Из России с любовью! 01/09/92 - NBC Studios (Saturday Night Live rehearsal), New York, NY 00:00 Intro 00:18 Smells Like Teen Spirit 07:02 Jam 08:40 Territorial Pissings
Well, I`ll bring you some reality: you didn`t know him, he was a miserable sob and the good ol` days wasn`t that great. I`m 54 and 22 in 92. I remember the doom and gloom era from 91 to 94. We were glorifying depression. The irony generation (X) came out of that. And then came the 2000s and music became sh!t because the Millennials were snowflakes LOL
@@HaraldSletterod Then Mr Overrated made his best and most selfish move . Blew his head off . Not a legend at all he was a broken man . He is a tragic tale .
Kurt looks at the black Stratocaster he just strapped on thinks, “I’m so gonna smash the hell out of you tonight. They think you’re my second song guitar, but you’re my smashy guitar.”
This is the first time I've understood how controlled Kurt's vocal technique was. I always believed he was straining/shouting and giving it everything. He makes it look like that in so many performances. But here, before the "proper" cameras roll, you can see the same signature sound, but it's effortless e.g 2:42. His whole apathetic anti-musician shtick was genius, because beneath it was a real depth of skill.
man i was just thinking THE SAME THING!!!!!!! nice to see kurt doing that effortlessly, he’s hitting those notes more smoothly than normal, i guess maybe the type of drive he did was bad, but anyway
It was 30 years ago this month that we lost Kurt. A beautiful tribute to have this released in April 2024. Thank you from a huge Kurt and Nirvana fan in Seattle.❤
Reminds me of Cristina Aguilera or Whitney Houston’ or Mariah the Carey! Such Tonality, range, power, control. A true vocal genius and velvet voice of the decade. Allegedly
Wanna take the feeling out of a musician playing the song live??, have him play it 10,000 times... Can't you just see the excitement dripping from his face!! 🫠😬
Thanks for allowing the rest of us to see this! Kindof ridiculous how the gatekeepers of livenirvana kept this hidden, only viewable to those in their exclusive little elite sub group and not properly distributed to the regular ln members.
During the most successful times of these fellas lives was my worst years growing up. I lost my dad in a car crash in 91 and 92 we moved to a new school district where I was bullied and picked on constantly, it was my knowledge of drawing that saved me then. Though I do not miss these years growing up, I do miss the music scene. Especially when these guys took off cause they helped bring in a whole new genre of music.
I think it wasn't so much the new genre, but just Kurt's charisma that made everything explosive and fresh. We wanted to identify with this scream. While Kurt had a tendency to mix genres, it's a shame that early 1992 was the beginning of his end. Because maybe it would really be something new.
@@sadhu7191 that's something u shouldn't have to put up with at all!! Especially at a work environment. Did u report these people bullying u to your boss yet?
hope you are in better place now? Don't know many people who haven't experienced bullying... but losing our dad at what I assume was a young age... tough
Thanks for that very interesting, as a Nirvana fan first time around as I've gotten older and gained a wider perspective, a lot of the mystic and hyperbole about Nirvana has faded and my knowledge continues to evolve in part with the help of these uploads to gain a greater(an hopefully accurate) understanding
Thanks for sharing this, man!! That jam sounds awesome (not so sure it's an alternative version of Curmudgeon). Love to see them rehearse. Now I want the uncut version of it! :D
I never thought to look for this until just now, when it has been on the internet for just 18 hours; thanks, brain. And thanks Nirvana, for rocking so much and so well. 4:40 Adam Sandler?
This video feels so weird but in a good way it feels this was recorded in 2010-2012 the quality of the camera the person recording this seems like it’s from 12 years ago but no it was 32 years ago just crazy thank you for sharing this
You should search for the footage from the Mia Zapata benefit 8/6/1993 surfaced maybe last year or the year before. It feels like a cell phone video, it's crazy! Guy apparently had like a really nice 1993 camcorder and was filming right up front at a very small show. It's nuts.
@@benjamink7105just checked it out yep you’re right! It looks great, I’m starting to think that time travel exists with the quality of some of these recordings of live nirvana shows hopefully we get the show where Kurt was dressed as Barney the dinosaur!
Just thankful that we had this even if for just a few years!!! They changed the music scene forever and we'll never see another group like this in our time! I was 20 when this was recorded. All the younger fans who weren't here yet missed out big time 😢
@@phyntaman oh, it's just a meme like "screaming crying throwing up" :D the description says "from Russia with love" so I wanted to show that we got the message. And yeah, we're not really fine, but we never are. It's a bad time to be a punk in this goddamn prison.
“Stand by for territorial pissings”. Easiest standby I’ve ever standbied.
TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO BE A NIRVANA FAN, THANK YOU
no clue how theyre finding this but im glad
I am in heaven.
Every day is a great day to be a Nirvana fan. 🤩😍
Stop you little 18,year old
@@modtang exactly.
something about the environment here, the controlled setting, no screaming fans, the band seeming super comfortable and relaxed. like a home movie
i feel like they performed better with small audiences
no one smiled cirt looked bummed,a slave to his own kind
@@latteretteit's a rehearsal.... Also there's no real reason to have a big grin on your face whilst playing... That's Kim's deal (har har)
@@latterette he was hardcore smacked out at this point. If I'm not mistaken, he actually OD'd around the day this was filmed.
@@concretejunglewetdreamtomato I had to look that up. You were right. Damn
I was at the rehearsal for this SNL gig. Kurt was very quiet but still approached the audience as we cheered when they were finished.
Man, to go back to 1992 . I miss Kurt, and those days so much
Well, I`ll bring you some reality: you didn`t know him, he was a miserable sob and the good ol` days wasn`t that great. I`m 54 and 22 in 92. I remember the doom and gloom era from 91 to 94. We were glorifying depression. The irony generation (X) came out of that. And then came the 2000s and music became sh!t because the Millennials were snowflakes LOL
@@HaraldSletterod Yeah, I feel your pain. I will be 65 this summer, so I am right there with you
@@HaraldSletterod🙄
Man I was 20. Good times.
@@HaraldSletterod Then Mr Overrated made his best and most selfish move . Blew his head off . Not a legend at all he was a broken man . He is a tragic tale .
Kurt looks at the black Stratocaster he just strapped on thinks, “I’m so gonna smash the hell out of you tonight. They think you’re my second song guitar, but you’re my smashy guitar.”
lol read this in that wild baby-voice people use to talk to their dogs
so cool that Krist hits the distortion during the solo to sort of fill in for the rhythm guitar. hes an underrated bassist with great lines
that band changed my life as a 90s child...no regrets
And changed my life as a 90's adult. ❤
I love that this gets posted to CZcams. In the late 90s, we traded VHS tapes of concerts and TV performances and this was one I had.
Are you sure the tape was the rehearsal and not the tv performance ?
Yup. Had it too
@@newflavaz1583I had it as well. Not in this good of quality though
This is the first time I've understood how controlled Kurt's vocal technique was.

Controlled?
Shtick?
@@phyntaman Yep
@@phyntaman Yep
blown out camera audio on this almost sounds better than the mix going out to tv...
I love that at 5:19 Dave Grohl starts playing the groove from Devo's cover of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Then 5:32 him and Krist start playing Wild Thing by Tone Loc
@@sthenx0r or the original: Van Halen's Jamie's Cryin'🤘
I didnt even know DEVO covered that wow!
@@chumon1992 yeah it's better than the original imo
At 5:33, they are playing Tone Loc's "Wild Thing!"
It was 30 years ago this month that we lost Kurt. A beautiful tribute to have this released in April 2024. Thank you from a huge Kurt and Nirvana fan in Seattle.❤
And thanks from Trieste (Italy)
That bass tone with the distorsion in the SLTS guitar solo. FUCK. Makes me want to grab my bass again.
Was that an envelope filter too or just crappy 90s recording
Do it!!! Then find me. We'll jam together lol
Sound like Bassball pedal by Electro harmonix
It is probably a proco rat
@@draven9494 i believe that krist used a pro co rat
That voice, that voice😢
Yea its awful. I've heard it live and its even worse.
@@michaelsuder486ok pal
@michaelsuder486 Sounds like he was either tired, or not warmed up yet, but hey, it could have been worse
Reminds me of Cristina Aguilera or Whitney Houston’ or Mariah the Carey! Such Tonality, range, power, control. A true vocal genius and velvet voice of the decade. Allegedly
WOW. I know the footage of their final show is supposedly gone but every time I see something new surface like this it gives me hope. What a band
Why would you wanna see Kurt like that anyway he was sick
@@Thatguy55595 to be fair he was sick for a huge portion of their shows including this SNL one
I’ve never seen this rehearsal, the 93 snl was the only one I’ve seen for years.. good on you for posting legendary moments
Kurt was a gem of a human being.
Wow! This was also the day Weird Al contacted Cobain for permission to parody Teen Spirit. An historic day in rock history.
That jam was just taking off!
Still glad I was born in 1972.
I was a “strapping lad of 19”when I witnessed this.. and it was live and it never was live again after ✌️🤯
I was there, thx. never thought I'd see this. we were guests of the sound man, they rehearsed twice ( this is the second), then the dress rehearsal
Dress?
@@phyntaman pre dress
So cool. Wish my time machine had enough fuel to make it there and back.
fuck that THE claim to fame mate, bet you've dined out on that story a few times... i would LOL... respect
@@lakelandstu2804 saw them at Maxwell's in '89 as well, if your my age it's no big cheese
Oh, Kurdt… Long ago and oh so far away😢❤🍀
Wanna take the feeling out of a musician playing the song live??, have him play it 10,000 times... Can't you just see the excitement dripping from his face!! 🫠😬
Holy shit. Been waiting decades to see this footage. Thank you.
I’d never seen this clip before, only seen the Nirvana Snl 1993 rehearsal, thank you❤
Where's the 1993 footage? I'd love to see it!
No matter weather you like or hate Nirvana, think Kurt is a sloppy player, or their music is shit... they were at the right place at the right time.
It's more than being in the right place at the right time. Nirvana WAS...THE RIGHT BAND, in the Right place, in the Right time.
It’s ok it just your opinion 👍👍👍👍👍
I remember this night @ 10yrs old......vividly
I was so excited to watch this. It felt like a dream just knowing youre about to see new footage of kurt Cobain and nirvana youve never seen before
I don’t know how you’ve gotten ahold of this but thank you
This is gold ma men. The great nirvana.
HOW DO YOU KEEP FINDING STUFF THATS AWESOME
😆
@@ateyourmother mine! All mine! My precious! ❤️
@@Stumpstump ♥️♥️♥️
This cameraman is so cool. Zooming in on Kurt’s shoes, the SNL logo.
Feels like I’m there
I was 18 when they played that night on SNL. Great time to be around!!!
Same!
RareNirvana is saving us today
This isn't rare ,it's been all over the internet since 92 ,lots of people have seen it many many times
@@donkeyballs3307 AKTUALLY!!
@@donkeyballs3307not the rehearsal/soundcheck tho.
He didn’t actually surface it he just uploaded it here and took credit
@@garyx5x then who uploaded the original video?
Thanks for allowing the rest of us to see this! Kindof ridiculous how the gatekeepers of livenirvana kept this hidden, only viewable to those in their exclusive little elite sub group and not properly distributed to the regular ln members.
F**king hell... How awesome would it have been to be one of those 5 or 6 people sitting in the studio watching this?
Kurt played smells like teen spirit so fkn cool like it’s nothing. Doesn’t even move , unbelievable
I have a feeling that this channel is Nirvana’s secret 2nd channel
Definitely Adam Sandler in the background being a fan boy for sure around 4 minutes or something.
I still miss having that man around. What a talent.
Incredible thank you for posting
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Omg. This is the best thing ever!!!!!! Thank you 💝💫

@@piotrg.1855 oh yea, his charisma was pretty high, he definitely had 100+ points along with fortified skill set with that charisma..
Heck im 29 and still get bullied but now it's at work
@@sadhu7191 that's something u shouldn't have to put up with at all!! Especially at a work environment. Did u report these people bullying u to your boss yet?
hope you are in better place now?
Don't know many people who haven't experienced bullying... but losing our dad at what I assume was a young age... tough
Sick footage thank you for filming
This is fantastic! I've seen the in utero song rehearsals, and now to see nevermind rehearsals is so great. Thanks!!
Thank you for this!
It's super rare for me..
Just discovered in my feedline.. Thank you so much for this!!!
As a fan of both SNL and Nirvana, a gracious thank you for sharing this video.

Rare...? Absolutely❤❤❤
OMG!!! I loved ! Thanks a lot for put that video!!

My brother has this on tape I remember He stole it from an NBC office In 2000 And had played a lot.

This music more than passes rhe test of time. 🤘🏽
Wowowow thank you!
One of the holy grails - awesome
Great upload, never seen this before!
I can't get enough of this material
Whoa… I damn near threw my iPad across the room by the end of Teen Spirit! So much energy in a mere 5:10
This performance at rehearsal and postpartum was incredible, both the timbre of the instruments and Kurt's voice, fantastic!
Amazing footage
This was so cool, espcially that freestyle jam sesh
I thought why I hadn’t seen this video before,2day video on CZcams ❤Nirvana since childhood
Thanks for sharing this, man!! That jam sounds awesome (not so sure it's an alternative version of Curmudgeon). Love to see them rehearse. Now I want the uncut version of it! :D
How cool thank you!

Yes! Exactly what I saw and said "That's Adam Sandler checking out Nirvana! That's cool as shit!"
I remember seeing Nirvana on SNL when it aired, RIP my Soul Brother 🌹🌹👩🏼🎤💜🖤❤️
Thank you so much time traveler for recording this stuff!
Amazing, Sao Paulo , Brazil
I am giddy at these leaks
So happy
Best part of my evening tonight.
I watched this on SNL that night.
They played something else.😆
Brilliant.
Don't think i have ever watched this.

Thank you algorithm for this gem!
Boy, that would've been a great day to be a cast member.
Kurt looks so grungy with his ripped jeans while Krist looks so preppy with his tucked in button-down.
Incredible ❤
Thankssss
Sometimes everything just feels right. Not often just once in awhile. Great to witness. Thanx.
OMG man this is awesome
I always wondered what they did after these live shows lol this is cool!
So cool!

Kurt seems and sings much calmer during Smells Like Teen Spirit
He holds it in and controls his voice really well actually.
@@chops4986 yeah that's what I was implying I wasn't making a dig
I’ve wanted to see this for 20 years
It's been out for 30.
It’s amazing ❤
