That’s because they took it seriously here lol. Usually they take any opportunity to mess around with this song cuz Kurt hated it, but this was earlier on so they weren’t sick of it yet
30 years later and I still am amazed that all the song contains is: 1 guitar, 1 bass, and 1 drum set. The explosive power with a few simple ingredients. Love it.
It actually doesn’t. In the solo in the album version there is a guitar playing the main riff in the background. Now if you’re referring to when they play it live then yes you’re correct.
It’s no wonder so many people (including myself) see Kurt as such a powerful figure in music history, he took simple guitar techniques such as power chords and made a masterpiece. Then his lyrics and the way he sings them allows him to express his anger and other emotions to make people feel happy, it’s a shame that it didn’t make him happy like it made others happy.
I think music was one of the few things that did make him happy. He just came from an unfortunate broken background and had mental health issues and a nasty drug addiction, both of which we didn't know how to deal with back then.
Power chords are actually the reason why his music was pretty complex. Power chords have no minor/major/seventh, so you can sing how you want.. that´s how Kurt composed such great unconventional melodies. Most "musical experts" get stuck on their own theory knowledge
Was 19 when I first heard this masterpiece. Could not believe this was actually coming through my speakers. It was surreal. There are a handful of things that pass through your soul while you are on this planet. This my friend was one of them. Thank you Kurt.. then now and forever.
For people wondering where this footage came from, it was part of the 20th anniversary box set of Nevermind. The footage from the concert was remastered and released on dvd. It used to be an exclusive until independent channels uploaded the footage to TH-cam. I guess the label eventually decided to release it officially. Pretty cool to see though!
@@6whiteshadows I think he hated it because he might have thought that people we're thinking of Nirvana as a "one-trick pony" band... But Nevermind reached it's peak in 1992, so maybe this was before their spike to the top in terms of popularity?
This came out when I turned 20. I was a fan, but I loved many other bands. But ever since I got in my mid forties I’ve been listening to them non stop. I am now 51 and my wife, my kids and I are listening to Nirvana almost every day 🤟
This is the first Nirvana song I heard, I played it back about 10 times. I've listened to every Nirvana album but this will always be my favorite song. It's not overrated in any way. One of the greatest songs ever written.
You know the song its good when you watch a video from 30 years ago, and you still hear the same song in festivals and in the radio atm. Nirvana will never die.
The funny thing is, as good as the song is today given it's timeless appeal, it was even more mind blowing during that time in the context of the prevailing musical landscape, when it was released, as it was genre defining. People never heard the likes of it before. I wish I was there.
@@gordonchristophertubo3164 im 31 years old, i grew up listen this kind of music, a time that internet was starting, youtube didnt exist, neither social networks, so yeah, it was a really big thing
I am almost literally broke my neck headbanging to this in 1991. One cannot describe the words at the time to hear this song when it came out. I was 18 that year. Sometimes my neck was sore for weeks. You either lived the scene back then or too f#king bad!
Dave Grohl looks so different back then too. So epic in a recent concert Dave reprised his role of drumming to this song and he’s still got it all these years later!
The Best "SLTS" Live Performance in my honest opinion... Damn. 😁 Kurt's Voice: ☑️ Kurt's Guitar Tone: ☑️ Dave's Beast Drumming: ☑️ Krist's Long Hand Bass: ☑️
This is really a priceless piece of music history. Such a raw, clean, early and f'n amazing video capturing the youth and honesty of Nirvana. Wicked strong bass track, skinny little 21 year old wailing away on the drum kit, nice solo from Kurt who look relatively healthy and sincere. Absolutely amazing. Good times. Great, great music.
I think Homer Simpson summed up grunge in one line: And thanks to your gloomy music [my kids] finally stopped dreaming of a future I can't possibly provide!
Kurt never really hated this song. He hated that a lot of people obsessed over it and were missing out on the other great songs he wrote. I totally get that. Obviously, this is just about everyone's favorite, but there are many great songs other than this. For me, it's Lounge Act, Aneurysm, Dumb, Something in the Way, Polly and Heart Shaped Box.
Kurt used to wear a lot of clothes because he didn’t like his body, when he went to school he was bullied for being thin. I watched this in a documentary.
Zawsze będę pamiętać jak pierwszy raz to usłyszałam w siermiężnej polskiej tv na początku lat 90-tych. Pamiętam, ze było to koło południa, po powrocie ze szkoly podstawowej. Na dwójce puszczali wtedy teledyski przez pol godziny. To był dla mnie szok. Wbiło mnie w kanapę. Puściłam telewizor na cały możliwy regulator. Sąsiedzi z bloku tez tego dnia sluchali Nirvany
Look at my Playlists yes, maybe so, but that isn't how remastering works. As I'd already said, you can't make a 144p video into 4K. The videos looked good to begin with.
He was missing chords because he was on drugs. That's the sad reality unfortunately. At the beginning of his career you'd never see him miss a chord and he was vocally just like in the studio version, and later you can see how his stage performance decreased year by year. This is a video from 1991, find another one just a year later, 1992, you'll notice the decrease even though it's just a year later.
@@petemitchell9996 lmfao believing the media bs.He was great by 1993/1994 he even said he loved sometimes playing sloppy and passionate on stage rather than being perfect thats what attracted him to punk music in the first place, it has nothing to do with drugs plus he wasn’t a crazed addict he only took it to calm his stomach pain and never been an evidence where he took before stage, he himself said he didn’t do it publicly so the lies that came after his passing from his wife and the media who painted him as an addict doing it all the time is just bs by 1992 when his daughter was born he was getting cleaner and by 1993/1994 especially in 1994 he was at a great state of being you can see at his last tour he was enjoying playing and was in great mood even tho in some songs he actually changed some lyrics cussing CL in a song about her so that’s the only things that changed in his later tours lol and even some of the staff that were with nirvana said he was in a great mood in his last tours and was enjoying himself performing
32 years later, and that's almost my age! It's still fantastic, and Dave Growl is a legend, he was the drummer of an amazing band and the lead singer of an equally great band!
@@linamariaorozcouribe5291 OK. Then I'm not the only one who thinks that grunge and punk rock are almost the same music genre. I am a hard rock and punk rock fan. When I heard Nirvana for the first time in 1990 or 1991, it was like a revelation to me.
I always thought that Krist the bass player looked like Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! Man I loved living in Seattle when all this happened. The energy in all those clubs like the Central, Paramount, the Off Ramp, Bumper Shoot at the Seattle center and so many others was amazing for me to see in my early 20’s! Stage diving and mosh pits were the essence of our youth and grunge was in our blood! This music still stands the test of time.
Why are so many books out now basically saying no grunge scene even existed in Seattle? Apparently there were no venues, and bands basically just played for each other. I don't see how that's possible, considering 4 bands came out of the same city within a year of each other..
I love the evolution of this song and how there are different versions. The original starting with "Come out and play" and how this one you also see how instead of "our little group" is "our little tribe". It really fun seeing all Kurt's different ideas in a song.
@One O One shut up, I wanna make music in a time where people appreciate my skill. Pff I don't care about deseaces . And I thought AIDS came up in the 80's?
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the gateway drug that got everyone hooked on Nirvana. I remember hearing this for the first time in 1991 on KROQ here in Southern California. The song landed so well they played it two times in a row. I immediately ran out and bought "Nevermind"....then "Bleach" the next day. I've been hooked ever since.
@@almichael74 actually i was really liked territorial pissings and was terrified for a long time of drain you and often fasforward it because of that hissing middle part. in stereo headphones it was like a snake going around you but later i was realized drain you is the best.
@@ControlPointDonelson more likely he probably just got tired of playing it. Contrary to popular belief Kurt loved the idea of being mainstream and popular but would say he hated it in interviews either cause it made the band seem cooler or cause its sort of taboo to desire fame when you're apart of the underground scene. He only begun hating it cause he never anticipated how big they'd get and how it would affect their lives
Best SLTS Live Performance Ever on my opinion, Kurt wasn't tired of the song yet and this was one of nirvana's first big shows and he played it with such a passion, ferocity, and anger. Like an angry teenager.
@@FerchoDelgaRams nada que hacer, nací en el 2002 :( soy músico y toco en una banda, evidentemente Nirvana es una de mis mas grandes influencias para componer
I got sober in 2017 at 23. Now 30 and 7 years sober. All this to say... I’d listen to this song on the way to chair my Aa recovery meetings if I was to share. I never took this song to heart as a kid and when I was going through it. This song helped me so much during my first year of recovery
Because we all will be able to remember and still feel the chaos in it, it's like meeting up with an old friend after a few years. Nirvana will be forever for we all have experienced and still live with the Teen Spirit
“Our little tribe has always been, and always will, until the end” I hope Mr. Cobain knows his music has no end. Voted the number 1 rock song of a decade and countless other achievements. Your music is fucking immortal Nirvana.
something I noticed in this show after reviewing it several times, is that when the music is "calm" the screen turns blue, referring to something "cold" and when the music gets "dirty" mainly in the chorus it turns red, something " Hot" and that goes really well with "polly" which is always blue, as it never gets hot, and "Endless Nameless" which is very "violent" so it alternates a lot between blue and red.
The transition is best during School when Kurt screams "you're in high-school again!" and the background drastically changes mixed with the timing of the band and Kurt's scream fading away. Fucking majestic!
Seeing Nirvana for the first time doing this song, it was one of those "what the hell was that", kind of moments. Living in Vancouver, Canada, about 2 hours from Seattle, you could feel and see the swell of hype and attention this ban was garnished with and how it grew so quickly. That "Grunge", became a new word in the modern vocabulary and of course the name or term to be forever associated with the the band Nirvana. For Nirvana was and still is a movement that helped give the youth a voice to be understood by. "No Apologizes".
What I find amazing about nirvana is that three people can make that massive crazy sound.... like two guitars make that sound.... and Dave on drums is just legendary
I think that wiith how crazy of a guitar player Kurt was, it fell heavily on Krist's playing to hold their songs up and together. And Dave of course. Not that Kurt couldn't be one hell of a rhythm player, but I think you know what I mean.
So this is what attending a Nirvana concert was like.. since none of us alive will even be able to do such a thing ever again, I'd like to thank them for sharing this. Interesting vibe.
This is one of the (probably THE) best live performance of this song. And to answer a few other comments on here, they were not sick of this song yet as they came to be. I want to say this concert is like MAYBE 2 months after SLTS hit the airwaves and maybe 1 month after the album actually dropped.
@@benjamintaylor6622 For sure. I'm a fan of both and have seen Rush six times. I'm a Rush nerd for sure lol. I'm not saying Nirvana was better, just saying they absolutely smashed into the musical consciousness of a generation and made some incredible music in a relatively short period of time. If they hadn't lost Kurt, who knows where they might've gone.
Rush might have been better at their instruments, but Nirvana is 10x better than them. Nirvana has so much more depth and emotion, plus Geddy Lee is amazing but his voice is just awful. Never could get into it.
@@loganvana I've met many music heads that like similar music that I do and they always either LOVE Rush or HATE them! It's so weird. Geddy doesn't have the best voice but for me, damned if the sum of Rush's parts are far greater than their individual contributions!! I like Kurt's voice better but there's so many songs from Rush I absolutely love.. Nirvana was putting out the best stuff of a generation but it got cut short tragically. What might have been. Nirvana had more atmospheric songs but Rush has a few. Check out Witch Hunt from Moving Pictures.
Всего лишь две гитары, ударные и вокал, а столько мяса в музыке, столько энергии...истинный рок. Всем поклонникам Нирвана привет из Сибири! Just two guitars, drums and vocals, and so much meat in the music, so much energy...true rock. Hello to all Nirvana fans.I'm from Siberia!
The lyric change from “our little tribe” to “our little group” throws me off every time! Tho i love this performance- Kurt genuinely looks happy to play the song.
Wow as a trio this band had as powerful a sound like Rush. Kurt on gui and voc with the excellent rhythm section of Dave and Krist. Once in a lifetime band.
Очередные семейные посиделки, я - 48 лет, моя жена - 48 лет, её дети: сын - 24года и дочь 28 лет, девушка сына жены - 24 года. Зашёл разговор про то, кому какая музыка нравится. Дочка жены говорит: обожаю Нирвану! так хочу её пластинку, на которой ребёнок под водой за долларом якобы плывёт, но это такая редкость, не найдёшь у нас. Я: почему не найдёшь? сейчас принесу. Ухожу в свои закрома и приношу ей эту пластинку. Столько счастья в глазах и эмоциях я пожалуй не видел ни разу у неё... Очень приятно кому-то приносить такие ощущения радости и счастья! .............. Пластинка была куплена в лохматые 90-е, ещё в "советском" магазине "Мелодия", к счастью не запилена до смерти (хотя тоже считаю Nevermind одним из лучших альбомов столетия). Нирвана навсегда!!!
My favourite version of this song. I absolutely love the agression and passion in this
That’s because they took it seriously here lol. Usually they take any opportunity to mess around with this song cuz Kurt hated it, but this was earlier on so they weren’t sick of it yet
so this is what they call "passion agression" 🤣

Why are so many books out now basically saying no grunge scene even existed in Seattle? Apparently there were no venues, and bands basically just played for each other. I don't see how that's possible, considering 4 bands came out of the same city within a year of each other..
I love the evolution of this song and how there are different versions. The original starting with "Come out and play" and how this one you also see how instead of "our little group" is "our little tribe". It really fun seeing all Kurt's different ideas in a song.
Wow. This sounded REALLY good. Take me back to 91 please!
I wish i was born in 1975
@One O One shut up, I wanna make music in a time where people appreciate my skill. Pff I don't care about deseaces . And I thought AIDS came up in the 80's?
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the gateway drug that got everyone hooked on Nirvana. I remember hearing this for the first time in 1991 on KROQ here in Southern California. The song landed so well they played it two times in a row. I immediately ran out and bought "Nevermind"....then "Bleach" the next day. I've been hooked ever since.
Charles Nuno When rock was still good. It’s dead now, but Kurt put his notch on the genre before it all burned out.
i know nirvana from a copy tape and for a long time as a kid i thought my fav is smell like teen spirit.
now i know it was drain you.
Zs85 H I always liked “Come As You Are” and “In Bloom.”! I REALLY love “In Bloom,” love that drum fill in the chorus.
@@almichael74 actually i was really liked territorial pissings and was terrified for a long time of drain you and often fasforward it because of that hissing middle part. in stereo headphones it was like a snake going around you but later i was realized drain you is the best.
@@almichael74 Dude rock isn't dead, haven't you heard *JOHNNY DARK SPEAK* before ? That shit is *ROCK SALAD FLAME* man #TruthCement
Miss you kurt:(

There are few things as iconic as Kurt's voice in the history of Rock
Wellll, then there's Layne Staley and his harmonies with Jerry...WOW
Killer performance, recording, and audio quality. This concert is a godsend.
The best live version of Smells Like Teen Spirit by far. This entire concert is Nirvana at their peak imo.
Its because they purposely played it worse than everything else because Kurt hated being mainstream
@@ControlPointDonelson yea I’ve heard that. More reason I appreciate this version, bc it’s the purest live video of this song in existence.
@@ControlPointDonelson more likely he probably just got tired of playing it. Contrary to popular belief Kurt loved the idea of being mainstream and popular but would say he hated it in interviews either cause it made the band seem cooler or cause its sort of taboo to desire fame when you're apart of the underground scene. He only begun hating it cause he never anticipated how big they'd get and how it would affect their lives
I respectfully beg to differ, the 04/17/1991 O.K. Hotel version (listed as the first time the song was played live) is even better
I love Krist Noveselic back then, he loved Kurt and loved being in Nirvana, you can tell he had so much fun
For a band that single handedly brought grunge rock to mainstream.. Respect.
alternative rock in general
Yea Nirvana is always so interesting bc they quite literally changed the landscape of popular music overnight with this album. That’s a rare thing.
nah, they had LOTS of help.
If I could go back in time I would be at a Nirvana concert. 🎸😎🤟⭐
I was there in the thick of it. The Off Ramp was The Place to Be!!
@@areemann5499 You were in that concert? Really? 🤔 No understand
If I could go back in time, I would have gone to a concert just an hour's drive away from me in December 1993.
One of the only times Kurt didn't deliberately fuck up the solo
One of the few times
because its in seattle
When he did at reading I thought that was amazing. When they go off the top like that it is so cool seeing what they come up with
But I love his improvised solos, a lot of them are really good.
The original solo feels bland without a rhythm guitar.
This live performance just gives me chills.
Like, this is very familiar, and that I've been here before, but this was 16 years before I was even born.
hello
Best SLTS Live Performance Ever on my opinion, Kurt wasn't tired of the song yet and this was one of nirvana's first big shows and he played it with such a passion, ferocity, and anger. Like an angry teenager.
The best live version
Yes
Yes!
Yeah
Facts👍
Movie lost days
All about Kurt
todos los días me lamento no haber podido estar en un concierto de Nirvana, mi más grande influencia para hacer música
Todos pensamos igual grandes bandas son leyendas
same

Y mas a ese concierto, el legendario Paramount 91

soy músico y toco en una banda, evidentemente Nirvana es una de mis mas grandes influencias para componer
Essa musica atravessa gerações, realmente a melhor das ultimas decadas
3:15 That Krist move is so iconic
sorry my mistake, is in the 3:16 basically he does this move with the bass on all the concerts practically
I got sober in 2017 at 23. Now 30 and 7 years sober. All this to say... I’d listen to this song on the way to chair my Aa recovery meetings if I was to share.
I never took this song to heart as a kid and when I was going through it. This song helped me so much during my first year of recovery
Just wow. About the best live performance I have ever seen, taking into account the fact that this song changed music.
Same wish I was there to see for myself.
Why are people talking about Dave having his shirt off when krist doesn’t have shoes
Exactly!!
no one is talking about dave taking his shirt off but you
Why would anyone be talking about someone having their shirt off? I haven't seen one comment so please point it out or stf7
What about Kurt not wearing gloves? Not. One. Word.
Its normal to have no shirt lol
Probably one of the Best Rock Songs Ever Recorded in history
Easily! Top 10 for sure
Agreed...
How can something be so representative of a time, but still be so timeless?
Because we all will be able to remember and still feel the chaos in it, it's like meeting up with an old friend after a few years. Nirvana will be forever for we all have experienced and still live with the Teen Spirit
@@dirtysouth359 amen to that

“Our little tribe has always been, and always will, until the end”
I hope Mr. Cobain knows his music has no end.
Voted the number 1 rock song of a decade and countless other achievements.
Your music is fucking immortal Nirvana.
something I noticed in this show after reviewing it several times, is that when the music is "calm" the screen turns blue, referring to something "cold" and when the music gets "dirty" mainly in the chorus it turns red, something " Hot" and that goes really well with "polly" which is always blue, as it never gets hot, and "Endless Nameless" which is very "violent" so it alternates a lot between blue and red.
The transition is best during School when Kurt screams "you're in high-school again!" and the background drastically changes mixed with the timing of the band and Kurt's scream fading away. Fucking majestic!
@@--thatbih yes, this is good too
Seeing Nirvana for the first time doing this song, it was one of those "what the hell was that", kind of moments. Living in Vancouver, Canada, about 2 hours from Seattle, you could feel and see the swell of hype and attention this ban was garnished with and how it grew so quickly. That "Grunge", became a new word in the modern vocabulary and of course the name or term to be forever associated with the the band Nirvana. For Nirvana was and still is a movement that helped give the youth a voice to be understood by. "No Apologizes".
What I find amazing about nirvana is that three people can make that massive crazy sound.... like two guitars make that sound.... and Dave on drums is just legendary
Issa bass gitaur u machotistic swine
you can thank the DS2 Boss pedal
Zachary Novak oh really I thought it was a fucking trombone you spanner
@@zacnovak2170 it's still a guitar you fuckin lobotomite
You should check "Royal Blood"
The bass really drives this song.
So do the drums. And the guitar. And the vocals. And the effect boxes.
@@victor-charlesscafati BEAST MODE
I think that wiith how crazy of a guitar player Kurt was, it fell heavily on Krist's playing to hold their songs up and together. And Dave of course. Not that Kurt couldn't be one hell of a rhythm player, but I think you know what I mean.
@@victor-charlesscafati and the dancer
Hi I recommend you Live MTV Studios
This is amazing. Krist's bass is crisp AF
Clearly paid the sound guy to up his decibels by a few.
So this is what attending a Nirvana concert was like.. since none of us alive will even be able to do such a thing ever again, I'd like to thank them for sharing this. Interesting vibe.
ur pfp kinda looks like the Yeezus CD
@thecolorsbrothers ha!
There is always a song to remind us that our heart has never aged and always returns to that place where other hearts are waiting for it.
Nirvana has no bad songs whatsoever there is a reason this is the most popular because it kicks major ass!🤘
also cause it redefined pop punk

Great performance. Aggressive honesty! Love the way the band goes lower & then explodes. Great Dynamics.
Back when they still had fun playing it, you can tell.
I dunno. Seems like they were playing it as fast as possible.
@@luvmenow33 I've noticed they do that with Negative Creep sometimes, they just get excited. I don't know, it happens

This is one of the (probably THE) best live performance of this song. And to answer a few other comments on here, they were not sick of this song yet as they came to be. I want to say this concert is like MAYBE 2 months after SLTS hit the airwaves and maybe 1 month after the album actually dropped.
Critics talking about Rush: So much sound from a trio, it's really amazing..... Nirvana: Hold our beer......
Rush was much louder and had way more sound,, coming from a nirvana fan
@@benjamintaylor6622 For sure. I'm a fan of both and have seen Rush six times. I'm a Rush nerd for sure lol. I'm not saying Nirvana was better, just saying they absolutely smashed into the musical consciousness of a generation and made some incredible music in a relatively short period of time. If they hadn't lost Kurt, who knows where they might've gone.
@@jeff0247598 very true
Rush might have been better at their instruments, but Nirvana is 10x better than them. Nirvana has so much more depth and emotion, plus Geddy Lee is amazing but his voice is just awful. Never could get into it.
@@loganvana I've met many music heads that like similar music that I do and they always either LOVE Rush or HATE them! It's so weird. Geddy doesn't have the best voice but for me, damned if the sum of Rush's parts are far greater than their individual contributions!! I like Kurt's voice better but there's so many songs from Rush I absolutely love.. Nirvana was putting out the best stuff of a generation but it got cut short tragically. What might have been.
Nirvana had more atmospheric songs but Rush has a few. Check out Witch Hunt from Moving Pictures.
how many voice cracks do you want?
kurt: yes.
nirvana wouldnt be nirvana without intentional voice cracks
Kinda adds to it I like it
Maybe you should express yourself more respectful
it's technically yodelling
It’s practically apart of Kurt’s singing style, which kinda adds at the authenticity and down to earth vibe he had
Всего лишь две гитары, ударные и вокал, а столько мяса в музыке, столько энергии...истинный рок. Всем поклонникам Нирвана привет из Сибири!

The lyric change from “our little tribe” to “our little group” throws me off every time! Tho i love this performance- Kurt genuinely looks happy to play the song.
que sorpresa por la chuchaaaaa!!!!!
Melhor banda de todos os tempos!!!!!!

Love so much Nirvana´s performances.

Krist : Bass

Wow as a trio this band had as powerful a sound like Rush. Kurt on gui and voc with the excellent rhythm section of Dave and Krist. Once in a lifetime band.
Bring back real rock!!! This made me sad and happy all at once lol! Man how I miss the 90’s
Seeing this, makes me wish I was alive for this band. Such an amazing song!
Очередные семейные посиделки, я - 48 лет, моя жена - 48 лет, её дети: сын - 24года и дочь 28 лет, девушка сына жены - 24 года. Зашёл разговор про то, кому какая музыка нравится. Дочка жены говорит: обожаю Нирвану! так хочу её пластинку, на которой ребёнок под водой за долларом якобы плывёт, но это такая редкость, не найдёшь у нас. Я: почему не найдёшь? сейчас принесу. Ухожу в свои закрома и приношу ей эту пластинку. Столько счастья в глазах и эмоциях я пожалуй не видел ни разу у неё... Очень приятно кому-то приносить такие ощущения радости и счастья! .............. Пластинка была куплена в лохматые 90-е, ещё в "советском" магазине "Мелодия", к счастью не запилена до смерти (хотя тоже считаю Nevermind одним из лучших альбомов столетия). Нирвана навсегда!!!
Such a great song and such a great version. Too bad it got so much negative attention in the end..
Just when I thought my day couldn't get better 🎸
That feedback thru the speakers at 3:15 tho, gives me absolute chills. He was so effortlessly good at that and idk how, I love it!!!
I really want to make that sound too when im playing it. Did you have an idea on how to make that sounds man?
Yeah I wanna know too
