Surfaced:
• Audio. 01:20:15. The sound quality is sometimes poor. There’s a skip during the Old Age intro. There’s a cut or skip during Awful and the sound gets bad. There are two fade outs in between Boys On the Radio and Northern Star (before the encore).
• PRIV-shot Video. (Length unknown). Audience shot.
📄 Transcript


Hole Lineup: Courtney Love (Guitar/Vocals), Eric Erlandson (Guitar), Melissa Auf der Maur (Bass/Background Vocals), and Samantha Maloney (Drums).

Other Bands: Queens of the Stone Age

Notes:
• Courtney announced that Coca Cola had bought up a lot of seats at the venue and they were left empty. She invited fans in the audience to rush forward and fill the seats.
• Several fans were brought up from the audience to sit on stage. At one point, a five year old girl was brought on stage. Courtney said, “You need to like The Spice Girls. Put her over there. I don’t want a five year old up here.”
• It was raining during the show.
Miss World was interrupted so Courtney could kick a guy off the stage. “You’re totally the kind of guy that fucking picks on gay people. I fucking hate you, get off this stage…go build a pipe bomb…or please don’t, please don’t build a pipe bomb.”
• The only known live performance of We Need the Truth.
• The earliest known concert performance of 20 Years in the Dakota. The band had played the song at a session with Y100 radio in Philadelphia on May 15, 1999.
• The earliest known performance of Dear Prudence. The song only contains the first line of the Beatles’ song – the rest of the lyrics were improvised by Courtney. The song was teased with the Beatles’ actual lyrics the next night in Santa Barbara.
