VINirvana – “Lithium” Live at Paramount (1991)
@kurtcobain
Shot Halloween night, October 31, 1991—just weeks after Nevermind dropped—this is Nirvana playing “Lithium” at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. It’s the only Nirvana concert ever filmed entirely on 16mm, giving it that raw, cinematic edge.
“Lithium” channels a character losing control while clinging to faith—Kurt’s vocal shifts from calm to chaos in seconds. No fancy improv here, just a locked-in performance. The whole band’s tight, Grohl’s drumming is sharp, and Cobain’s rasp cuts right through.
Fun fact: Krist played this show in a nun’s outfit. Halloween 1991.
