AMT #1/2/3/4

The band's road manager worked his way through the audience and confiscated three or four video tapes during the show, according to Krist. (It is assumed that these video tapes are incomplete.)

  • Nirvana was the "secret" opening band, reportedly booked as Pen Cap Chew.
  • The band opened with "Aneurysm" and played an excellent show.
  • No hit songs were played during the hour-plus set, according to reviews.
  • At one point, Kurt asked if there were any requests, so Dave said, "play 'Teen Spirit, play 'Teen Spirit,'" in a funny voice. They did not play the song.
  • A fan in the crowd named Rob Kader requested "Big Long Now," just as he did on 06/10/89, but the band still refused to play it.
