Video: Nirvana Live at the L. A. Forum, 1993 — last live footage

This footage of Nirvana was shot by Dave Markey (“The Year Punk Broke”) on December 30, 1993.

Watch the group perform The Vaselines’ “Jesus,” David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” and “All Apologies.” The sound is iffy at times.

Dave Markey writes:

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. 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.
