Nirvana played a private show for family and friends at a small New York bar following their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on Thursday, and video from the event has surfaced.
The New York Post reports the surprise concert took place at Saint Vitus, a tiny bar and music venue in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn before an invite-only crowd of about 250.
The show started at 2 a.m., with Rock Hall performers Joan Jett, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) and Annie Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent) joining Nirvana; other guests included Deer Tick’s John McCauley and J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.
Each of the singers performed a few tunes, ending with Gordon; guitarist Pat Smear smashed his guitar following “Negative Creep” before being told by a roadie that they had one more song left to do.
