“We’re pretty exhausted,” said Kurt Cobain 30 years ago at his last appearance in Munich. And then he announced that his band might not be around much longer. “The Nirvana concert at the old Riem Airport was a disaster,” remembers Alex Schütz, who was among the concertgoers on March 1, 1994. “The acoustics were bad, the motivation was bad, and the stage show was out of the question. You really didn’t miss anything if you weren’t there.” Schütz wrote in the Central Bavarian newspaper a review of this concert: “Frank Zappa was right when he called Nirvana a third-rate band.” He put this quote at the end of his criticism of an event that should nevertheless go down in history. Because it was the last ever appearance of the globally revered grunge band Nirvana. A month later, their leader and singer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in his home in Seattle.
