Nirvana Live Performance of Molly's Lips Featuring Eugene Kelly at Reading Festival

Venue: Domein Kiewit Location: Hasselt, Limburg, Belgium Date: August 25, 1991

At the time of the Reading Festival performance on August 25, 1991, Nirvana was on the brink of global stardom, riding high on the success of their breakthrough album, *Nevermind*, which had been released just days earlier on September 24, 1991. This live rendition of "Molly's Lips," featuring Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines, hints at Nirvana's deep roots in the underground music scene and their fondness for indie influences. Interestingly, *Nevermind* sparked the grunge movement and transformed the band's sound into a mainstream phenomenon, while this performance captured the raw energy that defined their live shows. The festival crowd was treated to an unforgettable collaboration that showcased their edgy charm and artistic spirit, solidifying their place in rock history. It's moments like this that remind us how music can create connections and transcend boundaries, isn't it?
