Nirvana - Negative Creep Live Performance at The Paramount, Seattle

Venue: Paramount Theatre Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Date: October 31, 1991

Let’s take a trip back to October 31, 1991, when Nirvana delivered an electrifying live performance of "Negative Creep" at the Paramount Theatre in their hometown of Seattle. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their iconic album, *Nevermind*, which had hit stores just a month earlier, in September. It was a pivotal time for the band, as *Nevermind* was rapidly rising to fame, catapulting them into the spotlight and bringing grunge music to mainstream audiences. Interestingly, the song "Negative Creep" originally appeared on their debut album, *Bleach*, which had a much different vibe, showcasing their raw, underground essence. By performing it at such a monumental event, Nirvana blended their early influences with an emerging, heavily mainstream sound – a true testament to their explosive evolution. This performance, alongside their rising fame, encapsulated a moment in rock history where the underground became the mainstream, illustrating the band's powerful impact on music in the '90s.
