Hi, my name's Dave Grohl, and I feel, um, I feel good about being Conan's friend.

That feels like a qualified good.

Yeah, I'm still unsure.

Hello, I'm Chris Noviselich and I feel jazzy about being Conan O'Brien's friend.

Yes, see?

No pause, no anxiety, just joy sir my name is Steve albini and I feel anxiety about

being Conan O'Brien's friend you You can feel that it's palpable.

And not uncommon, I'm sure. back to school ring the bell brand new shoes walking blues climb the fence

Hey, welcome to Conan O'Brien needs a friend.

Of course, usually there's a lot of nonsensical bibble babble at the top of the

podcast today there really isn't time for that this is a very special episode

recently I had this very cool opportunity to fly to Chicago and sit down and

chat with Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Chris Novicellich, along with producer audio audio engineer Steve Albini, so that we could talk about

the making of the classic album in utero, which came out 30 years ago in September 1993.

I remember this time very well because I was launching my late night show and the in-utero music was really the soundtrack to that crazy time in my life. So really cool that my guest today sat with me and we

chatted about this very important record. We covered a lot of ground including what it was like to

deal with the pressures of suddenly being the number one rock band in the world,

some memories of their friend and bandmate nirvana's creative leader Kurt Cobain. So let's listen in.
