    pretend i didn't misspell disastrous in the title card, and let me know what shows i missed/any corrections i should issue!
    one notable omission is November 27th, 1991 for their Top of the Pops performance, when the band were forced to play to backing tracks, and made a complete joke of it

      The people who create al theses tour dates are responsible for artists flipping and ending up in rehab for me. Humans in general need down time to recover and space out for a while. I heard Kurt was coughing blood from screaming the songs out every night and that his record label and his wife where pressuring him to play that Lollapalooza festival as he'd receive 10 million dollars for doing so. It's clear that he was surrounded by vultures who only saw dollar signs when they looked at him.
      I think he was either taken out as the label knew that he was worth more dead than alive. It was reported that he was divorcing Courtney so there was a lot on his mind. It's also rumoured that he was seeing Kristen Pfaff a bassist in Courtney's band Hole and how Courtney went into a jealous rage after discovering this only to plot Kristens death. She was seen at Kristen's apartment the night she died of a supposed overdose in her bathroom. I personally think Kurt was fearing for his life in the end and because he had spoken about suicide before, Courtney had to perfect reason to be able to take Kurt out and make it look like another suicide attempt. I think in the end, Kurt's own mouth let him down in the end, he gave his wife the perfect way to plan his murder and get away with it.

      Fyi the "t" in Krist's name is silent, & is pronounced identical to "Chris", which was his given/birth name. He only amended the spelling at the suggestion of Slovakian relatives he met on tour (94 I think)...

      I think he screams “you’re a prick” if you listen closely. At that time some people didn’t really like him or Courtney due to the drug stuff and them getting their baby taken. And then, the public basically knowing he was still on drugs and a father. So it does make more sense someone would yell that I guess. But maybe you are right I don’t know.

      I think he was actually laughing because someone underneath the stage tripped or something along the lines of that and was taken away by bouncers I think it's because said person tried to run on stage but slipped face planted and was escorted out, because you can kind of see Kurt looking downwards and then laughing

    Excellent compilation. The most notable omissions are their TV appearances in France and Italy in 1994. They are great and enoyable for us fans, but were clearly painful disasters for Cobain. At least the Italian TV appearance is covered in "Come as you are" and worth a read in this context.

    in the day of the band's last show, at Munich at march 1st '94, the mand members had respiratory symptoms, Kurt struggled a lot to hit higher nots during the songs, losing his voice at some points, and because of that, the band couldn't even perform Teen Spirit. also the venue had an electrical shortage during the performance of "Come As You Are", and the band had to start over minutes later. at another point, when Krist went to talk to the crowd, he said a whole melancholic speech about grunge being dead and Nirvana being over. nobody knew it was to be the band's last performance.

    One of my favorite shows, and I don't remember where or when it was, has an audience member yelling out for "About A Girl" and also "play songs about girls, man," and Kurt mocks him relentless the entire show. Also, any show where Kurt's guitar goes out and he has to stop and mess with it so Krist is left singing is a gem in my book. Finally, while not a disaster at all, I love the Austria show where Kurt says they saw a kangaroo and thanks the audience by saying "donkey show."

    I wrote about this in a couple other videos but, I saw them in Davenport Iowa during the InUtero tour. There was a RollingStone reporter following along.
    The show had two opening acts-Gumball(?) and Mudhoney.
    When Nirvana came on I was in the squish at the front row. Kurt didn’t look like he was having any fun and he didn’t speak to the audience really at all. I’m pretty sure Kurt had ringworm on his cheek-so, he didn’t look very healthy. He still beat the isht out of us and it’s the best single performance I’ve ever personally seen-and I’ve seen some real pros.
    The arena-or whatever you wanna call it had a ton of shows in the 90s. The mosh pit never made it past halfway through the crowd-soundgarden, Alice, Pantera….. When Kurt started blasting away with Breed-the mosh pit went all the way through to the back of the arena where they were selling keg beer. Lasted the entire song. I had been forced to abandon my front row position in a panic due to the crush-so, I was in the stands and saw it all. Amazing. Never happened again.
    The rolling stone reporter would later write that it was after this show in friggen crappy Davenport Iowa that everyone knew the in Utero tour was going to end in disaster.
    The reason why I bailed from the front row was because I was dying from heat. I was getting a steady cool breeze though on my back that kept me in the game. When I decided to investigate where the cool breeze was coming from i noticed the biggest set of nostrils I’d ever seen right over my head. It was some huge drunk dudes nose breath that was cooling me down. I kind of think that was the last mosh I ever participated in but I might be wrong.

    The second gig in Brazil that's mentioned here, Kurt was certainly using a lot more than Cocaine. Layne Staley from Alice in Chains hired people to get heroin into Brazil which he would share with people who were also heroin addicts. The night before the show, Mike Starr had been in Kurt's hotel room shooting up heroin and cocaine, then Mike went to Layne's room where he shot up more and overdosed. He was unresponsive for around 9 minutes, probably dead towards the end. Layne in a panic gave him some form of adrenaline and was screaming at him to wake up. Mike ended up waking up in the bathtub, soaking wet with Layne sobbing. Laynes completely blew out his voice which is obvious at the show the following day.
    So not only was the Hollywood Rock festival a disaster for Nirvana, but was also a disaster for Alice in Chains and was actually the last show Mike Starr performed with the band.

    @7:37 so interesting with this bit as before this moment in time of watching I had always interpreted that incident completely differently: I can’t remember which book on Kurt or Nirvana it would have been but it was stated that the bouncer was just trying to “help Kurt back on stage” and Kurt mistook him for attacking and then whacked him with the guitar whilst he tried to pull him back on stage and that was what made the bouncer deliberately attack him afterwards. But actually when you put the friend’s mixing desk situation in there, it’s obvious it’s an intentional attack from that moment. Just amazing after all these years to realise it was different than had been read before. ❤

    A buddy of mine was one of the bouncers at Trees that night in Dallas. He said Kurt deserved what he got. The strap lock on Kurt’s guitar cracked that guys head open when he hit him with it. I almost went to that show , but I bought weed instead. Lol. Big mistake in hindsight, but at that time , we didn’t know what they were going to become. I had , (and still have) the Subpop “ Bleach “ cassette at that time. I figured that I’d see em again at some point. I never did .
