Nirvana - Live in Amsterdam, Paradiso, 25/11/1991 [Audience Source]

Initially, Nirvana were supposed to play at Melkweg, but due to insane demand, the band upgraded to the Paradiso.

This is the last mainland European gig for a while before the begin a long stint in the U.K. from November 26th to December 6th. They are nearing the end, and they don't care. Let's have some fun.

What the audience recording doesn't capture can be found on the many many pro-shot sources that are available to watch online and on Youtube. This gig was also commercially released on the Nevermind 30th anniversary album.

What most people know this gig for is most likely what happens during Breed, Come As You Are and Love Buzz. During Breed's solo, Kurt knocks over the microphone stand and no one picks it back up like during the Paramount gig, leaving him singing on the ground for the last part of the song. After Breed, you can hear the guitar is horribly out of time when Kurt attempts to play Come As You Are. Kurt is aware, and continues to play the song. The lyrics are screamed and out of tune, leaving one of the more interesting performances of that song... The Argentina gig says hello. Finally, during Love Buzz, Kurt notices a camera and starts staring at it while singing (a lot of photos including the thumbnail come from that moment) and during the solo, he attacks the camera man. It's barely audible here, but Dave sings a line from The Village People's song called 'Macho Man.'

Shorter gig. 60 minutes, but they are great.
