One Of Nirvana’s Earliest Performances Of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ Surfaces

An old video has surfaced of Nirvana performing “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at a Seattle record store, just one week before the release of their landmark album Nevermind. The video is from a 45-minute performance at Beehive Records on September 16, 1991.
