Comments: This disc is just plain awesome! The disc contains 2 shows, both of which are incomplete. The Cork show is missing the first song "Drain You" and the Melborne show has yet to surface in it's entirety. The band is full of life and spunk for the Cork show and plays with the audience. It's highlight would be a rare ( and first) 1991 performance of �Lounge Act " and the falsetto version of �Negative Creep� (Kurt begins the song with funny vocals). The Palace tracks are good but not nearly as good as they are on �Mindblower� (The premier source for those tracks). The recording is FM broadcast quality.

Comments: "Before and After The Storm" contains two excellent shows, Reading 1991 and the 6/27/92 Ruisrock show. They are both solid audience recordings. During Reading there are a few points where the wind picks up and you can hearing blowing through the recorder's microphone (It is like that on all versions). There is a short cover of the Doors 'The End' which is pretty funny but the highlight of the first show is when Eugene Kelly (of the Vaselines) sings "Molly's Lips" with Kurt. This is the best commercially released version of the Reading 1991 show. The Ruisrock Festival offers a rare "Swap Meet" and a funny lyric change in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" where Kurt substitutes "Hello, hello, hello, how low" with "evenflow evenflow evenflow evenflow, uh hu uh hu uh hu uh hu."

Comments: "Playing at the Moon" contains a raw performance by the band just before they broke into the mainstream. The set list contains some nice rarities. Only 5 of the18 songs performed came from the album that this tour was supporting (Nevermind). After Nevermind became popular, the set lists became a lot more standardized. The sound is excellent and appears to be a professional open mic recording... it's good enough that novice collectors will enjoy it even though it's not a soundboard recording ( it's very "bassy"). The disc has a little editing after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Breed." Otherwise, it seems to be complete. There are equipment problems throughout the show. "Here She Comes Now" is extended due to Kurt's guitar going out. Blew is performed twice (on the same track)... the band starts and Kurt's guitar goes out leaving Dave and Krist jamming on the song until Kurt is ready again. It sounds like Krist starts singing the lyrics at one point and does the chorus in a falsetto voice. The audience is great and there were some dedicated fans who knew to ask for songs like "Spank Thru" and one guy who yells "Donkey Show" several times... The band started saying "Donkey Show" on their 1989 tour in Europe as thank you (sounds like the German "Thank You" that I'm not going to try to spell).

Comments: This is a rough audience recording, but the band does a good job interacting with the audience. After playing "Pennyroyal Tea," Kris tells the audience that the song "is about household drugs", thus the track is titled "Drugs" on the back of the inlay. Krist comments after someone throws a shoe on stage "Nice Shot! This is just like the shoe on the side of the road, where's the other one?" Kurt gets into the action by starting "Come As You Are", stopping, and laughing at the audience.

Comments: Tracks 18 - 23 were previously unsurfaced ( they are mislabeled as "Fecal Matter Demos"). The bonus tracks included "Bambi Slaughter," "Clean Up Before She Comes," "Black & White Blues," the "About a Girl" and "Drain You" demos, and then the complete "Beans" which included the intro that was missing from "Outcesticide III" (better sound quality also). These tracks were later released as part of "Outcesticide IV - Rape Of The Vaults" (same source). This is one of the best Nirvana shows ever recorded. The vocals are blistering and extremely solid. The drums are a little loud and drown out the bass somewhat, but the performace is raw and full of energy. An early "Rape Me" & "Lounge Act" would have been nice additions to the setlist, but there can't be any complaints about the songs that were performed. A few times during the show, stage divers knock over the mic stand and the vocals are lost for a few seconds (Krist tells them to watch it.)

Comments: 10-12-91 is one of the best Nirvana shows ever recorded. The vocals are blistering and extremely solid. The drums are a little loud and drown out the bass somewhat, but the performace is raw and full of energy.

A few times during the show, stage divers knock over the mic stand and the vocals are lost for a few seconds (Krist tells them to watch it.) It's a fun show to listen to and a favorite among Nirvana bootleg collectors. The Bonus tracks are from 10/25/91 and 01/11/92 from Saturday Night Live. Simply put, one of the best discs ever.

Comments: What a great show... it sounds like everyone was having a blast. You can tell the band was having a good time because the demolition at the end of the show was wild (Kurt's parting words at the end are "That was fun!"). The crowd gets out of hand and after Aneurysm Kurt tells everyone to crowd surf on the other side... "Go bother Chris!" There is an early Pennyroyal Tea with alternate lyrics as well as an early Rape me. During the show, the vocals and guitar go out due to problems with the crowd and/or the equipment. The bass sounds fuzzy, but the vocals are pretty good. The show is so full of energy you almost get used to it while you are listening. Been A Son and Negative Creep share a track.

Comments: This is a really good show. There seems to be a little too much reverb, but other than that, they put on a great performance. This is the Rock For Choice - keep abortion legal show.

Comments: This is a great show with excellent sound quality. The sound is what you would expect from an official release and the band plays with a lot of energy. This show was actually recorded by Geffen for a future live release, and some of the tracks have ended up on various singles. There is a good chance this show will be included in the upcoming box set. This was the bands homecoming show of the Nevermind tour and the last US date before taking off to Europe. Supposedly, "Spank Thru" and "Molly's Lips" were also played but those tracks have yet to surface. There's a little jam and Krist jokingly says "White boy funk sucks!".. hence the "White Boy Funk" jam that is listed im many bootleg guides. The early "Rape Me" and "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam" are nice... but the power and clarity of the show are the real highlights.

Comments: The band puts on a solid performance that includes an early Pennyroyal Tea with alternate lyrics, and Dumb as the highlights. Kurt changes they lyrics for school to "you're a muscle again".... not sure why, I assume someone was getting a little rough in the audience. The "Lithium" performance is better than average.... Kurt messes up in the beginning, starts over, and finishes with a lot of power.

Comments: It's a great show and contains two rare songs, "Talk to Me" and "Oh, the Guilt." The band sounds like they were having a good time, and there's a lot of energy... which is probably why they played these two rare songs at the end. Kurt teases the crowd that is singing along on "Sliver," changing the lyrics to "nya nya nya nya..." you get the picture. This is an audience recording, and gets a little muddy at the end.
