Dale Dave Grohl and Dale double drums

Hey guys just figured to ask , was just looking for a video of Dave playing on stage double drums with Dale during I believe a Melvins set. From early 90s while on tour with Nirvana I’m sure. I swear I saw this video and now I’m tryna look it up not working out haha

I’ll keep looking but anyone have an idea of which show it is thanks

This should narrow down the time period:

The double-drummer idea dates all the way back to the days when Melvins were touring as the opening act for another Aberdeen band called Nirvana.

"It was the very last tour that Nirvana did, and we were having Dave Grohl play drums with us on a few songs, and the next show was going to be him playing the whole set with us," Crover recalled. "And unfortunately, Kurt (Cobain) decided he had laryngitis and canceled the rest of the tour."

Where did you pull that quote from? When I saw this post I was like No that didn’t happen.

I've seen it in interviews and I even think they talk about it in the documentary but I could be wrong about that but it's real and it did happen.

I’m unaware of a video that shows both Dave & Dale playing drums, but here’s an audio of them both playing Night Goat in late ‘93 in Denver.
