SBD #1

It is rumored that the show was recorded.

This was the first show with Dave Grohl on drums.
The power went out multiple times toward the beginning of the show, causing the band to stop playing in the middle of "Molly's Lips" and "D-7," without finishing either song. It also caused them to stop in the middle of "Blew," but they finished the song when the power came back on.
