It is rumored that the show was recorded.

  • According to a newspaper review, Nirvana played for a crowd of about 5400.
  • After "Blew", the band played what seems to be the same jam that was played at the end of the 11/07/93 show.
  • Everett True came onstage to do vocals and play guitar on "Do Nuts."
  • At the end of the show, Kurt started repeatedly throwing his guitar(s) at the disco ball over the stage. He came close to getting hit by the falling guitar many times. He never did hit the disco ball. Krist finally grabbed Kurt and carried him off.
