Notes: Living Wreck and Make it Now are performed for the first known time. The guys started fooling around on their instruments after Here Comes Sickness, and Mark told the crowd that they were playing a song by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. During the break in In 'N' Out of Grace, Mark began a soliloqy: "It's not an overwhelming problem, but it still is a problem: people sitting on other people's shoulders during a rock 'n' roll concert. I remember trying to see Aerosmith and fucking having to bob all over the place just to see the big old buldge in Steven Tyler's crotch...So if you could, just let everyone see. I know we're not the most beautiful band, but we're something" After he finished with that, he went into a spiel on Scientology, talking about how all these bands from Seattle have become successful because of it: "We've bought into Scientology and we have a career. Nirvana bought into Scientology and they have a career. Pearl Jam... Soundgarden... Alice in Chains... The Fall-Outs? They haven't bought into shit and they don't have nothing. Gas Huffer? Half of them have bought into Scientology and half of them might have a career."4/4/92 Sub Pop Ultra Lame Fest. The Paramount Theater. Seattle, WA

Notes: Steve introduced Make it Now with, "this is kind of a new song. This song came about when me and Matt decided to write a song, and then Mark and Matt teamed up and it became a new song." Mark added, "that's the cool thing about being in a group," to which Steve said, "one plus two plus three plus four." Mark corrected him: "no, one plus ONE plus one plus one." Matt introduces Touch Me I'm Sick by saying "Here's a song Steve wrote about butt-fucking his brother." Then Steve says, "but I wrote it with Mark, damn it. Matt was watching from the other room, all frustrated. Finally, Mark interjects and says "Here we are, talking, and you understand what we're saying. We're like one big family. I mean, we're Mudhoney, you're Mudhoney, we're a part of you, and you're a part of us. It's so great. I want to come home with you and meet your parents. I want to play this little number for you because I know your parents will understand, and your parents will love us." Then Steve says "My parents love us" and they play the song. During the jam, Dan handles the vocals and says "pussy" over and over. This is the first known time this recurring jam has been performed.4/30/92 PC 69 Bielefeld, Germany

Notes: It was raining quite heavily through out the festival, and the audience begins throwing mud on the stage. The band suprises everyone by throwing it back right before they launch into Touch Me I'm Sick. At one point, Mark tells the audience that they can't aim. Immediately after that he catches a mudball in the face. During their set, L7 did their part to dissuade mudball's when their drummer took the tampon that she was using and threw it out at the crowd.9/21/92 Red Rocks. Morrison, CO

Notes: I'm Spun is performed for the first known time. After This Gift, Steve and Dan fool around on a riff for a few seconds, prompting Steve to tell the crowd that they've just learned a new song, She's On it. Matt then goes, "we learned a song? I don't know it. How does it go?" When they come out after the encore break, Matt announces that they're going to play a song called Lukin on Cocaine. After thinking for a second, he renames it Big Man on Cocaine. During the song, Matt sings while Mark plays bass. When it finishes, he remarks, "we did it in Vancouver better."12/4/92 The Palladium.

Notes: Mark opens with, "it sure is great to be gay and living in Tulsa." You Got it falls apart during the second verse, so Steve begins again, and they jump in right where they left off. The Money Will Roll Right in is performed much mellower than normal. When Tomorrow Hits is introduced by Mark with, "now we're going to play a real kick-ass rock 'n' roll song." Matt has bass troubles all night, and after No End in Sight is fooling around on his bass, trying to figure out what's wrong. Mark says, "great solo. Mr. light man, put a spotlight on Matt Lukin... Hey, Matt. Your amp is OK, it's your hearing that's going." Mark then begins to tells the crowd that Matt is gay. Matt says that he could be home playing Gameboy instead of dealing with this, and Mark jokes, "yeah, GameBOY," to which Matt says, "yeah, like I didn't see that one coming up Sixth Avenue." At that point, Dan plays the drum fill that's done after a cheesy joke. Mark goes, "I just flew in from Pheonix, and boy are my arms tired." Dan does the drum fill again, and goes straight into Dead Love.12/5/92 Soma. San Diego, CA (65 min)
