Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
This is the same release as Heaven Can Wait (The matrix is even identical). While the two discs are released on different labels, the same people are behind them both. This frequently occurs with bootleg labels. Below is the review of Heaven Can Wait:

Great show with Chad on the drums. A early blistering performance of Breed is the highlight for me, but the Molly'sLips and Stain are really good too. This is a average audience recording and between songs you can hear the crowd yelling requests... once the band fires up it drowns them all out.
The early days and small clubs... This is what it was all about - having fun and screwing around with the crowd... "I want you all to Pogo to this one" . The bonus tracks (Ripped From "Nevermind It's An Interview") aren't that great because Aneurysm & School are incomplete!

The Alternative CD & Vinyl Collectors Guide mistakenly states that this disc is defective. This disc does not contain "CD Rot" nor does it contain "clicks" during the show. It is assumed (though the Bootography does not have the CD) that Life's Like Pit-Bulls On Crack is the defective title for this performance.

The Raji's Burning down, is a very good show. The audience is very receptive and the band gets a good applause after every song. The band gives 100 percent and they sound as if they were having a great time. Chad even does a drum solo after one of the tracks. If you don't have a copy of this disc, then I highly suggest you get one... Especially if you like Bleach shows. This is an excellent performance from early Nirvana.
