I was at that show. It was the most electric crowd I’ve ever been in. Eddie Vedder climbed the light rafters and was dangling 50 feet above the crowd. Nirvana was legendary and RHCP were peaking. Really was the best of the many many concerts I went to in my life. Nothing else close. When it was over everyone was spent. It was zombies heading back to our cars trying to process what we just experienced. Still have my ticket stub.

Did you not see the part where they mentioned they hung out backstage with Kurt after he invited them in? Also, I know RHCP at least has respect for Dave Grohl as they stepped in to fill some Foo Fighters dates after Taylor Hawkins passed. I would bet that Nirvana would have a bigger respect for the RHCP sound vs Guns n Roses. The Peppers were out there making a different type of music.

It’s gotta be tough trying to describe a band like Nirvana all these years later. The funny part is that a band as legendary as the chili pepper are still humbled a bit by the experience. I wish I gotten a chance to see that tour. Epic.
