Nirvana "You Know You're Right" Live Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL 10/23/93 (audio) 

bit weird how at the start dave says this is our last song and in reality it actually was

It is strange to so deeply miss a person you never met.

As if the studio version wasn't surreal enough...

Crazy how we would never have a recorded live version of this song if Kurt didn’t decide to switch it up last minute. One of my favorite songs of all time.

His vocal cords are like heaven and HELL combined

Dave: This is our last song, it's called All Apolo- *Kurt: I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move*

0:11 This is where Dave calls out "This is our last song, it's called All Apologies", but then Kurt begins playing this instead. At the time, the bootleggers looking for unreleased material mistook the title as "Autopilot" or even "On A Mountain" (Dunno how the hell you make that out) and labeled this song as that. PLEASE upvote this or at least spread it around to cure the ignorance that surrounds all these people who keep saying Autopilot was the working title for You Know You're Right.

The most haunting rock song ever written.

that opening riff he played at the start sounded so heartbreaking.

finally, i understand why nirvana was so amazing live. nothing about this is perfect, yet it is...

Heroin addiction, over working, wife cheating on him, missing his daughter, falling out of love of music, this is the sound of all those things happening to a very fragile and sweet man.

"This is our last song, it's called All Apologies." oops lol

There's a charm to this version over the studio version. Almost feels a bit more raw and emotional.

Kurt was always really good at winging lyrics to a riff he had and when Nirvana couldn't think of a song to play that is when the band would fuck around and Kurt would play something the band had previously rehearsed of course, much like the live version of "Sappy" that began as "Verse Chorus Verse." Krist and Dave were usually pretty good about just going along with new material in a live setting from what I have seen, Kurt would play the riff a couple of times and then Dave would come in and I imagine Krist would just watch and listen to what Kurt was playing and he just came up with a bass line on the spot if that is what was needed.

Too bad nobody was videotaping that night.

I love how there is microphone feedback where the guitar feedback would be in the actual song @ 2:00

I was there THAT NIGHT and unfortunately I had to leave early never knowing this was his last time coming thru I wish I would have stayed!!!! next to the pixies no other band has ever mattered that much to me! I can say when they took the stage I never saw saw that many people run like there was a fire to the stage! RIP KURDT

Woah, that set list is insane! Probably the quintessential Nirvana set list

Never knew they performed this live. Awesome

My older sister who saw Nirvana live introduced me to them. We only heard Courtney Loves unplugged version of this and I got my hands on a copy of this and played it for her. She didn't recognize it until the chorus but when she did, the goosebumps we had

Never even met the dude but I miss him very much. He died literally 10 years before I was born 💀

i like this version way more than the studio recorded one, the fact that the distortion kicks in earlier makes it so much more intense

Kurt was our genius, his loss is a generations 💖

“This is our last song” yes, yes it is

I was at this show! Amazing!

Lyrics (Interpretation): I don't need to love again I won't sigh and mope again I just don't need to love again I just don't think it's worth it I don't really love her I don't think I want her Ain't gonna take to love again It's the way your love hurts It's the way you're mad again I don't think I'll love again I won't ever promise her I don't think I want her This time no one else I don't bear to follow you I don't ever promise you Sometimes I don't love you Think I'm tired of loving her I don't really want love Pain (x5) You know you're right You told me to follow him Teach him that I loved him I won't ever promise you I won't even bother to You gave me my first kiss I don't think I want it now I don't ever want again It's all that I had to have It's all that I wanted It's all that I had to I don't think I'll miss her I don't think I want ? Pain (x5) You know you're right

"it's the way your love hurts" 😭 the lyrics to this version are heartbreaking. this song hadn't been released then; he was telling everyone about the hell he'd been living with under courtneys abuse

One last thing I got to say is that whoever saw this live or whoever recorded this is very lucky and whoever did record it and released it thank you very much it answered some questions that I had so again thank you very much

i fucking love that goddamn sweater

This has got to be the most intestting material they did seeing that it is the start of the NEXT phase of what they would have sounded like after In Utero.

CAN I PLEASE GO BACK IN TIME AND BE HERE

I got goosebumps listening to this

If you want to be immortal, just write few songs like THIS. Good luck!

Ah possibly the first and live performance of this song, just great!! Such a haunting open riff!!

I remember when this was the only version of You Know You’re Right to publicly exist (aside from Hole’s terrible cover which everyone rightly ignores).

I wish the studio version was like this. Kurt's voice is amazing and never needed to be double tracked.

This is an amazing version. I wish people could remaster it though. Unless this audio is in its highest quality...

Daaamn, it's better than the studio version, I wish I was there.

Krist is so underrated throwing bass bullets melodically like a pigeon 🎯 machine pew pew pew. And Dave is a zen sensei in his ability to follow Kurts every vocal whim flawlessly ...

Ever hear music in your dreams? That's what this reminds me of

Why nobody in this audience said anything about this song after kurt’s death and this song being unreleased?

I had no idea they play it live

Kurt was a genuis.

Nirvana; Nirvana's best minute: 01:12 - 02:12

Wow i want this to be put on CD now loved this version so much

Kurt never failed to appear on stage. Never threw a famous person late entrance. never cancelled, postponed ...until a doctor told him to stop for 6 months and rest voice due to larangitis on march 2,94... Krist said Kurt was a consumate professional. Guitar tech said he was as serious as anyone about putting on his best show, every show. I think the 6 month break was worrying his wife as Kurt had time to think about leaving her so she spiked his drink the following day.

the song just guts one and cuts one in half

He wanted to escape from the demon he made the mistake of marrying

Love Nivana more than words... Thanks For Posting!! Really Interesting..

The fact that this was the last song and a lot of people draw a connection between "You know you're right" and the relationship of Kurt and Courtney Love

Would of loved to see how Nirvana grew over the decades. Such a massive loss.❤

TYVM for posting NC. And thx to Layne Cobain for lyrics. YNYR is one of my very favorite #Nirvana tunes. This live version is quite different from the studio version. First time I encountered this Aragon Ballroom version, I listened to it about a dozen times -- and wept at the pain I was hearing from him. The lyrics are devastating. "You gave me my first kiss, I don't think I want it now" and somewhere I was hearing "Wish I'd never kissed you, wish I'd never met you, I won't dare to love again" OMG. So I'm hearing him screaming both "Heeeyeey" AND "Paaaaiiiiiiin". I read where Butch Vig and Jack Endino got together to listen to the master tape of this performance and they both hear it as "Heeeeyyy" NOT "Paaaiiin" -- but I hear what I hear. And amazing no one thought Chicago was important enough to videotape. #nirvana

The lyrics: I won't be able to love again I won't sigh and mope again I don't need to love again I just don't think it was worth it 'Cause I don't really love her and I don't really want her I won't take to your love again It's the way your love hurts And it's the way your mad again going on yet again She won't be able to promise me, I don't really I want it now You said no one else, I don't dare to find out I won't ever promise too Sometimes I don't love you, I think I'm tired of living this I don't really want it now Pain/Hey You know you're right You told me to follow him Teach me how to love him I won't ever promise you I won't even bother too You gave me my first kiss I don't really want it now I don't really want you It's the way your love hurts It's the way you look around and it's how you look down You gave me my first love I really don't want it now Pain/Hey You know you're right

yeah, and it is great to hear it live!

What an amazing song….it gives me goose bumps 😮

i´m hearing a boy crying... On this track, the musical soul of Cobain goes on the way of all the "In Utero" album.

Still get goosebumps listening to this..

this song gets to showcase krist's killer bass riffs

I never knew they played this song live

This is FUCKIN GOLD!!

I truly wonder what was the reaction of the audience when they first heard this. They must of been confused as hell, but still jammed out to this.

Goosebumps

Yo, I never knew they played this song live, that's crazy.

Probably the most thought out, pointed, and complex song Kurt ever wrote. Definitely the most haunting. He was definitely sending a message.

Man, I miss going to shows at the Aragon "Brawlroom"! Rip Cobain. I still cant thank you enough for moving America out of the hairband era!

Nirvana trolling the audience again... Dave said it’s All Apologies at 0:11 and they played this.

I feel that Kurt went into this song without Chris or Dave knowing the song fully but they filled in just fine feeding off of Kurt!! I feel it’s how this song was created Totally off of Kurt’s imagination

Beautiful

OH MY GOD! I MISS KURT EVEN MORE THAN EVER 😢💔

We need footage for this i wish it would surface asap

Minha introdução ao mundo do Rock..... Me lembro bem que Eu era adolescente duns 13,, 14 anos na época!! Ouvi Nirvana pela primeira vez e fiquei Fascinado!!! Minha primeira Banda que me tornei fã Nirvana,, tbm Gun's e The Beatles!! O Começo de tudo pra mim!! Sou Rocker desde então rs rs

I can't see why people say their hear "On A Mountain" or "Autopilot." It's clear as day that he says "All Apologies."

Great Song

Imo the best nirvana song. Perfect encapsulation of their sound, the grunge scene and Kurts head space. Raw, powerful and just an amazing song

Omg it sounds so dark and mysterious... especially that intro.

Love the drums

Aragon ballroom many good memories

Fuck me.... Kurt you can feel the torment in your brain and is song about Courtney if it was it don't matter so much life and talent you had but the path you chose maybe would of been different if you slept that night...... Anyone that reads this just get your head on a pillow that's all you have to do the next day might be different but god bless you all

Thanks kurt cobain!!!

el mejor sweter de lana de todos los tiempos

This song is fucking amazing, but the sound between 1:13 and 2:13 its fucking awesome... this version its a lot better than teen spirit... its a shame that so much people dont know more nirvana songs... actually, any nirvana song is better that any song of nowadays... so sad...

I wrote down all the lyrics and I'm going to perform this version to my friend and possibly the talent show next year

Best version....such power...the lyrics...and being heard for the first time. Imagine. And that sweater was a gift from a fan, not Freddy Kruger

So the beat really was original when it was released in around 2002 so in my mind it sounded like when it was released a modern rock song so again if Nirvana released the song back in the day they would have pushed rock and roll from 1994 to 2002 skipping a bunch of stuff it's like a city that had running water then people destroyed it setting us back 100 years I find it very similar

I live near the Aragon now and always beat myself up for being 2 years old at the time and not catching this live.

YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT Yeahhhhhh DEONNA DARLING

23 years ago today

I really like the version on the 'best of album', I seriously reckon if he finished the song as he desired it would have been one of their best, this version sounds good, just too harsh to hear properly.

Imo openion this is sadder than the original it has so much emotion in every verse, We miss you kurt

this song live is better than studio

I was at this show, Mudhoney open for them... Great gig.

i was there. its real.

RIP Legend

Very cool, different lyrics.

Still hoping for a soundcheck of this to turn up...🤞🤞🤞 I remember buying the Small Clone Bootleg, "The Sermon on the Mount" for a ridiculous amount at a record fair. Definitely one of best purchases.

if he recorded this in the studio i believe it would be more successful than the original

Much like "Riders On The Storm" arguably was for The Doors, this song (the final studio recording for Nirvana) might just be song Cobain and co. wrote and recorded!! At least they were able to perform it live as a band -- the same can't be said for The Doors and "Riders..." as Morrison died before they were able to tour in support of their final album on which that song first appeared.

This is awesome. When I saw them in Springfield MA 1993 Kurt played this songs main riff while lying on the stage at the end of the set. Krist was fooling around and threw some water at Kurt by shaking a water bottle. Kurt then stood up and threw his guitar at the disco ball above the stage. Show over. Didn't know at the time that riff was this song. You can hear all this here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dgwvm29UFKw.html

I don't need to love again I won't sigh and mope again I just don't need to love again I just don't think it's worth it I don't really love her I don't think I want her Ain't gonna take to love again It's the way your love hurts It's the way you're mad again I don't think I'll love again I won't ever promise her I don't think I want her This time no one else I don't bear to follow you I don't ever promise you Sometimes I don't love you Think I'm tired of loving her I don't really want to love Chorus: Pain x5 You Know You're Right Verse Two: You told me to follow him Teach him that I loved him I won't ever promise you I won't even bother to You gave me my first kiss I don't think I want it now I don't ever want again It's all that I had to have It's all that I wanted It's all that I had to I don't think I'll miss her I don't think I want

*That Cello though!*
