Comments: Excellent 1989 era show and one of only two commercially released performances with Jason Everman! The recording features extremely clear sound quality, a couple of jams and a semi-rare performance of Mr. Moustache. It sounds like an audience recording but there is little to no interferance from people talking or applauding. The club almost sounds empty.

Comments: This is a somewhat average audience recording. The vocals are a little drowned out, but not to the point where it really effects the listening quality of the show. This disc can be difficult to find and is one of only two releases that contain Jason Everman playing as a second guitarist.

Comments: "Where Were You In '89?" contains a superb audience recording that is very clear and consistent (occasional talk). This is an excellent disc for people who love the early Bleach shows. The set list is almost identical to the 10-29-89 show that can be found on "Wired." The Paradiso track (13-18) are a good filler.

Comments: "Wired" contains an a pair of above-average Bleach era recordings. Both performances are incomplete. "Wired" is the only commercially available disc with the 12/3/89 show. The 10/29/89 show is the more complete of the two dates on the disc. The highlight is a fantastic "Token Eastern Song." During "Mr. Moustache" Kurt's guitar goes out, prompting Krist to finish the song by screaming the lyrics while he and Chad jam. The band is in good form and spirits. Kurt actually laughs (a rarity) just before they close the set with "Blew."

Comments: This is a good show, but the disc was edited heavily between tracks, so there's really no talking between songs. There is no crowd noise, either. There are mastering errors on tracks 7, 11, and 13 where the sound drops out for a second early in the song. "Negative Creep" is cut in the beginning of the song.

Comments: The show starts out with the infamous screaming intro, similar to the Wishkah album. Dive, which Kurt says "is new," has alternate lyrics... he probably forgot them or was screwing around... they had been playing the song for a while at this point. Krist helps sing towards the end of Big Cheese, which usually signifies equipment trouble. Kurt later thanks the German audience with a gracious "Donkey Show." "Mr. Moustache" wasn't played very often, and is a nice feature on the disc and "About a Girl" is played with more distortion than usual. The setlist is very typical with exception of "Molly's Lips" - everything else that is played was a staple of this time period and was played at virtually every show.

Comments: This is what a live show is all about... You can tell the band was having a good time at this show. The setlist was typical (except for the encore), however the most unique thing about the show is a drunk guy that screams at the band throughout their performance. You hear this guy with a German accent screaming "PLAY ABOUT FUCKING GIRLS!!!!"... "TUNE YOUR FUCKING GUITAR AND PLAY ABOUT FUCKING GIRLS, MAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!"... Krist has a good time with him and yells back several times during the show and at one point sings some lines from The Who's "I'm a Boy" and dedicates it to the heckler. The entire show is wild and full of energy. "Help me" is played as an encore, and is the best known recording of the song. You can hear some kind of sound repeating in the background when the band breaks between songs... I think it's soundclips of Arnold Schwarzenegger , there must be a reason, because the repeating sounds can be heard during other 1989 European shows.

Comments: "In the Bloom" is a clear soundboard recording and contains a nice set list (Paper Cuts and Sappy are played). The disc is very solid in all aspects (complete show). Except for Kurt's sickly intro, the band seems to play well even though this was the tail end of a grueling tour. Kurt starts the show with his "screaming "intro", like the one on the Wishkah album - except he has to stop to cough. After the first song of Nirvana's set, Chad's (Chad Channing is the drummer) snare drum breaks and Kurt and Krist perform an impromptu Led Zeppelin cover (Dazed and Confused). Krist slaughters the vocals (similar to his singing before Territorial Pissings). The rest of the show is good, and Nirvana's performance is complete and unedited.

Comments: "Piper 1989" contains the infamous show where Kurt has a nervous breakdown on stage and threatens to jump off of a speaker cabinate. The sound quality is an average audience recording. The show is typical of an '89 European show and includes the technical problems that plagued the band throughout this tour. Kurt's guitar loses sound, and Krist and Chad entertain the crowd with noise jams. Kut becomes unraveled when he sings the wrong lyrics on "Spank Thru" and stops playing in the middle of the song. You can hear the crowd cry "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh" together, and then the recording stops.
