A legendary and historic night in which the Smashing Pumpkins opened for @nirvana just one day before their explosive album “Nevermind” was released. At the time the Pumpkins’ debut album “Gish” had only been out for about four months and was gaining momentum. That would all change as Nevermind went on to not only be a huge success, but would change the course of history in the rock music world forever. Both Gish and Nevermind were produced by legendary music producer Butch Vig.
A few Nirvana songs from the same night were also captured. The video tape recently surfaced online in 2019. 🎥🤘➡️ ua-cam.com/video/Vxt8x1o3y9s/v-deo.html

The day before Nevermind's release, which Krist mentions during the show, Nirvana performed as part of a ten-band, three-venue festival (alongside the Smashing Pumpkins) for Boston radio station WFNX. A pretty good show and the best recording from the tour so far, highlights include some guitar issues during 'Drain You' and three tour debuts - 'Come as You Are', 'Rape Me', and their first ever performance of 'Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam'.

On the night of September 23, 1991, the members of Nirvana were so bored that they decided to play a new version of Twister. The band unfurled two of the game’s color-coded plastic mats on the stage at Bill’s Bar in Boston. Then they opened a can of Crisco. By this point, bassist Krist Novoselic had stripped down to just black briefs and a pair of white tube socks. Drummer Dave Grohl and lead singer Kurt Cobain then covered him with a thick layer of vegetable shortening.
“He had rubbed Crisco all over his body,” says Jane Sangster, who was there on assignment for MTV. “I was like, ‘What is this?’ I’m this young producer valiantly trying to plug the microphone in and ask questions. It was kind of wild.”
When Sangster inquired into what the hell was going on, Novoselic rubbed his chest, flashed a goofy grin, and said, “We’re playing Crisco Twister!” A few moments later, he and his bandmates started pelting each other with more Crisco. Then the game began. Soon the Smashing Pumpkins, one of four groups on the bill that evening, joined in. Their bass player, D’arcy Wretzky, handled spinner duties.
