Nirvana

Back in February 1990, Nirvana was riding the wave of their explosive underground success, shortly after releasing their iconic album, "Bleach." This raw and gritty debut featured a sound heavily influenced by punk and underground rock, showcasing the band's potential and laying the groundwork for their future. Just a few months later, they would release "Nevermind," launching them into unparalleled fame. The live recording from the Pine Street Theatre captures the band in one of those pivotal transitional moments. Here’s where it gets fascinating: they performed "Molly's Lips," a cover of a Vaselines song, which not only reflects their eclectic influences but also points to their growing collaboration with bands from the Scottish scene. This performance is like a snapshot of a band on the brink of something monumental, harnessing a raw energy that would soon resonate with millions worldwide. Incredible, right? It’s almost surreal to think that such a momentous journey began in humble venues like this!
