Nirvana:
4-17-87 Olympia, WA
Love Buzz/ Floyd The Barber/ Downer/ Mexican Seafood/ ???/ Spank Thru/ Suicide
Samurai/ Hairspray Queen/ Pen Cap Chew
Notes: Newly surfaced studio recording. A new, unknown song is played. The title was
originally thought to be "Adorn," but that is incorrect. The rare "Suicide Samurai"
is also played. The playing is pretty terrible, but hearing these different versions
is interesting.
1-23-88 Tacoma, WA
If You Must/ Downer/ Floyd The Barber/ Paper Cuts/ Spank Thru/ Hairspray
Queen/ Aero Zeppelin/ Beeswax/ Mexican Seafood/ Pen Cap Chew/ Suicide
Samurai/ Hairspray Queen/ ???/ Moby Dick (jam)
Notes: Having recently been moved to this date, this CD, while possessing totally
inferior sound quality, nonetheless highlights one of Nirvana's earliest performances.
The only known live recordings of "If You Must" and "Pen Cap Chew" exist here, as well
as two totally unknown songs whose working titles are "Anorexorcist" and "Raunchola".
The show is very rough, but worthwhile for collector's purposes.
6-11-88 Jack Endino Sessions
Noise Bleed/ Big Cheese/ Love Buzz/ The Landlord
Notes: Great quality......The Landlord is funny.
12-21-88 Hoaquim, WA
School/ Floyd The Barber/ Mr. Moustache/ Paper Cuts/ Mexican Seafood/ Spank
Thru/ Aero Zeppelin/ Love Buzz
Notes: Another extremely rough show, this one features the only known cover by
Nirvana of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" as well as a cover of the song
"Run Rabbit Run" by Finnish band Smack. One most fully appreciates this
show in audiovisual form, where Krist plays in his underwear, to an
audience that appears to be under 50 people or so...
7-12-89 Philadelphia, PA
School/ Floyd The Barber/ Love Buzz/ Scoff/ About A Girl/ Spank Thru/ Paper
Cuts/ Mr. Moustache/ Big Cheese/ Polly/ Sifting/ Blandest/ Dive/ Negative
Creep/ Blew
Notes: While the video is not bad, not much can be said for this decently recorded
early show. It is hard to discern if it is a good performance or not, as the quality
makes prolonged listening prohibitive. The highlight is the only known performance
of the Bleach b-side "Blandest"
7-18-89 New York, NY
School/ Floyd The Barber/ Love Buzz/ Dive/ Blew
Notes: A rollicking set, the last with second guitarist Jason Everman. A drunk gets
on stage during School, managing to yell "fucking shit" before being thrown off by
Everman, who, in classic macho-dude style, proceeds to go down after him. Kurt
also makes some different lyrical arrangements on Dive.
9-9-89 Chicago, IL
School/ Scoff/ Love Buzz/ Floyd The Barber/ Dive/ Polly/ Big Cheese/ Spank Thru

Notes: A 60 minute complete version of this show is supposedly floating around.

Notes: Some of these songs are on Bleach.

11-26-89 Mezzago, Italy
?????/ ?????/ High On The Hog/ School/ Love Buzz/ Big Cheese
Notes: One unknown track, as well as Tad's "High On the Hog" are played.
The CD, contains the interesting rendition of "Dazed and Confused", brought on
by a problem with Channing's drum kit.

Great rendition of Here She Comes Now. All known copies missing Blew.

Love Buzz/ Floyd The Barber/ Scoff/ Dive/ About A Girl/ Spank Thru/
Breed/ In Bloom/ School/ Been A Son/ Negative Creep/ Blew/ In Bloom
(soundcheck)/ Floyd The Barber (soundcheck)/ In His Hands (soundcheck)
Notes: The best part of this show is the soundcheck, which features the rare
"In His Hands". The rest of the show is excellent, too, especially the pricless
opener: "We're Nirvana, and we really don't particularly like heavy metal" Don't miss it.
10-11-90 Olympia, WA
Son Of A Gun/ Molly's Lips/ About A Girl/ Spank Thru/ School/ Pay To Play

Notes: Daves first show......the show seems like one long song as the
band takes little time to rest between songs

"Donuts" does not reappear again until 11/13/93.

Notes: A great show, featuring Here She Comes Now, a weird version of Aneurysm,
D-7, and "In His Hands". The band is sloppy, but this is overall a great show.
Apparently an encore was played that is not on any circulating copies.
All copies are missing "Dive".

School/ Floyd The Barber/ Drain You/ Smells Like Teen Spirit/ Come As You Are
Breed/ Sliver/ Molly's Lips/ Love Buzz/ Negative Creep/ The End (part of)

Notes: A great set, featuring a duet with former Vaselines/current Eugenius lead
singer Eugene Kelly on his "Molly's Lips." The band also launches into an uncommon
performance of the Doors' "The End"
8-24-91 Koln, Germany
Polly/ Drain You/ Floyd The Barber/ Sliver/ School/ Breed/ Smells Like

9-1-91 Rotterdam, Netherlands
Polly/ Drain You/ School/ Floyd The Barber/ Smells Like Teen Spirit/ Come
As You Are/ About A Girl/ Breed/ Sliver/ In Bloom/ Been A Son/ Negative Creep
Notes: Starts off with a harrowing acoustic Polly, but degenerates quickly. The
band is totally drunk by the end of the set, which exacerbates their already
excessive equipment smashing at the end. Their drunkenness, coupled with equipment
trouble and frequent re-starting, makes this one not one of their best!

of seeing Nirvana play the most corporate of environs.

Teen Spirit/ Breed/ Polly/ Spank Thru/ Sliver/ Blew/ Been A Son/ Negative

Notes: Superlative gig. Kurt ends up having to play a mostly instrumental Blew due,
presumably, to an equipment problem. The band also launches into Jesus Wants
Me For A Sunbeam, D-7, and Here She Comes Now. Possibly the best show the band ever
played. Not to be missed. From CD.

Notes: A fabulous gig. The source of the Pennyroyal Tea contained on the
"Outcesticide II" disc, this entire show is a must-have. Great performance,
great commentary, great sound. Kurt's voice, other than on Pennyroyal Tea,
is perhaps the best I've heard it on any gig. The disc also includes several
rare bonus tracks.

That action doesn't stop this from being a great, great show. Features
Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam and an early Pennyroyal Tea. Formaldehyde is
also played.

playing is superb. Kurt’s opening "Keep your fucking laws off my sister's
body" sets the tone for the evening.

Notes: A great show. The band is in top form, and the rain doesn't stop them a bit.
Kurt's voice is especially good, which makes the early version of Rape Me,
as well as Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam, especially enjoyable. Another of their best.

numbers of the era.
11-25-91 Amsterdam, Holland
Lithium/ Breed/ Polly/ Smells Like Teen Spirit/ Love Buzz/ Territorial Pissings
Notes: A powerful performance. Kurt's vocals go out on Come As You Are, so he just
screams the whole thing. Chaos abounds onstage.

the most common of all Nirvana live shows.

Notes: The return of Nirvana. After several bad months, plagued by rumors and
problems, Kurt proves he is still on top of things. The crystal-clear CD
versions omit some of the best parts, such as the band's segue into Boston's
"More Than A Feeling", or yet another version of "Money Will Roll Right In"
It includes Breed, with Mudhoney's "The Rose" as an intro, as well as an alternate
lyrics version of All Apologies. At least here, Kurt shows that suicide is not the
answer.

Notes: Well-mixed DAT soundboard with somewhat low volume level.
Features ultra-rare live performance of Beeswax. Having booed opener
Calamity Jane, the crowd is faced with a very hostile band. A short
teaser of "Teen Spirit" is played frequently. The show is fairly
interesting, if only because the band really doesn't care what they
do.

Lounge Act/ Aneurysm/ Territorial Pissings
Notes: One of the band's all-time weirdest performances. Lyrical and musical
arrangements are thrown to the wind as the band jams mightily on anything and everything.
The band goes for Iron Butterfly-style appeal with a 17+ minute version of Scentless
Apprentice. Heart-Shaped Box is debuted here, as well as a version of Polly that includes
several humorous plugs for Hollywood Rock Cigarettes, the show's sponsor. This is a show
unique in all respects. It is not to be missed....

Notes: When Kurt strikes the opening chords of "Rape Me", he expresses the anger of
the oppressed Bosnians like no author before or since. The band is in absolutely
perfect form as they rollick through much of their new album. Probally one of the
best shows in 1993.

Notes: Although hampered by an excessively rude crowd near the recording mics, the
great performance here shines through. The band plays more of its new album, and
debuts its new acoustic format for some songs, which is not well received by some
of the audience. Kurt does pretty well considering he OD'd before the show, relying on
Courtney to revive him.

Notes: The band debuts one of Kurt's finest, as well as what is probably his final, work.
The poignantly sad song of love (about C.Love) reminds every skeptic of Kurt's masterful
artistry. Every chord sheds another tear as the song builds slowly to an anticlimax of
"hey yeah yeah yeah hey yeah yeah yeah...you know you're right" followed by a classic Cobain
guitar solo. This song alone is proof of the positive, more mellow direction Kurt planned to
take the band into before his death. Although overshadowed by this gem, the rest of the show
sees the band in good form.

jams on the Led Zeppelin riff of "Heartbreaker."
