Followers within the Intuit Dome questioning what hit them could have belatedly realized they had been witnessing the closest factor to a Nirvana reunion we’ll get: The band’s three surviving members — Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl and Pat Smear — blazing via bruising variations of “Keep Away” with St. Vincent on vocals, “Faculty” with longtime good friend and patron Kim Gordon and “Territorial Pissings” with Joan Jett, all filling the lead vocal slot vacated by Kurt Cobain’s demise virtually 31 years in the past. Every singer introduced the total gravel out of their voices whereas channeling Cobain, however St. Vincent specifically confirmed a uncommon ferocity. 

For the ultimate observe, Grohl’s daughter Violet took the mic for a way more chill music — a model of “All Apologies,” the gorgeous lament that closes the band’s third and ultimate studio album, “In Utero.” 

In some ways it was a kind of household reunion — Gordon and her former band, Sonic Youth, performed an enormous function in Nirvana’s rise, bringing them on tour and paving the best way for the report deal that led them to superstardom — and for longtime followers, the sight of Novoselic, Grohl and Smear taking part in these songs once more was deeply emotional. 

The set was really a reprise of the four-song showcase that the surviving members — and many of the above singers — performed on the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame in 2014, though Lorde carried out there as a substitute of Violet Grohl. After that night’s lengthy ceremony (ended after 1 a.m.), pals and associates of the band decamped for an ultra-late blast via much more songs from the Nirvana canon that includes the entire night’s singers.
