    This one gives me chills every time, without fail. I get a sense that this was his goodbye to his fans. He put so much heart into it, then, at the end, that pause, and his eyes open, and it's like, a sigh of relief almost. Not to mention the stage is covered with flowers and candles, almost like a funeral. 4 and a half months later, Kurt left this world. Simply chilling.

      I remember clearly thinking (before this song) that they missed a gorgeous opportunity to end powerfully with All Apologies. Then Kurt said they were about to do another song written by someone else….I thought they already did the perfect closer……
      …..little did I know what was about to take place. I’ll always remember how wrong I was.

      I hear ya. I was sitting at our local Fred Meyer (Kroger, but in Oregon it's Fred Meyer). As my parents and I walk in, this had just started playing on the TV's in the electronics section. I stopped and watched for a few minutes. My dad noticed and said go ahead and watch we'll come get you later. About half way, dad walks up and as I got up he said: sit. Here's some chips and soda. Finish it. He knew how much I loved Nirvana and he made the rest of the family wait in the car for 2 hours just so I could listen. Thanks dad. Miss ya.

    You should hear what the producer of this album had to say about this. While he was putting the finishing touches on this song for the album to be made from this concert. He got the call that Kurt was dead. It rocked him really hard hearing this song with all the pain in Kurt's voice. It made it the hardest song he had to produce.

I literally just walked into a stranger's dorm room and was like "TELL ME WHO THIS IS." It tapped into a simmering pressure and frustration and anger I never knew was even there.

Roscoe wrote the song on the banjo then LedBelly made it the cover/version and added lyrics to it make it Where did you sleep. Lots of these old folk songs are very dark and depressing and are heavily influenced by murder ballads of the mountains

    I feel so incredibly fortunate to have grown up in the era when Nirvana and all of the other grunge bands exploded onto the scene. I was 13 when I first heard Teen Spirit in 1991, and it was a life altering musical experience for me. I'll be 45 this August, and they are still my favorite band of all time. If you would like to react to other live performances, I highly recommend Drain You live from the the Paramount and the first time Teen Spirit was played on Saturday Night Live. As a bonus, I would recommend looking up the short acoustic clips that Kurt's daughter, Frances Bean, has uploaded. It's haunting how much she resembles him in both appearance and musical aptitude. It's a bit haunting.

      I always loved the fact that Nirvana was given a spotlight and they chose to use it to shine light on lesser known bands they enjoyed (Meat Puppets, e.g.) and musicians they loved and/or were inspired by (Bowie, Leadbelly, etc). It really shows the lack of ego those guys had.

    Kurt had a very unique voice, full of grit and he's got that natural yodel to his voice. His voice was the kind of voice you could only really get from smoking a bunch of cigarettes a day and being full of anguish. Kind of like Brian from AC/DC. When he opens his eyes after the scream you can see so much pain in his eyes and that moment there made history and became known as the moment we could see into his soul.

    I was 14 years old in 1994 when he passed away. My older brother would take me to shows and stuff and I remember he was going to see Nirvana and asked me if I wanted to go and I said nah, I don't feel like it right now, I'll catch them next time. I still remember where I was standing in my house when we had the conversation. If only I knew I wouldn't have another chance. 💜

    One of my favorite live performances by them! The haunting look in his eyes when he pauses at the end is about as real and raw as it gets!
    Now, if you liked this (which you obviously did), then please, for the love of God, do the legendary live performance of LOVE HATE LOVE by Alice in Chains. It's Layne Staley in his prime: raw, emotional and the epitome of grunge. His vocal range in that is insane.

    I remember when Nirvana Unplugged aired on MTV. A group of friends and I all gathered to watch it. Two things I remember: 1) We became aware that they weren't playing the hits about halfway through the show (most bands would perform acoustic versions of their hits and then a couple covers on Unplugged.) and 2) When it was over, we were aware, in the moment, that what we had just seen was historic (We didn't say that, we were college kids. We probably said something along the lines of "Holy shit, dude. What the fuck?"). It's the most amazing thing I have ever seen on TV. Great reaction

    After spilling out that Howl, that last gasp of air he takes before the end, opening his eyes wide to prepare for his final, solemn scream.... it STILL brings me to tears the same way it did back then.

  • @Nanashi_MYOB
    @Nanashi_MYOB Před 3 měsíci

    I was maybe 13 or so, I watched this as MTV aired it with my older sister. I remember both of us sitting gobsmacked at the end, I finally said to her. "If you wanna see them, do so next time they are in town." I didn't think I'd be so correct or dislike my gut being so spot on. This song to this day is a staple on my playlists. Every time it plays, I still get goosebumps and add to it now the level of introspection that follows.

    That look in his eyes on the last chorus, it's like he had a moment of utter clarity then was lost again. These unplugged shows were something else, don't think i've seen a bad one, but the Nirvana and AiC ones are the best, very very closely followed by Pearl Jam's. There's some brilliant moments in some of the others as well!
    You should def check out some more Nirvana like "Sliver", "Come As You Are", "Lithium", "Drain You", "Heart Shaped Box"...
    You should also check out Alice In Chains "Love, Hate, Love" (Live at The Moore) to see just how powerful Layne's voice truly was live back before he got too deep - also check out a group he sang for, formed in rehab with some other grunge artists called Mad Season - esp "River Of Deceit" and "Wake Up".

    They had such a massive impact on the music industry. They broke through with their alternative rock sound, redefined the genre, and inspired countless bands. Their success challenged industry norms and gave a voice to a disillusioned generation. Their influence continues to shape music today. My favorite band of all time personally. Kurt for me.. is the GOAT. RIP Legend

He was a hell of a dude....in that sigh u can see his lost-ness....amazing.

    I had heard in a documentary that he had just went through a heroin detox and was really in his feelings when he sang this song.

    I was a teenager in high school when Nevermind was released. I remember the day a friend brought the cassette to school. After class he told a bunch of us we needed to hear it. We all gathered near the school's portable tape recorder, he pressed play, and life has never been the same. Even through that tinny speaker, when the first bars of Smells Like Teen Spirit washed over us we were completely bowled over, and it was like a shroud was lifted to expose a new world. There was before Nirvana, and After Nirvana. I devoured every Nirvana album and song after that. I also remember the moment a friend came into my college dorm room and told me Kurt was found dead by suicide. A gut punch I've yet to recover fully from. Love you Kurt.

    You can't fool me with those horny (pun intended) earphones, I know a true music fan when I see one. This was one of the most genuine and emotional reactions to this song on the entire CZcams. We all have our own tastes, but some songs and performances are undisputed pieces of art respectively of your favourite genres, and this is one of them. Thank you and keep sharing your emotions with the world, because from what I can tell as a singer, songwriter, musician, and producer myself, they are actually real. And that inspires not only those hearing these songs for the first time but also those like me, who see that the music they had grown up to is not forgotten and is as powerful as it was when it was released.

    Thr song dates back to the 1800s but was first recorded in 1926 by a banjo player named Dock Walsh. Bill Monroe recorded it in 1941, and Lead Belly in 1944. Nirvana covered this on their 1993 Unplugged In New York album.

    It "smacked you in the face" because it was authentic. Kurt was suffering from a lot of pain and anguish.... And just like he said, this was his last performance. You sounded like a wounded animal before it died which is why it's so gut-wrenching... This last performance was him saying goodbye to the world and to his fans before he committed suicide. R.I.P.
    I watched this when it aired live on MTV. I knew what he was doing, what he was expressing, and what he was saying, he told the world what he was going to do through music. No one realized..they just thought it was an exceptional cover
    It's heartbreaking.. this was his very last song.
    Knowing this, go back and listen to it. It'll hit you even harder and different.

    Not many people know this but, this song is actually a cover of a mid 19th century ballad. It was first recorded on vinyl in 1940 by Leadbelly (or 1941, I don't remember exactly). The 40's version is very different from the Nirvana cover but I suggest you listen to it!! Great reaction as alway!!
