Song: Been a Son
Studio Release: Blew (1989), Incesticide (1992)
Show: Paradiso, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Date: 25 November 1991

This show may be one of the more familiar ones to those who own the 'Live Tonight! Sold Out!' video (it's the one with THAT 'Come As You Are). The songs used from this show are four of the most commonly found amongst Nirvana setlists and as such are difficult to evaluate objectively. They are all well played however.

The show itself is very good, one of the best the band played in this period. Its main point of interest is the version of 'Come As You Are' performed here, either the best or worst performance of that song ever played depending on who you ask.

From the live album "From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah"

Lyrics

Grohl - One, two, three, four.

She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance

She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
