Notes & circulating recordings

11/27/91 - BBC Studios (Top Of The Pops), London, United Kingdom
Set
Smells Like Teen Spirit

Notes
The band was asked to lip-sync and play over the prerecorded song, which they protested. Then they reached an agreement in which Kurt could at least sing over the prerecorded music.
Kurt sang all of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in gothic style vocals.
The band made it visually obvious that they were not playing their instruments.
