I was at the concert and saw Kurt cry during this song. I couldn't forget how he cried and screamed from his soul at the end of the song.

i’d heard a story about this version, only reason why i found this. “the day before valentine’s day, kurt was in paris with nirvana while courtney love was in london working on some things with hole. it’s said they talked about spending the night together so they could spend a valentine’s day in paris. apparently, kurt had decorated the hotel room with roses, candles and champagne, but courtney called him and said she couldn’t fly to paris because she didn’t finish her business. kurt spent the night alone. the next day, nirvana played at le zenith and before the show, kurt was told that courtney didn’t go the day before because she was with another man, probably billy corgan, who was in london too. in the last second, kurt decided to start playing ‘where did you sleep last night.’ it’s a heartbreaking version where he screams his soul out. some of the audience of the front row claim they saw him cry middle-end of the song.”

This song its like a post credit scene of a really sad movie about Kurt.

That shit just made me cry......the line "I'm going where the cold wind blows" really saddens me when Kurt sings it. He deserves better than that....just so emotional

Poor Kurt sounds truly heart broken. This sounds way more sad than the Unplugged NYC version.

I was there that night. Couldn't believe when he died that I had seen them do this just 7 weeks before.

4:40 That small little tone change.

Wow that chello is so so eerie

This is magnificent, but also the saddest, most upsetting Kurt performance I've ever heard. He just sounds like he's completely fucking done with everything.

Was reading the comments and thought I had gotten to the end of the song where you all were commenting on his screaming. I didn't hear it and didnt know what you guys were talking about.... then I got to the actual end of the song. I've listened to alot of Nirvana and I have never heard him scream from his soul like that, nor have a felt a scream so much in my own soul. Holy shit Kurt.

2:33 amazing vocal control

Its so amazing how much pain and power he put in this song, even this version. His heart must have been shattered in thousands! The „scream“ at 3:50 is something you couldnt find a word for. I never heard any other song with that amount of emotion. Just a legend. Rock in Paradise 🖤💛

the cello building and cascading as his screams rip through you and leave that haunting ass chill at the end ugh i love this so much 😭😭💖

He was captured crying during the performance you can hear it at 1:07 poor thing 😔

Can't wait to see him, hopefully in about 40 years, il buy him a beer

Wow the mtv unplugged version has always been a favourite but this is amazing

This voice is so addictive...

So much more than rock n roll Kurt Cobain was. He had that soul, that twang and that passion of a country musician or a blues artist. Way more than rock n roll his music could've gone

3:50 So haunting

Justice For KURT 2024

So amazing. Haunting. Incredible. You are missed Kurt.

"The best NIRVANA live cut of all time. Roar Aasheim, Matt Reeder, Chris Hickman, and Felipe Souza all have this rendition as #1 on their lists. This performance was the last time the band would ever perform the song. Rolf Fassbind sets the scene, "Kurt's vocals, the cello - everything sounds very emotional."

Hauntingly beautiful

I still do love Nirvana. I got into their music around the age of 12 or 13 in 1993. I'm 41 now and the love of their music is still fresh. There are some moments, feelings that'll never go away. Nirvana's effect is one of them. It'll never sleep. I'm still in my boots rocking.

No matter how happy I can be; I hear this and get just so sad

As a musician, there are some songs you relate to so much that you cant sing it without crying, maybe you can if you dont think about it, but when you resonate with it so much it has so much more depth when u perform it because your letting the people see that what you sing you mean it.

MTV version ain’t got nothing on this

It all fits together in a fitting yet terribly heart breaking way. If you haven’t heard the story behind this version of the cover, scroll through some other comments, they’ll tell you. But basically, his wife abandoned him on Valentine’s Day to be with another man. In the song, he’s asking from a third person point of view about where the protagonist spent the night, and asking her not to be deceitful about her doings. With the context of the performance and the situation, this could be seen as Kurt’s actual wife who spent the night somewhere else. But perhaps the more terrifying part comes after this, where the protagonist’s (in this case Courtney) husband (in this case Kurt) was stated to be a hard working man who was killed. Intentional or not, Kurt quite literally told the story of a man who’s worked hard and had gone through a lot, had his wife sleep somewhere else and seems to lie about it, and finishes with the man dying. In other words himself. Kurt told his story, and he did it all in one of the most devastating performances of his life, where every inch of pain and agony can be heard leaving his mouth, where you can hear the sound of a man’s life shattering around him. This is the sound of a man who is breaking, who has gone through it all. Go ahead and debate his suicide after you listen to this, I dare you.

5:04 That cello is bone chilling.

Goosebumps... Such an incredible performance

Wow,this sounds like a Rock Opera.Amazing!

This is better than the MTV Unplugged Version

love the cello in this, it's just beautiful

I've got this concert on a two disk set that I bought, probably 20 years ago and this song was exceptionally well done, as well as how present the cello is throughout, much more so than it was during the Unplugged recordings. Right after this song ends, he does some feedback with his guitar, something he did somewhat often and to me was a master at using it, which produced some hauntingly beautiful sounds.

Melora Creager on cello

he sang very well at live

Top of the tops nothing higher than this Kurt reached REAL NIRVANA I MISS HIM SO MUCH 🌠🌌🪐⭐🌎🚀🎇💖

this one just makes my eyes pop out because I know what the hell he's going through

The raw emotion behind this version of the song is absolutely phenomenal you can literally feel the pain he was going through

BEST VERSION

Forgot to share, that there's another incredible performance of this song he played solo at a concert in Castaic lake, California, which can also be found on the 2nd "Outcesticide" album called "The Needle and The Damage Done", where he really screams it well. It'll give you goosebumps, if you haven't heard it.

Best music in the world

Isso é tão assombroso e lindo ao mesmo tempo 🇧🇷🎶🤘🏾🖤👑

If only, if only..

This recording gives me goosebumps

The pain in his voice haunts me til today, its a part of his sad story & ending:(

Bonito

Will always be number one

and I thought that the best version of this song was the unpluged. how wrong I was

Found this 29 years to the date. Happy Valentines!

Love this

He put every last drop of his soul into this one.

Wish the cello was like this for the unplugged one makes it even better

Amazing art

so epic

Pure blues

the most heart breaking and passionate performance ever

wow...

Это заставляет меня плакать. Я на грани.

M"agrada molt aquet chicot , es muy buen profesional , 😔su expresión siempre era de tristeza , pobret , descanse en la más absoluta paz

I love u for that video

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through Her husband was a hard working man Just about a mile from here His head was found in a driving wheel But his body never was found My girl, my girl, don't lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through My girl, my girl, don't lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through My girl, my girl, where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, the pines The sun don't shine I'd shiver the whole night through

Chills

sad that some feel the need to invent a dramatic story even though it's not factual at all. No, Courtney was never supposed to be in Paris since her band Hole was scheduled to film a music video in California: Miss World.

Hubbie led belly was one of the greatest musicians that ever played a guitar that ever lived !!!! Kurt knew great musicians he had a great gift and this song proved that !!!!!

mi presentación favorita de toda la historia ktmreeee

Que hacer cuando estas tan enamorado de una persona, por mas sospechas que tengas quieres seguir con ella a como de lugar, sin importar el daño que te haga solo quieres dar todo para estar junto a ella y ser felices, y a ella no le importa nada probablemente nunca sintio nada y solo jugo con alguien que la respeta y ama💔.

bro that cello is so annoying

Faut vraiment être fan de Nirvana pour gommé la nullité du truc ...

Its so amazing how much pain and power he put in this song, even this version. His heart must have been shattered in thousands! The „scream“ at 3:50 is something you couldnt find a word for. I never heard any other song with that amount of emotion. Just a legend. Rock in Paradise 🖤💛
