Anyone here who had the honor and opportunity to see Nirvana live?

I kind of think that can't even be real. That would be too awesome.
I had tickets to see them at lollapalooza in 94’. A month after he passed. it was still an epic concert but would have been that much better if they were there headlining.
Yup. I lived in the Seattle metro in the early 90s when grunge was just taking off and saw most of the bands that would end up blowing up. You could see them pretty regularly back then. I think I first saw them in early 1990 at the University of Washington with 3 other locals at a student-run type of show. Paid like $5 or something stupidly cheap like that at the door.
The coolest though was they played an impromptu set at Beehive Records and the place was packed like sardines with people on other's shoulders, on top of racks, wherever you could get in. Was originally supposed to be a small listening party and album signing, but when the handful of people they expected turned into hundreds of us lined up down the block, Kurt decided to play instead.
Yep I did.
Took my lil brother to his very first concert at Nirvana's last show in Toronto in Maple Leaf Gardens. I skipped school to line up at TicketMaster to get the tickets. Ah... Pre-internet days. When you could demonstrate being a true fan and get in and a highschool kid could afford to see the biggest band in the world.
