The video does not zoom in much and tends to focus mainly on the whole stage. The picture is fairly clear but undetailed due to the distance. The audio is clear but is a little bass heavy at times. This disc also includes a 1 minute clip of the band at the airport. Setlist: The Money Will Roll Right In / Breed / Sliver / Drain You / Scoff / In Bloom / About A Girl / School / Lithium / Aneurysm / Polly / Stay Away / Stain / Been A Son / On A Plain / Negative Creep / Come As You Are / Love Buzz / Smells Like Teen Spirit / Territorial Pissings 07/03/92 Madrid, Spain - Palacio de los Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid Length: 05 min - incomplete (Total DVD time: 55 mins) Quality: A (professional shot) Generation: TV->VHS(2)->DVDR(3) Video Format: PAL Image from DVD: Here Comments: This is a multi camera Pro-shot video with soundboard audio.

Setlist: Drain You (clip) / Aneurysm (clip) / Interview 08/30/92 Reading, England - Reading Festival #1 Length: 93 min - complete Quality: A (private shot) Generation: VID(2)->DVDR Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This video is shot from very close to the stage slightly to the right of Kurt. The camera work is extremely shaky due to an energetic crowd. The picture is seldom still for more then a few seconds at a time and there are often heads and bodies in the way. There are, however, some great close shots of Kurt and Krist. Dave is hardly seen except during the destruction. The picture is pretty clear. The audio is very good, though the only downside with it is that often the audience singing drowns out Kurt's voice. Setlist: Breed / Drain You / Aneurysm / School / Sliver / In Bloom / Come As You Are / Lithium / About A Girl / tourette's / Polly / Lounge Act / Smells Like Teen Spirit / On A Plain / Negative Creep / Been A Son / All Apologies / Blew / Dumb / Stay Away / Spank Thru / Love Buzz / The Money Will Roll Right In / D-7 / Territorial Pissings->destruction jam / National Anthem 08/30/92 Reading, England - Reading Festival #2 Length: 62 min - incomplete Quality: A (private shot) Generation: VID->DVDR Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This video is shot from both sides of the stage, about half from the right and half from the left. The DVD starts with Kurt in a wheelchair backstage joking around just before going on stage. There are excellent shots of Kurt and Krist, as the taper is often a few yards away from them. The taper does record from next to Dave for a short period and gets some great shots of him, too. The picture is good quality, but is a little dull and uncolourful. There is also a timebar throughtout the video. The audio is extremely overdriven and distorted for a major portion of the show. The portion shot from the left of the stage has slightly better audio quality. Cuts off after 'All Apologies' and includes additional backstage footage. Setlist: Pre-Show backstage / The Rose (intro) / Breed / Drain You / Aneurysm / School / Sliver / In Bloom / Come As You Are (cuts in) / Lithium / About A Girl / Tourette's / Polly / Lounge Act (has a tiny cut in) / More Than A Feeling jam (cuts in) / Smells Like Teen Spirit / On A Plain / Negative Creep / Been A Son / All Apologies (cuts out) 08/30/92 Reading, England - Reading Festival #3 Length: 102 min - complete Quality: A (professional shot) Generation: VID(M)->STANDALONE->DVDR Video Format: PAL Image from DVD: Here Comments: Amazing quality complete professional shot video.

It is very well shot with some excellent close-ups. The picture and audio are of fairly good quality but do appear to suffer slightly from generation loss. This version does not have a timecode on the screen.

There are also portions shot from next to Dave. There are some very good shots of all band members. However, the video is very generated and is black and white for the most part. The audio is open-mic but is very poor. It is distorted and rather bass heavy. The interview is about 12 minutes and concert footage is 15 minutes in length. Setlist: Breed / interview / Drain You / School (cut) / Sliver (cut) / In Bloom (cut) / Come As You Are / Lithium (cut) / About A Girl (cut) 09/11/92 Seattle, WA - Seattle Center Coliseum (Washington Music Industry Coalition Benefit) #1 Length: 16 min - incomplete Quality: B/B+ (professional shot) Generation: VHS(x)->DVDR(1) Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This is a single camera professional shot video with soundboard audio.

Setlist: "Version A:"intro / Breed / Drain You / Aneurysm / "Version B:" intro / Breed 09/11/92 Seattle, WA - Seattle Center Coliseum (Washington Music Industry Coalition Benefit) #2 Length: 25 min - incomplete Quality: A (private shot) Generation: 8MM(M)->DVDR(1) Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This is a private shot recording of this show. The audio doesn't sound good because of the taper being so close (mostly on the side of the stage). Setlist: jam - soundcheck (cut) / All Apologies / Been A Son / Blew / Dumb (cuts in) / Rape Me (cuts in) / Stay Away / Love Buzz (cuts out) / Territorial Pissings (cuts in and cuts out) 09/11/92 Seattle, WA - Seattle Center Coliseum (Washington Music Industry Coalition Benefit) #3 Length: 35 min - incomplete Quality: A (private shot) Generation: 8MM(M)->DVDR(1) + VID(x)->MiniDV(1)->DVDR(1) Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This is a mix of the above private and professional shot recordings of this show. The audio on both video sources have been replaced with the audio from the boot CD "Banned for Life" except during the Soundcheck Jams. The audio from the video sources were inferior to this audio source. Setlist: jam - soundcheck (cut) / All Apologies / Been A Son / Blew / Dumb (cuts in) / Rape Me (cuts in) / Stay Away / Love Buzz (cuts out) / Territorial Pissings (cuts in and cuts out) / Breed / Drain You / Aneurysm 09/26/92 Valencia, CA - Castaic Lake Natural Amphitheater Length: 08 min - incomplete Quality: A- (private shot) Generation: VID(1)->D8(1)->DVDR(6) Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This video is shot from the right of the venue. The shot of the stage is clear and there are very few obstuctions to the front of the stage. The drums are totally out of view. Kurt is visible throughtout his performances, and there are some nice shots of him. The picture and audio are good for all performances on the DVD. The DVD also includes the complete Mudhoney show (46 mins) and a Sonic Youth clip (1 min). Kurt joined Mudhoney on guitar for "The Money Will Roll Right In," then went solo on "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." During the Mudhoney set, the audio is sightly muffled at times. The Nirvana set is 8 minutes in length. Setlist: Where Did You Sleep Last Night / The Money Will Roll Right In 10/04/92 Seattle, WA - Crocodile Cafe Length: 11 min - incomplete Quality: B (private shot) Generation: VHS(x)->DVDR(1) Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: Setlist: Curmudgeon (cuts in) / Lounge Act / Pennyroyal Tea (cuts out) / School 10/30/92 Buenos Aires, Argentina - Estadio de Velez Sarsfield (Jos� Amalfitani) #1 Length: 82 min - near complete Quality: A- (private shot) Generation: VID(X) -> STANALONE -> DVDR(3) Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This is a near complete multi camera professional shot video with soundboard audio. The unknown opening song and 'Negative Creep' cut in and some between-song banter is missing. No known generation tapes seem to exist. It includes the only performance of "Beeswax" after 1988, which was substituted for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" at the last minute after Kurt got upset at the audience for throwing objects at the opening act, Calamity Jane. There are brilliant shots of all 3 members. The picture is clear throughout and is not likely to be higher then 2nd generation. The audio is very good but is a little muffled at times. It is also set to a fairly low volume on the DVD. Setlist: Nobody Knows I'm New Wave (?) / Aneurysm / Smells Like Teen Spirit (intro) / Breed / Smells Like Teen Spirit (intro) / Drain You / Beeswax / Spank Thru / School / Come As You Are / Lithium / Lounge Act / Sliver / About A Girl / Polly / In Bloom / Territorial Pissings / Been A Son / On A Plain / Blew / All Apologies / Endless, Nameless 10/30/92 Buenos Aires, Argentina - Estadio de Velez Sarsfield (Jos� Amalfitani) #2 Length: 60 min - incomplete Quality: A (professional shot) Generation: "PROMO MASTER" VHS(1)->DVDR(3) [2nd transfer] Video Format: NTSC Image from DVD: Here Comments: This is an excellent pro shot video. It includes the only performance of "Beeswax" after 1988, which was substituted for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" at the last minute after Kurt got upset at the audience for throwing objects at the opening act, Calamity Jane. There are brilliant shots of all 3 members. The picture and audio are very clear throughout. This transfer is slightly superior to the circulating complete version. Setlist: Nobody Knows I'm New Wave (?) / Aneurysm / Smells Like Teen Spirit (intro) / Breed / Smells Like Teen Spirit (intro) / Drain You / Beeswax / Spank Thru / School / Come As You Are / Lithium / Lounge Act / Sliver / About A Girl / Polly / In Bloom / Territorial Pissings / Been A Son / On A Plain |
