Nirvana Kurt Cobain Handwritten 6/18/1991 Setlist at “The Catalyst” - With Smells Like Teen Spirit & First Time “Rape Me” Was Played Live (REAL)

Nirvana Kurt Cobain Handwritten 6/18/1991 Setlist at “The Catalyst” - With Smells Like Teen Spirit & First Time “Rape Me” Was Played Live.

Offered here is a unique piece of Nirvana history, a handwritten setlist by Kurt Cobain for their iconic concert on 6/18/1991 at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA. The setlist contains 14 songs, all handwritten in a black felt tip pen. The setlist had tape residue from being taped on the stage.

This setlist is historic for not only playing their iconic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” months before it was released, but this was the first time "Rape Me" was played live. Krist and Dave were taken by surprise when Kurt launched into the song. They were still talking about it after the show, saying, "What the fuck? We don't even know that song!"

Good, stage used condition.
