@AG77420 buzz kill. You state the obvious that doesn't need to be said. We all get it. Sorry for trying to be positive. Remind me to invite you to the next party to suck the life out of it.
Small clubs like this makes Nirvana seem at home, they do capture the audience's energy and bounce it back. One of the best Nirvana sets I've ever listened. If i would be able to travel back in time, i wouldn't go see them at Reading 1992 or Paramount 1991, but to a small club like this. I bet you this was one of the best nights ever for many of the people in there.
I agree, they fought for a record deal by playing these venues but Kurt while interviewed on numerous occasions said he'd love to go back and play in small clubs and sometimes they did just for the helluv it. Whether their handlers liked it or not! ✌❤
Concordo. Eles sempre preferiram tocar em lugares pequenos ... Eu os vi , em um festival grande , aqui no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, em 1993... foi no festival Hollywood Rock, e mesmo com o palco grande e aberto , foi INESQUECÍVEL! Foi aquele show que kurt mostra o pênis pra maior rede de tv do Brasil, e era ao vivo... ele cuspiu na câmera e mostrou o pênis... porque NÃO gostou que o patrocínio maior deste festival era de uma marca de cigarros conhecida mundialmente... Rio de Janeiro-🇧🇷
Have to give Kurt credit for that thick massive tone. Never thought he cared too much about sound but looking back he nailed this full sound. This is gold.
I’m five minutes in and he’s still dialing in the Heads - he just now got to his pedals! Lol ❤ Mr. Grohl - One of the greatest drummers who’s ever picked up sticks but also as a songwriter & frontman….TOTALLY not fair! ;)
@@-cobainism- the music got better later on. Kurt was singing better. The songs were better. Grohl is a far superior drummer and was the perfect drummer for Kurt’s songs. The lyrics improved. It may be more interesting to you for personal reasons but it’s not better music.
Aaron, How famous was nirvana in this 1990 era? Were they nationally known? I’m genuinely curious because I wasn’t born for another 15 years after this show
@@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec I personally thought that Chad Channing was better on the drums than Dave. It's not that I thought he was More skilled than Dave, he just sounds better. That's just my opinion though, anyone else is free to think different.

Then add Kurt's incredible sounding voice...seemingly like he could riot at any second...this is amazing. Also, for anyone who ever thought Nirvana wasn't a very rehearsed, tight band...this video proves how fantastic they were live. Wow. You can feel this band as loud as you can hear them

Just discovered this video today and literally only a few hours later I locally found and bought an Original Epiphone ET-270 like Kurt is playing in the vid! Such an awesome playing and sounding guitar!!!
Such a terrible guitar for him to play upside down because of the shape, but it was much better quality over all those univoxes, and he must of liked it as it had quite a long life as far as nirvana gear goes
Kurt was one of the most underrated guitarists EVER and that's from someone who had played for 30 yrs.He was def into tinkering with different pedals,amps,he pretty much stayed with the Fender Jag/Stangs but he really cared what his sound was for the audience
@@justinlambert4937 not at all.. but when Kurt starts at one speed then he kicks in about 40 bpm faster. It can be hard to get into.. or when he goes for a fill, messes it up halfway then just give up on it or finishes with single strokes to the end of the measure. He's extremely sloppy and easily the worst drummer nirvana ever had. Not saying he sucks. He just didn't do nirvana any favors. Energy was great and the show was fun to watch overall. But to say Chad was on his game was a big stretch... go back and watch the big fills in pretty much every song.. and his intro speed compared to Kurt...
@@careycasey2523 I hear you, Chad was always a long way from tight - but in this performance it was the first time I’d actually thought he was in the zone, I do totally agree that he was unfortunately never the complete fit - but that said, he certainly shaped a large part of the Nirvana catalogue. 👍🤘
💯 PERCENT WITH YOU UNBELIEVABLE JUSTIN LAMBERT 1 YEAR AGO AND ANOTHER 20 YEARS 😂😂😂❤❤❤FUCKING AWESOME FOR THE BEAUTIFUL COMMENT THANKS FOR REALLY ENJOYING KURT'S MUSIC AND CHAD FINALLY EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS DAVE BUT HE WAS THE 5TH DRUMMER WHO GOT ALL THE MONEY THANK GOD KRIST NOVELSIC WHO STARTED GRUNGE TOGETHER OMG SO UNREAL AND THE EXCITMENT OF EVERYBODY GOING CRAZY REALLY WILD LOVED YOUR COMMENT EXCELLENT AND AWESOME AND AMAZING 👏 BRAVO 👏 JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS LORETTA WOW
This one is one of my favorite live performance. Kurt's vocal is almost perfect in hitting notes, pitch and high pitch termination. Thank you guys who made, kept, remastered and upload this miracle to all of us, fans.
He really botched the Breed intro. You can hear him miss the toms and hit his sticks together. Although, I think Chad is a more interesting drummer than Dave, but Dave kept it tight.
@@bankruptfilly Yeah my post wasn't meant to imply Chad > Dave I was just saying compared to previous gigs I heard Chad at, this is one of his best. Dave is a much tighter drummer though, not even a question, but Chad was great too. I admit I kinda like a little sloppiness behind the kit, adds a little something raw that I like
I can't thank you enough for this. It's this kind of footage that is Kurt's true legacy. Forget any circumstance surrounding his tragic passing and remember his passionate life as pure bad ass.
I've been listening to this in the background while doing other computer stuff. I'm really enjoying what I am hearing. The Nirvana group where always top notch players. I love how they work the rooms acoustics.
Fucking hell! Kurt's voice on negative creep is absolutely amazing, mind blowing. That's the best vocal performance of that song I've ever heard him do. Feel so blessed to see this footage after being a fan from the UK for 26 years (10 yr old). Thanks
Man Kurdt's voice was at it's peak here. Full control and volume. What a loss. I remember reading somewhere how one of Kurdt's biggest issues with Chad was that he kept speeding up during songs. This is one of those sets where I can really hear and see it happening, must have been frustrating as hell.
@@jerrydouglas4583 not AS many lately, but when this video was uploaded there was a solid live recording hitting the net every few weeks. Alot of upgraded versions and some first ever releases too.
Born in 88, I still remember being a boy and listening to my dad sing along to the Nevermind album while driving through Belgium. Respectfully love to play anything nirvana on the guitar to this day.
Foremost in my mind is : It's hard to believe that a time like this ever even existed whatsoever. Very near the end of an era where musical artists, not only (could) , but very often (did) determine the content and the fate of their art - aka songs/music. This performance made me feel like I was floating in another dimension entirely, from the one we are all in now. I had a strange feeling of eurphoria: I cried. I yelled FUCK YEAH ! SEVERAL times. And I dearly missed all the people I love, who are, dead and gone, (bless them all) since the 30 PLUS YEARS gone by, since this 1990 performance took place. My understanding then and now was this : that proper musicians (regardless of what "genre" they have been pigeon-holed into) Labor and toil endlessly to write the songs, so badly needed by us all. Inspired by the raw emotion coming from their hearts, stomach, head, and fists. They Must either write, or perish. For those who are mystified as to why I write about this in such an emotional and sentimental way. I write this : 1) because, (prior to ROCK and ROLL's DEATH, which I place in the year 1997 : The way bands did things represented TRUE FREEDOM and IT [WAS] TRUE FREEDOM. and get this: The music that so many bands of the rock and roll era wrote and performed SET PEOPLE FREE ! 2) I write these things the way I do, because I feel that rock and roll was deliberately extinguished by wealthy elitists, because they only want their 1% selves to be free, and the 99% rest of us to be in cages they've created for us, both metaphorically and literally. Do not let them cage us ! LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL !
Totally true, something changed around 1997 in the top floors of music industry. Companies started avoiding all forms of "fragile" and "loose" artists opting for more manageable people (with very few exceptions). Basically all underground scenes returned to niches and slowly faded during the next decade
Thank you Jim for posting. It's so enjoyable when it's late and you find something like this. Amazing. The band..Chad wherever you are- you were DA bomb. Chops, chops & chops all over the place. What a great testament for the band. So wonderful when you hear a great band just crushing it.

Excellent live set from an excellent live band. They struck the perfect balance of nailing the tone they wanted, great musicianship, awesome song writing, and wild abandon raw energy. Awesome!
I bet Nirvana never guessed that in a little over one year's time from this show 'Smell Like Teen Spirt' would be number one all over the world, and in two years, they would be playing stadiums.
David Flaim yea dude. His lyrics, interviews, and journals should be enough of an explanation. I mean its clear as day why he decided to kill himself, yet people still believe he was murdered 🤦🏻♂️
I'm 44 too !! 1995 graduate from vevay indiana. Yes we were all lucky. I remember hearing Teen spirit and thought wow this is too heavy for mainstream radio. The world was changing. A year later Metallica The black album.
Die hard Nirvana fans will probably disagree but what amazes me is at the start of the gig there's just this crazy frenetic guy on stage letting out all this uncontrollable noise like an unstable ball of energy then out of nowhere at 13:33 he casually drops a tune that is right up there with any of the earlier Beatles material - had Lennon/ McCartney penned it would have certainly been released as a single. A simple but beautifully crafted near perfect melody on a par with any of the great contemporary songs in any genre. Cobain's 'mainstream pop' songwriting ability that saturated Nevermind is on a level with Lennon/McCartney, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Kate Bush whoever you can think of as a crossover musical genius... That he successfully expressed this songwriting ability authentically through raw punk makes him a musical genius in my book but must have also made him terribly lonely. No one in his genre was anywhere near his level as a songwriter and it almost seems like he felt guilty for this massive talent. It's sad he didn't seem to enjoy the beauty he created but he is undeniably one of the very best to do it.
What gets overlooked(not always but sometimes) is how great of a singer he was. Of course he had no training or anything like that, but had a natural ear for tone, melody, pitch and delivery. Pair that with this wall of sound and it must have been pretty cool see live. He died when I was 15 so I never got the chance :(
Luckily I got to go see them when I was 15, had to beg my mom and at first she said no but changed her mind. I am glad she did because he died a few months later. It's weird how many things I have forgotten over my life but that show remains pretty vivid in my head almost 30 years later
I don’t really think that is overlooked at all. His voice was the defining element of the band. And they were the biggest band in the world for a brief period, more or less.
I'm probably like 4 years older than you. It was a competition back then, well not really a competition. But so many cool bands, influencing other. I mean look at Seattle. They were underground back then, cool local scene. But Pearl Jam had a monster singer, as well as AIC and Soundgarden. But there was a lot of cool music elsewhere. Metallica was metal, but cool. Slayer, etc.. awesome bands everywhere.
This version of Polly is incendiary. Wow! In many places you can hear the difference that Grohl made, but ol' Chad did a decent job here. Wonderful footage, thanks for making it happen.
What a great time to live in Sacto. The city had such a great vibe back then. I saw so many great shows at the Cattle Club. I drove by it a few years back, and I was kinda sad to see it boarded up.
@@suburbanindie yea idk I try to like him at times, but he’s just missing the overall rhythm that amazing drummers have it seems. He tries real hard for the rhythm that he his playing at least which I can respect
@@morbidmanmusic he was playing the music you're hearing in the vid. You weren't. End of story. Plus he had a massive North drum set with those shells that look like giant horns (not here, though). He's no Dale Crover, but he had a sound.
Ele era ruim mesmo isso não uma opinião é fato os vídeos provam isso ! A batida dele é seca, meio acelerada no desespero , sem peso parece até um iniciante
I was born a couple years too late and a couple thousand miles too far away. Thank you to all the lucky SOBs that did get to see this live and supported it so it would find me eventually. RIP Kurt, Chris, Layne, Mark, Andy, et. al
I saw them 2 days later totally on accident because they were playing at a tiny record store in San Francisco. It was so loud you really couldn't hear the drums!
Absolutely outstanding upload here. Thanks a ton for this. This is why I live CZcams. I would have killed to watch a video like this one in 1991, when I became fan of this band. As I live in France, grunge movement came after US, here we have 2 to 10 years late each time something happens.
Wow. Just....WOW. A real Nirvana club gig from 1990 in incredible quality video. Holy crap this thing exists! what i woulda given to have been there! You can smell the beer in the carpet from this video. And ive never seen Kurt go completely batshit crazy jumpin up and down like a madman like this before he was really tryin!

Sappy is a song from the bottom of the heart ❤️
Its so damn great!👍🏿
What an unbelievable show. Kurt’s voice was on point, audio mix was on point, absolutely stunning footage.
This is an absolute hidden treasure. Multi-cam footage that is very good quality and the audio is amazing for what it is. They all sound great!!!
Sounding really tight, Chad’s on his game too. Such a good gig
What are you talking about.. Chad was messing up almost every song..
Shame, you like perfection - just listen to the cds then.
@@justinlambert4937 not at all.. but when Kurt starts at one speed then he kicks in about 40 bpm faster. It can be hard to get into.. or when he goes for a fill, messes it up halfway then just give up on it or finishes with single strokes to the end of the measure. He's extremely sloppy and easily the worst drummer nirvana ever had.
Not saying he sucks. He just didn't do nirvana any favors. Energy was great and the show was fun to watch overall. But to say Chad was on his game was a big stretch... go back and watch the big fills in pretty much every song.. and his intro speed compared to Kurt...
@@careycasey2523 I hear you, Chad was always a long way from tight - but in this performance it was the first time I’d actually thought he was in the zone, I do totally agree that he was unfortunately never the complete fit - but that said, he certainly shaped a large part of the Nirvana catalogue. 👍🤘
💯 PERCENT WITH YOU UNBELIEVABLE JUSTIN LAMBERT 1 YEAR AGO AND ANOTHER 20 YEARS 😂😂😂❤❤❤FUCKING AWESOME FOR THE BEAUTIFUL COMMENT THANKS FOR REALLY ENJOYING KURT'S MUSIC AND CHAD FINALLY EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS DAVE BUT HE WAS THE 5TH DRUMMER WHO GOT ALL THE MONEY THANK GOD KRIST NOVELSIC WHO STARTED GRUNGE TOGETHER OMG SO UNREAL AND THE EXCITMENT OF EVERYBODY GOING CRAZY REALLY WILD LOVED YOUR COMMENT EXCELLENT AND AWESOME AND AMAZING 👏 BRAVO 👏 JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS LORETTA WOW
This one is one of my favorite live performance. Kurt's vocal is almost perfect in hitting notes, pitch and high pitch termination. Thank you guys who made, kept, remastered and upload this miracle to all of us, fans.
He's money on every single not vocally. Studio, mixed and bagged type performance. That fella was something else.
When Kurts strap came off, I felt that
I was going to say the same damn thing lmao
Nirvana +small club= Holy shit!
1 year later and they became one of the biggest bands on the planet
Is it just me or is Chad's drum performance here really, really, REALLY good?
Nirvana was better with him overall even if Dave is "technically" better IMO.
No, i think that he is not good technically in this performance, not exatly in time.
He is awful here.
He really botched the Breed intro. You can hear him miss the toms and hit his sticks together. Although, I think Chad is a more interesting drummer than Dave, but Dave kept it tight.
@@bankruptfilly Yeah my post wasn't meant to imply Chad > Dave I was just saying compared to previous gigs I heard Chad at, this is one of his best. Dave is a much tighter drummer though, not even a question, but Chad was great too. I admit I kinda like a little sloppiness behind the kit, adds a little something raw that I like
Remember when We had access to this glorious concert through Napster.
Napster was sick! even if the quality took a hit. First time I heard Punk in Drublic was a shitty Napster mp3
Kids these days will never know.
Kids these days will never know.
I remember having to buy a sound card so I could hear the stuff I downloaded from Napster on my win 98 pc. God I’m old
Damn you , Lars!
I can't thank you enough for this. It's this kind of footage that is Kurt's true legacy. Forget any circumstance surrounding his tragic passing and remember his passionate life as pure bad ass.
Best nirvana concert with originals musicians and fans, Thank you very much for this testimonial
Cattle Club was the place to be back then! Thank you, Jerry Perry!
I loved playing that place, the abuse from Jerry was the best!
A special club lost to time.
I've been listening to this in the background while doing other computer stuff. I'm really enjoying what I am hearing.
The Nirvana group where always top notch players. I love how they work the rooms acoustics.
I’d give anything to have been at this gig. Such a pure, beautiful, raw sound. Perfect.
I played this club in 1990. We followed a band that only wore underwear and rolled around on broken glass.
What was your band?
@@marcuseviltree6304 "Saigon Strip"
We were from Stockton.
Later called Bo Jangels. Played there as well… 🤘
@@216trixie gotcha.
I just love how energetic and happy Kurt looks
Wow! Kurt must've been about 23 years old here. So young to have his tone and sound so dialed in!
voice tone ' u mean?
Fucking hell!
Kurt's voice on negative creep is absolutely amazing, mind blowing.
That's the best vocal performance of that song I've ever heard him do.
Feel so blessed to see this footage after being a fan from the UK for 26 years (10 yr old).
Thanks
So awesome
Man Kurdt's voice was at it's peak here. Full control and volume. What a loss.
I remember reading somewhere how one of Kurdt's biggest issues with Chad was that he kept speeding up during songs. This is one of those sets where I can really hear and see it happening, must have been frustrating as hell.
This is good stuff. I used to go to the $7 punk shows at the Paris Theater in downtown Portland. Really enjoy these raw songs.
This is so cool, man! Thanks a lot for this vid. Totally awesome.
This is the best live Nirvana show on CZcams. The audio is so good, you can even hear the individual crowd heckles.
I hope more quality live gigs pop up like this....so many top notch nirvana videos coming out lately its great.
It's as if their still going
Which other top notch videos have been popping up?
@@jerrydouglas4583 not AS many lately, but when this video was uploaded there was a solid live recording hitting the net every few weeks. Alot of upgraded versions and some first ever releases too.
14:42 This solo-ish part is soooo freaking amazing! Legends!
Starts with Dead Kennedys... Ends with Social D... this was PUNK night at the Cattle Club!
Wow, this is insanely good. Sound is excellent. A gem of a recording just before Nirvana goes massive. "School" is a standout.
A year and a half before they go huge. Sappy here is a nice addition
"School" слишком похож на типичную рок песню для рекламы мужского парфюма.
Born in 88, I still remember being a boy and listening to my dad sing along to the Nevermind album while driving through Belgium. Respectfully love to play anything nirvana on the guitar to this day.
You remember being 3 and hearing music ?
@@barrymoore7445 never said what age I was when that memory took place, I just said I was born in 88. It was 95 btw. ;)
Love to see Kurt sing and play The guitar he could play The guitar like no one else ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🧍♂️
Foremost in my mind is : It's hard to believe that a time like this ever even existed whatsoever. Very near the end of an era where musical artists, not only (could) , but very often (did) determine the content and the fate of their art - aka songs/music. This performance made me feel like I was floating in another dimension entirely, from the one we are all in now. I had a strange feeling of eurphoria: I cried. I yelled FUCK YEAH ! SEVERAL times. And I dearly missed all the people I love, who are, dead and gone, (bless them all) since the 30 PLUS YEARS gone by, since this 1990 performance took place. My understanding then and now was this : that proper musicians (regardless of what "genre" they have been pigeon-holed into) Labor and toil endlessly to write the songs, so badly needed by us all. Inspired by the raw emotion coming from their hearts, stomach, head, and fists. They Must either write, or perish. For those who are mystified as to why I write about this in such an emotional and sentimental way. I write this : 1) because, (prior to ROCK and ROLL's DEATH, which I place in the year 1997 : The way bands did things represented TRUE FREEDOM and IT [WAS] TRUE FREEDOM. and get this: The music that so many bands of the rock and roll era wrote and performed SET PEOPLE FREE ! 2) I write these things the way I do, because I feel that rock and roll was deliberately extinguished by wealthy elitists, because they only want their 1% selves to be free, and the 99% rest of us to be in cages they've created for us, both metaphorically and literally. Do not let them cage us ! LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL !
Last true rock band star, besides allllll the dead ones… who…… I say white stripes…… then it was dead…….RIP Kurt , you were a god
Totally true, something changed around 1997 in the top floors of music industry. Companies started avoiding all forms of "fragile" and "loose" artists opting for more manageable people (with very few exceptions). Basically all underground scenes returned to niches and slowly faded during the next decade
Right On Brother
lil Wayne carried the spirit of rock more than most, he was a big Nirvana fan and it evolved into sizzurp sipping mumble rap lol
Awesome comment!
Absolutely LOVE this! Thank you for uploading this EPIC show! 🤘🤘
Sappy is a great song and Kurt has a beautiful voice🫶🏻
I wasn’t a Nirvana fan, but it’s so cool seeing a band right on the verge of stardom.
Little before the verge
Especially them. Very few bands reached that level of success, ESPECIALLY that quickly.
@@karalyncarlton6151 how long you think ? 8 months ish ?
@@frisbeeshawn5356 about a year and a half
Yeah....you look more like a boy band fan.
What a wall of sound combing from three dudes. Good trios always trip me out when the pull that off like here.
Thank you Jim for posting. It's so enjoyable when it's late and you find something like this. Amazing. The band..Chad wherever you are- you were DA bomb. Chops, chops & chops all over the place. What a great testament for the band. So wonderful when you hear a great band just crushing it.
MR.JOHN DUGAN 💯 PERCENT AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT ESPECIALLY ABOUT CHAD HE NEVER GOT ANY CREDIT UNBELIEVABLE HE WAS AMAZING 👏 BRAVO 👏 THANKS JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS LORETTA WOW PEACE 👏 ✌️ OUT OH VASOLINES CAN'T KISS MOLLY'S LIPS LOVE KURT COBAIN OMG GRUNGE GRUNGE AND ALTERNATIVE ROCK FOREVER AND EVER THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT THANKS JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS LORETTA WOW 👌 👏 BRAVO 👏 😂😂😂❤❤❤I'M REALLY HAPPY I AGREE 👍 YOUR COMMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THANKS LORETTA
I have fond memories of that club. Back when Far was still together.
Far is such an underrated band. IMO they defined the sacto sound. Love me some deftones too though. Cattle Club RIP
To think when this concert filmed Nirvana was soon ganna be a big-time band !
These Cam videos of the best things I've ever seen of Nirvana
Wow, this is as fresh as it was 30+ years ago.
I remember seeing them on saturday night live for first time. Changed rock forever, thank God!!!
Excellent live set from an excellent live band. They struck the perfect balance of nailing the tone they wanted, great musicianship, awesome song writing, and wild abandon raw energy. Awesome!
Not sure how I've missed this....but it is one of the best live vids of all time. 👍
This version of School is probably my favorite I've heard, they sounded so on point.
better than the reading festival?!!!!
Kurt sounds so fucking good!
I bet Nirvana never guessed that in a little over one year's time from this show 'Smell Like Teen Spirt' would be number one all over the world, and in two years, they would be playing stadiums.
And in 4 he would die
@@davidflaim6393 killed
@@pichula2555 definitely murdered
Sorry dudes but Kurt killed himself. Its just facts.
David Flaim yea dude. His lyrics, interviews, and journals should be enough of an explanation. I mean its clear as day why he decided to kill himself, yet people still believe he was murdered 🤦🏻♂️
Yes Dead Kennedy's.
Brilliant footage!!
F jello, guys a govt bootlicker. Dave Grohl too.
@@TheUnholyPosole I heard that.
@@TheUnholyPosole You are?
I'm 44 too !! 1995 graduate from vevay indiana. Yes we were all lucky. I remember hearing Teen spirit and thought wow this is too heavy for mainstream radio. The world was changing. A year later Metallica The black album.
@@TheUnholyPosole screw any band that plays vaccine only shows! Pathetic government shills!
Die hard Nirvana fans will probably disagree but what amazes me is at the start of the gig there's just this crazy frenetic guy on stage letting out all this uncontrollable noise like an unstable ball of energy then out of nowhere at 13:33 he casually drops a tune that is right up there with any of the earlier Beatles material - had Lennon/ McCartney penned it would have certainly been released as a single. A simple but beautifully crafted near perfect melody on a par with any of the great contemporary songs in any genre.
Cobain's 'mainstream pop' songwriting ability that saturated Nevermind is on a level with Lennon/McCartney, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Kate Bush whoever you can think of as a crossover musical genius... That he successfully expressed this songwriting ability authentically through raw punk makes him a musical genius in my book but must have also made him terribly lonely.
No one in his genre was anywhere near his level as a songwriter and it almost seems like he felt guilty for this massive talent. It's sad he didn't seem to enjoy the beauty he created but he is undeniably one of the very best to do it.
What gets overlooked(not always but sometimes) is how great of a singer he was. Of course he had no training or anything like that, but had a natural ear for tone, melody, pitch and delivery. Pair that with this wall of sound and it must have been pretty cool see live. He died when I was 15 so I never got the chance :(
Luckily I got to go see them when I was 15, had to beg my mom and at first she said no but changed her mind. I am glad she did because he died a few months later. It's weird how many things I have forgotten over my life but that show remains pretty vivid in my head almost 30 years later
I don’t really think that is overlooked at all. His voice was the defining element of the band. And they were the biggest band in the world for a brief period, more or less.
I'm probably like 4 years older than you. It was a competition back then, well not really a competition. But so many cool bands, influencing other. I mean look at Seattle. They were underground back then, cool local scene. But Pearl Jam had a monster singer, as well as AIC and Soundgarden. But there was a lot of cool music elsewhere. Metallica was metal, but cool. Slayer, etc.. awesome bands everywhere.
You had chances but you blew them. Unless you live in middle east or somewhere. Kurt died when i was 3.

This version of Polly is incendiary. Wow! In many places you can hear the difference that Grohl made, but ol' Chad did a decent job here. Wonderful footage, thanks for making it happen.
FYI - The Nevermind recording of Polly is actually Chad on drums...
@@SwedishSonna I was thinking the same thing lol. They're not wrong though I love Chad's drumming on the studio version
@@SwedishSonna really?
@@SvenTSchixe yep. Wasn’t credited on the original release of Nevermind, but has been more recently. It’s definitely him on the recording.
@@SwedishSonna No shit, thanks man, appreciate it!
✌🍻
The vocals are stellar on this entire set.
As usual
Agreed. I’d say Kurt’s vocals were in their prime during 89/90
Just incredible
@@jtballnuts EVERYTHING was prime, pre-Courtney.
Floyd the Barber and Dive here are DEBILITATING. fucking sounds superb
What a great time to live in Sacto.
The city had such a great vibe back then.
I saw so many great shows at the Cattle Club.
I drove by it a few years back, and I was kinda sad to see it boarded up.
Chad Channing is the most underrated Nirvana drummer.
He's only underrated if you think he's good. He's not.
@@suburbanindie yea idk I try to like him at times, but he’s just missing the overall rhythm that amazing drummers have it seems. He tries real hard for the rhythm that he his playing at least which I can respect
dime a dozen. No life. fills are inconsistent. Passion B+
@@morbidmanmusic he was playing the music you're hearing in the vid. You weren't. End of story. Plus he had a massive North drum set with those shells that look like giant horns (not here, though). He's no Dale Crover, but he had a sound.
Ele era ruim mesmo isso não uma opinião é fato os vídeos provam isso ! A batida dele é seca, meio acelerada no desespero , sem peso parece até um iniciante
One thing about Kurt and Nirvana, they always delivered 110% live. Great band with either drummer, so tight and right.
This is pure music gold! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you from Denmark! 30 years... damn it, time's passing by to fast!
I hope these guys keep at it .. they got a great sound !
I was born a couple years too late and a couple thousand miles too far away. Thank you to all the lucky SOBs that did get to see this live and supported it so it would find me eventually. RIP Kurt, Chris, Layne, Mark, Andy, et. al
THANK YOU FOR POSTING! 🐄🛸
Edit: Where's Dave?
"Dave's not here man..."
I saw them 2 days later totally on accident because they were playing at a tiny record store in San Francisco. It was so loud you really couldn't hear the drums!
Oh my gawd so lucky! We are inspired by them
Totally dig the Polly “version”.. just awesome.
Yeah, a similar rendition is on Spotify in incesticide called “new wave Polly” 👍
You probably already know that though
Nah Polly is an acoustic song now
Big congratulations to whoever recorded the audio of this.
What an awesome live performance!
Oh my goddd, his vocals on About A Girl are AMAZING!! So close to the album version.
Its facinating how Chris remains calm during a start of Love Buzz...
Wish we had a bassist like that !!
Великолепное выступление, Курт в отличной форме)

Freakin' amazing!!! Thank you for the upload! I love this, Nirvana playing before big fame and big stages for the sake of doing what they love!!!!
Absolutely outstanding upload here. Thanks a ton for this. This is why I live CZcams. I would have killed to watch a video like this one in 1991, when I became fan of this band. As I live in France, grunge movement came after US, here we have 2 to 10 years late each time something happens.
Thanks for these treasure Man!!!!!!!
Chad's kicking out the drums
Wow! Brings back memories! Thanks Jerry!
Wow. Just....WOW. A real Nirvana club gig from 1990 in incredible quality video. Holy crap this thing exists! what i woulda given to have been there! You can smell the beer in the carpet from this video. And ive never seen Kurt go completely batshit crazy jumpin up and down like a madman like this before he was really tryin!
Yeah the audio is pretty fucking good for a video from 1990. Great song selection from 1990 as well. Thanks for putting this up.
Great recording of these guys at the peak of their powers. I was lucky enough to see them a couple of months later at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ.
Cool
