I remember watching 120 Minutes (Dave Kendall) coverage of Reading '91 and seeing bits and pieces of this performance. Watching the audience go nuts sealed it for me... gotta hear more. Wasn't long after that I ordered my first CD (it was a relatively new format at the time)... and it was Nevermind. It blew my mind. Still does, to a degree. Saw Nirvana on Halloween '93 in Akron, OH. Amazing performance.

I came so fuckin' close to seeing Nirvana. In '94 I had tickets to see them headline Lalapalooza for August. They were the headline band when I ordered the tickets. then Kurt died in April. Tragic
