A consolidation and chronology of all official Nirvana releases and recording dates.
This site was first written as a document in January 2006 just after the 'Sliver, Best Of The Box' compilation was released, and distributed via a PDF. Since then a lot of extra detail has surfaced or been corrected on recordings, and further compilation albums and reissues have appeared. After re-reading 'Heavier Than Heaven' by Charles R. Cross in 2020 my interest was renewed enough to revisit the document and turn it into this web site. The original 2006 version (v1.0) can be found here, converted into a web page for easier reading. The first rewrite (to v2.0) can be found here. Recent revisions to v2.1 have corrected a few errors, added all remaining Nirvana / Kurt Cobain released up to the end of 2023, and made the whole site a bit prettier to look at.
This site is not an attempt to document every Nirvana performance. This has been done countless times by others on far better pages than mine. The intent is to show when/where each released performance was recorded, and the loose order they were recorded and released in. It is really just designed as a reference for my own collection, but hopefully you can find it useful also.
