So, as you’ll know, there’s gonna be a different bootleg posted in the “Downloads” section every month. I’m just figuring out which one to put up this month and thought I’d re-post December’s choice, Nirvana’s last New Years Eve.
‘The Last New Years Eve’ is one of my favourite recordings of Nirvana live. I’ve had the CD for a while now and still like to take it from the shelf, dust it down and revist it every now and again.
“MTV was pre-taping a big New Year’s Eve concert in Seattle. Nirvana was one of the bands on the bill, but the headliner was Pearl Jam. Not at all surprisingly, come the day of the show, Pearl Jam (an excellent group, don’t get me wrong) flaked out. Maybe Eddie Vedder was having some sort of crisis of conscience, who knows? But they’d decided, out of nowhere, not to play. An enormous pain for all concerned. In frank desperation, the MTV producers approached Nirvana and asked the band to step in and save the show, headline it. This was a considerable imposition: Essentially, we were asking them to play all night. Nirvana said they’d think about it. And they did. They thought about it for, oh, 10 minutes or so. And they said, sure”. Kurt Loder, MTV.com
