Nirvana Live Performance of Love Buzz at Rhino Records

Venue: Rhino Records Westwood Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Date: June 23, 1989

In June 1989, Nirvana was still carving out its place in the music scene, right on the edge of what would become explosive fame. This live recording of "Love Buzz" at Rhino Records is a glimpse into a band that was just starting to find its footing. Prior to this performance, Nirvana had released their debut album, *Bleach*, in 1989, which was a raw and gritty sound reflective of the punk and grunge influences that inspired them. Performing in an intimate venue like Rhino Records, this moment captures the band's growing prowess, along with Cobain's electric charisma on stage. Fun fact: "Love Buzz" was a cover of a song by the band Shocking Blue, showcasing Nirvana's knack for reinterpreting classics in their own unique style. Just think—at this point, they were still a bit under the radar, but the seeds of what was to come were already sown. Can you imagine the energy in that room?
