First Avenue Club

• First released on CD from a concert at the First Avenue Club in Minneapolis on October 14, 1991.
• A repress was released in 2003 — uThe Dead Star Co., TDSCD-003/u.
• The concert took place over two shows in a single day: in the afternoon, Nirvana played a 30-minute set at the Northern Lights music store, followed by an evening performance at a packed First Avenue club. According to eyewitness accounts, the crowd was already greeting "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as a hit rather than a new song.
• The organizers had intended for the performance to be acoustic and promised to provide instruments at the store; however, no left-handed guitar could be found for Kurt, so the band had to use their own gear, resulting in an electric set.
• During the intro to "Love Buzz," Kurt’s guitar malfunctions, giving the track a sound noticeably different from other recordings.
• An early version of "Rape Me" — recorded more than two years before its appearance on the album *In Utero* — features an arrangement that differs from the final 1993 version.
• The recording is incomplete; the evening’s setlist also included a jam based on a theme from the opera *Carmen* and the song "On a Plain."
