And the Reading Festival can be tuff on bands but Kurt owned that show. One of my favorites. Would be #1 if the sound was better quality. Top 3 for sure. The Paramount Show is #1.
No. The A chord is in heart-shaped box but teen spirit isn't dropped. Which is the song he plays after that timestamp so he couldn't have played it accurately and didn't even play anything but picking an A for tuning purposes which may have that in common but he and many bands pick A like that so...
It’s so sweet Bc you can see him looking at the singer as they’re singing together like intensely a couple times. Then he’s so in the moment he fuckin falls back. Amazing. Genuine happiness.
@@darrenlowman3317 I’m sure everyone claims to have been there. Like how thousands of people claim to have seen the Sex Pistols in 76, but it’s probably very few.
This is the one of the two times Nirvana played Reading that should have been professionally recorded. Much more energy from the band, Eugene from The Vaselins came on stage to sing along on a cover of their song, and they had a frigging interpret dancer named Tony. Oh, and that moment when Kurt jumpet into the drums is just epic!
Be careful with the things you dream about, or well, your brain may explode, in a figurative sense I mean, well I'm not that hypocrite, I meant it literally also. It was worse for him, 'cos he knew he didn't deserved to be set as idol. Strong people just take one step back, 45 degree turn and keeps going, but sadly not everyone has the many lighting moments required to awake to life.
I love this era of Nirvana. Nevermind is written, they're touring it, but it's only barely hitting the airwaves. They're still loving touring and playing it out live.
Dave Grohl is just a freaking monster drummer. He plays with feel but the beat is super militant and stacatto. So fun to listen to him, especially on the QOTSA record.

I was badly depressed freshman year in high school. I saw Smells Like Teen Spirit on MTV one weekend. It just hit me so well. Starting taking to someone about them on a Monday. That person is still my best friend to this day.
I was stood at the side of the stage watching this show...my friend who worked with their label was standing next to me ..when i heard Smells like Teen spirit I asked him where they expected it to chart ..he said a top 40 would be nice ..I laughed and so no its going to do much more..I put a bet on with him it would chart top 10...only bet I ever won lol

+ThatTallGuyEli They hated Smells like teen spirit around like '92 because thats all people ever talked about. "omg play smells like teen spirit" or interviews would be based around them becoming popular off one song which is true but it just brought alot of unwanted fame too. This was right around the time Smells like Teen spirit hit the airwaves in the US and they had no idea of the success that was going on. This is definitely one of their last purest moments as a low level band which is beautiful
From here to being the biggest band in the world in 3 months. Thats insane. I dont think any band in the history of pop music has done that. If that hadnt happened im fairly sure Kurt would still be here.

I was there, 17 years old. Changed my life. The best musical line up of any festival I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot! Saw them the year after also. Sadly I had become a music snob so couldn't be associated with the fame that Nirvana so rightly deserved. I watch this show and feel as close to 17 again I will ever be. If I was to talk to that 17 year old now and impart any wisdom that my later years could impart, I would get an incredulous look from myself and tell me to fuck off!

***** What you personally think of the song is immaterial. The fact remains that Smells Like Teen Spirit was a MONSTER hit that elevated Nirvana from just another Seattle grunge band into a global phenomenon. It did so because it was a great and incredibly catchy song. The fact that Nirvana also had many other great songs is irrelevant. SLTS is the one that made them.
+Noire For the same reason that I once in about '90 took Bleach to a party attended by straight people, who told me, and I quote: ``Get that shit off.'' I didn't. Then Nevermind came out - great LP - and everybody, including no doubt some of those same straight people, bought it.
I clearly remember Nirvana on the Friday afternoon at Reading. There was a big buzz around them. I'd never heard any of their songs but they had an instant charisma like the greats possess.
In my modest opinion, NO ONE has ever reached or surpassed this damn wrecking creative distorted universal sound, that level of immediate “face to face” expression, freestyle approach to dogmatic state of mind. Kurt’s “cryptic” lyrics reveal the soul making it “naked” & so it resonates unwaveringly indomitably strong like a spiritual riffle which leaves you without a breath and words. I’ve been listening to them for years and literally nothing has ever changed in my perception of this unique and very influential band. I can almost recognize their chords, rhythm sections and vocal parts in many alternative bands worldwide. From Seattle to Moldavia. ❤Awesome indeed. And I’m so happy about it. ✨💫
I was 15 at the time, skate boarding, experimenting with marijuana and mushrooms, picking up the chicks, Nirvana were larger than life at that time. That was pre 911 and pre social media, people everywhere were much friendlier with each other.
The band that rocked my childhood, today i'm 29 and i'm into a long shit list of genres and artists, yet Nirvana still rocks my world, cheers from Morocco to the uploader, that's a fine bootleg my friend
Kurt sending all his love to the crowd playing Love Buzz off the stage...I'm bursting into tears! He was,is and always will be THE BEST OF THE 90'S MUSIC! Period!
They played a festival in Germany the next day. It's a shorter set, but I feel a better set. Some shows they are more on than others. You can see it also on UA-cam.
His voice was still good back then. Because he was not stoned so much as he was in the late 1993. Also this version of Come as You Are is my favorite one! 15:09
I wonder if this crowd knew what they were really hearing! They were hearing the anthem to a new type of music that changed music FOREVER!!! THANK YOU NIRVANA
Did you hear how quiet they were during Smells like teen spirit? They hadnt heard it before, it was released the next month, nobody knew how huge it would become
Just graduated High School 1990. I always wished I had grown up in the 60s because all of my heros Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Iommi, Howe...all came out of that era...I had no idea that I was living through the last great movement in Rock, and in a small way, was a part of it. The 90s were so great on so many levels...it's all just shit now. Literally everything.
Have hope. The reason rock is dead is no one takes the time to listen to new rock. You always listen to the same shit you did 30 years ago. You might find new bands you like
For those that weren't around, this is before Nevermind was released, Nirvana were not unknown but early in the bill and for many of us, this was the first time we head them live- blew us away - Ace !!
Such a troubled mind, such a beautiful and creative mind. It took all our anger from our hard to fit teenage years and filtered it into shout and music. I was fortunate to be part of it, to dance to nonsense, to sing, jump and push all over to feel part of a universe that unveiled ahead of me. It was wonderful, I enjoyed every second of my troubled teenage years, thank you Kurt.
Well said. These songs are so Nostalgic to me now. I used to smoke bud and listen to Nevermind while trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle... weird memories everytime I hear this music!
'Interpretive dancer'! LOL. Certainly looks like a terrific gig. Wish I'd been there. Such an innovative band, I love NEVERMIND, can't believe it's the 30th anniversary of such a ground-breaking album.
I was at this festival in 91, and saw this live, I think it was around midday and it was a great set. I'd been collecting Sub Pop records and bought Bleach on really limited green vinyl a while before, no-one had heard of them. I thought, yeah this band is going be be huge. So when they announced they were playing Reading had to get a ticket. Not long after this festival, Smells Like Teen Spirit came out and they were huge. I remember Kurt jumping into the drum kit at the end - great ending but wow, it looked painful.
It’s crazy to see Kurt moving around this much on stage, then I realize it’s been awhile since I watched a 1991-prior Nirvana show. :/ wish his passion and energy could’ve stayed this way💔
Quand on voit Kurt Cobain chanter en concert on imagine pas que ce grand chanteur puisse se droguer il est bien la sur seine c'est triste il était si talentueux se mec et d'une beauté et apparemment d'une grande gentillesse c'est toujours les meilleures qui nous quitte

Bowdean Mcnowski social media really fucked us up
Life and music was good back then
spytown77 ultimately, life is what you make it
Totally agree! I was 11 and I'm proud to be grew up with this kind of Music!
Yeah, everyone starts to sound like their Dad.
The band that rocked my childhood, today i'm 29 and i'm into a long shit list of genres and artists, yet Nirvana still rocks my world, cheers from Morocco to the uploader, that's a fine bootleg my friend
Kurt always looked so badass! As a kid I never knew about his “problems “ or that he didn’t like the fame. To me he was a rockstar and one cool dude!
This footage is pure gold
I didn't know maynard james keenan was a back up dancer
who knew
I totally thought it was him too at first. No joke. Have a +1
@Real Poetry Hahahaha! No shit.
"i know the dance steps fit"
@@krisfrederick5001 Brothers Quay!
Kurt sending all his love to the crowd playing Love Buzz off the stage...I'm bursting into tears! He was,is and always will be THE BEST OF THE 90'S MUSIC! Period!
come as you are opens a whole universe ... it's like we live inside a waterfall, with all that watery reverberation ... what a masterpiece ...
What I especially love bout this performance is that it's outdoors AND IN DAYLIGHT. Don't see that very often at a Nirvana gig
Itchy Dupa cause after this they headlined every show they did! This was literally days before they exploded!!
They played a festival in Germany the next day. It's a shorter set, but I feel a better set. Some shows they are more on than others. You can see it also on UA-cam.
@@Michael----- link?
@@hellojelen2598 1:13 who's that weird dude?
@@bradford_shaun_murraythat’s the interpretive dancer, Tommy. He just dances around the entire time.
His voice was still good back then. Because he was not stoned so much as he was in the late 1993. Also this version of Come as You Are is my favorite one! 15:09
From India i am happy to see this of music in 2016 .,.. i wish i was there 25 years ago this is something i need in my life
I wonder if this crowd knew what they were really hearing! They were hearing the anthem to a new type of music that changed music FOREVER!!!
THANK YOU NIRVANA
Did you hear how quiet they were during Smells like teen spirit? They hadnt heard it before, it was released the next month, nobody knew how huge it would become
I was there. We knew they were something special belive me
I was there we new…
@@kilburncounty indeed though I preferred Mudhoney
Really cool of Maynard to come out and dance with Nirvana!
Just graduated High School 1990. I always wished I had grown up in the 60s because all of my heros Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Iommi, Howe...all came out of that era...I had no idea that I was living through the last great movement in Rock, and in a small way, was a part of it. The 90s were so great on so many levels...it's all just shit now. Literally everything.
It’s not ALL shit, you just have to look around.
Yeah there’s a lot of good bands around, you must not be looking hard enough
I was part of the underground banjo movement of the mid to late 90s so I don't know what you're talking about man. We was lit.
Great van fleet . Metalica . Rage against the machine etc etc
Have hope. The reason rock is dead is no one takes the time to listen to new rock. You always listen to the same shit you did 30 years ago. You might find new bands you like
if i could go back in time just one single time in my life I dont think I could resist picking a nirvana show
Моя любимая группа! Все честно и по-настоящему! Вечная память стилю и голосу Курта! ✊ БЕЛАРУСЫ МАЮЦЬ РАЦЫЮ! ✌️✌️
One of the best Nirvana's live performance ;)
kurt jumping to the drum...memorable... legend.
Kurt was definitely one of us.
I think this was the peak of Kurt's voice.
Absolute ripper of a set. Kurt in particularly great voice.
For those that weren't around, this is before Nevermind was released, Nirvana were not unknown but early in the bill and for many of us, this was the first time we head them live- blew us away - Ace !!
I wonder whatever happened to Tony the Interpretive Dancer. Bless him.
***** no, I didn't mean it like that at all. I just meant it affectionately. I have idea at all where he is or what he's doing now.
***** lol, it's not weird, it's just a very English phrase, I think!

Simon Waldram @2010
Simon Waldram What is the full name of the dancer?
That front row is wild! The 90s was such a great time for festivals, I sure do miss that scene.
After that, music would never been the same.
Tony is my spirit animal
Tony is my teen spirit 😂
@@vinifryderyk4306 i think tony is the shit
Dammmmm boy tony got the groove
I will forever be jealous of Dancing Tony. Dancing Tony is a legend.
Watching Kurt do his thing is like watching one of those old Blues or Appalachian folk musicians, the realness and rawness of it is hypnotizing
Kurt was a rock n roll machine ......no more words!
i love how he deals with guitar failures and improvises so well. And the solos are amazing!
Such a troubled mind, such a beautiful and creative mind. It took all our anger from our hard to fit teenage years and filtered it into shout and music. I was fortunate to be part of it, to dance to nonsense, to sing, jump and push all over to feel part of a universe that unveiled ahead of me. It was wonderful, I enjoyed every second of my troubled teenage years, thank you Kurt.
Well said. These songs are so Nostalgic to me now. I used to smoke bud and listen to Nevermind while trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle... weird memories everytime I hear this music!
I felt the same dude. Its a nice vision you did
Às@ss@@1
Such cheerful vibes. These videos just make life in the 21st century better.
Kurt, what a guitar player!
I was stoned out of my face.... Amazing to see this again...thank you....They came on at about 1 in the afternoon...
If I could go back in time I would travel to this concert, grab a beer and let Nirvana destroy my brain.
If I could go back in time I would save Kurt or Freddie Mercury.
Cliff Burton and Dimebag Darrell and Layne Staley too
Nirvana live in 1991, there is nothing better in the history of the world
We need a 2020 interview with tommy the interpretive dancer stat
We got it. Watch the documentary "when Nirvana came to the UK"
I'm danceing like tony when nobody at home Lol
jajaja me too
Then ur cute😁
My band just got my friend to dance like dancing tony we are gonna use him at a show
Me to
Same here.
39:07 is where he actually jumps into the drums
'Interpretive dancer'! LOL. Certainly looks like a terrific gig. Wish I'd been there. Such an innovative band, I love NEVERMIND, can't believe it's the 30th anniversary of such a ground-breaking album.
8/23/2019 STILL in love with Kurt Cobain and his visceral and massive talents... I want to be with him then...and now some days...🤷🏽♀️❤️💯😪
Sweet jesus this priceless footage....kurt was such a fucking awesome frontman in those early years especially...so crazy animated
I was at this festival in 91, and saw this live, I think it was around midday and it was a great set. I'd been collecting Sub Pop records and bought Bleach on really limited green vinyl a while before, no-one had heard of them. I thought, yeah this band is going be be huge. So when they announced they were playing Reading had to get a ticket. Not long after this festival, Smells Like Teen Spirit came out and they were huge. I remember Kurt jumping into the drum kit at the end - great ending but wow, it looked painful.
Do you still have that vinyl?
Absolutely fucking PHENOMENAL when KURT smashes into the drum set!!!! He was so crazy beautiful! BEST FRONTMAN OF ALL TIME.
Kind of shit that's makes me super grateful for youtube. Saw pictures of this concert in my Nirvana books, looked so raw. Thanks for uploading!
Happy 51th Anniversary Kurt!
Forever Missed!
This is awesome, thank you. Loved the different angles of the jump at the end. Thank you for taking your time to make this for us.
I was there in the moshpit 21 years old seeing Nirvana for the first time having the time of my life ❤🔥
i dont think ive ever seen kurt so into the music until watching this yay
It’s crazy to see Kurt moving around this much on stage, then I realize it’s been awhile since I watched a 1991-prior Nirvana show. :/ wish his passion and energy could’ve stayed this way💔
Quand on voit Kurt Cobain chanter en concert on imagine pas que ce grand chanteur puisse se droguer il est bien la sur seine c'est triste il était si talentueux se mec et d'une beauté et apparemment d'une grande gentillesse c'est toujours les meilleures qui nous quitte
I particularly love this performance of Come as you are. this is my favorite of their live shows aside from unplugged in NY
The one from Seattle 93' is also super amazing.
They most definitely were a special band. One of the greatest in my lifetime for sure.
"Here we are now, entertain us" just put it all into perspective back then. It all made sense.
holy crap. it makes so much sense realizing how different of a time as well as the style of living of the 90s
Grohl on drums really made nivarna such a powerful dynamic player....
That jump into the drum kit was a epic moment.
I read he dislocated his shoulder from it
@@kurtpountney5747 He did. In the interview there his arm was in a sling.
The best rock band on earth
