Info
----------------------------------------
After "Polly," Kurt started smashing the monitor board with his guitar out of frustration over monitor problems during the show.
During "Love Buzz," Kurt dove into the audience and ended up fighting with a bouncer. The monitor board Kurt had smashed belonged to the bouncer's friend. Krist and Dave immediately stopped playing and rushed forward to break up the fight. Once everything cooled down, Kurt started playing "Pennyroyal Tea" as Dave and Krist left the stage. Kurt abandoned the song before singing any vocals, tossed his guitar into the drum kit, and left the stage as well.
After a few minutes the band returned, "Pennyroyal Tea" was played in full, and the show continued.
Review from a US newspaper called "University News", published on October 30th, 1991.

![The Retards - 04/22/91 - Melvins Practice Space & Crover Residence, San Francisco, CA
The Retards - April 22, 1991.
Melvins Practice Space & Crover Residence, San Francisco, CA.
SBD #1
The Retards:
Kurt Cobain (vocals, guitar)
Dale Crover (drums)
Dave Grohl (bass)
Debbie Shane (engineer)
Info
Little was known about the origin of this 4-track demo until August 2002, when session engineer, Debbie Shane, recognized the recording on a bootleg a friend had found at a flea market.
Shane explains that the session came about while Cobain and Grohl were staying over at the house she and ex-boyfriend, Dale Crover, shared In San Francisco. [The session] was Kurts Idea, he wAs wanting to start-up as many bands as possible (I believe this idea was inspired by his ex-girlfriend, Tobi Vail). I dont remember who came up with the name, The Retards, I just remember that it happened quick, and it had to - we only had two days.
We went to a practice space that my band shared with the Melvins, we played some of Dales songs, some of Daves songs, some of my songs, and then Kurt said he had this song (Drain You), but it wasnt going to be a NIRVANA song because he couldnt come up with a drum part, and he just wasnt sure if he liked it or not. Then he heard Dales drum part and everything changed!
Cobain and Grohl were due in Los Angeles later that week to start work on Nevermind, They had to take off the following morning but we still needed to do the vocals. I think Kurt pulled out a notebook or a torn up piece of paper with some words on it and he and I sat on the living-room floor so he could do the vocals. we ran the 4-track through the stereo so that we could hear it through the speakers and the headphones in an attempt to get the loudest monitor sound possible so that he could sing/scream/sing. He recorded some back-ups, we mixed it and they split.
Shane believes that the session was recorded on a Tascam Porta 05/4-track with two inputs, We probably micd the drums from over head with an SM57 and we probably micd the room with an SM58 - those were the only mics we had.
Shane admits to being slightly disappointed at the edit released on the With The Lights Out box-set, They basically chopped off the beginning in which you hear either Dale, Kurt or Dave saying, We are The Retards, and we are going to play a song for you!; she also recalls playing the tape for Krist Novoselics wife, Shelli, some years after the original recording. [Shelli] asked me if Krist had ever heard it and I told her that I didnt think so. we both agreed that we liked this version best!
A Jam, purported to be from this session, is circulating in MP3 format; Its authenticity is open to debate.

![Nirvana 11/01/89 - Villa 65, Hilversum, The Netherlands
Nirvana - November 1, 1989.
Villa 65, Hilversum, The Netherlands.
VPRO Radio, Nozems-A-Gogo.
SBD #1a
Info
Having already played host to the likes of Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth and Red Hot Chili Peppers, NIRVANAs performance didnt strike DJ Fons Dellen as particularly remarkable, We had loads of bands playing our show in those days and NIRVANA was just one of em, Cobain appeared Introverted in comparison to the personable and outgoing Novoselic, [Kurt] didnt look very involved, remembers show co-host, Lotje Ijzermans. While Krist was jumping around with his tall body, happy that the people in Holland dug their music. The session was mixed and broadcast live. Later on, I heard that the band were very pleased to be on nation-wide radio, Ijzermans adds. Which is not as easy in the US, of course. sadly, the session tapes seem to have disappeared from VPROs archives. This would explain why, in November 2002, when VPRO released a more complete version of the 1991 Nozems-A-Gogo/Twee Meter De Lucht In sesssion online, they failed to put any of the 1989 Nozems-A-Gogo performance alongside it.
