    Nice job. I remember the clean guitar parts in this performance (especially the Rape Me intro) sounding beautifully glassy & clangy.

    I met him here. At this show. He wasn't very nice to me. I bumped into him on the street. And of course I was like shit and I froze and I could only say hi to him and that I was a fan and I am going to this show and the one in Roseland. And he just said "thats nice" in a condescending manner. I was 16. But what an impact on me he made.
    He saw me later on when they were leaving and I was beaming at him and he looked me at like, "oh no this little kid again." Oh well. I get Chills whenever I hear Heart Shaped Box and will forever. Don't meet your idols.

      thats sad. but be reminded that kurts drug use peaked before in utero was released. This was because he was extremely deppressed. Maybe he didn't realize he was being mean

      Sorry to hear, but maybe he was really going through his drug use during this time, and was sick of nearly everyone around. Maybe that's an explanation, probably didn't mean to be a dick to a young kid like you.

    Great tone recreation, you nailed it, that univox with the JB sounds awesome! Loved that outro as well, I've concluded that speakers are the most important factor in tone.

    Amazing! 🤘🏼🔥 (as always 😉)
    I remember watching this live at my friend's house as a teenager and being so psyched they were playing, but Kurt's tone sounded so shitty to me lol... like it was run through an old digital pedal that lagged and felt mushy or something. Plus, he played a bit sloppy and fudged some notes, so it never was a favorite performance of mine, but I'm really impressed by your video.
    Side note, but years later when I was able to see the behind the scenes footage w Charles Barkley and everyone goofing around, it was just really great seeing them be silly and happy the way they were before things went downhill.
    Thanks man 🙏🏼🤘🏼🙌🏼

    You know, this actually sounds much better than the original! Did you use a Polychorus for double tracking or played both the songs with different guitars? And I even love the rich chorus kind of clean tone. I recommend anyone else to listen with headphones, my god the sound…
