I just had a couple of things to tell/ask you. >"SAPPY," "VERSE CHORUS VERSE," AND "IN HIS HANDS" > >It has always been thought that "Verse Chorus Verse" and "Sappy" were two >titles for the same song. However, it was found that songs titled both "Verse >Chorus Verse" and "Sappy" were recorded at the Nevermind sessions. It may be >true that "Sappy" was later retitled "Verse Chorus Verse," but this evidence >proves that they were at one time two different songs, so I now refer to all >versions of the song included on the No Alternative compilation as "Sappy," >which was the song's title until at least 1992. Krist: They are two different songs. >On the back of a t-shirt it has a copy of the original setlist in Kurt's >handwriting from the 4/17/91 Seattle show, which is one of the shows where >the song commonly known as "In His Hands" was played. The setlist is slightly >out of order, which indicates that song order changed around a bit as the >show went on, but where "In His Hands" should be, it says "Verse Chorus >Verse." This, along with the fact that "Sappy" was the No Alternative song's >title at least as late as 1992, may prove that the song traders commonly call >"In His Hands" is really titled "Verse Chorus Verse." > >Basically what I'm trying to find out is if this is correct: > >Is "Verse Chorus Verse" the real name for the commonly referred to "In His >Hands" which was known to be played at the 08/17/90, 11/25/90, and 04/17/91 >shows? > Krist: ?????? I don't know if there ever was a song called "In His Hands" I doubt it. Kurt would get so mad when those willey bootleggers would take it upon themselves to name a song; a song that was never meant to be released. You've got to have standards, you know? Without hearing it, the song is probably "Verse Chorus Verse" >Is "Sappy" the real title for the song on No Alternative? Krist: Yes >If you're planning on using either of these songs on the boxset then i'm sure >this information might be valuable to you. >I'd GREATLY appreciate a reply about this. Any info will help. > >Thanks, >Mike Ziegler >------------------------------------------------- >The Happening: Nirvana Archive >http://happening.digitalnirvana.net Krist: Check out my online auction pre-view soon on my website.
