Nirvana live 10/23/89 - Riverside - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK (NEW SHOW)

liveNirvana.com presents: Nirvana live 10/23/89 - Riverside - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD NEW SHOW LiveNirvana.com is pleased to present a recording of NIRVANA's first concert in the UK (and Europe) which took place on October 23rd 1989 at Riverside, Newcastle upon Tyne. The show was the first on their "Heavier Than Heaven" tour of Europe supporting their debut album 'Bleach'. The survival of documentation of NIRVANA's first concert outside North America is remarkable: a cassette dub of a presumed-lost master tape was found with candle wax melted onto its case, originating from the squat in which it was rescued from. More than 25 years after the event, an Italian Nirvana fan and concert enthusiast was scouring the internet for clues as to this recording's possible existence and in 2015 stumbled across a cryptic reference to the aforementioned tape, in a comment on Facebook. A fellow Nirvana fan in Brazil followed up the lead and the owner kindly allowed LiveNirvana.com to professionally digitize the cassette. Today we can now share it with the world. The band arrived in UK on 21 October 1989 to play a 35-date European tour with Sub Pop label-mates TAD. The Riverside in Newcastle upon Tyne was the first stop on the adventure. The bands joined Mudhoney at the tour's climax at the London Astoria, in a reprise of the Lame Fest held in Seattle earlier in the year. Audience recordings of all UK shows of the 1989 tour are now circulating, which is a testament to the tenacity and hard work of the collectors who have devoted countless hours over decades to tracking them down. This leaves a concert on 29 October 1990 at The Waterfront, Norwich being the only aurally undocumented UK NIRVANA show, alongside incomplete recordings for 01 December 1991 at The Southern Bar, Edinburgh (two and a half songs of which finally surfaced earlier this month) and 03 December 1991 at Rock City, Nottingham. It is further believed that certain UK concerts were videoed, for example Bristol 1991 and Bradford 1991, for which complete footage is not available at the moment.
