    My favorite part of this show among many, his epic Breed leap, and the statue beheading. Is when Kurt pauses Pennyroyal Tea at "I'm on..." And someone in the crowd yells "You're on CRACK!" I always wondered why Kurt laughed! 😂

    I was at this show. The Breeders opened up the night, then Cypress Hill came out. I was 15 years old I got an invite to go from the Nirvana fan club. Here I am 30 years later 45 years old and still a massive fan. RIP Kurt

    I'm so glad you paid attention to the fact the DOD Grunge pedal was used throughout the show. I first noticed it in a brief scene in the Endless Nameless MV. If you go to 9:09 at 1.25 playback speed, you can catch a glimpse of Kurt's hand moving away from that pedal. This means he used it for the Live and loud show. Also please to a part of the video on Endless Nameless. In my opinion it's one of Nirvana's hidden gems. I can't wait to see this awesome video! Thank you for your awesome content!

  • @stab180

    At first, I thought The Paramount was my favourite live performance from Nirvana. Then I actually decided to watch all of Live And Loud and wow, it just blew me away. The guitar tone is amazing, there are so many great moments (R.I.P. In Utero angel) and the vibe itself is just epic. I can't describe it, but it really speaks to me. This video itself is actually amazing and I love watching your stuff, especially videos like this!!! Keep it up, man.

    @Ukraineaissance2014 Před 6 měsíci +1

    the strats wernt purely for destroying, they were generally pretuned in drop d for the encore songs in that tuning to make the changeover more simple (easy for most guitarists to go to drop d quickly but with those fender bridges it obviously effects the tuning of all 6 strings if you change just one) and ive seen footage of them used when one of the Mustang's strings snapped or was really out of tune around late 92 and 93 tours. I've also read about it and from looking myself i think they were often put together strat copy bodies and necks. You can still get very cheap strat necks that arnt made by or labelled as fender but have the exact same shape. They had a technician on tours who main job was putting back together/renting the guitars and bits of drums (rarely basses because those insanely heavy gibson things Krist used are indestructible)

    • @NirvanaGuitars
      @NirvanaGuitars  Před 6 měsíci

  • @PaleGreenHouse
    @PaleGreenHouse Před 7 měsíci +1

    Hey Eric, I know we spoke on the previous use of the DOD during this concert. I've come to the realisation that the DOD was probably used during Breed. You can hear it when Kurt is saying "I don't care, I don't care" whilst he's playing really high up the neck. Now, in saying that, I've also had the thought that the DOD was used on Scentless Apprentice. I don't know what it is but Kurt's tone during that song always sounded nasally to me and I'm starting to think that the DOD was used more than we think for that concert and the time he used it in general. Now, I'm not Kurt so I'm not entirely sure but I feel like Kurt may have been experimenting with his tone around this time. As we know, well at least I think we know, Kurt would often put on a front. Often saying things were a joke when they weren't. For example, In Utero. Kurt had claimed multiple times that In Utero was very impersonal but I think it's safe to say that it was far from it. I feel like he may have done the same with gear? Maybe? I don't know. I feel like Kurt genuinely wanted to give the DOD a try whilst using the "it's a joke" thing as a front before he abruptly discarded the pedal into the crowd. I'm probably off my rocker but just some food for thought maybe?

    Hey Eric could you do the Off The Ramp set from 1990? I just got exposed to that and it’s killer!
