Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
This disc contains the complete December 14th, 1993 show (mislabeled as Feb 18th, 1994). Overall, this is a rather average "In Utero" tour performance. The sound quality is excellent for an audience recording, but nothing about the show stands out and it's not a disc you will listen to more than a few times.

The primary fascination collectors' have with Psychout Induction is that it was originally issued on the Small Clone label and it's the preferred commercial disc for this date. It's a nice double CD set to have

The December 14th 1993 portion of the disc (all of disc 1 and tracks 1-5 on disc 2) is solid. The inserts and CDs are clearly identifiable as "The Dead Star Co". Note the typos on the picture CDs. This release is remastered and reedited. About A Girl is no longer split between two tracks. The bonus tracks are also remastered, but the sound is still really really average and saturated (for Paris show). Obviously it's not the entire show. Instead, they ripped various songs from the performance so the tracks aren't even continuous. I suppose they thought it would be nice if they had two French shows on the same disc, unfortunately the meat of the set is a US performance.

The last track is one of the best performances of Sappy from February 25th, 1994. Make sure you pick up the entire show on Suicide Solution!

Overall, it's a very solid double CD. This Pressing first surfaced in October 2006
