while someone's tuning a guitar: kurt says,"I thought we were a big, rich, rock band. it raises the hairs on your neck, i swear. the voice, the way he looked up at the audience for a split second before he ended the song (as someone on another mtv show said, that was kinda his "i'm done" look), the quiet sigh after that cry (that wasn't supposed to rhyme but i can't think of any other way to put it). favorite parts: rendition on The Man Who Sold The World (one of my favorite songs) ending of Where Did You Sleep Last Night (geez, who didnt get chills?). i like the song, but it sounded a lot better without it. i'm so glad they decided not to do smells like teen spirit. they picked songs from the meatpuppets (who guest appeared), david bowie, and ledbelly. The surprising part about this show was that you were expecting a lot of their biggest hits to be played, yet about half the time they were doing renditions of songs (very good renditions, i might add).

i also enjoyed just watching him play his guitar since right now i'm learning how to myself. kurt, as always, kept the audience's attention with his growling voice and emotional, and sometimes (most times) painful, looks on his face. but anyway, i loved how nirvana could strip away a lot of the noise that most of their songs are composed of (which i love) and get it down to the simple sound of acoustic guitars and quiet drums (which i love even more). i couldn't be pulled away from the screen and only wished that i could have seen it in person, really been there. honestly, what can be said about this performance that already hasn't been said? it was amazing to watch. would nirvana, the leaders of grunge (no matter how much kurt hated it) and one of the loudest, grittiest bands of the 90s, be able to play acoustic? take away the drowning out of drums and guitars? of course.
