Nirvana - Come As You Are Live Performance from 'Live And Loud' in Seattle
In December 1993, when Nirvana performed "Come As You Are" during the "Live and Loud" concert at Seattle Center, the band was riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album "Nevermind," which had been released two years earlier in September 1991, and the follow-up album "In Utero," which came out just a few weeks prior in September 1993. This performance was part of a pivotal moment for the band, as they were transitioning from the massive success of "Nevermind" to the rawer sound of "In Utero." The "Live and Loud" concert was significant not only because it showcased their powerful live presence but also because it marked one of the band's final performances before Kurt Cobain's untimely death in 1994. Notably, "Come As You Are" has become one of their signature songs, reflecting the band's blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics.
