Nirvana - smells like teen spirit - (Live SNL, 1992)

Holy shit! Kurt is doing an upstroke on the main riff

One of the Greatest that ever did it

did kurt love or hate this song? the tragedy is he didn't know, and if you asked him he didn't care.

like a rolling-stone, it wrote itself.

This could be the official version.

Right before he sohot up and eyes rolling behind his head and still sounds great

Changed Everything !!

Define cool. That era. Red haired cobain. Band members tight as f***. There is no more than what they had.

You! Yes I'm talking to you. You would do anything to be in that audience. Doc! Charge the DeLorean! Let's go!

Those drums should file a restraining order

легенда

Best version/performance of this song

Ranks up there with Neil Young and "Rockin' in the Free World" in 1989 and The Cranberries and "Zombie" in 1995.

RIP KURT <3

Siiuuuuuuuuuuuu❤🎉😮

Who else is here to spot the broken drumstick after reading The Storyteller?

I’m literally watching their live Performances of this song at 4:00 am bc I have a show in the morning he’s my idol so I’m getting inspiration 🔥🙏

He was super talented but he will be missed forever his legacy carries on!

heavy on horse

I always sain i make it look easy

This is my favourite music clip of all time.

The triforce is complete!!! That f-ing jagstang is sooo mean looking and sounding (super distortions!!)

This was a dialed in performance, imo

They're completely capable of ripping this song dope live.. So this here confuses me 🤷🤦

Três integrantes fazendo um som potente desse é muito louco e genial.

I think kurt and his band played this song when they actually liked playing it in tune and sounded great

He changed a lyric from "our little group" to "our little tribe" . Guess Kurt graduated us from group to tribe.

GOOSEBUMPS!!!! Rawest 🎶

Breaks my heart.

Can any band out there please bring back the 90s?

They just had the foo fighters on and while watching them i thought about this. Its jan 4th 2025 now so theres that

Dave felt way early at the beginning

This might possibly be the best live teen spirit they've ever performed in my opinion. The closest one to the original recording. I'm a huge Nirvana fan and I've always loved this song but never liked any of thr live version they performed of it other than this one!

Still back it at---January 11, 2025.

One of the greats preforming a classic!! Love it!!

Dave Grohl is a beast on the drums!!

Kurt - "If i stand really still, maybe people won't see me..."

Dave - 🔥"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" *deep breath* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" 🔥

And Krist is just every bass player ever. 😸

This was the first time I saw Nirvana

After 1,000 times...or more....of doing this, Kurt got high & said....I'm done. Sad, but ya' gotta respect his decision......

perfect!

Sounds exactly the same as on the album. Such a sad loss of talent

Bill Burr tipped me off about this. I can't believe I've never seen it.

Where's the dancer?

Live music is still alive & the most symbiotic experiences left in this world for us. Into what most we call Jim bands and it’s all about the shows and the live music, I don’t pay attention to the albums. I can name a bunch of amazing bands, but it’s all about your preference & finding what speaks to you & going to shows. I know navigating through the current climate of music and everything that goes along with trying to find fans is way different than before, but live music is one of the best things still there.

The best live version

Amazing how entertaining 4 chords can be for 5 minutes.

Aperantly, Billy corgan wrote this lol

He try's so hard not to try and it looks like a hell of an effort

This is the best sounding SNL performance ever

Hear how exercised his voice was?
Damn man, he must have been playing like that nearly every day!!!
I think his voice even went out at the very end....damn iam so sorry it went like it did...

Kurt totally has some chorus effect on his microphone for vocals,it's the only time I've ever noticed him using vocal effects
