Dave would actually end up playing here again in 1996 as a member of Foo Fighters, which is neat that he played for the cause twice. I think Nirvana were the only band at this first event to not have a woman in their line up, though I could be wrong about that. Onto the setlist, it’s pretty good, with everything you’d expect to be played being played. Rape Me has even been added back to the set, I believe it would be on here quite regularly from now on given its appearance at the Paramount Theatre show on Halloween. The audio quality is also, really, really good. I’d give it a 9/10 but the drums sound a little echoey from what I heard. Still, a great show.
