Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
This is the best version of this show. Sadly, it has been edited between a few of the songs to remove DJ talk. It is a average "Nevermind" era show. The highlights are a very early "Rape Me" and a nice "Spank Thru" which was beginning to become phased out of the newer Nirvana set lists.

This is a fairly common show that is available on different discs, so every collector should be able to pick it up. This disc contains pictures from the actual show (few bootlegs do this). Curiously, Insect got the names right on the back of the inlay, but got Krist and Dave mixed up inside of the cover. The artwork, while not spectacular, is above average and has an attractive layout.

"Spank Thru" is edited! The second chorus edits into the last chorus, bypassing a full chorus and the guitar solo.

Ironically, the complete performance of "Spank Thru" was the only cut from this
show to appear on the official live album.

There are also questionable edits, dropouts and "warbling" on this disc and the sound
is pretty flat.

There is also a CD version of this release
