Kurt's Cobain's Nirvana plays Dead Kennedys

Before there was Seattle "grunge" (mix of classic rock and dissonant punk rock) there was rebellious punk rock. In 1990, Nirvana (Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Chad Channing) played a little place called the Cattle Club.

Jim McLain (Taperjim) Live at The Cattle Club, Sacramento, California. Straight from the master VHS and Hi-8 tapes with extra-special thanks to Jerry Perry and Shayne Stacy for making their footage available and allowing this to be shown to the world. In addition, Anonymous' audio recording was used in mixing the soundtrack. Thanks to him as well. This is an upgrade from the version that was screened in Sacramento several years ago. Editing and soundtrack mix by Jim McLain.
