See Setlist From Dave Grohl & Friends' Nirvana Performance in LA!

When you're a band with a legacy as big as Nirvana, the opportunity to reunite must arise fairly frequently but to actually go through with the reunion, that's a cause for a very special occasion. Well, a special occasion occurred over the weekend (Saturday, January 4) as Nirvana reunited for the first time since Cal Jam '18 in San Bernardino, California. The special occasion? The Art of Elysium's "Heaven is Rock and Roll" gala at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California in support of connecting disadvantaged people (mostly children) with volunteering artists. This marks the fourth time Nirvana has reunited since 1994, crazy, right?

“We said we weren’t going to do this for another four or five years but we couldn’t resist the temptation,” - Krist Novoselic

The original remaining three members that includes Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, performed a five-song set for fans with some assistance from St. Vincent, Beck and even Grohl's 13-year-old daughter, Violet.

The setlist opened with the song "Lithium" which featured St. Vincent on both guitar and vocals while Beck played guitar. Switching things up for the second performance, "In Bloom" featured both Beck and St. Vincent on vocals and guitar with the band.

A night as epic as this is hard to make any more spectacular but adding Violet Grohl to the lineup really proved to be a stellar idea as The Guardian claims the 13-year-old artist stole the show, check out a performance of "Heart Shaped Box" with the Grohl's daughter on lead vocals below:
