The second Outcesticide bootleg of Nirvana material consists mainly of live versions of unavailable tracks (like their hilarious cover of the Doors' "The End") and early live versions of some of their best known songs (like a 1991 recording of the In Utero track "Pennyroyal Tea"). The sound quality is mixed, at best, but some of the versions available are indispensable to Nirvana fans. Highlights include a ten-minute version of "Scentless Apprentice", an early live version of "Heart-Shaped Box" with the solo they omitted from the studio version, a 1993 live performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with Flea (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers) on trumpet, and an energetic in-store acoustic performance of "Negative Creep". Of the otherwise unavailable songs, the most revealing is a snippet of a recording by Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love titled "It's Closing Soon", which is an unfinished song, and despite the poor recording, gives a glimpse into their private creative collaborations. The other two originals - "Help Me" and "In His Hands" - were clearly not meant to be released officially, as these versions are shaky at best, and bad at worst.
