On January 25, 1992 Hordern Pavilion (Big Day Out), Sydney, Australia If you take a look at Kurt's Mount Rack you would Notice he has a Rack Drawer 3U on it... Not sure how long Kurt kept it in his Mount-Rack as Its not seen at many shows inside his Rack, not much info where it came from or what it was used for. Usually there was a Smaller Mount Rack in back or side of the stage for Kurts Guitar Techs (Nick Close) during the "Nevermind" Tour, and then (Big John Duncan) & (Earnie Bailey) were Kurts Guitar Techs during 1992 up through the In Utero Tour.... Earnie Bailey was Kurts Main Guitar Tech and was with the band from Mid/Late 1992 until March 1, 1994 (Nirvana's Last Show Ever).... had smaller Rack Drawer in the back or on the side of the stage for Kurts Techs who kept extra Guitar Cables, Strings, Duct Tape, pretty much anything that would be needed for a show/tour in case of a quick repair or string change, whichever it maybe.

But if you look at Kurts Mount-Rack at the January 25, 1992 Hordern Pavilion (Big Day Out), Sydney, Australia show Kurt's Mount-Rack from top to bottom...
