Watch Nirvana Perform Alongside St. Vincent, Lorde, Kim Gordon And Joan Jett

Last night’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame took place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear reuniting to play Nirvana songs for the first time in 22 years, alongside special guests.

The band ran through four different line-ups, being fronted by St. Vincent’s Annie Clark, Lorde, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, and Joan Jett.

Joan Jett began by singing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Kim Gordon took to the stage for ‘Aneurysm’, while St. Vincent performed ‘Lithium’ (as she earlier this week - only this time it was the real deal). The final performance was fronted by Lorde, who sang ‘All Apologies’.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is set to air on HBO in the US on 31st May but you can watch clips from all four performances on the night, below, all ranging in video quality.
