      The soundboard audio on 2/22/1994 show that the guitars didn't sound that thin

      yess. I will use for you, the analogy used by Cobain himself,,...this is the Puget Sound. Everything who define the sources and the natural qualities of the puget sound is found in Nirvana,...and the voice of Cobain is surfing on the top of this raw and richy loud sound of the currents created by all their tool. A mix of bass wave assembled with the central and mechanical precision of their drummer and then this is capped and projected with their natural boy wired with an imperative speaking, capable of being tainted with irony and obviously with radical exposures. @@euroyen420p2

    Geezuz Christ, these guys had so much raw, real power & it was just like "meh" to them which is what makes Nirvana oh so magical.
    I know in my lifetime there will never be another band to touch these guys.

    This Rehearsal is better then the live show even because you can hear the song without the live crowd noise interference. This is great! And the guitars are huge and Dave’s drumming is killer! He’s so powerful and precise at the same time! This is one of the songs that displays his drumming well! And it shows that he is 50 percent responsible for their success because of his incredible playing! He just hammers it home every song!
    He actually had an issue with his playing when they had to play the Unplugged show in NYC. He was so used to hitting the drums so hard that the lighter touch required for Acoustic numbers was difficult. He did adjust in time after he bought some brushes that Jazz drummers use. And he developed a lighter touch and played brilliantly!
    Dave was clearly half of Nirvanas success and even did great backup vocals.

    Those are the same shoes he was wearing when he was murdered a couple months after this.

    Nirvana's main contribution to rock and roll history was wearing long underwear with bermuda shorts. Well, I guess it's cold up in the middle of nowhere where they lived.😂

      That's actually his sonic blue Mustang, but he did play a powder blue JagStang toward the end. A lot of people will say he never got one, that they came out after he died. They are wrong, he got at least one before their official release.
