Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
Bleach Of The U4 is not a clone of "Out Of The Blue" or other discs, it's sourced from a mono FM radio broadcast and features the opening track "School" thats missing from "Out Of The Blue" and its clones

This show is the "Roma" of the Bleach era. You will not find a better sounding Bleach era show.

This is what bootleg recordings are all about... The show was recorded for radio in Austria, and the sound is perfect.

You can tell the band was having a good time at this show. The setlist was typical (except for the encore), however, the unique thing about the show is a drunk guy that screams at the band throughout their performance. You hear this guy with a German accent screaming "PLAY ABOUT F@@@ING GIRLS!!!!"... "TUNE YOUR F@@@ING GUITAR AND PLAY ABOUT F@@@ING GIRLS, MAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!"... Krist has a good time with him and yells back several times during the show and at one point sings some lines from The Who's "I'm a Boy" and dedicates it to the heckler. The entire show is wild and full of energy.

"Vendetagainst" is played as an encore, and is the best known recording of the song. You can hear some kind of sound repeating in the background when the band breaks between songs... I think it's soundclips of Arnold S... (the Terminator guy), there must be a reason, because the repeating sounds can be heard during other 1989 German shows.
There is some editing between tracks but nothing important or interesting is lost.
