Nirvana Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!

The three members of Nirvana are inarguably some of the most creative original talented musicians to emerge in rock since....? But better then that they were a bunch of smart asses with a mission. They specifically choose a a stubbornly butchered rendition of their most popular song to put on their video as a comical trick on those who would look no deeper into the band then it's radio played singles. If this video doesn't capture the spirit of the post punk alternative movement I don't know what does. Small glimpses into the band's opinions and behaviors, self mocking views through the public's sometimes stupid eyes, corporate knocking, apathetic, smart. It's all there. The band takes some of they're most and least popular and throw them together on this 90 min montage of imagery and good music.

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.

I first got this video at blockbuster two years ago. It has Nirvana playing live and hanging out, its real cool. If you listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit it has different lyrics. Its a real find to be able to see them in concert on your TV its the closest you can get to the real thing.

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.

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.
