I'm pretty sure they are not trying to play Nirvana songs, most info I read on it was that Dave asked Paul to jam with them and they made some songs to play for the benefit.

the broadcast is on in the background while i edit Grateful Dead concert discs. no Paul 'n' Grohl yet. things have been pretty bland so far. Bon Jovi didn't suck, the Stones fell flat--it was a mistake to open with "You Got Me Rockin'" and their tempos dragged--but they were real at least rather than the all-too-perfect Clapton tunes or Alicia Keys, who was unbearable. so far The Who--or as we call then on the GD board, "The Two"--seem to be the hit of the night so far, with the inevitable "Who Are You" followed by "Bell Boy" (!).

Daltrey's vox on the "see me, feel me" made the hair on the backs of my arms stand up.

The McCartney/Nirvana performance was actually pretty badass.

Yeah it was a lot better than I expected, McCartneys voice is holding up a lot better than i've previously seen him on shows recently.

I'll be damned. That was actually pretty cool

Sounds almost like a Them Crooked Vultures track with the slide-y cigar box dobro thing.
