Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
This is a good show with excellent sound for it's date. The disc was actually mastered from a vinyl source (a record) and contains pops and crackles throughout. Don't let the vinyl source thing scare you... it's still one of the better sounding shows from this time period. If noise reduction was used, it wasn't heavy-handed , I only noticed possible artefacts on the recording from "Breed" onwards, and I wasn't sure about those.

The band sounds good and Krist makes a joke about the beer being served in Dixie cups. There is very little talk and there are no rarities played. While the disc is solid in all aspects, there is nothing spectacular that makes it truly stand out. All CD's of this date are missing "School"
Tracks 14-15 are live B-sides from Portland 02/09/90, 16 is ripped from the "Come As You Are" Single, 17 - 22 are pulled straight off "Hormoaning" (This disc pre-dates Incesticide). If i had the choice, I'd pick "Louder"/"Pissing In Action" over this disc as it has better filler but you won't go far wrong with this.
