Nirvana - Live in Rio de Janeiro - Amateur footage + SBD audio [RESTORED] (23/01/1993) 60 FPS

This is one of two most infamous Nirvana concerts in 1993. After Sao Paulo gig, which is considered as band’s worst performance ever, Nirvana played in Rio de Janeiro, which was much more regular than Sao Paulo show, but still unusual. Setlist seems to be pretty normal, altough they jammed The Viletones’ Possibilities and Aerosmith’s Sweet Emotion. Flea played trumpet during Smells Like Teen Spirit. This amateur footage is worth watching if you’d like to watch it from a different perspective. It’s incomplete, but cameraman’s work is really nice, especially when you realize that it’s so distant. Audio was replaced with soundboard recording. The only interesting part on amateur footage’s original audio was some audience clapping at the beginning of About a Girl like it’s The Beatles song. 0:00 In Bloom 4:15 Come As You Are 7:40 Krist talking about cancer 8:20 Love Buzz 10:17 Lithium 14:31 Polly (altered lyrics) 16:29 About a Girl 17:42 Flea comes in 18:51 Smells Like Teen Spirit 23:49 On a Plain 25:19 Scentless Apprentice 33:53 Dive 38:00 Aneurysm 41:03 Territorial Pissings “The show goes normal till ’Love Buzz’. In his pyjama’s pocket, Kurt brought with him a pack of Hollywood cigarettes. He sings the 2nd verse amazingly while smoking the damn cig!! When the song is done they go silent for about 5 seconds. The audience stares at them, not believing in what was happening. Krist decides to say a few words at the microphone. He starts making a speech about hollywood cigarettes, cancer and the zodiac. What he didn’t think was that the audience could barely understand what he was saying. They answer Krist by clapping and yelling “Oh Oh Oh“ constantly. Kurt jokes with Krist saying “I think Oh Oh means ’shut up Krist!’“. Right after that, the band jams on ’Possibilities’ with Krist on the vocals. Kurt can be seen smiling as Krist is singing nonsensical words.“ -
