Notes
Because Nick Cave was reading poetry in the venue below this one, Nirvana had to wait onstage so they would not interfere with his performance. After being asked twice to not play yet, Kurt started playing "Polly."

Uncirculated Recordings
soundboard audio
At least the Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, and Wedding Present sets were recorded for a radio station, so it is likely that Nirvana's set was also recorded from the soundboard.


professional video
Shot by Dave Markey.
Clips of "Polly" (with audio from 10/25/91), "School" (with audio from 08/20/91), and the end-of-show destruction appear on the official video release 1991: The Year Punk Broke.
A clip of "In Bloom" has been broadcast on TV.
Clips appear on the official video release Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! and in the "Lithium" music video.


professional video
Clips of the Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins sets have been broadcast on Dutch TV, so it is possible that Nirvana's set was also video taped by this crew.
