A classic Nirvana show in that this is the only known performance where Kurt did not play guitar. He destroyed his guitar beyond repair the night before and couldnt afford another one until after this show. Jason Everman was the lone guitarist.

Only available on this LP; see Live Nirvana's Audiophile Completists' Guide To Nirvana Bootlegs for more information on commercial releases of this show. The date of this show is still uncertain. The date was completely unknown until 'The Alternative CD & Vinyl Collectors Guide' claimed it was 11/13/89, which seemed to be very possible, so most collectors began labelling it as such. In 2001, however, this was proved incorrect when the real 11/13/89 was uncovered. In the late 1990s, Michael Sanderson conducted extensive analysis on the known recordings from the November 1989 West Germany tour, and concluded that this show is most likely to be from 11/09/89. LN originally concurred with his views, and began labelling this concert as such. After the 'real' 11/13/89 tape surfaced, however, some collectors noted that it not dovetail neatly with his analysis. No firm conclusion is possible at the time of writing, but we accept that 11/12/89 is equally possible.

Nirvana - Peel Sessions (FM) Flac
=================================
This represents the John Peel session tracks
that Nirvana recorded before Kurt Cobain's death
that *don't* appear on Insecticide. JP
actually re-broadcast them all in one go as a tribute
to KC, and it is from this re-broadcast that this
torrent comes.
Sound quality is excellent, taken from my own master.
I've left JP on at the end because he eloquently gives out
all of the details, and basically I wanted to hear his voice
again.
Approx lineage:
FM-->Akai 4000Ds O/Reel-->TDK Chrome-->WAV (Sound Card)-->Flac (level 8).
