Last Live Performances Nirvana Song Chronology Last Performances List Edition #1 The List Was Compiled By Leo P. Cailleteau, III I Would Appreciate All Changes. Last Update 3/21/1996 dadson@neosoft.com Note #1 - What Is The Purpose Of The List? The List Features The Last Recorded Version Of Virtually All Of The Songs Performed By Nirvana Between 1987 And 1994. There Are Probably Many Undocumented Recorded Shows Which Have Not Surfaced Or Are Uncirculated, Which Is Why I Need Your Help Maintaining The List. I Would Appreciate Information About Undocumented And Uncirculated Shows With Last Performance Songs Plus Information About Songs Which Are Listed With Incorrect Dates. With Your Help, The List Will Be Very Accurate. The List Is For All Of The Nirvana Fans In The World, But I Ask One Thing, Do Not Claim The List As Your Own Work. The List Begins With The 12/14/1987 Show And Ends With The 3/1/1994 (Partially Surfaced) Show. Note #2 - What Is Live? What Isn't Live The List Was Compiled Based On Live Performances With A Real Audience In A Concert Situation. I Did Not Include Radio Performances Or Television Broadcasts, With The Exception Of MTV Unplugged. What Do All Of These Decisions Mean? It Means Opinion Was Not Played Live, And The 11/24/1991 VPRO Session Was Not The Not The Last Performance Of Here She Comes Now. Note #3 - Which Way Do You Determine The Last Performance? When A Song Was Last Played In Full By Nirvana, The Date Of The Final Performance Of The Full Version Is Listed. For Example, During The 12/2/1989, The Band Plays The Intro From Dazed And Confused By Led Zeppelin. The List Has Listed The Last Performance As 11/26/1989, Because 11/26/1989 Was The Last Full Performance, Not 12/2/1989 Because It Is Only A Piece. When A Song Was Played By Nirvana, But Not In The Full Version, It Was Listed By The Last Short Performance, Like More Than A Feeling. A Full Performance Takes Preference Over Short Performances. Note #4 - How Is The List Arranged? A. Album B. Song - Date - Location Note #5 - What Is The Help Me Death Jam? Help Me Is Probably Litte More Than An Improv. It First Appeared During The European Tour Of 1989. It Was Played A Few Times, 11/5/1989, 11/8/1989, And 11/22/1989, The Final Time, In Wien, Austria, The Out Of The Blue Version. In 1991, The Band Used The Basic Riff Of The Song As The Song They Played During Demoliton. It Was First Played 9/25/1991 In Providence, Rhode Island, With Just Krist Novoselic And Dave Grohl. It Was Played For The Final Time 9/28/1991 In New York, New York. Note #6 - Where Did You Get In Bloom From 2/27/1994 From?? A Piece Of The 2/27/1994 Show Was Broadcasted During The Tribute To Nirvana By MTV. The Song Playing In The Footage Is In Bloom. There Is Some Speculation That That Footage Was Actually From One OF The Mid February French Shows, But I'm Optimistic So I'm Sticking With 2/27/1994. Note #7 - I've Heard Things About The Existance Of The 3/1/1994 Show From Munich, Germany, What Do You Know? It Does Exist!! An Audio (Partially Complete) Is Floating Around The Net And It Includes Four Songs, RFUS, Drain You, Breed, And Serve The Servants. It's From The A German TV Video Of The Show. It Appears To Including Audience Recorded Sound. The Show Does Contain More Material According To Reports With The Basic Euro Up To As Far As Sliver And/Or Dumb. After One Of Those Songs, Kurt Cobain Leaves The Stage. Krist Novoselic Says "Wait A Minute", And Nirvana Never Returns To The Stage That Night, Or Any Night. Note #8 - What About Other Hoarded Shows? I've Asked Jonas Blank About Some Of The Hoarded Goodies Out There, In Thinking About The List, And He Was Kind Enough To Provide Me With Information About Each Of These. The Major Group 03/01/1994 - The Complete Version 01/16/1993 - It's Rumored To Include All Of The In Utero Songs Plus A Number Of Oddball Covers. 10/08/1989 - The Complete Version 02/06/1994 - At One Time, Many Of The Original Collectors Of Nirvana Live Recordings Had A Shot At It, But Not One Them (Obviously) Jumped At It And The Show Has Fallen Into The Darkness. It's Rumored To Be A Totally Awful Recording, Which Was The Main Reason It Hasn't Been Circulated (The Taper Was Not Confident Enough To Circulate It). You Can Say "Thank You" To Jeff McRae For Clueing Me In To That Bit Of Information. 12/02/1993 - A Video Of The Show Is Being Hoarded. 10/20/1991 - A Video Of The Show Is Being Hoarded. 08/06/1993 - A Soundboard Of The Show Is On The Net, Although Majorly Hoarded. The Person Who Holds The Show Has European Bootleg Cd Contacts, So It's Safe To Say The Show Will Probably Grace A Live Cd Someday. It's Rumored To Include A Cover Of Led Zepplin's "No Quarter". Fecal Matter - Fecal Matter Demo Is Out There. From My Info, I Know It Was Being Circulated Thru The Nirvana Camp As Recently As The European 1991 Tour. It Was Given To Members Of The Road Crew. Also Included With The Fecal Matter Footage Wase The Dressed For Success (Named For The Disc On Which They Were First Published) Demos Which Just Surfaced On The Primadonna Disc "Dressed For Success". The Person Who Supplied The Dressed Demos Also Holds Fecal Matter. He Got The Tape From The Road Crew. The Dressed For Success Demos Are From A Second Generation Tape Of These Demos, As Will Fecal Matter Likely Be When It Is Pressed Into Disc.
