Anyone who saw Hole in its heyday literally already has a space in paradise. She did it so well the songs sounded like the studio recordings.

[@deadbird1229]

I've watched/listened to a lot of Hole's performances, and I honestly feel this is one of the best they gave-perhaps the best. Courtney's vocals are flawless here, and everyone was surprisingly composed. Much of the performances they gave during this era were either complete disasters or disasters that happened to be insanely compelling. This show is equal parts intense and professional, and is proof that, drugs and neuroses aside, Courtney and this band were great performers and musicians.

[@CanadianHorseFace]

I agree. The 94-95 Hole era was a mess, but this performance is almost flawless.

[@mikabrabant8169]

drownsoda merci nirvana elle peut dire

[@deadbird1229]

​@@CanadianHorseFace the "Doll Parts" performance at the end is the best live rendition of that song I've seen. I really liked the jangly guitar in it, but moreover, Courtney's voice was in perfect form (which it's often not). I've seen performances where she struggles to make those screams work in the outro, but it's impeccable here.

[@caranelson7457]

Right? I kept thinking, "I don't think I ever heard them sound this good." Her persona has overshadowed Live Through This over the years, but that album was amazing.

[@baller-vh2kn]

Yes she sounds boss. Maybe the early days they had shitty equipment and video sound? ;) and or she's not so messed up. I think she's just feeling it this evening. I wonder why when bands play on Letterman or whatever they sound flawless but at a concert it can be a disaster?

[@maxventure4142]

If she had just done this, Hole, she would be one of the greatest Rock and Roll Stars of all time. And Hole, one of the great bands as well.

In the first 3 minutes you can tell that they had it going on in this show. When she wanted to she could put on a damn good show. Her band for the most part were always on, It just depended on what Courtney you got for the night.

[@AmericanDischord]

Pure facts.

[@davasmith7476]

if i could go back in time i would go to this era or earlier just to see hole play. one thing that always bugs me tho is that courtney truly never seems to really play her guitar... like, ever. maybe on the unplugged. but she always seems to just strum a little bit and the rest is like, pretend. Still HER VOICE

[@sonicboy19]

@Aaron Finch I agree. On later tours I agree that her guitar is rarely audible but it definitely is here and in the years prior to this. I think the assumption that she's not playing is due to the fact that she has difficulty screaming and playing at the same time, but that actually works fine because her main contribution on guitar is to add some grungy rythmic counterpoints to Eric's clean leads, and to add some depth and fill, which is only needed in between the screams anyway. She definitely has a unique rhythmic sense that is very much a part of their early sound and is noticeably different from the way Eric plays. I saw them in 95 and I was quite impressed with their ability to sound as ferocious and layered and complex as they did with only two guitars. Certainly most of that is due to the fact that Eric is highly underrated, but I was equally impressed by Courtney's contributions. They were definitely in top live form here...it's too bad that there don't seem to be any pro-shot recordings of full shows from this era other than Unplugged, which is brilliant in a different way for sure, but Hole's biggest strength live was the sheer force of their power, which is impossible to fully capture with a camcorder. I'm definitely thankful these recordings exist and thankful that they're being shared, but man wouldn't it be amazing if an unreleased pro-shot recording with soundboard audio from this era suddenly turned up! There are some from the Celebrity Skin era that are quite good, but they never quite match the power of their earlier shows.

[@kckstnd8]

I saw hole play at toads place(small club) in new haven, Connecticut in October of 1994. I can tell you her guitar was 1000% plugged in and she played. Check out the bootleg from that show it’s on KZbin.

[@rubbersoul420]

she's definitely playing and playing well

[@izawhacked]

I met my wife at the Hole concert, the month prior. She overheard me tell my friend that i was heading to the front, i ended upwith a crazy/beautiful woman cuz its appropriate, right..?

as another biracial person, i don’t really believe that that’s a legitimate excuse. first of all, courtney has said so many racist things in the past it’s not even fuckin funny. she didn’t say the n word just one time, she’s said it a bunch of times. second of all, courtney and her band hole are supposed to be a part of the punk rock subculture. she can’t be if she says the n word. racism isn’t punk.
