Nirvana – Bang Tango
Velez Sarsfield Stadium , Buenos Aires , Argentina , October 30th , 1992
Soundboard recording
The story behind this show is that the crowd was rude to "Calamity Jane," the bands guest opening act. The crowd had thrown rocks and bottles forcing "Calamity Jane" to leave the stage. The show started with a long feedback session (not available on any disc). The band screws up many of songs on purpose, including stopping "Smells Like Teen Spirit", 20 seconds into the song and refusing to play it the rest of the night to punish the crowd. Kurt is pissed, and dictates the direction of the show on a whim (he didn't use a standard set list). He screws around with the opening chords to let Dave and Krist know what he wants to play next... including a rare performance of Beeswax. Kurt sings the first verse of "Come As You Are" with hey,hey, hey,hey.. (a hey for every syllable). Dave and Krist get into the action also... Dave plays cymbals jokingly during Polly, and chants "A, E, O" over and over during his and Krist's solo. The entire bass solo is a joke, and the poor Argentinean audience doesn't sound like they know the band is playing with them. The sound is excellent and the show is one that you'll want listen to over and over again. Every collector needs to get a copy of this.

Argentinians can be very nasty and stupid assholes, especially when crowded.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Thanks! Bands behaving poorly, in the music biz? Who'd a thunk it? Was at a Van Morrison show that was going well until the drunk yelling for "Brown Eyed Girl" wouldn't let up. Van sang with his back to us the rest of the night. At one point exiting and coming back with a Mr. Coffee maker and he brewed a new pot with the help of a bar maid. Great American Music Hall, in SF around 1980ish. LOL
