Nirvana - 1987-03-07 - Raymond (First Concert)
Nirvana - Raymond, 07.03.1987 - First Concert
This is the first concert, that Nivana made.
01. Downer (soundcheck)
02. Aero Zeppelin
03. If You Must
04. Heartbreaker
05. How Many More Times
06. Mexican Seafood
07. Pen Cap Chew
08. Spank Thru
09. Hairspray Queen
This was the band's first show. "Heartbreaker" and "How Many More Times" are Led Zeppelin jams. Tony Poukkula, who lived in the house, plays second guitar for part of the show. The circulating recording may be incomplete. "Downer" is slightly cut into. This is the kind of disc that makes people collect bootlegs. The sound quality is not for everyone, but if you appreciate an incredibly rare and early performance, First Live Show is a "must have" CD. The performance that is listed as March 7th, 1987 is mentioned in the Charles Cross Kurt Cobain biography "Heavier Then Heaven". Mr. Cross does a good job describing the events before, during, and after the show and transcribes some of the banter that can be heard as the band runs through nine of Nirvana's earliest songs. The show takes place at a house party in Raymond Washington. Throughout the performance you can hear partygoers and the band chat back and forth. The band receives little to no applause. They are surprisingly tight (Aaron Burkhardt is on drums) and it's easy to tell the band had spent some time rehearsing. As Mr. Cross notes in the book, it's simply amazing that a tape like this exists. The sound is as good or better than anyone could expect. You won't find a document like this for many bands, this is something very special.
