Nirvana Song Chronology - Last Performances List Edition #1
The List Was Compiled By Leo P. Cailleteau, III
I Would Appreciate All Changes.

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 Is
Your Own Work.
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 11/25/1991
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
That 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 First 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 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.
Note #7 - I've Heard Things About The Existance Of The 3/1/1994 Show
From Munich, Germany, What Do You Know?
I've Found A Few Reports Of People Who Have Met A Person In New
York, New York Who Has The Show From His Relatives Who Recorded It. It Is
Your Basic Europe 1994 Show. The Band Plays The Regular Setlist, From Radio
Friendly Unit Shifter To Sliver, It May Be Dumb, I Do Not Remember. After
The Song, Kurt Cobain Leaves The Stage. Krist Novoselic Says "Wait A
Minute", And Nirvana Never Returns To The Stage That Night, Or Any Night. A
Video From 2/27/1994 Is Also Speculated To Exist Based On The Footage From
MTV, But Nothing Is For Certain.
