Thank God for VHS and portable video cameras back in the late 80's - 90's. It's amazing how much footage of this band has surfaced over the years allowing us to enjoy and see the progression they went through. Inspiring, tragic, and amazing.

Thank God for AI in this situation. It’s about the only thing it’s good for, but we would never see these shows in any kind of clarity if not for the AI enhancement. That’s why it wasn’t on the Internet 10 years ago. But yeah, thank God for VHS or it would have no source material. The interesting thing is that the AI weights for those split seconds were the people being filmed, were still enough to be clear, then fills in all of the dots where it’s blurry because it knows what the stuff looks like from the clear parts,. So, we’re not seeing this stuff as it necessarily really happened, it’s all artificial predictions of what was happening in the fuzzy parts based on the clear images. This would be pretty much unwatchable for all but the hardest fans and historians without the AI enhancement.

Nirvana is just too pure. Whether with Chad or dave on drums. Kurt's vision and passion for music and live performances just topples any band I've seen. They didnt want to look cool. They didnt want to be macho rock stars. They didnt want to play perfect music and have this perfect image. Kurt knew exactly what he was doing and was just a force of raw nature. Very few bands can match the rawness and purity of Nirvana.

Thanks to The guys who filmed this concert that raw sound and Kurts voice and passion and rage iam so happy that its been filmed that raw sound doesnt exist today and that voice is outstanding and so raw yet soft and beautiful just like Kurt miss you Kurt love you you are The one and only for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🧍‍♂️🙏

Everyone in A2 had a bootleg recorded tape of this show when I was growing up… so cool to see the video footage.

My step dad was actually at this show. Nobody knew how big this band would become.

Stain was amazing

I swear I've been intuitionally guessing they're whole set list. I literally started tearing up because I got like 4 in a row and the shows still going🍃

I was supposed to go to this show but missed it. I did catch them the next year at St Andrews though.

That scream at the end of scoff. Freaking amazing. Thanks for putting this up. What an incredible performance.

Had a bootleg from this show back in the days. Man, I love that one. Epic show!

This show and Tijuana are some of my faves from the Bleach shows. Kurt was electric and all in with his music. I remember way back in 2008 when I discovered all these Nirvana shows on KZread and was shocked at the sheer enthusiasm Kurt had for the music.

I love how in so many Nirvana bootleg uploads there's always a song setlist with hotlinks to exactly where the songs are in the video. It's awesome.

I've played that stage. Wow.

You are alive forever in my heart Kurt!

I like how, when they're about to start Blew, you could hear some guys shout "SWAP MEET!" Nirvana was still small compared to one year later, but they sure had some dedicated fans, which was cool

I like how on not just this upload but one I was just at for another concert, the song list and time list is in the description. Thank you.

They used to enjoy their music that time.

It's like I am actually there watching them live! Thank you :)

I have never commented on a you tube video as I have seen the trolls come out whom seem to feast on other people's joy or the green eyed monsters that spit their poison with equal equanimity in righteous indignation at others that have commented. So be kind in my simple indulgence, I am just reminiscing. I had the incredible fortune to not only be at this performance, but spent a short period of time with Kurt chatting before the show. Tad played the opening act and was interesting but so were most of the Sub Pop acts. Truthfully, I thought he paled in comparison to Nirvana. The whole set Nirvana played was excellent but the best song of the evening in my opinion was Negative Creep; It was deafening and amazing at the same time seeming to shake the very foundation of the building. The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor did not hold very many people back then so there wasn't many of us there and it was crowded even for the Blind Pig. Most of the cool kids in the audience knew each other, shopped at the same thrift shops (Value Village and St Vincent DePaul among others), went to a ton of shows and hung out at Drake's (where I went) or the Fleetwood. I am the blond haired boy with the short haircut right near Kurt. I was living in Depot Town; it feels like a lifetime ago.
