My first and last time seeing Nirvana. I went to see if they were actually brilliant or if it was just hype. At one point during the show the entire audience, from the front of the barricades to the nose bleeds simultaneously hovered for about three seconds - I kid you not. The power and magic in the room that night was unlike anything I have ever seen. While I didn’t become a huge fan of Nirvana, I did develop a massive appreciation for the mastery of Kurt’s songs and the musicianship of all three band members. I had never seen a true punk band command an audience like only a pop sensation. There was a feeling of mass hypnosis or crowd hysteria that was authentic. I had experienced club shows with this level of energy - the Ramones, Social Distortion, Rancid, but never a stadium rock show that scaled appropriately and authentically. This may have been just another show to the band, but to me the night was a seismic shift in what could be achieved by a trio of punk losers. Just brilliant. When does Kurt get his sainthood?

Technically, I believe many have already christened him a rock-god. I’m truly jealous of some of these artists you’ve had the opportunity to see. I work in the industry and have met many cool musicians, but will obviously never have the opportunity to meet or work with many of my top favorites.. From what I understand, this show wasn’t just “another gig” for Nirvana. It was counted amongst their top 5 favorite shows they ever played. The event itself was for a cause they were passionate about and didn’t just want to earn money, but put on a performance that would be worthy of honoring the victims of those brutal attacks. It was one of the longest concerts they ever played in their careers and, as far as their set list, was unofficially the transition show from Bleach-Nevermind era sets into a nevermind-in utero set list as it marked the final live performance for some early “pre-fame” songs and the introduction of new songs to the set that many were hearing for the very first time that would appear on In Utero. You can tell that the band is playing with passion and there isn’t the impression that comes across in many of the final European shows that Kurt is just phoning it in or going thru the motions but is really putting everything into every song. Keeping up such a pace for this long of a show deserves some recognition as it’s not at all common to see many bands successfully do so. If it was professionally recorded, I honestly feel it deserves a major commercial release. I know I’d buy it in a heartbeat (both vinyl and dvd copies).

Kurts Voice is very powerful during this show, he's still into at this point. Ive never been able to explain how crazy the gig i saw at Coogee Bay Hotel Sydney, That was the most electric atmosphere i've ever experienced! seeing them in 1992 just as Nirvanamania exploded.

On his way through, Kurt sprinkled some of his magic and unique music upon us, and then he left. Just a chest full of treasures and wonder, but tucked into such a short duration, that we most likely will never see the likes of again. He said more in his 4 short years than most will say in an entire lifetime..

A very special concert in terms of everything happening on stage: This is technically an In Utero era gig (the album was already done but not yet released), but they don't have Pat Smear yet, and Kurt still uses his Nevermind era equipment, no Polychorus or Sansamp sound yet, no Mustangs or Jagstangs.

Excellent quiality of video on this version concert! =) Thank you, AlternativeCopperpot5! =) Отличное качество этого концерта! Очень мощный концерт! =)

Never had given much thought to the more technical elements of their sound, but here, as in other better live recordings, it's interesting that Cobain apparently consciously chose single coil Strat tones in a period where other similar ,single guitarist arrangements sought big ,fat ,humbucker tones .These generally fill space, and lend themselves to easy , powerful, driven arrangements, while sounding fuller, clean.The effect, I suppose, reflects many of Cobain's influences, - from The Pixies, to the Gun Club, to even early Hard Rock; he well utilizes the dynamic possibilities of the Strat. For the heavier, fuller ,pieces,- like Teen Spirit, - out comes the Jazzmaster, - a natural choice as an option to humbuckers.I'd suggest that these choices,and these particular sounds, gave Nirvana a expressive leg up on other similar bands, providing a vital dynamic range in what otherwise could be all too simple, flat arrangements,less capable of withstanding repeated listening.The choice to bring in a second guitarist was a natural one, especially as venue size grew,- and as musically, the band's musical vocabulary expanded.

@@copheart Ah, yeah, - forgot about the modded Jag.Same principle, bit more output.When you play live, filling Sonic space becomes a thing, which was a lesson I learned in a similar band arrangement.I'm not sure what those are, but vintage HB's push the same 7/8 k as Jazzmaster pickups, but can get much hotter( similar broad frequency range) .The original Jag clawed single coils are uniquely thin and twangy, - unique guitar sounds. You're right about that, though.

Aside from the brilliant song writing and the force Dave’s drumming provides there’s a sense that this is a dangerous band. Anything could happen; they’re out on a ledge.
