How much "touching up", if any, went on during those sessions? Does anyone know?
None when it comes to the vocals. All of the sprucing up was done during mixing, and all things considered, it wasn't all that much. Listen to the Devonshire Mixes to hear what the recordings sounded like untouched.

It's been fun re-visiting the uncontrolled chaos of In Utero with this set. I haven't really been listening to Nirvana for a few years, but very quickly I was transported back to 1993 and I remember that trip to the record store after school to buy In Utero the day it came out. As a grunge-lovin' 16-year-old it pretty much blew me away then, as it did again with this reissue. While nothing drastic changed on the remaster, I really appreciate the 2013 mix and the chance to experience the songs with a slightly different airy-ness about them.
Side-note... Frances Farmer just may be the apex of grunge songwriting. It's a perfect blend of quiet/heavy, slightly off the rails at one point, without losing the great melodic hook.

For a long time I thought that Frances was the best song on this album. Some days I still do.
Is this not the same mix that came in the 20th anniversary box?
I think the box only contained Albini's remaster of his 1993 mix, didn't it?
It's the same at the first 12 tracks of Disc 2 of the 20th Anniversary edition - a new remix by Albini (with input from Dave and Krist) with some alternate guitar solos etc

Encore: 19. Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam 20. The Man Who Sold the World 21. All Apologies 22. On a Plain 23. Scentless Apprentice 24. Heart-Shaped Box 25. Blew
I'm going to listen to the very shitty full audience recording later tonight.

Blew is such a good way to end a show.
Which is why this was their standard set or show closer from early 1988 all the way to this show, which was the last time they ever closed with it. After this show they played it twice, both times immediately before "Heart-Shaped Box" (2/24 and 3/01/1994).
