Excerpts from an email about the 12/01/89 unsurfaced PRIV Video:
ABOUT THE VIDEO:
"I have new about the 12/01/89 video. The guy won't let me a copy. Or if I have one, I won't be able to trade it. Sorry. The guy is playing with his job."
"The original taper said that he only sent a copy to Geffen France. Some clip of this show has been broadcasted on French TV (M6 TV) A kid came at the venue claiming that he had the tapes of the show. The boss asked the taper... he swear that he wasn't him... So it's Geffen... and what is funny is that it's his boss who wanted him to send DGC the master !!"
"Thanks to god, he has just sent a copy of it. He owns the master. I saw the poster of the venue. And He explained me why Nirvana played in this so small venue in this small town. (it's very looking like my town, a typical suburban town): The guy was working for tupelo!! And he has a huge collection of tupelo recordings."

They want to break everything... but they don't. Kris is trying to break lights... but, he doesn't really want... Kurt wants to throw away his guitar... they're jus doing movements... but nothing happens... Finally, kurt jumps in the crow with his guitar... They make it pass and he come back on stage...
