I can't describe what I'm feeling now, but this is a true treasure. Thanks a lot to Mr. Ziegler, my year keep getting better and better despite all the stuff going on.
Yeah man his fingertips were all calloused smashed and stretched and appeared like working man's fingers. Spatulas. I've been practicing hard using hard rock from my 13 years old self had a wide range off available popular music. From not so hard Ccream dire straits, Steelie Dan, Kansas inspired The Prodigy was cool with Sepultura Slayer, Dream Theater and Helmet on the same bill blew my mind. BLACK F I N G SABBATH acdc Seattle NIRVANA I was 10 in 88. Guns n Rose's beastie boys. Rushs 2112 was one record I had my hands on bye 1988 I had a copy of bleach after Nevermind and Bleach after That because of the 1000 copy issue Nirvana was the Stuff the first mainstream punk Skater Rock head sounds. Very contemporary Artsy style brought the Punk and Thrash music bye late 1991 while in jr high. I'd seen Metallica and the Greateful dead and job that year hol crap. Tickets for 4 shows I mentioned bye 1992. I along with the universe was waiting for announcement of 1994 or 1995 Nirvana Tour. Man the deaths of Kurt and Jerry them years changed the progressive mind of music. Both were part of large music scenes. Keep the rock alive
You can hear a big difference just right at the start compared to their 1987 session with Aaron. Like Endino said, Aaron had a more simple playstyle compared to Dale. It's quite interesting to see how powerful Love Buzz just sounds compared to the 1987 session. Thanks a lot Mike for this treasure!
Holy crap... the quality here is amazing for what it is. Just unbelievable that this surfaced and that it sounds so good. Thanks for posting. Edit: Dale is a beast.
Imagine finally getting a video Source of Nirvana older than the Community World Theater Show in Tacoma 23.1.1988.. would be the ultimate christmas present!
Right ? One of my favorite Nirvana songs ever the melody and feeling attached to it ! I think it’s like an underground version of You Know You’re Right, though this one is pretty underground you’ll know what I mean or not ;)
@@soupcat5728 Kurt did say odd things at times and had a real dedication to his music. He did want Floyd the barber to be the opening track on the album and it was part of their set from the beginning but it's still an odd thing to say. Especially given how he introduced the MTV unplugged concert
@@anytimecowboy I assume he already knew by this point (early 1988) that Floyd would end up on what was gonna be known as “Bleach”. Sometimes when you’re jamming with friends and fuckin’ around, you pretend you’re already a rock star playing to an audience. My guess is he was acting out what he would say in front of a real crowd before playing that song. Remember Nirvana wasn’t even Nirvana yet, they were “Ted Ed Fred” and they had only played parties and small dive gigs at this point. Kurt’s clairvoyance is interesting however as Floyd is arguably one of the best tracks on Bleach. It’s like he already knew how much people would like that simple, but raw and catchy beast of a song.
They may have referred to that KAOS recording as an album, as that's all they'd really done up to that point but it would have been a milestone for them at that time.
Most bands of the 80's just let their casette-recorders run and called the results 'Albums'. Several of my classmates were in bands and they had the tape recorders running whenever they went out on a stage. And as far as I know none om my classmates ever made a real 'album' they sold copies of their tapes, though.
Truly an early Christmas gift for us nirvana fans :) I don’t even care abt the audio quality, gotta give credit to Ziegler for digging up this treasure
It´s crazy how much songs like Paper Cuts evolved from this rehearsal to the Endino session, in just a couple of weeks. They must´ve practiced every single fucking day!
Holy holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...... This is an amazing Xmas present!!! Just found out today I won't get to see my mum over Xmas, but this makes it hurt a little less... Thanks so so much Wizard....
As much as I love Chad's drumming, you can see why Kurt became frustrated with him after having played with a drummer like Dale who was super tight and powerful. This is an amazing upload.
Hey, thanks for the upload. It's great to hear another version of each song....And this version of Erectum (Raunchola) is the best I've heard. Very cool.
Holy shit! Never thought we'd ever be hearing stuff like this. The Dale demo is possibly my favourite Nirvana material (not saying it's the best just a personal thing!) so this is going to be a real treat. Thank you for sharing this!
@@koty4968 there is no such vst to do that automatically, it would have to analyse one track and then apply those pitch/ tempo modulation curves to the other track, effectively lowering the quality of one of the tracks with pitch manipulation artefacts. doing that by hand for 40 mins of audio would also be hell. It is more highly likely that whatever they were recording on was stereo IMO it was only 1988, the high of mass produced cassette technology and stereo input decks were in abundance. the oddness you may be hearing in the stereo track is likely phase issues (common with in-built stereo mics, or just using two little microphones which were also common for decks at the time). interesting thought though.
@@AnotherWorldYT Notice that left and right channels are not playing at the exact same time. Right channel has significantly more drums and bass sounds and much less vocal. Also, why Love Buzz is mono?
This would have given Kurt a vision to reach for. It was done once, so it was only a matter of putting it back together again like this. Drums is so essential in rock music.
There's an interview with Mrs Crover talking about all the bands rehearsing in her living room. I can't remember where now, probably in the Melvins documentary. She was incredibly supportive.
I am a Nirvana fan since 1997 and I have heard this recording, only read about it... that it was recorded. Nirvana is still producing new material, epic
This is an absolute jewel Brother, just when you think you've heard just about all the Nirvana tapes our there...... Love the overall sound quality and the fact that they sound tight AF here. Keep up the superb work.
Its their own fault. They had another drummer Dave Foster who, while a few steps down from Crover, was still miles ahead of Channing. But because he didnt have "the look" they kicked him out without even telling him.
@@jmill3147 I believe it was more than just a 'look'. They felt uncomfortable with each other as people. Foster was also more of a mainstream metal -fan
So cool to finally hear "Erectum" more crisp and clear than the Tacoma live version. Also, good to have the proper name attached to it after all these years.
Thanks Mike for this for me a Christmas gift, it is more than great to hear Kurt with 21 years and also with "Love Buzz", one of my favorite songs, I love that sound so good and homemade, hear and feel his genius in freedom as he liked to play, before fame would overwhelm him so much ... I love you Nirvana and you Kurt I always have you in my thoughts ...👏🏼🎶🎸💗🤘
Wow. Really appreciate this, man. Amazing quality for a 1988 recording. Here we can get a better picture of Dale's abilities. "Mexican Seafood" live? good lord!

Why do I see you in the comments of every Nirvana related video ever? lol
@@valle4483 Just love that band a lot.
@@Tomnedreb respect for being up at 1:53 am listening to nirvana same as me
@@Tomnedreb Yeah must say I adore them a lot too. Just wondering did you ever get the chance to see them live? Sadly I wasn't alive at the time :/
Closest conjuction of Jupiter & Saturn since 1226. Oh, and new Nirvana.

Everyone complaining about 2020, but my life has always sucked, so this amount of Nirvana is a net positive on the year.
Word. 💯. Stay up homie.
Indeed. I been self isolating for 37 years

To think Kurt was not yet 21 as of this recording... Goes to show you that talent and hard work go hand in hand. Thanks for the upload!
So true. Talent and hard worth along with a strong vision with nothing to fall back is what made it work.

Dale Crover on drums is killing! Especially that rhythm in Love Buzz! Kind of great
Psst... wrong drummer, bruv.....
@@neviatha psssst.... Right drummer... Dumbo......
@@neviatha hwo do you even mess that up? It says CROVER residents...
Those tom rolls are so on point... you can hear every single hit. And the ride.... this recording is fckng BEAST.
@@neviatha You must be thinking of the 1987 rehearsal. Aaron drummed on that one and yes he was okay but...okay.

Yeah Dale is a very intense drummer. But I think Aaron was good. They didn’t need a super intricate drummer I think at least.

Creo que ya hace falta otro review de Nirvana
Hola
“If you must” is such an underrated masterpiece
This is a great version/recording.
@Corey Bakers RUclips Channel I’m definitely gonna try this with my band now haha
Are you related to Rob Trujillo?
yeah, but kurt dosen't like that song
Right ? One of my favorite Nirvana songs ever the melody and feeling attached to it ! I think it’s like an underground version of You Know You’re Right, though this one is pretty underground you’ll know what I mean or not ;)
Can we all take a moment and adore those drum fills on Love Buzz?! That woulda been a crazy fuckin single!
At 32:25 just before Floyd he says, 'this is off our first album', that's an odd thing to say at this time
Yeah I picked that up, as bleach wasn’t released till June ‘89 and the recording started later in ‘88 I think.
@@soupcat5728 Kurt did say odd things at times and had a real dedication to his music. He did want Floyd the barber to be the opening track on the album and it was part of their set from the beginning but it's still an odd thing to say. Especially given how he introduced the MTV unplugged concert

Dale just slays. He fits perfectly for what Kurt was trying to do.
I love it when Dale plays in Nirvana, the guy is a tremendous drummer.
I am literally shaking with joy, I cannot thank you enough for all of this. Not in a million years.
Truly an early Christmas gift for us nirvana fans :) I don’t even care abt the audio quality, gotta give credit to Ziegler for digging up this treasure
Pure energy. Pure power
This is really surprisingly good
I agree with you.
MY SPIRIT IS VERY GRATEFUL
I thought the Blandest live recording was great, but this?
This is gold!
NIRVANA is the cure for COVID-19in 2020 .🎸🎸🥁🎶🎵🎶🎵
It´s crazy how much songs like Paper Cuts evolved from this rehearsal to the Endino session, in just a couple of weeks. They must´ve practiced every single fucking day!
You're right, I was just thinking how primitive Paper Cuts sounds
Holy holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...... This is an amazing Xmas present!!! Just found out today I won't get to see my mum over Xmas, but this makes it hurt a little less... Thanks so so much Wizard....
Agree this is amazing \m/
As much as I love Chad's drumming, you can see why Kurt became frustrated with him after having played with a drummer like Dale who was super tight and powerful. This is an amazing upload.
Yeah, Chad was a huge downgrade in terms of drumming. I love the dude though.
@@SonikJesus Definitely owed his dues, in terms of recognition.
Chad is a really nice guy, but Dale is also a nice guy and one of America's best rock drummers.
Hey, thanks for the upload. It's great to hear another version of each song....And this version of Erectum (Raunchola) is the best I've heard. Very cool.
It sounds very 70s ish.
Didn't think prowalk tours was a Nirvana fan 😂
OH MY GOD I ALMOST PASSED OUT
You and me both
Dale is amazing !
Cobain was also a drummer, I think that´s why his riffs were so good.
I´m so glad they´ve been recording everything. That´s why we have so many masterpiece tapes and bootlegs by them.
Holy shit! Never thought we'd ever be hearing stuff like this. The Dale demo is possibly my favourite Nirvana material (not saying it's the best just a personal thing!) so this is going to be a real treat. Thank you for sharing this!
7:16
Definition of tightness in a band.
Awesome document, thanks so much Mike!!!!
A practice tape in stereo? Unreal!
sounds like two sources mixed
@@koty4968 if both of those sources were recorded on tape, there's no way they'd match up due to the fluctuation of time/ tempo between sources.
@@AnotherWorldYT it could be corrected while mixing.
@@koty4968 there is no such vst to do that automatically, it would have to analyse one track and then apply those pitch/ tempo modulation curves to the other track, effectively lowering the quality of one of the tracks with pitch manipulation artefacts. doing that by hand for 40 mins of audio would also be hell.

amazing drumming, also bass sounds very rough, and always Cobain unique voice
Thanks for existing, Mike.
The best present I got in years...
This is like the fucking holy grail in my eyes!!! Love Buzz with Crover!!!
I think he overcomplicated the drums on this version though. Think Chads parts for love buzz were more fitting.
Same. Probably the only song where Chad sounds better than Crover. Oh and In Bloom.
@@JackSmith-kp2vs I always liked love buzz but thought it was a bit bland, I really liked this version.
I think it’s one of those songs that’s a lot better live. Dave grohls drums when they played the paradiso Amsterdam really was amazing
Pen Cap Chew without fading away as its on known tapes. Very nice, thank you for downloading
Crover is a drum monster
Who downvoted this?! I will fight you!
So THAT’S Erectum! Of course another version of that song is on With the Lights Out under a different name. Finally the mystery is over!!!
I mean, we’ve known this for years at this point. But it’s amazing to hear another version of this song
Fuckin awesome!!!! Love hearin early Nirvana!!!
Was lucky enough to see em 6 times 89-94
Such a waste Courtney had him killed
Lovely. The closest I'll get is my phone screen watching concert footage. 😂
My fav is the last song, Krist Novoselic on vocal!
Thanks Mike! This is a really special find.
HOLY SHIT!
Can’t believe this wasn’t owned by the estate
CORPORATE ESTATE STILL SUCKS
@@purorockyaguita THATS RIGHT, I hope that the estate dosent own that final recording on the 25th march 1994 (prob does)
@@elliaesr3180 I guess they have all the 93,94 SBD Material because no one has surfaced
Melvins FTW
@@purorockyaguita It’s rumored that only one person owns all of the DAT 93-94 recordings. There’s really no management of the band anymore.
Some great riffs, like that "interlude" in Mexican Seafood. Kurt was great with riffs and melodies.

This would have given Kurt a vision to reach for. It was done once, so it was only a matter of putting it back together again like this. Drums is so essential in rock music.
Oh my! This is a treasure!
