My Rating:  A

Great sounding show.  This is from an analog source, but I find it hard to believe that it's not digital.  Someone in the crowd comments after Breed that it was "louder than anything [he'd] ever heard".  Kurt asks the crowd if they "can really buy crack right across the street from the white house"?  Someone in the crowd comments that "something wierd's goin' on" because "someone brought a cello onstage".  Then he starts to clap (ANNOYING!) and sing the wrong words.  What a loser.  Someone starts to yell "fuck you Kurt".  Kurt and Krist start talking about the Richard Nixon Library.  Kurt wonders if it's in D.C. Krist says it's in San Clamente, CA.  It's about 10 minutes from my house, and I know the guy who runs it.  Not like that matters, Nixon was a dick.  Kurt asks the people after Come As You Are not to throw any more moccasins.  Kurt coughs out the lyrics for parts of Polly, which sounds really funny.  Then he starts to laugh a little bit.  Dave says that they are "from the other Washington", which draws huge applause from the crowd.  Then he starts to talk about politics.  Someone blows a whistle during Milk It .  I love that little effect.  Do Nuts is an interesting little song.  I don't know much about it, but Kurt basically fucks around and sings some bullshit.  At the end, he flips out and starts to yell at the crowd to throw their shoes and coins at the stage.  My copy cuts the end of Do Nuts before it is quite over, but you get a good 4 minutes of it... very cool
