Long-Lost Acoustic Nirvana Performances Surfaces

December 4, 2017 Alan Cross 1 Comment

Back in 1991 on a swing through the UK, Nirvana (minus Krist Novoselic, which is to say Kurt and Dave) performed an acoustic set at the Southern Bar in Edinborough. A recording of this unreleased gig has just surfaced online. The uploader says that Nirvana was the special guest at a fundraising event with a local band call Joyriders to raise money for the city’s Sick Kids Hospital.

26 years ago today #Nirvana played an acoustic date in Edinburgh. We've been actively trying to track down a recording for probably 15 years. We thought one didn't exist. It does. Thanks to all involved. https://t.co/mXVNdb2q5d pic.twitter.com/0etCMMtidd
