and I can't get enough of it. This band is so important to rock music in the big scheme of things and I will always be grateful for them. Nice reaction as always guys!
Lex is as good a music critic as anyone that ever wrote for Rolling Stone.
I love Lex's descriptions. As a vocalist myself, and a friend of Kurt's, your sensory analogy of Kurt's voice, in this particular song, was spot on. Love your videos! Take care....
Dope
On this cold night in November, this was a direct question to his Wife, who he knew was cheating on him at the time, you can feel it. It wasn't just a song for us. Chills forever
ABSOLUTELY!!! His die hard fans knew he was singing to her! I cried because n my teenage Grunge bones, I felt we were going to lose him AND YES, ITS COURTNEYS FAULT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!
That scrappy voice was a great aspect of his singing as it made you feel like he was really emotionally invested in all his songs he's 1 in a generation.RIP mate.
I still vote for The Toadies - Possum Kingdom or Tyler
Tyler is one of my favorite songs ever.
One of the most underrated bands ever. When I can listen to an album from start to finish and not hear a bad song... Amazing band.
@@jeremylester600 I agree every song is good! Did you get into Vaden’s spin off group Burden Brothers? A few song are Beautiful Night and Buried In Your Black Heart.
Dude, I sound checked, drunkenly, for the Toadies at 18 in Louisiana and tryed to to help the Burden Brothers get into a club in Minnesota when the doors were locked and they needed to get in for sound check. That was weird, seeing BB for the first time in all their leather and makeup.
Vaden is so down to earth and nice. Be in the audience at his shows... no words.
Nirvana - You Know You're Right
This is a cover of a classic blues song by Lead Belly. The Seattle grunge boys were really bringing back the blues when you look at the music timeline. The hedonism of the 80s followed by this grunge music that was emotional and earnest like the blues. This is also the first time I really agree with one of Lex's analogies. He hella sounds like a Coke! When I drink a coke I feel like I have some Kurt in my throat. Not in that way!
By far Nirvana was the best unplugged MTV ever had. This song was so true to what was going on with him & Courtney. And no one knew til later how true this was.
There was a documentary where Courtney Love (his wife) admitted to cheating on him while over in Europe around this time. And he knew it and she couldn't figure out how he found out. Adds some powerful emotion to this song with that in mind.
Fucking goose bumps Kurt!! Thank you for showering these next gens with your pure
So to clear up your "what is grunge" debate. The bands that all came out of Seattle area knew each other and had this dirty, muddy sound and began to be known as "grunge." But record labels began to use it to market any similar sounding band which people did not like. Turning something organic into something manufactured. Completely not in line with the feeling of "grunge" Hence the debate, is something "grunge" or alt rock. Well depends who you ask.
The record label SubPop was responsible for birthing the grunge seen to the world . they started with bands like mudhoney an rest is history
from what i recall, the bands themselves weren't calling it grunge. They were calling themselves rock bands. The "Grunge" term was purely by record label execs who slapped it everywhere and gave it the name.
Grunge was still alternative and each band had something going for it. Alice in Chains has some metal to me, Nirvana was punk, etc.
Drop D tuning of the guitar gave it that heavy raunchy sound. Plus they were all talented af!
@@aaronandfelicia there were not any grunge bands tuning down . the numetal bands brought in the age of down tuning bands like korn an deftones cause they had started useinh 7 strings an down tuneing
I hate the term alternative rock ..grunge is hard/heavy rock.. alternative is rem pixies stuff like that
Nirvana MTV Unplugged is by far my most favourite album.
Its not about technicalities or perfection! It's pure emotion, and pain!
I love hearing lex’s material world phase transition gut feeling takes
Oh, Kurt could definitely relate to having a bad woman. There was a lot of hurt.
I think Dave Grohl said once that Kurt was "spitting nails". I think that's a perfect description.
Hello please do "The Man Who Sold the World" or "Polly Wants a Cracker" by Nirvana
There is no "Polly Wants a Cracker" by Nirvana, only "Polly".
There is also New wave Polly
A traditional folk song that originates from 2 songs. 'In the pines' and 'The longest train' dating back to 1870's.
This is a cover of an old blues song by Leadbelly.
Nirvana - Aneurysm (personal fav) Breed, Polly, Lithium, come as you are etc., etc.
