Oh yeah, that's another classic, the whole album is just class, and I especially love the videos to watch Kurt Cobain, he was a serious dude in fairness to him and didn't have to try hard, just naturally a dude.
I saw Nirvana back in... 92 I think. Early 90s anyway.
No shit, that's so so sweet!!! Pity it was at the Palais that you don't like much, but who cares, I'd have been happy to go see them in a dump or nuclear facility!
They definitely age well as you rightly say.
Oh and on a side note - was it you that was talking about seeing Blur??? Or was it a different band we were talking about, can't recall. You were going to see them and I was saying they weren't a band I was ever really into?
I wasn't me anyway, although I do like all of Damon Alborn's work, Gorillaz probably my fave... We were talking about Wet Leg and Nick Cave most recently
Ah. I think I know what you're talking about now... I had Pearl Jam tickets for London, but poxy Covid-19 messed that up rightly!
Yeah i didn't care at ALL back then, we were high haha.... what a night. He was a bit of a mess too. I was lucky to see him nontheless. I also saw Jeff Buckley before he carked it too. Magical. I was beginning to think it was me and was waiting for the third haha.
I listened to Mark Lanegan's auto bio after he died and he talked about that entire scene. It's amazing anyone made it out alive. A very dark, very harrowing book in many ways. I am by no means naive and have seen, read and experienced a lot but sheesh, those guys did it hard. If Kurt didn't die when and how he did he would have died down the road of something else. I didn't realise that he was meant to go round and see Kurt that day. I'm not sure if you've ever listened to Mark Lanegan but I can't help think of him when I think about Nirvana.
It's this version that just kills me. They sure knew how to open with bass riffs in those days. So many of those songs I can id immediately by the first bass notes.
