The show was basically a showcase for Geffen/DGC and a way to get the media excited about the band. The band played on rented gear. Stage divers kept stepping on Kurt's effect pedals and disconnecting his guitar, prompting him to say, "I'm all for stage diving, but just don't step on my pedals," according to an attendee. After "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Krist mentioned that they would be filming a music video for the song that weekend.

Soundcheck Heartbreaker • On A Plain Notes Kurt skipped out on soundcheck, leaving Krist and Dave to jam with the soundman and the opening act's drummer. They traded instruments and managed to mangle "Heartbreaker" and "On A Plain." Before going onstage, Krist covered his T-shirt with stickers from Metal Hammer (AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Extreme). During the show, he sweat off most of them and placed the rest on fans' foreheads, like a headbanger priest giving communion. At the end of the show, Kurt jumped into the audience. When the crowd passed him back onstage, he reported, "They were reaching into my pockets, trying to grab money and shit." Other Performers Urge Overkill

The band then played the whole song from the start. During "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," Krist played the drums and Dave played bass while lying down on the stage. Then Eric Erlandson from Hole ran out and tackled Kurt, prompting Kurt to throw his guitar, at which point Dave got up from the stage floor. During the end-of-show destruction, Kurt and Krist repeatedly smashed their guitars together, with the final impact shattering Krist's bass and sending chunks of wood into the crowd.

Set (incomplete) unknown (take 1) • jam • Where Did You Sleep Last Night • Here She Comes Now (take 1) • Here She Comes Now (take 2) • unknown (take 2) Notes The performance took place in Jingle Production Room 2. The session was a co-production between the Dutch radio stations VPRO and VARA, recorded for their shows Nozems-a-GoGo and Twee Meter De Lucht In, respectively. The band reportedly played/jammed for about three hours. Since the studio crew did not know when the songs started, they recorded intermittently throughout the session. The band was asked to play "Polly" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but Kurt didn't want to. Kurt reportedly arrived at the studio later than Krist and Dave and kept walking in and out of the studio during the session. The unknown song was also performed at the 12/04/91 show. At the end of the session, after Kurt and Dave ran away, Krist said, "We know when we fuck up," and left.

The show was advertised as featuring "very, very special (American) guests" on flyers handed out after the 11/29/91 show. Consequently, many people showed up hoping to see Nirvana. At the show, it was announced that Nirvana would not be playing, so most of the audience left. However, Kurt and Dave ended up playing. Kurt played acoustic guitar and sang, Dave played acoustic bass, and Krist didn't play at all. The band played five songs in front of an audience of about twenty people.

At some point, either at soundcheck or, more likely, during the encore, Kurt switched to bass and Krist switched to guitar, as shown in some of the photos from the show. After one verse and one chorus of "Polly," Kurt went into "(New Wave) Polly," which the band played in its entirety. The last unknown song was also performed at the 11/25/91 radio session.

12/06/91 - The Greenwood (Tonight with Jonathan Ross), London, United Kingdom

Soundcheck #1 Lithium Soundcheck #2 Lithium Set Territorial Pissings Notes Kurt didn't show up for the afternoon soundcheck, leaving Krist and Dave to rehearse "Lithium," which they planned to play on the show. Kurt arrived an hour before the show, and the full band rehearsed "Lithium" this time. During the show, instead of "Lithium," the band decided to do an extremely forceful version of "Territorial Pissings." The show's crew could not make out the lyrics, so they stuck to the rehearsed shooting script for "Lithium" as the band played "Territorial Pissings."
