    Camera audio was replaced with circulating AUD1.
    This show took place one day after Reading 1991 (8/23/91) and ~a month before the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind" album (released Sept 24, 1991).
    More Notes form Part from Nirvanaguide.com:
    --
    The headlining bands cut their sets short so Nirvana, who missed their performance slot after supposedly getting caught in traffic and/or at customs, could squeeze in a 30-minute set. However, according to the band's former agent, the band intentionally showed up late so they wouldn't have to play so early in the day.
    Nirvana played using Rausch's equipment, resulting in Kurt and Krist playing on the opposite sides of the stage as usual.
    Compiled by Copperpot5 I'm always looking for uncirculated Nirvana Video/Audio. If you taped Nirvana back in the day or happen to have any uncirculated Nirvana media please shoot me a message or email. Thx! Email: Jaycopperpot at gmail dot com)

      Well about two months after nevermind Kurt got into heroin, and trust me I’ve seen it heroin does nothing but take. You can’t feel happy because the best things in life feel like nothing compared to the pen, you can’t focus because you can’t get your mind off the next time you can get even a hint.

      Amen Jason!! Strip away all the distortion and drums and you have expertly crafted songs. His ultimate strength was songwriting. It’s one thing to play heavy and aggressive but it’s another to do that with great melody. Then add the heaviness on top of what he wrote and you have a nut punch you never get up from.

As you can see, the band completely won over the crowd within 10 minutes of playing.

      devoiddude he is just an outstanding musician across the board. He gives off a very humble vibe as well. It sounds crazy, their music has saved my life during some really really gnarly shit that went on for years and years. Nirvana pulled me out of that he'll eventually and I'm so grateful to all of them. It sounds crazy but I feel like I actually know them on a personal level. I feel in my heart that Courtney tried to have him killed, but he is very intuitive and was one step ahead of her. He didn't want to die, he loved his baby girl So much. He didn't want to die that evil bitch hired a hit man and decided to overdose than feel the pain of murder.

      p0llenp0ny No, people need to learn to respect him and his family. Put these conspiracy theories to rest, people just don't want to accept the fact that he died.

      Kurt's own family members, namely his grandfather Leland have said they suspect he was murdered. should he start respecting his family too?

    Realmente espectacular en vivo Nirvana; aquellos que lo vieron tocar en sus inicios, gozaron de la energia y vitalidad de Kurt, Dave y Krist. Que genios.

    Please upvote this post: EVERY CAMERAMAN IN THE WORLD should take note of this: the BEST camerawork I have ever seen for any rock band, EVER, is the way this video was shot. The camera is STATIONARY and pointed at Kurt (e.g. the 20:00 mark). 1.) Point the camera at the star 2.) Leave the camera ALONE! That's it! I believe fans love this, to just watch and stare at the star. Nowadays, all this "fancy" camera work (like changing the camera angle with each drum beat) is irritating to no end. The old style "point the camera and leave it alone" ROCKS!
