Nirvana - Rare - VPRO Radio Session (Nov 25 1991)

Love to see how Kurt was even in 1991, tinkering with the arrangement of "Where did you sleep last night"...

Man that voice in “HORRIFIED”. He can play just about damn anything and when he opens his mouth, it’s instantly sick and iconic.

First time hearing Here She Comes Now acoustically and WOW. He really was a talented dude. RIP Kurt.

So bluesy where did you sleep is. So much soul, he blended punk rock and traditional folk. How fucking innovative. 2 genres who don't fit in the respective category of 90's yet bring punk and folk back. Kurt was something else man. Fuck

We just gonna ignore how incredible to this version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? is???

OMG! Every time I think I've heard all there is I stumble across something like this.

Info ----------------------- -The performance took place in Jingle Production Room 2. -The session was a co-production between the Dutch radio stations VPRO and VARA, recorded for their shows Nozems-a-GoGo and Twee Meter De Lucht In, respectively. -The band reportedly played/jammed for about three hours. Since the studio crew did not know when the songs started, they recorded intermittently throughout the session. -The band was asked to play "Polly" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but Kurt didn't want to. -Kurt reportedly arrived at the studio later than Krist and Dave and kept walking in and out of the studio during the session. -The jam featured Dave on guitar and vocals by himself. -At the end of the session, after Kurt and Dave ran away, Krist said, "We know when we fuck up," and left. -Picture is from the session -Later in the day they also performed at the Paradiso

I love that they were asked to play certain songs and just told them “we okay what we want” and played some nirvana songs probably no one had heard at this point ever before that never made it onto a main record and a cover

Kurt never leaves my spirit

"Horrified" is a very unique song

Time stamps: 0:01 Virginia (Unknown Song) 1:03 Where Did You Sleep Last Night 6:32 Here She Comes Now 12:10 Horrified

The interesting thing about this VPRO session is the total iconic photo of Kurt with the acoustic guitar looking like an angel while being obviously (from knowing the story and hearing peoples takes who were there) dope sick… fortunately for the show later that night it’s pretty easy to scor3 in Amsterdam.

About 12 hours before this, Kurt & Courtney did heroin together for the first time. He's had next to no sleep. Later the same day, Nirvana play The Paradiso. Kurt and Courtney's paths cross two nights earlier (23rd Nov) Nirvana and Hole sharing the bill in Ghent... Nirvana left for Amsterdam and Hole for Nijmegen. After Hole's gig on the 24th, Courtney paid Nathalie Delisse 150 guilders to drive her 1hr 30m to Amsterdam in Delisse's Citroen 2CV to be with Kurt. They got high etc.... and Courtney left that morning on a train for France to continue Hole's European tour. This is also when Frances was conceived, being born 9 months later.

The world was so much better when Kurt was around. Let's be real. Greatest loss for all of generation x

"we play what we want" Fuck yeah

Nirvana nigdy mi się nie nudzi. Mogłabym jej słuchać cały czas

Where Did You Sleep Last Night- Kurt's amazing voice. Polished to perfection in Unplugged NY after Dave was muted.

This is wonderful I cant even begin to express how I dont want it to end

I heard that recording of here she comes now a million times many years ago. I had no idea it was taken from a radio session. It reminds me of what I was thinking while I listened to it. And who I was discussing it with. And what they had to say about it.

What say...this is Nirvana!!! Great band,great performance!
