Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
"EU Uberalles" was the last Nirvana disc to come out of the European Bootleg boom Unfortunately, like many other 8/17/90 discs, this CD is defective and contains clicks throughout the 08/17/90 show. Pick up Love Buzz/Blew or Murder By Guitar if given the opportunity.

This disc is redeemed by some excellent filler, the quality of the Del Mar Tracks is amazing (cloned from the Pre-FM Radio Disc: "Superstar Concert Series 93:26"). This disc and another 2 feature the best sounding version of "it's closing soon" anywhere (it still sounds rotten!). It's a shame the Rupert label isn't as creative and careful with their discs as they are with their artwork... their titles are among the best looking bootlegs. This disc was cloned (years after the original release ) from "The Lost Concert" CD.
The title, which until June 2008 was misread as "Ca Uberalles" was probably a dig at the (then new) draconian laws which would soon drive the European bootleggers out of business.

True, for the most part this is disc would be more useful as a coaster. However something has been totally overlooked by DN. The Del Mar tracks are of excellent quality - in fact Polly, Sliver, Come As You Are and Lithium are of the same sound quality as on the In Bloom single (PRO). Therefore Come As You Are and Lithium are of the best sound quality available anywhere (outside geffen's vault). Apparently the pro-mixed version of the del mar show leaked at least partially. Drain You and SLTS do not sound as good as the other Del Mar tracks on this disc; there seems to be extra crowd noise added. Tracks 18, 19, 20, & 21 are, regardless of personal preference, of better sound quality than The Eternal Legacy, or the In Concert CDs, indeed, the best sound quality these tracks are available in, on any bootleg release. Since TEL has a perfect 100% grade, and CA Uberalles has something of better quality - in fact the best quality of any bootleg - I think its grade should be raised to the lowest non "F" grade, even while the rest of the disc is pitiful.
The Main Review for this disc was Substantially altered in 2006 to reflect The above findings.

this concert is a good one ... but that drummer from the Melvins made the songs go too fast and they sounded horrible i dont now what happened in Breed , maybe his drum sticks went off his hand. I'm Dave's fan so that why i say that drummer sucks and another thing... after the concert theres a soundcheck but then what is that concert of the Eternal Legacy doing there although it has a better sound than the Eternal one

SPECIAL NOTES: Due to the large number of sources for the 12/28/91 show the sound qualities have been calculated more precisely than for other shows in the Live Nirvana Tour History. In addition an entire guide has been written to radio discs featuring this show, evaluating each on sound quality and completeness: click here to read the 12/28/91 Radio Disc Guide.
