It is rumored that the show was recorded.

AMT #1

The venue recorded the show using a video camera set up toward the back of the room with a frontal view of the full band, according to the venue's doorman. He claims they did this with all shows of this era, but the recordings have never been copied.

The band played a short jam on Iggy Pop's "TV Eye".
"Lithium" deteriorated during the second chorus, so the band cut the song short.
"Been A Son" deteriorated into jamming toward the end of the song.
Krist jammed on the Melvins' "Eye Flys".
Krist briefly does vocals on "Spank Thru" when Kurt's guitar goes out.
Kurt only partially sings "Negative Creep", doing most of it without vocals.
