Notes
- The show was originally supposed to be at the Melkweg on 11/24/91, but had to be moved to a larger venue.
- Two songs, including "Come As You Are," were played at soundcheck, according to a Dutch article.
- During "Breed", Kurt knocked over the microphone stand and sang the last chorus on the floor.
- During "Come As You Are" (at the night show), the guitar and bass were horribly out of tune with each other, so Kurt decided to scream most of the song's lyrics.
- During "Love Buzz", Kurt shoved his guitar into one of the camera man's cameras.
