Queens Of The Stone Age Foo Fighters Nirvana - Absolutely Live In Concert

Review by Himanshu Sachdeva

Absolutely Live In Concert: A Raw Dive into Rock’s Gritty Soul Released in 2003, Absolutely Live In Concert is a curious beast—a live compilation that stitches together performances from Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, and Nirvana. With its roots firmly planted in rock but branching out into punk and alternative styles, this album is less about polish and more about raw energy. Backed by Westwood One in the US, it captures moments that feel as alive as they are imperfect. The tracklist itself reads like a fever dream for any fan of these iconic bands. But two tracks stick with me long after the needle lifts: “No One Knows” by Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana's “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Let’s break ‘em down. “No One Knows,” sandwiched between other heavy hitters, feels like a gut punch. Josh Homme’s vocals swagger over relentless drumming, while the guitar riffs slice through the mix like a hot knife through butter. It’s one of those songs where you can almost hear the sweat dripping off the stage. What makes this version unforgettable isn’t just how tight the band sounds—it’s the way the crowd feeds off their energy. You don’t need to be there; you feel like you’re there. And ain’t that what live music should do? Then there’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which needs no introduction. But hearing it live on this record adds a layer of grit that studio versions lack. Kurt Cobain’s voice cracks under the weight of emotion, and Dave Grohl’s drumming hits harder than ever. Sure, we’ve all heard this song a thousand times before, but this take strips away the gloss and leaves behind something primal. If you didn’t know better, you’d think the roof was caving in during the chorus. Other highlights include Foo Fighters’ “Everlong,” which showcases Grohl’s vocal range without losing an ounce of power, and Nirvana’s haunting rendition of “Come As You Are.” The inclusion of oddball promos like “NFL Promo” and “Radio Shack” might seem jarring at first glance, but honestly? They add character. This ain’t some sterile playlist—it’s messy, chaotic, and real. What strikes me most about Absolutely Live In Concert is how unapologetically human it feels. Mistakes aren’t erased; instead, they become part of the charm. There’s no Auto-Tune here, no second takes—just musicians laying it all out on the line. It’s a reminder that rock isn’t supposed to be perfect. It’s meant to be loud, visceral, and occasionally uncomfortable. And maybe that’s why I keep coming back to this album. In a world obsessed with streaming algorithms and curated playlists, Absolutely Live In Concert feels refreshingly untamed. Listening to it is like flipping through an old photo album—you notice new details every time. Fun fact: did you catch the medley of “Stacked Actors/Crazy Train/Have A Cigar”? Talk about throwing everything but the kitchen sink into one track. It shouldn’t work, yet somehow it does. Kinda like this whole album. Go figure.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *Absolutely Live In Concert* is like a rock lover's dream mashup. It features live tracks from three iconic bands—Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, and Nirvana—all on one record. Released in 2003, it’s a wild mix of punk and alternative rock energy. You get Nirvana classics like *"Smells Like Teen Spirit"* and *"Come As You Are,"* Foo Fighters’ anthems like *"Everlong"* and *"Monkey Wrench,"* and Queens of the Stone Age bangers like *"No One Knows."* Oh, and there are even random promo tracks thrown in, like ads for Radio Shack and Geico. It’s like a time capsule of early 2000s rock radio chaos. Pretty wild, right?
