Today is the date of one of my favorite Nirvana performances.  It was at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards

This performance is the one where Kurt teases the song,"Rape Me" before playing "Lithium".  It is also where Krist Novaselic tosses his bass in the air nearly knocking himself out.  The other memorable part of the performance, is the end of the song where Dave Grohl was saying hi to Axl Rose (who was in the crowd).

Nirvana have had many classic performances but this is one I'll always remember.  If only MTV could have performances or memorable award shows like this now.
