Nirvana Live in Rennes 1994 (Va Te Faire Enculer)

Venue:	Salle Omnisport: Rennes, France
Date:	February 16, 1993
Time:	93:40
Size:	86 Mb

Sound:	(A-, DAT, 128 Kb)
Notes:	VG+ audience recording. The rip is not so well done but still very good sound. After listening to this performance, it's hard to believe the band had so little life left in it. The 2-16-94 is arguable the best performance of the "In Utero" tour. There is some crowd noise throughout, but the show is still very listenable. Notable things about the show include a rare one-time performance of the Knack's "My Sharona" at the end of "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter." The band jams on the main riff of "My Sharona" several times during the show. The "Sappy" from this show is frequently said to be the best version ever... people probably like it because it sounds the most like the "No Alternative" version. "Sappy" was being played in 1989 and had undergone transformations throughout the life of the song. "Lounge Act" is also played, and is always a treat (Kurt blows the lyrics, but it's still great). The most appealing thing about this double CD is the liveliness of the band. Kurt makes several comments to the audience, calling Rennes "Ren and Stimpy land", telling them "We were in Paris the other night and they were a much better audience"... only later to tell them that they were the better audience. Krist and Kurt also comment about the back area of the audience being the "pot smokers section." (comments taken from one of the largest sites dealing with Nirvana boot discography)
