Notes: Supposedly this is Nirvana's last show, known as the famous "Roma" bootleg. Certainly it is one of the band's final performances since 10 days later Kurt Cobain overdosed on champagne and tranquilizers in his Rome hotel room. Superb sound and an unbelievably tight, enthusiastic performance covering all of their three studio LPs. Thanks Joshua! "XXII II MCMXCIV" - orignal commercially produced bootleg. DigitalNirvana rates this boot A+/100% (one of the few 100% rated) and says: This is a show that is very common, sounds good enough to be an official release, and should be bought on one title or another by every Nirvana fan. In a recent conversation in the Nirvana Collectors' forum, the sound quality of this disc was determined to be slightly better than that of Roma. For this reason, "XXII II MCMXCIV" receives a grade of 100% while Roma gets 99% (one point subtraction). This is the best disc to get the highest quality complete version of 2-22-94. Although, the 1st song starts abrubtly.

Notes: TAO...The final Nirvana show. Sadly this one lacks the between song banter. Also notable is the setlist, mainly comprised of Nevermind songs. Also Krist is bashing tapers at one point.

I used EAC to extract, no errors reported. I figured this was safer than another transfer off such an old DAT. I have listened to my CD 100 times and I know it is clean. AUD: I received the SHN's via mail trade. SHN's were decoded to wave. Wavmerge used to reassemble the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align & synch both of the sources. SF8.0 was used for noise reduction and EQ of the AUD source. CEP2.0 used to perform the multitrack mixdown. This is a 70% SBD, 30% AUD mix. - Mixed by [email protected] - FLAC conversion done 02-JUNE-2006 - Artwork at 300dpi by [email protected] - For best results print at the highest resolution onto glossy photo paper. Design for use in a clear single jewel case. --------------------------------------------------------- Notes DO NOT let any of the edits dissuade you from checking this out. The final result is a good listen and has excellent sound. Even though there were multiple edits (cuts) on both the SBD and the AUD recordings this version will play for you complete and seamless from start to finish as if there were no cuts or edits whatsoever. The SBD source is excellent with great dynamics and nice frequency range not usually associated with a FM broadcast. Without any info I would have guessed the source was SBD or Pre-FM. The "Live Nirvana Guide" (an excellent resource) does list this as a post-FM copy. There is no DJ talking but in light of the numerous edits on the SBD source it is likely that all DJ comments may have been editing out prior to the bootleg 'XXII II MCMXCIV'. The AUD is very rough. Distant and muddy with an audible hiss. The speed remains relatively consistent throughout with few fluctuations, so I do believe it is in fact from a master recording. The AUD was too rough to mix with the SBD copy without performing some minor DSP. I applied some noise redux (with a very light hand) and then added some D'EQing. In the end I think this matrix will add some additional depth while simultaneously maintaining the clarity and dynamics of the SBD source. Giving the listener great sound with additional life (i.e. crowd interaction) that is closer to how it sounded that night. --------------------------------------------------------- Edits Track 7 During the crowd cheer between "Sliver" and "Dumb" the SBD was missing approx. 21.701 seconds. The AUD was trimmed to match with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and cross- fades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 10 During the crowd cheer between "About A Girl" and "Lithium" the SBD was missing approx. 9.044 seconds. The AUD was trimmed to match with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and crossfades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 13 Tape flip on AUD source resulted in a cut at the start of "School". Missing approx. 5.014 seconds. For the rear channel I made a small patch using matrix mix of the SBD source and a different portion of the AUD recording that contained just crowd noise. This "matrix mix patch" was inserted into the AUD with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and crossfades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 13 The last 1.304 seconds of "School" was missing on the SBD source. The AUD and the SBD both received several creative edits to make a smooth flow to the after the song crowd cheer. These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 13 During the crowd cheer between "School" and "Polly" the SBD was missing approx. 33.408 seconds. The AUD was trimmed to match with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and cross- fades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 18 During the crowd cheer between "Territorial Pissings" and "All Apologies" the SBD was missing at least 1 min 23.470 seconds. The exact amount is unknown as the AUD tape was also missing some crowd cheer. This appears to have been the encore break. The AUD was trimmed to match with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and crossfades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 19 During the crowd cheer between "All Apologies" and "On A Plain" the SBD was missing approx. 25.943 seconds. The AUD was trimmed to match with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and crossfades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. Track 21 During the crowd cheer between "Scentless Apprentice" and "Heart-Shaped Box" the SBD was missing approx. 17.216 seconds. The AUD was trimmed to match with a few edits (fades, volume adjustments and crossfades). These edits are smooth and most likely undetectable. This project was originally started more than 2 years ago and contains well over 100 hours of editing and sound engineering. After frustratingly slow progress and giving up on the project several times I am happy to finally put this one to rest. The project was in part made possible by a new technique employed where I actually mapped out the AUD source. This was critical in synching both sources. Visually the AUD source did not give me much to work with. It is also very likely the source was made from quite a distance as the high hat and bass drum traveled to the Microphone used in the AUD recording at quite different speeds.
