AUD #4

It is rumored that the show was recorded. (unknown > Sony WM-D3)

When Nirvana came out Kurt had a big bowl of fruit salad from backstage. He turned it over to throw into the audience before the band started playing.
After "Polly," Kurt started spitting water onto the audience.
During "On A Plain," Kurt stopped playing, jumped into the crowd, and pulled two guys up to dance on top of the amplifiers. The band then played the whole song from the start.
During "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," Krist played the drums and Dave played bass while lying down on the stage. Then Eric Erlandson from Hole ran out and tackled Kurt, prompting Kurt to throw his guitar, at which point Dave got up from the stage floor.
After "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," Krist took off his shirt, pants, and boxers before quickly putting his pants and boxers back on before "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam".
During the end-of-show destruction, Kurt and Krist repeatedly smashed their guitars together, with the final impact shattering Krist's bass and sending chunks of wood into the crowd. A fan in the front of the audience was hit in the face by one of these chunks, knocking out a tooth and causing him to bleed profusely and later go into shock and convulse uncontrollably.
During the ending of the end-of-show destruction, Krist went back onto the drums.
