Later that night, they played an extended set at the tiny Brooklyn club St. Vitus.
They last took the stage together in 2018 at Cal Jam in San Bernardino, California.
Nearly every time theyve played since Cobains death, a female singer was brought in to sing his words.

The idea came to them early in their rehearsals for the Hall of Fame in 2014.
It also added a whole other dimension to the show.
It added substance and depth, so it didnt turn into a eulogy.
It was more about the future.
The first time we played together, it was like seeing a ghost, Grohl said.
The second time, it was a little more reserved.
And the last time we played it was like that fucking Demi Moore/Patrick Swayze pottery wheel scene fromGhost.
We usually got the song by the third take.
It started to sound like Nirvana.
There were jaws on the floor.
At the time, they had no idea if theyd ever play together again.
And I have some commitments.
But you never say never now.
I sure wont say no.
Maybe we can even do some new music one day.
