This show was a benefit supporting C.U.R.S.E. in it's attempt to prevent The University of Washington's KCMU-FM from switching it's format away from new rock music to a bland baby-boomer format. It was professionally filmed and portions of this show were released as a promo to support their Spring 1993 tour. Before Dead Love, Mark starts telling the crowd what the grunge fashion will be for the coming seasons. Police use Seattle's draconian Teen Dance Ordinance to shut down the show. According to Promoter Dave Meinert, "The Seattle Police arrived shortly and told me since kids were present and they looked like they were dancing, the event did require a (teen-dance) permit."
