Transcripts & Bootlegs: June – August 1995

Greetings, Hole fans! I’ve finally finished the transcripts for shows from 1995 & the bootleg section for that year is also (mostly) complete. There are a few other things from 1995 that I’ve added as well. This will be the last update for 2025. I hope you all have a good winter & holiday season – and remember to come back to the site in January, because I have big plans for next year. Here’s what will be added in 2026: Celebrity Skin tour transcripts, CS tour bootleg info, and Photos/Reviews/Setlists for Courtney & Melissa’s tours after 1999!

If you haven’t heard the news, we’re anticipating the release of Courtney’s documentary, Antiheroine, premiering at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22. That will be followed by Melissa’s memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A 90s Rock Memoir, hitting shelves on March 17. The book is already available for pre-order. It’s going to be an amazing year for Hole fans – I’m excited to see what happens next.

1993: Kristen, Bootlegs, & other stuff

Greetings everyone. I hope you’re having a nice summer (or whichever season it is in your part of the world). Today, I want to let you all know about a special project. A book is being written about Kristen Pfaff by her brother, Jason Pfaff, and Guy Mankowski. It’s titled I Know How to Live. If you subscribe to their Substack you can read the first volume, listen to recordings, look at never released photos, and many other things. I highly recommend it!

Now, on to site business. The Bootleg section for 1989-1993 is finally complete. The transcripts for shows from 1992-1993 aren’t quite finished yet, but will hopefully be done by next weekend. More content has been added for shows from 1993. BIG NEWS: I’ve learned that the July 12, 1993 show at Vaartkapoen in Belgium, which was previously thought to be cancelled, was actually played – and we have some footage of it in the documentary Not Bad For a Girl. I don’t know where that misinformation came from, but I’m glad it’s cleared up. Here are all the updated sections for this week:
