In this episode on Seeing Them Live, Charles shares one of his ticket stub stories taken from the pages of his book, Ticket Stub Stories: \u200aA Memoir of Live Music\u2019. This story details his experience at a Nirvana concert in October 1993. Charles recounts the second show of a Nirvana concert he attended where the band, upset by a critical review in the Chicago Tribune, did not perform their hit ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit.’ Discover how Kurt Cobain’s frustration led to a memorable, albeit puzzling, night for fans, and learn how an intriguing interview with the Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, may have subtly influenced Kurt Cobain’s behavior and actions at the concert.<\/p>\n
