Description
Cactus Club, San Jose, CA, USA 11th February 1990 SBD
UPGRADE!!! Ultra high quality sound board!!
A soundboard album symbolizing the end of the Chad Channing era has arrived! It will be released on a press CD that will permanently preserve the best masters!
This work is engraved with the “San Jose Performance on February 11, 1990.” It is a superb soundboard recording. 1990 was the era leading from “BLEACH” to the revolutionary “NEVERMIND.” It was a turbulent season, with one masterpiece after another being born and with a rapid turnover of members. Even a slight difference in time can have a completely different meaning. First, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the band’s activities at the time and look at the position of this work.

This was NIRVANA in 1990. It was the biggest turning point, with four drummers replaced in less than six months, but this San Jose performance was the final tour before the upheaval began. It was the fifth performance of “North America #1.” Speaking of symbols of 1990, the soundboard press masterpiece “THE OFF RAMP CAFE, SEATTLE 1990 (Zodiac 750)” is also a classic, but this work is a different soundboard with a different time and set, and above all, Chad Channing sitting on a stool.
This show is famous for the powerful soundboard recordings that were left behind. This work is a masterpiece created from that best master. The sound created from the DAT clone of the original soundboard master is extremely thick and ultra-realistic. It is a direct-to-table system that is not a so-called broadcast system, so cheers are almost inaudible. A slight disturbance can be heard during the MC between songs, but it is also far and small, like the next room.
The complete opposite is the super-thick performance sound and vocals. They blast out of the speakers raw and unprocessed, and then they approach you like a concrete wall of sound…or rather, they hit you. The vocals and drums in particular are so powerful that they swell inside your skull with Kurt’s roar, and you can experience an other-dimensional sense of synchronization that makes your whole body feel like it’s filling up.
Such a pleasant soundboard depicts the precious stage at the end of the Chad Channing era. The set was short, about 44 minutes, probably because local bands VEGAS VOODOO and PLASTIC JUNGLE also appeared as opening acts, but that’s why it was so dense. Let’s organize the contents of the set here.

・Incesticide: Molly’s Lips / Dive / Stain / Been A Son

In addition to that set, the highlight of this day was the trouble that occurred on the scene. After “Spank Thru” ended, Chris got angry at the commotion at the venue. Let’s write it down for a moment.
“That guy! He’s alone, isn’t he? You guys aren’t security guards. Hey! Leave him alone. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? You. Hey security! Go to hell. Here. I’m giving you bodyguards the middle finger. Leave him alone. This is how you give a cool middle finger. No, this is the middle finger.”
Apparently, he was angry at the security guard for treating the fan roughly, but the show was not canceled and he spoke kindly to the fan and the show resumed.
A magma pool filled with the energy that will change the world in a small club. This is the pinnacle of the legendary soundboard that will imprint the vivid scenes of the “BLEACH” era in your mind. Please experience the pleasure of being completely in sync with the ensemble of the Chad Channing era with this best master work.
This is an ultra-raw soundboard recording from the “February 11, 1990 San Jose concert,” the final days of the Chad Channing era. The sound, created from a DAT clone of the original soundboard master, is incredibly thick and ultra-realistic. The performance and vocals are raw and unprocessed, blasting out of the speakers and crashing into you like a concrete wall of sound. This legendary soundboard masterpiece will imprint the vivid scenes from the “Bleach” era, including Chris’s altercation with the security guard.
