1. Ron, I am hoping that you can help me here. Also, I might be wrong but I don't think there's a Nirvana topic on this site (I'm not really in the mood to start one either) so I thought this would be as good of a place as any to pose/post this question:

    Are there any EXCELLENT/HIGH-QUALITY Nirvana shows out there from 1993 that cover a good portion of In Utero. I've done a bit of searching and can only seem to find shows with cut songs, extreme edits (e.g., MTV Live and Loud), or simply low sound quality.

    Any suggestions? It'd be nice to get something that complements that Live at Reading show that includes almost all of Nevermind.

  2. Well, you're off to a good start.

    (Get some of those 2000 and 2003 bootlegs at pearljambootlegs.org)

  3. I picked up some (well, two) official 2000 bootlegs from that wegotshit blog you posted a while back. Looks like it's since been taken down.
  4. Originally posted by RUMMY:So with this top albums list coming up it got me thinking: What is PJ's fifth-best album? In whatever order you'd like to put them, their first three are without a doubt their best three and Yield at #4 is a no-brainer for me. But what comes next?

    #4 Yield
    #5 Riot Act
    #6 No Code

    i used Foo Fighters topic for posting some Nirvana thoughts every now and then .. nonetheless a forum with "a different kind of music" section without a Nirvana thread has a deeeeeep hole hehe.
    i sometimes was tempted to open it along with a Seattle Scene one but don't know how much following it could have, even though there would be lot and lot and lot and lot to talk about

    anyhow coming to you .. i took all my boots, over the years, from different sites .. now going by memory here one
    http://livebootlegconcert.blogspot.it/search/label/Nirvana
    there is Rio 93, with just a couple of In Utero songs and a Smells Like with Flea on trumpet hehe .. and some exchange of instruments .. don't remember if this is the show when Kurt changed lot of lyrics of Polly driving Dave mad doing the second voice hehe ... quite hilarous show

    mainly there is Palaghiaccio Rome 22-02-1994, not a fantastic performance but i'm quite fond of it being very close to the last couple of times i saw Kurt (24-25)

    when i'm home this evening (i'm at office now) i will check my Nirvana bookmarks if there's still something alive
  6. ^Grazie, Ron.

    Maybe something will get officially released in 2013 for 20th anniversary of In Utero.
  7. i would be happy with something like it was for Nevermind
  8. Originally posted by RUMMY:Fair enough. I do REALLY like five or so songs (Sometimes, Hail Hail, IN MY TREE, Present Tense, and Off He Goes) from it but then a gap appears. It's not that I don't like the other songs (I do) but I also think that Binaural and Riot Act are both worth considering.


    You forgot Red Mosquito,HABIT,LUKIN,Smile...
  9. No,no, Ed. I didn't forget them. I just rate them below the other five.

    Admittedly, "Habit" and, especially, "Lukin" have really grown on me over the past year. However, if I'm not in the mood for something loud/chaotic, I prefer to skip over those two songs. That said, there's always the gorgeous 2010 Night 2 version of "Lukin" to turn to.

    As for "Red Mosquito" and "Smile," for whatever reason, I don't like them nearly as much as the others. I guess I find them a bit too...subdued...and I dislike the harmonica in "Smile."

    If you said this on the 10club forums,they would explode..lol...it would be seen as "blasphemous"...lol

    Red Mosquito live,Praha 06.14.00..MINT
  11. Yeah, long-time PJ MEGA-fans (I'm a long-time fan, short-time MEGA fan) really like those two songs. Fair enough. I just never (and still haven't) really gotten into them. Keep in mind that I don't HATE them, or even dislike them (like I do, say, U2's "When Love Comes To Town" - and I consider myself to be a pretty big U2 fan), I just prefer eight songs on No Code over them.
  12. Matt,No Code had such a negative reaction,when it was released.As we have discussed many times here,the recording is awful.I blame all this on EV.He took it to heart when Cobain bashed them,and purposely dulled PJ's sound,starting on Vitalogy.

    Over the years,this release has become very popular amongst the PJ elite.As in,they know the songs are great,they were just recorded like crap.

    The songs from No Code are amazing live.I remember being at Randalls '96,and asking my friend,saying "these are the same dull songs from No Code ?"

    I wish they would remix this release,AND RELEASE A FULL LIVE SHOW FROM 1996.
