Notes for AUD #1a: Missing 'The Rose' intro. 'Lounge Act' cuts in and 'Love Buzz' cuts out. Has a few small pops. No known generation tapes of this source are circulating at present. This source was taped next to the speaker stack, then speed copied with Dolby Noise reduction for sale on Camden Market. Sadly the master has been destroyed.
Notes for AUD #1b: Includes 'tourettes' and 'The Money Will Roll Right' in only. Sourced from a superior and possibly lower generation cassette copy than AUD #1a. This source was taped next to the speaker stack, then speed copied with Dolby Noise reduction for sale on Camden Market. Sadly the master has been destroyed.
Notes for AUD #1c: Includes 'D-7' only. Sourced from a superior and possibly lower generation cassette copy than AUD #1a. This source was taped next to the speaker stack, then speed copied with Dolby Noise reduction for sale on Camden Market. Sadly the master has been destroyed.
Notes for AUD #1d: Includes 'More Than A Feeling' (jam) only. Sourced from a superior and possibly lower generation cassette copy than AUD #1a. This source was taped next to the speaker stack, then speed copied with Dolby Noise reduction for sale on Camden Market. Sadly the master has been destroyed.
Notes for AUD #2: Missing 'All Apologies' and 'Blew'. In August 2002 the LNCU surfaced an upgrade of this source, replacing older ANA(2) copies.
Notes for AUD #3: Missing 'The Rose' intro and almost all of Novoselic's intro to 'Territorial Pissings'. 'More Than A Feeling' also has a cut. No known generation tapes of this source are circulating at present. Often listed on trade lists as DAT>ANA(X), but this really is just an educated guess based on the exceptional sound quality of this source.
Notes for AUD #4: Missing some band banter after 'Blew'. 'Love Buzz' cuts in and the demolition cuts out after about two minutes. No known generation versions of this source are currently in circulation. First circulated in January 2004.
Notes for AUD #5: Surfaced in March 2006. Missing 'The Rose' introduction and has cuts in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and 'Territorial Pissings'.
Notes for AUD #6: Surfaced in June 2016. Missing between song banter after 'Lounge Act' and the end destruction is missing.
Notes for SBD #1a: This version features the following songs only: 'Breed', 'Drain You', 'Aneurysm', 'School', 'Sliver', 'In Bloom', 'Come As You Are', 'Lithium', 'More Than A Feeling', 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', 'On A Plain', 'Been A Son', 'All Apologies', 'Blew', 'Dumb', 'Stay Away' and 'Territorial Pissings'. It is bass heavy and badly mixed. The first 8 songs were broadcast on 10/19/92 and the last 8 on 10/22/92, on BBC Radio 1. It can also be found in inferior quality in FM>ANA(1) form and on the bootleg 'Dumb'; see Live Nirvana's Bootography Guide To Nirvana Bootlegs for more information on commercial releases of this show. The broadcast mix omits Kurt's "yeeeeah" at the end of the 'Breed' guitar solo, the echoed vocals during 'School' chorus and the vocals on 'More Than A Feeling' are mostly mixed out.
Notes for SBD #1b: Second FM broadcast. The setlist is the same as the first broadcast, except that it additionally includes 'The Rose' intro and features 'Negative Creep' instead of 'Blew'. In April 2007 a new fresh transfer was circulated. The broadcast mix omits Kurt's "yeeeeah" at the end of the 'Breed' guitar solo, the echoed vocals during 'School' chorus and the vocals on 'More Than A Feeling' are mostly mixed out.
Notes for SBD #1c: Second FM broadcast. The setlist is the same as the first broadcast, except that it additionally includes 'The Rose' intro and features 'Negative Creep' instead of 'Blew'.
