Nirvana played this gig with 200 people in the audience. Exactly 24 years later, the surviving members reunited for a 200 invited guests show. This is really odd and cool.
Thank God for VHS and portable video cameras back in the late 80's - 90's. It's amazing how much footage of this band has surfaced over the years allowing us to enjoy and see the progression they went through. Inspiring, tragic, and amazing.
Thank God for AI in this situation. It’s about the only thing it’s good for, but we would never see these shows in any kind of clarity if not for the AI enhancement. That’s why it wasn’t on the Internet 10 years ago. But yeah, thank God for VHS or it would have no source material. The interesting thing is that the AI weights for those split seconds were the people being filmed, were still enough to be clear, then fills in all of the dots where it’s blurry because it knows what the stuff looks like from the clear parts,. So, we’re not seeing this stuff as it necessarily really happened, it’s all artificial predictions of what was happening in the fuzzy parts based on the clear images. This would be pretty much unwatchable for all but the hardest fans and historians without the AI enhancement.
Nirvana is just too pure. Whether with Chad or dave on drums. Kurt's vision and passion for music and live performances just topples any band I've seen. They didnt want to look cool. They didnt want to be macho rock stars. They didnt want to play perfect music and have this perfect image. Kurt knew exactly what he was doing and was just a force of raw nature. Very few bands can match the rawness and purity of Nirvana.
@9:53 - Greatest ever fan boy ever. You know you have struck gold when a Nirvana fan digs it so much that he parked himself in the front row to sing along and yet he has a haircut that says - Rachel and Ross should get back together. He is riding the tasty waves of the stars and I salute him for his efforts.
but it was only 1990, they weren't famous yet, they hadn't even finished the smart demo that brought all the intention that led to the Geffen deal ,they were still totally underground. I would say that chap was a true believer
Kurt Asa Yea right, it seems so doable, I know where I was at this moment in time. Just go back and fix a few things. In my scenario the best part is explaining that I'm from the future, then somehow proving it, freaking Kurt out .
@@_A_D_ they dont care about small clubs dude they care about having fun at the night and destroy their instrument just like at the end of blew u can see krist novoselic jump on chad channing drum set
I like how, when they're about to start Blew, you could hear some guys shout "SWAP MEET!" Nirvana was still small compared to one year later, but they sure had some dedicated fans, which was cool
I can’t imagine how many concerts I’ve been to that had NO FOOTAGE AT ALL. Everyone in the crowd was just rocking out too hard to have phones in the air, so it really felt like a slice of the 90’s for a Gen Z kid. Pro-Shots are a gift from the past, but bootlegs are just as special if not more.
Thanks to The guys who filmed this concert that raw sound and Kurts voice and passion and rage iam so happy that its been filmed that raw sound doesnt exist today and that voice is outstanding and so raw yet soft and beautiful just like Kurt miss you Kurt love you you are The one and only for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🧍♂️🙏
I have never commented on a you tube video as I have seen the trolls come out whom seem to feast on other people's joy or the green eyed monsters that spit their poison with equal equanimity in righteous indignation at others that have commented. So be kind in my simple indulgence, I am just reminiscing. I had the incredible fortune to not only be at this performance, but spent a short period of time with Kurt chatting before the show. Tad played the opening act and was interesting but so were most of the Sub Pop acts. Truthfully, I thought he paled in comparison to Nirvana. The whole set Nirvana played was excellent but the best song of the evening in my opinion was Negative Creep; It was deafening and amazing at the same time seeming to shake the very foundation of the building. The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor did not hold very many people back then so there wasn't many of us there and it was crowded even for the Blind Pig. Most of the cool kids in the audience knew each other, shopped at the same thrift shops (Value Village and St Vincent DePaul among others), went to a ton of shows and hung out at Drake's (where I went) or the Fleetwood. I am the blond haired boy with the short haircut right near Kurt. I was living in Depot Town; it feels like a lifetime ago.
This show and Tijuana are some of my faves from the Bleach shows. Kurt was electric and all in with his music. I remember way back in 2008 when I discovered all these Nirvana shows on UA-cam and was shocked at the sheer enthusiasm Kurt had for the music.
I swear I've been intuitionally guessing they're whole set list. I literally started tearing up because I got like 4 in a row and the shows still going🍃
Not to say that I'm a historical artist, definitely not! We opened for another very popular band around Ann Arbor around the same time as this show. A band called Harms Way and the LSGH clan let us open for them here and it's was awesome!
wow i wish he is fine wherever he is and that the truth comes out .....the world miss u kurt.......so strong and fragile at the same time so much to learn that miss the eye about him a mirror for humanity
This video is amazing. I wish I could’ve seen the show. Closest I can get is I played on the stage where he is standing 10 years later. There is a plaque on the wall with the bootleg CD of the show there.
This is the one and o my show my dad got to see of nirvana because it was in our home town, after the show my dad brought a big ass joint to Kurt and smoked with him
The LP bootleg of this show sounds pretty horrible, so this is a good remastering job. I have very few memories of being at this show except that according to my flyer, Victim's Family and Tad opened. Thanks for posting!
Pretty sure I saw this show. Went to go see Flaming Lips. Nirvana warmed up first then Steel Pole Bathtub. Never heard of either band, but etched a fine memory.
Are we sure flaming lips/nirvana was 1989, cuz I was at that show and it was my night off from beer wench in the basement eight ball saloon. In 1989 I was 20. I think I had to be drinking age to work there. 1990 seems right to me.
That was a long time ago... I think I was one of the out-of-focus figures that show up in the wings, in the background where Chris (Krist) is playing. Wish footage of the Oct. 3, 1989 show at the Blind Pig still existed. Was at that one as well.

Breed at 19:50 is fun, esp Grohl. Been A Son at 41:15 also one of songs I've liked. Negative Creep certainly gets rockin too. Thanks for the vid, well done.

Same here! 👍👍👍

I have it on white vinyl, I found it at a record store in '98. the audio in this video is WAY better.
I just stumbled upon a green 45.LP today. Only three songs on it. Show date April 4-90 at this place.
Kurt said many times that this was his favorite venu in the world to play.
My grandpa used to own Blind Pig Bar. He then went on to be a founder of blind pig records... Jerry Del Giudice
Grew up in Ann Arbor. Live in Seattle. In quarantine because of COVID... I *needed this* right now.
THIS is real Nirvana! Fucking ''Nevermind'' changed the rock, but changed Nirvana too...
God damn this is so good that even the bouncers are grooving to it!
Such an honer to live here in ann arbor!
boner
It's crazy to think my nephew is gonna be playing on this same stage next month R.I.P Kurt.
This is by far the best version of Chad Channing I've seen. Other shows made me wonder why they stuck with him, but here, he's really good!

34 years ago today, one my favourite gigs.
I was there too with Tad and Victims Family. Ann Arbor was great during the Sub Pop / Am Rep days with Big Chief and Laughing Hyenas
CHAD
He sounded so good in this show, playing wise, and drum sound wise, his kit sounds great in this.
Agreed! Just listen to the Breed!!! Killer!
I was just in Ann Arbor earlier today. Didn't see the Blind Pig anywhere :/ It would have been cool to see this show back in the day.
+Tony Scott It's a block off of Main St. towards the outskirts of town ; /
N Brig Thanks good to know. I'l look out for it next time I visit my brother @ U of M.
ann arbor Michigan ?
Yep
Tony Scott i live near ann arbor ima see if i can go find the pub
A lot of my doctor’s appointments have been in Ann Arbor, and I remember having a really big surgery there.
Same University of Michigan Hospital is a good one.
