After Nirvana were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 the remaining members of the band, drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic and guitarist Pat Smear performed a 16 song set at the small Brooklyn bar, St. Vitus. They did this with various guest singers including Joan Jett, St. Vincent, J. Masics of Disosaur Jr., John McCauley of Deer Tick and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. It turns out they put up some cameras and taped the whole thing.
Dave Grohl told Rolling Stone:
“When we realized that we were going to do it, I just called the people from my production company and said, “We need to film this,” and we loaded some cameras in there and and shot it without knowing what would ever come of it. But it would be a shame for that evening to be only a memory and and we’ve got it. And it was fucking great. It was cathartic and everybody involved, I think, understood that they were part of something like a dream.. I remember playing and looking and seeing Carrie Brownstein in the front row in the pit singing along to every song and, you know, getting to play drums behind Joan Jett or, god, playing “School” or fucking “Pennyroyal Tea” with J Mascis. It really was amazing. It was something else. Someday, I’m sure everybody’ll see it.”
