	Comments from the Live Nirvan web site:

	Chris Hickman describes the scene lucidly, "The "comeback" show, 
	whose relevance is slightly lost now, but watching the video will 
	show just how excited tens of thousands of people were to see 
	Nirvana's first show in almost 2 months, first UK show in over 9, 
	and last UK show ever. The longest setlist they ever did, they hit 
	every corner of their catalog and then some, bringing out some 
	best ever versions of some songs ("Lithium"), and some worst ever 
	performances of others ("D7," "Love Buzz")."


	Nirvana Bootography Review:

	This is possibly the greatest Nirvana show. Since this disc was 
	released, "The Last UK Show : Reading 92" has surfaced with an 
	additional two tracks (still incomplete). There are several 
	Reading '92 releases... Dumb is the "1st FM Broadcast" and the 
	18 track version is the "2nd FM Broadcast." Dumb is a Kiss The Stone 
	release, contains outstanding artwork, and is the easiest version of 
	this show to find. Points from the disc rating were subtracted for 
	the missing tracks. All discs containing this show are incomplete. 
	
	Everything about the performance is great! The band is alive and 
	jokes about how this is their last show. This was Nirvana's 
	come-back show... the press had dogged the band with rumors of their 
	demise and Kurt's problems. At the start of the show Kurt was rolled 
	onto the stage in a wheelchair wearing a wig and a gown... he feebly 
	stood before the microphone and uttered the first two lines of 
	"The Rose" before collapsing onto the stage. He was obviously mocking 
	the press. For laughs, the band covers Boston's "More Than a Feeling" 
	for a while before kicking into "Smells Like Teen Spirit". 
	
	There is also very early version of "All Apologies" which contains 
	alternate lyrics. Kurt tells the crowd that "there have been some 
	pretty extreme things written about us ( himself and Courtney)" 
	and that Courtney felt like everyone hated her. He asks the crowd 
	to say "Courtney we love you!" on the count of three... the crowd 
	obliges and is treated to an early "All Apologies". The early 
	version of "Dumb" is just icing on a already magnificent show! 
	This show, in whatever format you find it, is one that every 
	collector should own.
