Live Nirvana Bootography Rating: B

Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
This disc does not contain the clearest versions of these recordings. These demos are definitely "in the raw" - not remastered at all. They sound like they came straight from the tape to CD (maybe a few tape generations in between), static and all. The major find on this disc would be the "Cracker, Seed, Sad" that includes the intro to Misery Loves Company.... this intro can only be found on this disc as well as "Live at the Hollywood Rock Festival" .

This CD is put together in typical Swindle form. Quite a few mislabels and lousy artwork... If you look at the back of the inlay you will notice that the picture is a reverse image of a promo band shot. They might have gotten away with it, but you can see the backwards Sonic Youth logo on Krist's shirt. The live photo from the inside cover was taken at the 02/22/94 show. Strange they didn't use this shot for their Coma bootleg....

Mislabels:
"Mexican Seafood" Labeled As "Hairspray Queen"
"Seed" Labeled As "Molly's Lips"
"Sappy" Labeled As "Happy Hour"
"Sappy" Labeled As "Happy Hour"
"I Hate Myself And Want To Die" Labeled As "Oh, The Guilt"
"Turnaround" Labeled As "Talkin'"
"Downer" Labeled As "Down In The dark"
