Watch Remaining Nirvana Members Perform “Lithium” with St. Vincent

Last month, Nirvana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio with all of its original members. The official Induction Ceremony included a series of notable musicians filling in for Kurt Cobain such as Joan Jett, St. Vincent, Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis, and Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon. This Saturday, May 31, HBO will show the ceremony in full at 8PM EST.

As a teaser, they have released a short clip of the remaining Nirvana members performing “Lithium” with St. Vincent. We’ve heard her cover the song before, and thanks to a dozen or so Instagrams and Vines audience members filmed at the ceremony we’ve seen this specific version as well. With HD cameras, though, it’s now all the more evident just how on point they sounded. Of course they cut it just as Dave Grohl smashes into his kit, too.
