And the audio of this new video.

Here we have a video of Nirvana's never before seen or heard concert at Rignall Hall in Olympia. The video is incomplete (featuring eight songs) and has cuts in every song. The audio quality is solid, while the video is fairly dark. It was filmed very close to the band though, so there are at least some nice closeups. Unfortunately there are many special effects.
2011/03/21 1991/10/17 Lawrence analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#1 ANA(1) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 45 min. 7.5 LNDU
LNTH
Average sounding recording of a previously never available concert. The taper intended to also record the rest of concert on the other side of the cassette, but for some reason his recorder didn't work properly. Features the rarely performed song "Curmudgeon".

Previously unsurfaced concert from the tour with Dale Crover on drums. The setlist is very similar to the one from the next night, except for an opening jam which cuts in on this recording. The quality isn't that great, but anyone should be able to get over it, after all this is a completely new show!

LNTH
Very good sounding and near complete new audience recording for this concert, yet not as good as AUD #1 in terms of quality.
2012/04/12 1990/02/12 Sacramento analog audience video recording amateur video AMT#2 VHS(M) > DVDR(1) 61 min. 8.0 LNDU
LNTH
New video for this concert. The show was filmed with a static camera from above, resulting in a nice overview. Besides a cut in "Love Buzz", the video is complete and also contains some footage from before and after the concert. Both audio and video quality are fairly nice.
2012/04/11 1990/02/12 Sacramento analog audience video recording audience audio from amateur video AMT#2 VHS(M) > DVDR(1) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 61 min. 8.0 LNDU

analog soundboard audio recording soundboard audio SBD#3e ANA(2) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 4 min. 9.5 LNDU
LNSH
This is a very interesting little piece of history, namely the first mix of Love Buzz without re-recorded vocals (and therefore a never before heard vocal track) and a longer "Montage Of Heck" intro. Excellent quality for a second gen tape and also features some introductary noise that isn't available anywhere else.
2012/02/28 1993/11/13 Washington analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#2b ANA(2) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 102 min. 6.5 LNDU
LNTH
Only slightly better sounding than the ANA(4) (AUD #2a). Has cuts that are not on AUD #2a and vice versa, therefore this source got split.
2011/12/22 1991/11/14 Vienna analog audience video recording amateur video AMT#2 VHS(1) > DVDR(1) 18 min. 8.0 LNDU
LNTH
Probably the most interesting surface so far this year - a partial video of this concert including the first five songs and part of the soundcheck, at which the band plays "Talk To Me" (cuts in) and part of "Oh, The Guilt". The soundcheck is filmed from the back of the venue, while the concert is filmed from the side of the stage. Audio and video quality are also fairly good.
2011/12/22 1991/11/14 Vienna analog audience video recording audience audio from amateur video AMT#2 VHS(1) > DVDR(1) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 18 min. 8.0 LNDU

The audio for the above mentioned new video.
2011/12/14 1992/01/24 Sydney digital audience audio recording audience audio AUD#2 DAT(M) > ANA(2) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 3 min. 8.5 LNDU
LNTH
New and good sounding recording of this concert (at least a little part of it). Due to technical problems, all that was recorded is the intro and parts of "Aneurysm" and "Drain You".
2011/12/12 1991/11/19 Rome analog soundboard audio recording soundboard audio SBD#1c
DBS > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 59 min. 9.0 LNDU
LNTH
Recorded from a digital radio broadcast, this version sounds a lot better than the analog radio recordings of this concert. However, this broadcast has cut within "Smells Like Teen Spirit" because the original tape used for broadcast was damaged.
2011/11/16 1991/09/23 Boston analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#1 ANA(1) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 49 min. 8.5 LNDU
LNTH
While there were previously only some clips of this concert available, we now have a near complete and good sounding audience recording of this Nevermind era concert. The setlist doesn't offer any rarities, but this concert includes the first ever performance of "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam", which the band just learned that day.
2011/10/27 1991/10/24 San Diego analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#1 ANA(M) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 20 min. 6.0 LNDU
LNTH
Newly surfaced complete audience recording, featuring the intro and all of Dumb as opposed to the video source. Unfortunately, the quality is rather bad due to cheap equipment and a very low recording level.
2011/10/07 1991/10/01 Philadelphia analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#2 ANA(M) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 43 min. 8.5 LNDU

Another recording of this show. It's complete and sounds significantly better than AUD #1.

Atlanta (Hole w/ Cobain)
analog soundboard audio recording soundboard audio SBD#2b ANA(x) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 47 min. 9.0 LNDU
LNSH
All finished songs from the "Live Though This" session mixed by Sean Slade from Kristen Pfaff's personal collection (thus proably a low gen). Featuring never before available mixes, unique between-song banter and the highest quality version of the song "Rock Star".
2011/03/31 1991/12/31 San Francisco analog audience video recording amateur video AMT#1 VHS(2) > DVDR(1) 5 min. 7.0 LNDU
LNTH
For the first time footage from this concert on video! This recording was made from the side of the stage and features a near complete performance of "Territorial Pissings" and the end-of-show destruction.
2011/01/12 1993/12/30 Inglewood analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#3 ANA(2) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 93 min. 8.0 LNDU

New and fairly nice sounding recording (although it's a little distorted) of this concert.
2010/12/30 1993/10/23 Chicago analog audience audio recording audience audio AUD#2 ANA(x) > FLAC [44.1kHz] 94 min. 6.0 LNDU
LNTH
Old source, which dropped out of circulation when AUD #1 surfaced, Sounds way worse than AUD #1, but RFUS is complete on this recording.

LNTH
New and complete audience recording, less overdriven but more generated than AUD #1. Although the exact lineage of this tape is unknown, it's thought to be of fairly low generation (1st or 2nd gen).

This alternate VHS(1) (again, the old tape was determined to be VHS(1) instead of VHS(x)) is a tiny bit more complete in the beginning. Unfortunately it has fairly oversaturated colours.
2012/04/26 1990/03/20 Olympia different tape of the same generation professional video PRO#1b? VHS(1) > DVDR(0) 24 min. 8.0 LNDU
LNSH
Slightly more complete than the old version (which was labelled VHS(x) - but it is also a VHS(1)). This new video has very saturated colors, so it's not sure if it really makes the old version redundant.
2012/04/25 1990/10/11 Olympia non-remastered digital generation upgrade audience audio AUD#1 ANA(M) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 72 min. 8.0 LNDU
LNTH
The previously circulating ANA(M)>CDR(1) has been professionally remastered and thus is more bass heavy, while this is a completely raw transfer straight from the master tape.

Lowest digital generation for this recording which suffers from many dropouts due to a loose microphone jack.

Straight master transfer and a nice improvement in sound quality over the previously circulating first gen cassette.

2012/04/18 1991/10/11 Detroit known analog generation upgrade amateur video AMT#1 VHS(2) > DVDR(0) 82 min. 7.5 LNDU
LNTH
This is a genuine VHS(2) of this recording, while the generation of the previously available versions (VHS(1), 8MM(M)) are very likely bogus.
The picture quality is better than on the old versions and also the audio is slightly superior, so this will be the definite version from now on.
2012/04/17 1990/04/10 Ann Arbor known analog generation upgrade audience audio from amateur video AMT#2 VHS(2) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 53 min. 5.5 LNDU

After long years of hunting for this tape, our French surfacers were finally able to borrow it again for a proper transfer, which sounds quite a bit better than the old remaster.

This is an unremastered transfer done years ago on non-optimal equipment resulting in a skip during the unknown song. Thus, this source had to be split.

It is currently unclear what number this source will get - it presumably sounds better than PRO #1b and looks similar to PRO #1c. [UPDATE: THIS NEW SOURCE IS SUPERIOR TO PRO #1b AND PRO #1c - THOSE WILL BE ERASED AND THIS WILL BE THE NEW PRO #1b]

Another ANA(2) that replaces the old version of the same generation. This particular tape is of higher sound quality compared to the previous version.
2011/12/17 1992/06/22 Belfast different tape of the same generation audience audio AUD#1 ANA(2) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 76 min. 7.5 LNDU

Different cassette copy from the DAT master, which has no cut within "Polly". It also sounds a little better than the previous version.

No more a/b for this recording! This tape includes the whole concert and sounds slightly better than everything that was previously circulating.

The original DAT(1) is damaged, so the here extracted CDR is currently the lowest digital generation available for this source.

2011/12/08 1989/07/12 Philadelphia different tape of the same generation amateur video AMT#1 VHS(x) > DVDR(0) 57 min. 6.5 LNDU
LNTH
This alternate VHS(x) looks a bit better than the old transfer. Unfortunately it's less complete in the beginning and the sound quality deteriorates after some time. This source definitely needs a known gen.
2011/11/27 1988/10/30 Olympia digital generation upgrade audience audio AUD#1 ANA(M) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 59 min. 9.0 LNDU

Fresh Nakamichi transfer from the master tape of this very interesting early show. Nice sound improvement over the old ANA(M)>CDR(3).

2011/10/18 1991/11/25 Amsterdam different analog radio recording soundboard audio SBD#1c FM > ANA(1) > DAT(1) [32kHz] > FLAC [44.1kHz] 57 min. 9.5 LNDU
LNTH
Although this source has been listed for a long time, it wasn't circulating widely. Now we have a nice sounding recording of this first broadcast, which features some between song banter not found on other radio broadcasts.
2011/09/19 1991/04/13 Olympia (Witchypoo w/ Cobain & Novoselic) digital generation upgrade audience audio AUD#1 ANA(1) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz] 22 min. 7.5 LNDU
LNTH
Nice quality upgrade over the old ANA(1)>DAT(1). While the old transfer only featured one song ("(I Saw You) Shine"), this new transfer has 6 other songs and jams (Black Flag and Flipper covers) from this concert.
2011/09/19 1990/02/11

ANA(M) > FLAC [44.1 & 48kHz]

2011/07/17 1991/10/11 Detroit analog generation upgrade amateur video AMT#1 8MM(M) > DVDR(2) 82 min. 7.5 LNDU

Analog generation upgrade, replacing the old VHS(1)>DVDR transfer. Probably due to a non-optimal transfer, the quality difference to the higher gen tape is not immediately visible. [UPDATE: THIS IS MOST LIKELY A MISLABEL AND NOT A TRANSFER STRAIGHT FROM THE MASTER!]
