Feels Like The First Time
Nirvana
Nirvana’s Feels Like the First Time is an unofficial live compilation that captures the band in the thick of their early‑1990s fame, drawing from broadcast performances around 1992–1993 rather than studio recordings. Issued on double vinyl and CD by a non-major label, it focuses on the raw, unvarnished sound of the group as a touring act, with the audio sourced from radio and TV appearances such as MTV sessions. The track list leans heavily on the Nevermind and In Utero eras, including songs like “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter,” “Drain You,” “Breed,” “Serve the Servants,” “Rape Me,” “Heart‑Shaped Box,” and “Pennyroyal Tea,” highlighting how the band reshaped their biggest songs on stage.
Rather than presenting a concept album or new material, Feels Like the First Time functions as an archival snapshot that emphasizes Nirvana’s live dynamics—quiet verses flaring into explosive choruses, ragged vocals, and a looseness that contrasts with the more polished studio productions. For many listeners and collectors, it serves as a document of the band’s late-period energy just before Kurt Cobain’s death, preserving the immediacy of performances that once aired as broadcasts and were later pressed into this semi‑bootleg style release.
