Nirvana at the Opera House, Toronto on September 20, 1991.
This was the first night of the North American
Nevermind tour, filmed from the balcony. The album was released four days later.
The band played 31 club gigs from September 20 to October 31, plus a handful of in-store appearances in record stores before returning stateside in late December for a few arena shows on the West Coast, as part of a triple bill with Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining and Pearl Jam opening.
On January 11, 1992, Nirvana performed on
Saturday Night Live the same week that Nevermind reached #1 on the Billboard Album chart.
It is believed that EVERY one of Nirvana's live concerts from 1987-94 was videotaped by someone, and most have surfaced for public enjoyment. This show had minimal distribution before 2003. Most of the 1991 North American Nevermind tour videos don't show the whole band physically, because of other spectators standing between the cameraman and the stage.
I supplied the 2nd generation VHS tape used for the DVD of this show. I bought it in the mid 1990's at a small store on John Street, across from the side of what was then the CITY-TV building on Queen Street.
Video quality is not good, but the sound is decent, and this is true 'historic' video. Props to Alan Deane for the DVD authoring. I made the Xvid version with an app named GordianKnot.
