This version:

Deshaked + QTGMC for 50fps (Select 720p50 using the gear icon for the higher frame rate).
Camera audio was replaced with circulating AUD1.
This show took place one day after Reading 1991 (8/23/91) and ~a month before the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind" album (released Sept 24, 1991).
More Notes form Part from Nirvanaguide.com:
--
The headlining bands cut their sets short so Nirvana, who missed their performance slot after supposedly getting caught in traffic and/or at customs, could squeeze in a 30-minute set. However, according to the band's former agent, the band intentionally showed up late so they wouldn't have to play so early in the day.
Nirvana played using Rausch's equipment, resulting in Kurt and Krist playing on the opposite sides of the stage as usual.
Compiled by Copperpot5 I'm always looking for uncirculated Nirvana Video/Audio. If you taped Nirvana back in the day or happen to have any uncirculated Nirvana media please shoot me a message or email. Thx! Email: Jaycopperpot at gmail dot com)

I have listened to Nirvana my whole life. My uncle told me that when my grandfather was alive, he told him that one day a rock band would come and would kill all the other rock bands. When he first heard Nirvana, my grandfather said that band has arrived. I will never forget my grandfather, and his wise words. RIP grandpa, you’re up there jamming with Kurt now. Tell him I said hi. I know in my heart that he will see this comment and smile.

As the story goes, the boys were very late for this appearance, so much so that they missed their scheduled slot. All the other bands agreed to shorten their own performances so Nirvana could squeeze in 30 mins on stage. To most spectators in the audience, nirvana were complete unknowns. As you can see, the band completely won over the crowd within 10 minutes of playing. It's funny to hear all the boos at the end of this video as the crowd were really upset that band's set was so short. This is up in their top 5 performances of their careers imo. Pure magic, I fuckin love Nirvana 🤘🤘🤘

That's correct - I was there and can be seen in the crowd... As far as I remember Nirvana came then from a touring Netherlands and they should have had big trouble at the dutch-german border because of drugs... Bands like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr and Grant Hart shortened their sets due to those circumstances. Monsters of Spex was really a great show - what a fantastic line up for very little money. Those were the days of wine and roses

Please upvote this post: EVERY CAMERAMAN IN THE WORLD should take note of this: the BEST camerawork I have ever seen for any rock band, EVER, is the way this video was shot. The camera is STATIONARY and pointed at Kurt (e.g. the 20:00 mark). 1.) Point the camera at the star 2.) Leave the camera ALONE! That's it! I believe fans love this, to just watch and stare at the star. Nowadays, all this "fancy" camera work (like changing the camera angle with each drum beat) is irritating to no end. The old style "point the camera and leave it alone" ROCKS!

Luke Haines was right: "Nirvana were a force of nature". You can see that long applause at the end... the audience were highly excited by this brief and extraordinary show. That very moment (the crowds reaction) reflected a glimpse of the upcoming phenomenon that the group would become a month later. Many people who didin't know them at this time realise they weren't just any band, they were something else. The energy of the band was at its best.
