The Way Performance #1 Is Determined
When A Song Was First Played In Full By Nirvana, The Date Of The
Performance Of The Full Version Is Listed. For Example, During The
8/30/1992, Dave Grohl Plays The Drum Beat For Scentless Apprentice Before
Aneurysm. The List Has Listed The First Performance Date As 1/23/1993,
Because It Was The First Full Performance. When A Song Was Played By
Nirvana, But Not In The Full Version, It Was Listed By The First Short
Performance, Like More Than A Feeling. A Full Performance Takes Preference Over
Short Performances.

I've Made A Few Conclusions About Songs Which Are Actually A Song With A
Different Title. For One, I've Concluded That New Poopy, Which Was
Supposedly Played At MTV Rehearsals In 1992 Is Actually Tourette's. It
First Perfectly In The Scheme Of Things.
