New video footage of grunge pioneers Nirvana has appeared which depicts the band at the peak of their career prior to the death of front man Kurt Cobain on April 5, 1994.
This year will see the 20th anniversary of Kurt’s suicide, while Nirvana are set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 10, 2014.
Documentary maker Dave Markey stood side of the stage for their show on 30th December in 1993 and filmed what would be the band’s final LA show.
“20 years ago tonight (December 30, 1993) I stood on Kurt’s side of the stage at my hometown’s Los Angeles Forum and captured the last set I would see of this band” explains Markey “A band that I had worked with, toured with; people that I would call my friends. A band that both the world and myself really loved (can’t really say this has happened since.) Within just a few short months it would sadly all be over. Sharing a few songs here; a couple covers Vaselines’ Jesus & Bowie’s Man Who Sold The World) and All Apologies. I’m glad to have documented this show, as well as their pre-fame fun in 1991.“
