This is the heartfelt story of that show and the live recording that graced so many of our speakers when it was released a year later on November 1, 1994 on CD and vinyl, just months after Kurt Cobain's death. 👉 Subscribe for More Vinyl Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermaker/?sub_confirmation=1 🏆 Become a Member: https://fensepost.substack.com/subscribe WATCH NEXT: ✓ The Story of Smells Like Teen Spirit: https://youtu.be/cCbufj7nskY ✓ The Story of Today by the Smashing Pumpkins: https://youtu.be/sHrImJFDuYM ✓ The Story of Creep by Radiohead: https://youtu.be/vzab4SglvHw 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylroYWVYWWXL84MH1T4Qr0wrRzjwlGMR Get Nirvana on Vinyl 🎧 and Books Referenced 📕 🎧 MTV Unplugged in New York: https://amzn.to/485a5U1 🎧 More Nirvana Vinyl: https://amzn.to/3UcivDr 📕 Serving the Servant: https://amzn.to/3YprWlh 📕 Heavier Than Heaven: https://amzn.to/48pv7wZ FensePost Vinyl Channel is run by Andrew (Andy) Fenstermaker.
