I still love In The Pines too.
I saw Nirvana back in... 92 I think. Early 90s anyway.
They age well too. Sometimes I think they are an old cliche and then I'll hear them and go.. wow... They WERE good.

Oh yeah, that's another classic, the whole album is just class, and I especially love the videos to watch Kurt Cobain, he was a serious dude in fairness to him and didn't have to try hard, just naturally a dude.
No shit, that's so so sweet!!! Pity it was at the Palais that you don't like much, but who cares, I'd have been happy to go see them in a dump or nuclear facility!
They definitely age well as you rightly say.
Oh and on a side note - was it you that was talking about seeing Blur??? Or was it a different band we were talking about, can't recall. You were going to see them and I was saying they weren't a band I was ever really into?
I wasn't me anyway, although I do like all of Damon Alborn's work, Gorillaz probably my fave... We were talking about Wet Leg and Nick Cave most recently
Hmm, I wonder who it was you had tickets to then.
Ah. I think I know what you're talking about now... I had Pearl Jam tickets for London, but poxy Covid-19 messed that up rightly!
Yeah i didn't care at ALL back then, we were high haha.... what a night. He was a bit of a mess too. I was lucky to see him nontheless. I also saw Jeff Buckley before he carked it too. Magical. I was beginning to think it was me and was waiting for the third haha.
I listened to Mark Lanegan's auto bio after he died and he talked about that entire scene. It's amazing anyone made it out alive. A very dark, very harrowing book in many ways. I am by no means naive and have seen, read and experienced a lot but sheesh, those guys did it hard. If Kurt didn't die when and how he did he would have died down the road of something else. I didn't realise that he was meant to go round and see Kurt that day. I'm not sure if you've ever listened to Mark Lanegan but I can't help think of him when I think about Nirvana.
It's this version that just kills me. They sure knew how to open with bass riffs in those days. So many of those songs I can id immediately by the first bass notes.
