      It's well teen angst but also ace in your face.

    One of his last performances I think, a very sad listen with this in mind. Cracking version of 'Rooster'.

The version of Just Like Heaven is especially good.

    I've only really seen it on replays on mtv or via grainy youtube footage.

I've got a recollection of Bjork doing one, and it being really brilliant

But I can find no evidence of it ever existing and may have imagined it.

Black Crowes and Alice In Chains were both very impressive.

Bob Dylan

May depend on whether or not you enjoy modern-day-croaky-Dylan. I do, so I think it's ace.

Nirvana's was great

The obvious choice but it really was. Everyone else did a greatest hits, they got the frickin Meat Puppets on stage and did Bowie and Leadbelly covers. Made it a record in its own right.

I also liked Alice In Chains. When Layne takes his sunglasses off you can see how battered he is, white as a sheet and eyes that look straight through you. Still absolutely belts out songs like "Would" though. Nutshell is a brilliant opener.

Nirvana is the one, but I always liked

10,000 Maniacs as well. Not heard it for ages so not sure if it stands the test of time. What's The Matter Here is still a great song though
