Take a look at the last Nirvana live concert footage before Kurt Cobain’s death

While Nirvana‘s Unplugged concert from November 18, 1993 is often believed to be the band’s final show, the legendary group played another month of American concert dates, and performed in Europe in February the following year. Nirvana’s last concert actually took place on March 1st, 1994 in Munich, Germany, at Terminal Einz, an airplane hanger that fit 3,050 people. The band had to deal with technical issues, restarting “Come as You Are” over again when the power went out, and Cobain was experiencing severe vocal issues.
