Nirvana Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!

This movie shows the best (before "In Utero" tour) of Nirvana, the crazy stageshows and the best stage- and instrument-destructions, that Nirvana and especially Kurt Cobain were the best in the world at!

The movie has real good speed and the cuts are real good.....and of course this "musicdocumentary" is one of the best, because nirvana is my favourite band!!

9/10

Nirvana, my favorite band put this together during the summers of 1991 and 1992. This video shows different songs from various concerts per- formed by the band. The great songs highlight this video. It is one of my favorite musicals, and is highly recommended for fans of the band.

An absolute must see for fans of Nirvana and the grunge music scene of the early 90's. This is an extremely well made video documentary and as such has value outside this fan base.

Most of the footage is edited from live performances, studio chat shows and MTV type interviews at around the time their smash hit 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' captured a new generation and stormed to the top of the US Billboard Singles chart, ousting Michael Jackson from #1.

The video is cut in such a way as to emphasise the glossy commercialism associated with their success and the irony the band felt as an 'alternative' rock group promoted to a 'mainstream' audience. The title captures this irony perfectly.

Grunge - a small slice of life, the essence of which is captured here on video. Should not be forgotten. 10/10

Where's the follow-up? This film documents, quite well, only the immediate period following the release of their smash hit "Nevermind" album. It is very nicely done, but it leaves fans thirsty for more in the way of a video release, especially in the advent of the DVD. Something from the In Utero tour? An uncut presentation of the landmark "Unplugged" performance (the bootleg doesn't cut it)? Aside from a very brief snippet of "Rape Me" playing in the background in one part, most of this is from the NEVERMIND record with a few cuts from BLEACH and INCESTICIDE sprinkled around. That was the plan though, I suppose, seeing as it's main objective is to cover the insane over-hype that followed the success of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

This is a must for Nirvana fans but more is due. Suppose the powers that be want to let an after-the-storm quiet ensue, though, so that the marketing machine can go full-throttle again when the post-grunge backlash fades away, and Nirvana is once again a profitable iconic entity. yay.

If like me any Nirvana fan has never got to see them Live before the tragic end then this is the video for you. This video has many of the popular titles performed at various arenas and has loads of backstage with nirvana footage. Its like going on tour with the band its so cool.

Its also particularly funny on the top of the pops performance of smells like teen spirit where they aren't playing and the facial expressions are so funny.

Great for all fans of the band really, or anyone who like grunge.
