AUD #1

It is rumored that the show was recorded.

AMT #1

A local DJ from the radio station that owns the soundboard audio claims to have video taped part of the show. (It is assumed that the video tape is incomplete.)

The band opened with an unknown song that may be a cover or a original song. After the concert Dave did an interview and it was published together with a similar setlist that Nirvana played the night before. In the article the unknown song is mentioned as "Nobody Knows That I'm New Wave", it can be a title that Dave gave during the interview. Mark Arm of Mudhoney was also photographed in late 1992 using a T-shirt with the same title.
They played the intro to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" twice just to tease the disrespectful, male-dominated crowd.
For the first verse of "Come As You Are", Kurt just said "hey" over and over instead of singing the words.
During "Polly", Dave played a toy drum kit.
After "Polly", a fairly long, bass-driven jam was played.
