Nirvana Live Guide
The Nirvana Live Guide was created by Kris Sproul and Shane Virone in 1999 as an updated version of the Nirvana Live Performance and Recordings Guide (created by Rob Holmes). Photographs, memorabilia, and other performers from the Interactive Nirvana Concert Chronology (maintained by Mike Ziegler) were added to the Nirvana Live Guide in 2003. The Nirvana Live Guide aims to be the most accurate and up-to-date guide to Nirvana's live performances available. Additions, corrections, and comments are always welcome.

UPDATE AS OF DECEMBER 22, 2016: The content of the Nirvana Live Guide will soon migrate to a new section on LiveNIRVANA.com called LiveNIRVANA Concert Chronology, where it will be merged with existing content from LiveNIRVANA Tour History. For more information, please see the full announcement.

During the transition period, please submit comments, information additions/corrections, and image additions/upgrades/corrections via email to the LiveNIRVANA.com team.
Performance Listings
Each performance listing contains as much information as is known about the performance. The following is a description of all the information included in each performance listing.

Date/Venue/Location
  • The heading of each performance listing includes the date (MM/DD/YY format), venue (with the name of the event or radio/television show in parenthesis, if applicable), and city of the performance.

Set
  • This is a list of all songs known to have been played at the performance, whether they are available on recordings or not. If the order of the songs played is known, as with most recorded performances, the set is in order. Partial lists, usually taken from reviews or first-hand accounts, are noted as "incomplete."

Notes
  • This includes any miscellaneous information about a performance.

Circulating Recordings
  • This is a list of audio and/or video recordings that are currently in circulation among collectors. The bold line indicates the source identification number and type of recording. If any recording equipment information is known, it will be listed on the next line in signal chain order. The next line indicates the lowest generation of the recording circulating among collectors. For video recordings, both the lowest audio and video generations are listed. The next line indicates the length (rounded up to the nearest 5 minutes) and sound quality rating. Any further lines feature other details about the recording, including releases the recording is available on. This information is provided for informational purposes only. The Nirvana Live Guide does not endorse the sale or distribution of unauthorized recordings.

Uncirculated Recordings
  • This is a list of audio and/or video recordings that are known or thought to exist, but are not in circulation among collectors. Recordings that include only short clips of songs totaling under five minutes are also listed as uncirculated recordings. The bold line indicates the type of recording. The following lines feature other details about the recording, if available. This information is provided for informational purposes only. The Nirvana Live Guide does not endorse the sale or distribution of unauthorized recordings.

Other Performers
  • This is a list of bands/artists other than Nirvana that performed at the concert.
