NOTE: By the time of the gig, Nirvana had displaced the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, from the top of the US charts with “Nevermind”.
Peter Spicer, who was 23 at the time and that year co-founded Canberra entertainment mag BMA with Lisa Howdin, had a media pass and remembers the crush as the venue's 1875 capacity was exceeded. ''There would have been about 2000 people inside and about 2500 outside,'' Spicer said. As the band moved through Come As You Are, Lithium and into Teen Spirit, the crowd outside began trying to force its way in.
Amidst the chaos, fights broke out, venue doors were broken down, and the police arrived in riot gear.
The remaining members of Nirvana still recall the ANU gig as one of the wildest nights of their short touring career.
