Backbeat Band 6-4-1994 Money, Long Tall Sally, and Helter Skelter 

This was 1994 son, where we didn't care about perfect guitar playing, it was all about passion and having fun.

Almost exactly two months to the day that kurt died. That's insane that Dave was able to play because it was clearly on his mind anytime he played.

A sobering thought: This event took place half way between Beatlemania and the present day.

Greg Dulli's lazy smoke break during the guitar solo on Money might be the coolest thing anyone has ever done.

Man, they should be ashamed of cutting away to all that other footage during "Helter Skelter". That was a legendary performance that, as they themselves said, would never happen again. The least they could've done is just let us hear the whole performance uninterrupted.

I remember that soundtrack being played all over the place during the summer of 94. It was the perfect link between grunge and britpop, just after Kurt passed, and before Liam sang "Backbeat, the word is on the street".

The Afghan Whigs shoulda been all over mtv and their award shows

No one notice, moore playing a normal chord and tunning

this is MTV Movie Awards June 4th 1994..Dave Grohl post Nirvana

I think I just found my new favorite video. Greg Dulli, Dave Pirner, Thurston Moore and Dave Grohl on the same stage is absolutely mind-blowing.

I remember thinking when I saw this in '94 that Dulli even looked a bit like John. Some wild shit. And then he goes off and knocks "Helter Skelter" out the fucking park.

Greg can do whatever he wants :-)

Thurston playing a Rickenbacker 😮 Crazy stuff 😂

Best version of Helter Skelter ever

God dangit, that's the best live performance of Helter Skelter ever! Why cut it off!?

0:12 Money 2:35 Long Tall Sally 4:54 Helter Skelter

Helter Skelter first recorded July 1968, that’s a long time ago!

I can remember watching this at stupid o'clock in the morning in the UK, what a supergroup

At about 2:30, Thurston puts his own imprint on the performance in typical Sonic Youth fashion.

That was awesome! Awhat a Supergroup! Would have liked to have heard it without everyone taking!

What a band.

...fucking epic...love the rawness of it...

That feeling when you break a string at the beginning of the first song knowing that you can't replace the string for the rest of the set.

Greg is the only guy who can sing Beatles back then and nowadays.

Mike Mills is the ultimate badass!

looking for this performance for YEARS!!!

This is a fucking gem!

That's the grunge Beatles ! Ok, folks ?

Good Rock and roll Thanks good sometimes to hear!

The studio gave Thurston Moore a hotel suite that took up an entire level when they flew him out for this, the after party naturally happened there and ran up a $40,000 tab

best supergroup ever

we were happy and we didn't know it

“This is the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, that people never really get to see.” Did I ASK to see that shit, Will? Did anyone ASK to see that shit? I’ve watched this a bunch of times, and my head explodes with the rage of a thousand dying suns every time that part kicks in.

Wow I’m surprised Dave had the courage to play drums live, especially only less than 2 months after Kurt’s death

Dulli casually taking a drag off his smoke. Killer stuff.

Dave Grohl is a fucking monster in the drumms

This is amazing. Why isn't it more famous

Totally brilliant!

I think this is where I started to hate Will Smith...the second they cut to him in the middle of the greatest cover song I've ever seen. BTW saw this on TV when it happened and my jaw dropped. Sure you can say Soul Asylum was Wynona Ryder-rock but even Dave Pirner was good up there. It was like...this mixture of all these 90s indie icons with different styles completely kicking fucking ass. I looked for this clip for like 10 years before someone finally put it on youtube.

Whoa. Fantastic. Man, they should have stayed together.

just another badass item on Dave Grohl's prolific resume

I was never a fan of the individuals in this band (although I still don't know them all) and but I love this record and I didn't realise they had ever done a gig. It sounds like the record too

Oh awesom.

The hardest rocking video I've seen in a long time is this thirty year old cover of sixty year old songs.

Thank you SO much for uploading this. I saw Thurston talking about the finale on 120 Minutes not long after and have been hoping to see it ever since. Almost worth waiting 15 years! Ok, maybe it was....

Fuck me! Dulli is an ANIMAL!

i love Greg Dulli from Aghan Whigs and the Beates and Chris Isaac too..

Entonces éste fue el primer supergrupo que existió. Debo admitir que no los tenía muy presentes porque era muy pequeña, pero porsupuesto que conozco las bandas a las cuales pertenecen, crecí con ellas, y aunque algunas ya no están, (hasta el día de hoy las amo). Una presentación muy noventera; qué buenas épocas tuvimos.

Love it love it

Freaking awesome

amazing que discazo grandes covers de covers hechos por los fab4 videazo muchas gracias

This gig - 4 June 1994

Anyone got the full version of Helter Skelter as performed here?

Yo, I’ve been looking for this. Use to have this recorded on vhs. Never knew who performed this.

Thanks so much for uploading this. A real gem. Good quality too! Thanks again.

Esto es oro yes!!

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Haven't seen this since it aired, you know, back when the VMA's were still cool.

Found you! I love the 90's.

Ah yes, because when I think Legendary-Once-In-A-Lifetime Performance I think two guys going “Guys, look, I’m doing prince.” And “Dude my nipple is like right there.”

damn never seen this

Best cover ever helter skelter!

❤️🤘

Epic cover

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

2021 estamos aqui!

i think this is the grunge beatles ever

That's some hot shit.

Soul asylum

4:28 Therapy? - Screamager...Yes Indeed

Afghan gumball's sonic foo asylum

Во молодцы реперы послушайте стоит ли после таких выходить на сцену

When they went into the solos I couldn’t hear one not. One big mess. Gezzze!

Prob not even close to how hard the OGs rocked in Hamburg !

Pirner looks like he hadn't showered in months!! 🤣🤣

😊

Dave Grohl?

I want to find that Helter Skelter cover version but in better quality.

I think grohl and mills were the only ones sober during that performance...I could be mistaken!

the audience just sittin there watching...what a joke...

Thurston on a Rick 325. It looks like a toy on him!

2:35

Componente todo el pan y bajo la el asiento del

Superv

At least he was among supportive friends. I thought the first time was with Tom Petty on SNL.

Thing is the Beatles played like this in Hamburg

Dulli looks like Lennon!

X la fecha q dice arriba, esto fue al otro dia de q Cobain se volara la cabeza, Dave ya lo sabria???

they should be moshin or somethin

Please upload the entire show of the 1994 MTV Movie Awards that this is from. I have been looking for quite sometime. Thank you.

Which one is Thurston tho? Rickenbacker or Jazzmaster one lol

Should be nice, If MTV can do 1 blue ray of this concert...and without the actual & final generic ! Only the music ! In this futur blue-ray concert , let see the faces of the audience when They hear the lyrics etc. In this band if They were not subject of that crowd , ...They should have their own cameraman filming from the stage and pointing the peoples sit.

At the gates of the obscurentism !

im confused , this was like 2 months after Kurt died and Dave is playing drums already? I don't recall any of this

@grzesieksz its not will that ruins it, its the fucking editor cutting clips in over that epic performance!

Lol, there's a Kurt Cobain lookalike in June 1994 and two Thurston Moores on the stage it seems.

Is anyone on bass?
