Live Music on the Television

From the 1960s on Monday to the 1990s today, here's an awesome performance of "Lithium" by Nirvana.  Of course, if you pay attention at the beginning of the song, Nirvana seemed to throw MTV for a loop by starting to perform "Rape Me."  Quickly, though, the band went to its originally planned song and gave a great show.  

This particular performance may be best remembered not for the song itself but for what happens to bassist Krist Novoselic towards the end it.  Additionally, Dave Grohl has some humorous words for the frontman of Guns N Roses as the destruction of the stage continues behind him.

It remains a reminder of the "anything can happen" vibe that live television coupled with live music can provide.
