Nirvana

In the fall of 1991, Nirvana was riding a wave of burgeoning success, thanks in large part to the release of their iconic album "Nevermind" just a few months earlier, in September of that same year. This live recording from the “2 Meter Sessions” in Amsterdam, dated November 25, 1991, showcases a band on the cusp of superstardom, performing not only their own material but also a captivating cover of Velvet Underground's "Here She Comes Now." It's fascinating to think about where they were at that moment—Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl had barely begun feeling the full weight of their international acclaim. The performance itself captures a raw, unfiltered energy, emblematic of Nirvana's early days, before they became global rock legends. It's a real treat to see their playful side as they tackle such an iconic cover, emphasizing their deep appreciation for alternative music, and perhaps, foreshadowing their own lasting influence.
