The remarkable footage is almost 30 years old...
It was previously thought that only snippets of footage existed, but somebody has magicked up the whole of Nirvana's January 24, 1988 video shoot at their local RadioShack in Aberdeen, WA.
"Here's a brief history lesson," says the superfan, Mark Ziegler, who's posted it. "The day before, on January 23rd, 1988, Nirvana (Ted Ed Fred at the time) recorded their first proper studio demo with Jack Endino at Reciprocal Recording Studios in Seattle. The demo and this video feature Dale Crover of Melvins fame on drums. Following the studio session on the 23rd, later that evening they played a live show at the Community World Theater in Tacoma. If you pay close attention to this video, you can see footage of that show on the TV screens in the background. So fast forward to the next day and here are Nirvana at RadioShack making a music video of sorts. The music that is being lip synced was the demo made the day before with 'live' drums."
