A recording of Shonen Knife set is circulating, so it's possible that Nirvana's set was recorded as well.
Notes
- The show opened with Kurt on drums, Krist on bass, and Dave on vocals and guitar for an unknown song that was very similar to the instrumental demo reportedly recorded with the "Drain You" demo in April 1991.
- After one verse and one chorus of "Polly", Kurt went into "(New Wave) Polly", which the band played in its entirety.
- During the encore, Kurt switched to bass and Krist switched to guitar for the jam and unknown song.
- The last unknown song was also performed at the 11/25/91 radio session.
