I saw Nirvana at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on this tour. Kurt Cobain stage dived into the audience and his foot hit me right in the face 😂 It was awesome
He couldn’t handle the sudden fame which lead to depression. Also he had a toxic relationship with his wife. Being a celeb is hard being under the public eye always!
@@emilyespinal9026 he’s just a Pisces lol I also tend to disassociate a lot especially when I’m doing art or my music, I get lost in my own world a lot
It was incredible! I treasure that memory. The breeders opened for them and i got to meet kim and kelly from that band at a record shop in 5pts bham. My friend and i had saved our lunch money to buy the $14.50 general admission ticket at parisians.
Something about Cobain is so mesmerizing. His juxtaposition between calm and intense is pretty cool. Literally screaming his lungs out in between soft beauty.
Lithium es la medicación que toman las personas bipolares. Un día están allá arriba y otro día están muy deprimidos. Por eso la letra y música suenan como se sienten los bipolares. Translate now ok!
@@DanteLikesRock it's not that he was a technical virtuosa. It was the chemistry they all has together. Nirvana wasnt about playing fast or showing technicality. They were about the passion and being relatable! Anyone can pick up an instruments learn 1 chord and as long as you are passionate and put heart into that is really all that matters. Unless of course being a virtuoso is your thing.
He sounds better live, more real, more emotion gets released. Nevermind is my favorite album of all time but I will even say his voice was just a tad too polished by the studio for that album. Nirvana also felt that Nevermind’s production was too polished as well.
@@barry1369Kurt doesn't do his vocal fry properly. During the making of Nevermind he actually started losing his voice. He went to a vocal coach, but he found the exercises he needed to do ridiculous. So every time he does any screaming, he actually is tearing is voice to hell.
Losing your voice, doesn't actually cause your voice to go. It just makes it harder for you to move your vocal chords, since they're inflamed. The answer, yell harder. There's actually a compilation of Kurt's voice changing pretty much every year, because he is effectively destroying his throat. Dudes a legend.
@Steve Austin 'I'm so happy 'cos today I found my friends, they're in my head' was a reference to the imaginary friend he had as a child, Boddah, and the subsequent 'I'm so ugly, that's ok 'cos so are you' line are independent from one another.
Best live rendition of Lithium imo... the casual way he says "ugly", the throaty power of his screams, the sound of Krist's bass ; it's f××king perfection.
The bass riffs are the trickiest, I've recently discovered that they take time to learn on guitar, some of these riffs sound easy, but lots of muted single notes. The 90's was a drum & bass revival, listen to Korn, the guitarists just play a wall of distortion, or a nursery style rhyme melody. Most of this song seems to be bass lines.
Foo Fighters were ass honeslty. Dave was meant to be on the drums. Imagine being Kurt is more like it, when alive obviously. This is what artistic genius sounds and looks like.
It’s insane how good kurt was literally put his soul into it ,, there’s a fine line between brilliance and crazy !! I actually am more blown away the older I get
Well said. The older I get the more blown away I am as well. It's the passion that you feel!!! Kurt was so honest, raw and passionate. With everything going on in the world right now we relate to it more than ever!!!!
This. The older I get the more I'm blown away by Kurt. Not the other way around. Which shows how much of a genius he was. It's unbelievable. I could kill myself for not seeing my favorite band live when I had the chance. I was too busy fuckin around.
Same. Also more sad the older i get. I didnt realize how young 27 was until i was over 30. I also didnt know what addiction meant until i saw it among my own friends. And a part of me just can't believe Kurt's dead even though he was long gone before I even started listening to Nirvana. He feels like one of my closet friends, got me through my teenage years and after forgetting about Nirvana for several years, i'm obsessed with them all over again and finding confort in their music. :(
Don't say like he said : God is gay !! ...Kurt is going to burn in hell for ever ! Free advice from a Muslim ..Love from Algeria ....And he killed him self too!! He is going to burn for sur !! Think about it !!
@@user-qi2bq8wo4w he was a legend, a great man, you are nobody, and nobody interested in your opinion. If your god has commanded you to hate and condemn people for being gay or saying something “wrong,” do it silently. Desiring to burn a dead person in hell is at least disrespectful to him, his family and others even if he killed himself. This is a tragedy, not a reason for condemnation, especially if you didn’t go through what he went through and don’t know how he felt.
why do I feel like your the type of person who would tell somebody suffering from depressions its their fault for not finding peace with god or you would just tell them to look to god for help even though its "god" who put them in a shitty situation.
The sound of this concert is so good, all is perfect, the two guitars, of Kurt and Pat, the big bass sound of Krist, the heavy drum style of Dave… and the intense voice of Kurt. It’s like they said: “Hey man, we are not a “grunge” band, we are just a great rock band”. (And for me one the greatest). 🎸
They was punk rock.. "grunge" just a nickname for that area music that happening.. On anatomy of music.. Nirvana is punk,pj is folk rock, aic is heavy metal, sound garden is rock
I'm not really a big Nirvana fan, not really my cup of tea, but this performance frickin rocks HARD. You get a sense of how freaking special Cobaine really was in his own way, and there was a lot more talent in there than I think the world got to see.
Can only imagine what it was like being there. My goodness. You've got Pat playing his heart out on rhythm guitar, Krist's slick basslines, Dave's relentless pounding on the drums, and of course Kurt screaming like this is the last show of his life. Just wow. Incredible stuff recorded for us to watch and listen over and over.
Its been 27 years today since Kurt died, he has been gone as long as he was alive. "RIP" Kurt we all miss you and wish you were still here making us smile, you were one of the greatest musicians that ever lived and I just hope that wherever you are your at peace. Your legacy will always live forever Kurt you were the best to do it.
Lithium Live would wake me up in a coma. The song is so good, especially in 92’ at the MTV awards. Man Kurt must’ve been a great person to meet and be around.
I have watched thousands of Nirvana concerts over my life,and this one could be their best show ever! It's something special about Kurt and the rest of the band when they play in Seattle for their home base fans. It's like they turn it up a notch to give them the ultimate Nirvana experience!
Its sad how artists today just talk about how they make money and try to look like a “superstar” yet kurt over here looks better than most artists without trying and doesnt flex money.
I was born in 1988 and I was to young to really understand who they were I remember listening to smells like teen spirit. When I was about 10 I started listening to all their songs and haven't stopped since. Something about Kurt leaves people in aw. Dude was truly one of a kind
It was such a great time creativity for music and life in general..ie before smartphones. Not one phone held aloft in this crowd, just everyone enjoying the show.
This was the song that introduced me to Nirvana and changed the music scene for me personally. I can still remember where I was when I first heard it and how it stopped me in my tracks. I was 14. 30 years later and it still rocks my world. My eldest daughter discovered this song a couple of years ago and it had the exact same affect on her. That's a mark of how great Kurt and Nirvana were and still are.
@@eve4949 you're exactly like my daughter. She got into Nirvana about the same age. She's 17 now and obsessed. Great music always lasts and influences multiple generations. So glad you found them.
So many things amazing about this song. Like how does he go from all-out screaming to singing softly and perfectly in tune? Then I love that walking bass line while Kurt screams his lungs out! Once in a lifetime band!
@@jared699 don’t worry about me. But maybe you should be worried about yourself and your behavior. What’s your problem? I just want to say how much I love the music and for how long. Live and let live.
Its cool being able to go back and watch this concert takes you back to your younger years !! Its like a fountain of youth somewhat lol !!! Kurt will always be that age he never experienced growing old and all the pain that comes with it !!
Love nirvana!! I'm in the Seattle area love the history here and beautiful surroundings miss this era of music wish I could a been there to experience what it was like in the 90s
Watching this takes me back to a 13yr old me just being blown away by this when it aired on MTV!! Now I'm 41 and still blown away by it!! My all time favorite Nirvana jam!! R.I.P. Kurt🤘😇🤘
One of the finest versions of this song live you will hear, I remember I recorded this on vhs on mtv, played it over and over again . God I would have loved to have been there
So good to see live performances where you can hear the artist sing as opposed to the entire crowd drowning them out. RIP Kurt, you made so many of my days better with your music. ❤️
Kurt was everything to me as a young girl finding my place in the world. He showed me I needed no one to show me it was there in me all along. I mourned him. But he did it his way on his terms. I respect that xxx
Fantastic audience... 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, we reached another millennium (2000) and the good concerts and happy and free audiences are over. No phones, a paradise.
I was getting so incredibly bored with modern music so 3 months ago I came back to my 90s music! So much good REAL music back then. REAL talent too! So fake and narcissistic nowadays…
Kurt's deep dive into a depressive existentionalism offers amazing insights all within a song format with a punk-rock tune to it...he was a very unique artist
