Programme Title: ABC In Concert
Broadcast Date/s: 01/29/93
Length: 7 Minutes
Notes: This program is rather odd. It's premise is that the journalist David Saltz is visiting Gold Mountain to try and book Nirvana to feature on the ABC In Concert series. The footage it does actually show is from 08/30/92 Reading Festival, Reading, UK. The programme also features brief live clips of The Lemonheads and Eugenius

Content: Lithium

Programme Title: Unknown (Hollywood Rock Festival)
Broadcast Date/s: 01/23/93
Length: 55 Minutes
Notes: This is edited footage of 01/23/93, Praça da Apoteose, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The reason for the date is that it appears to have a live commentary in-between the songs, leading me to believe this was a live broadcast. In Bloom and Come As You Are were shown out of sequence after the band had finished the set with Scentless Apprentice probably to add more 'hits' to the broadcast. This broadcast is missing several songs before Lithium and the entire encore. Lithium is cut into at the start.

Programme Title: Saturday Night Live
Broadcast Date/s: 09/25/93, 04/27/94

Notes: This was probably broadcast several times as all Saturday Night Live's seem to be, however, like 01/11/92, they are likely to be cut versions. The rehearsals for this show, recorded 09/23/93, are also available in trading circles, presumably from a tape leaked by somebody working on the programme.

Broadcast Date/s: 11/10/93
Length: 6 Minutes
Notes: The program features an interview recorded in August 1993 by the Seattle Waterfront. This is not the same as the Much Music interview that has appeared on many specials.

Destruction footage is from 12/07/91, Transmusicales Festival, Rennes, France (note the clips have music dubbed over the top).
