Nirvana donated their time to raise money to hire a private detective to solve the murder of Mia Zapata.

Thank you so much for uploading this, I was at this show and will never forget it. I was 8 years old and I had just moved to Seattle from Boise to come live with my dad who is good friends and ex-band mates with TAD - they had a few bands together in Boise, ID before TAD moved to Seattle. We got on the list and I got to meet Nirvana and Dave Grohl who gave me some drumsticks because I told him he's the reason I started playing. 20 years later, I would meet Dave again and told him I was that kid and it blew him away.

He & Mia were friends. Her band The Gits often played the same stages as Nirvana. Her death affected him & he wanted to do all her could (along with the rest of Seattle's music community) to get justice for her. I believe this was one of his last live performances.
I love how on School you can hear Krists pic so clear on the attack. This is as close as we are gonna get to real Nirvana. Thanks so much for uploading this

A huge thanks and a hug from Germany for uploading footage from one of the most wanted Nirvana live shows left to surface! Unbelievable it’s been 30 years since the show took place. The performance is surprisingly tight and spot on for this era. Enjoyed every second of it. God bless you!

Thanks so much for uploading and releasing this!!! Seeing something new in video form from the greatest band in the WORLD is awesome!!! ❤️👍😊
Dave’s precise playing combined with his phrasing, musicality, and attention to the song form demonstrate what a natural drummer and musician he is. And, he has a ridiculous groove happening.
Thank you for uploading this freely! This is huge!
Absolutely amazing! Thx for this truly
This performance of Scentless Apprentice is SO MUCH BETTER than the rest of 93-94. It's just a bit slower, but it's really noticeable during the chorus ("WAAAAAAYYYYYYY"). The 93-94 tour is pretty joyless for the most part and this show really emphasizes how much they all didn't wanted to go on that tour. But I'm not sure other songs suffered as much as Scentless Apprentice did, where DG sped up just about every night. Maybe KC told him, who knows... I'm just glad to finally see this forever assumed lost show. Thank you. It really is strange as another commenter said -- every time there's any new Nirvana material it feels like it just happened, and this video especially
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been waiting 30 years for this to come out. Me and my friend were with Kurt and Dave for most of the show. Brings back great memories. Thanks again
