Right, Sky Arts 1 has it from 10:00 to midnight, 2 hours
then Sky Arts 2 has it from midnight to 2:30 am.
And Virgin (tivo) hasn't updated it yet...

Good spot, hadn't spotted the second half on Sky Arts 2, will set that to record immediately.
― Rob M Revisited, Thursday, 13 December 2012 10:09 (eleven years ago) link
It was about 6 hours total, so keep an eye out for a third channel airing it.
The channel I was watching it on last night bailed out about 5 minutes before McCartney played to show WWE and I had to frantically search for an online stream of the rest of it.

I guess there's a fair bit of 'snipping out' gaps between performances.

Courtney Love On Paul McCartney & Nirvana Performing Together: 'Not Amused' Posted: 12/12/2012 7:29 pm EST | Updated: 12/12/2012 7:45 pm EST When Nirvana reunites tonight in NYC -- with Sir Paul McCartney replacing Kurt Cobain on vocals -- Courtney Love won't be cheering ... she'll be yelling obscenities, because she's pissed about the gig.Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic are playing at the 12-12-12 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden -- their first show together in 20 years -- but Cobain's widow tells TMZ she is "not amused" about Paul's involvement.Courtney is clearly more of a Lennon fan, than McCartney because she added ... "Look, if John were alive it would be cool."Love is also upset at Krist and Dave for calling tonight's show a Nirvana reunion because she says Kurt was the heart and soul of the legendary band.For the record ... Sir Paul and the guys will be playing a brand new song they wrote together. It's unclear if they will cover classic Nirvana songs.

still hoping that nirvana's rock'n'roll hall of fame induction will feature the sole performance of love/novoselic/grohl

The 12.12.12 show was playing on MTV on Sky as we were channel hopping earlier - Michael Stipe and Chris Martin doing "Losing my religion".

I was completely unaware of this show til Ira mentioned it onstage at YLT last night... Thought the Paul thing was a joke.

courtney has a point, as she often does.
Kurt was the soul of Nirvana.
that@said, it was awes
― Mark G, Thursday, 13 December 2012 18:08 (eleven years ago) link
Fuck, if that song last night is what Nickelback sounds like now, maybe I need to quit ignoring them.

there was a recent Seattle doc that laid into the 'new fake grunge' bands, that basically said "You hate Nickelback? You ever seen 'em live? Do so, then report back / decide"
(me? Don't hate 'em, don't need 'em)
― Mark G, Thursday, 13 December 2012 18:12 (eleven years ago) link
Paul has often written 'Rock' songs, but he's never had a 'rock' band doing them ..

(I exclude 'Helter Skelter' and the Let It Be album, obv)

I've seen Nickelback live. They were terrible.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 19:16 (eleven years ago) link
I'll always remember Nickelback not for their songs, but the way a Portuguese audience once made their feelings towards them known...

I was there when the shit hit the fan at Nickelback.
― how's life, Thursday, 13 December 2012 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
Anyway, as a person both partial to Paul McCartney AND Nirvana, I quite enjoyed the performance. I'm also enjoying the fact that it seems to have wound a fair few people up.
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Thursday, 13 December 2012 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
I saw it all go down.

doing a new song seems like a smart idea -- I mean, by and large most musicians would rather play something new than a song they played a hundred times, also lots of emotion with a reunion minus kurt makes it just weird to have a guest singer on a 'beloved' track...and the way they all play together automatically sounds like nirvana by default because that's the muscle they're using...it was a great tribute, in my opinion. And it still left that space where Cobain was relatively untouched.
idk, all I know is it felt p rockin to me

lol why did those portugese ppl go to the nickelback concert if they hated them?
― sadkdsajkldaskjdsajklasdkl (Pat Finn), Thursday, 13 December 2012 19:47 (eleven years ago) link
They were probably the opener for someone else.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 13 December 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
i guess that must be the case. they seem like too popular a band to be the opener, but maybe that video was from a long time ago.

I'm sure Dead Kurt genuinely appreciates the absurdity of being replaced with a Beatle playing electric slide ukelele, but the song was shitty old man Casino-circuit bar band dreck. The whole point of Nirvana was to ridicule any and all bands that sang songs with lyrics like "whoaaaa yeah mama, set me free, come on now!"
But whatever, it was the perfect Nirvana reunion for Pearl Jam fans, and at the very least it annoyed Courtney, which is always a good thing.

That explains why Kurt was such an unabashed Led Zeppelin fan, and had Meet The Beatles! and Get The Knack in his top 50 albums list.
