Great article, I remember getting bootlegs such as 'banned for life' back in early 1993. I was blown away by tracks such as 'downtown','what else could I be','just happy' and 'wreck me'. To find out later I was listening to early live versions in utero tracks. Good times! Cannot replicate that feeling in current times anymore.

Let me have a stab at those song titles.

Downtown... ?

What Else Could I Be - All Apologies

Just Happy - Dumb

Wreck me - Rape Me

downtown is tourettes, the rest is spot on

Thanks Bjorn. I didn't discover Outcesticide until after Kurt's passing. I can't imagine how exciting it would have been hearing a preview of some of those In Utero songs in '93. Did you ever have San Francisco 1993 back then?

What was your very first ever bootleg?

Two classics! Especially Europe 1991.
