the full show was released on Blu-ray and CD on the 30th anniversary "Super Deluxe" version of Nevermind on November 12, 2021. The Palace, Melbourne version In October 2021, another live version, recorded at The Palace in Melbourne, Australia on February 1, 1992, was released as a streaming single ahead of its appearance on the 30th anniversary edition of the Nevermind.
