The performance took place at the "North Shore Surf" club in the city of Olympia (located south of Seattle), in the state of Washington, USA.
In the three years of the band's existence, until the fall of 1990, "Nirvana" changed no less than five different drummers, until it came to rest with Dave Grohl.
The first meeting of Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic with Dave Grohl was at a "Scream" concert held in San Francisco. Grohl, who was the drummer for "Scream", greatly impressed the two, and when his band broke up shortly after, Kurt and Krist invited Dave to jam with them. The "click" was of course immediate and after several weeks of rehearsals, Grohl held his first "baptism of fire" with "Nirvana". It was on 11/10/1990 at the "North Shore Surf Club", south of Seattle.
The footage below features four songs: "Love Buzz", a cover of "Shocking Blue", and "Scoff" from the debut album "Bleach"; "Sliver", released as a single in September 1990 and later included on "Incesticide"; and "Turn Around", a "Devo" cover whose studio recording appeared on the "Hormoaning" EP in 1992.
Dave Grohl later said that Kurt and Krist also chose him because of the fact that he could sing.
Less than a year after this historic event, "Nirvana" will completely change the face of the music world when they release the masterful album "Nevermind".
