And here is a live performance of the song from 1991. It must have been some sort of benefit concert, since before they play bassist Jennifer Finch implores the audience not to do anything "that these people would consider out-of-control...remember why we're here today!" Not the best quality recording, but it gives you something of an idea of the wild energy of live performances those days. Oh, and "Dave from Nirvana" is there on drums, getting a small round of applause in these pre-Smells Like Teen Spirit days.
Apparently, this was an anti-Gulf War protest. I should have guessed that from the date.
