NBC's Saturday Night Live is kicking off its 50th anniversary weekend with the high bar-setting SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, streaming tonight on Peacock. As we wrote in our previous article on Eddie Vedder honoring some famous SNL faces who've passed over the years, there was a whole lot to love about the concert event – but this one might rank at the top of the list. Coming off an explosive performance during the FireAid benefit concert that saw St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl sing lead in honor of Kurt Cobain, the surviving members of Nirvana (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear) teamed with Post Malone on lead vocals to form Post Nirvana (as they were introduced by Adam Sandler) for a performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" – and the performance was electric!
