Nirvana’s surviving members Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and touring guitarist Pat Smear reunited at the FireAid Benefit Concert at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on Thursday, Jan. 30. Completely unannounced, Nirvana took to the stage at 10.30 p.m. in the penultimate slot of the night and tore through a four-song set with four female guest vocalists. St. Vincent took on vocal and guitar duties on Nevermind track Breed, before Sonic Youth legend Kim Gordon fronted the band for early Nirvana classic School. Rock icon Joan Jett then joined Nirvana to tear through the gloriously heavy Territorial Pissings. The show ended with his daughter Violet Grohl singing on an Unplugged version of All Apologies.
