Editorial Review:
NIRVANA'S LEGENDARY NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED 1992 READING CONCERT

Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine's "100 Gigs That Shook The World" and voted as "Nirvana's #1 Greatest Moment" by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana's historic August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the UK's Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock n roll. Now, fans will have an opportunity to own a pristine copy of that entire performance -- color-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters. Nirvana Live At Reading will be issued in a limited edition CD+DVD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations on November 3, 2009, followed by a 2LP version on November 17, 2009.

Live at Reading Reviews:
re-live the early 90's
2009-12-29 - This is a great set-list. The band sounds at their best, although you can see some stress between the band members. They even end the show in their trade-mark ways. Fun to re-live what a nirvana live show was all about. I miss them.

Nirvana
2009-12-26 - This such a powerfull dynamic illustration of the way too short life of one our greatest of all time rockers . This DVD reveals the powerfull sound of Nirvana in their prime . I have wanted just this type of DVD of Nirvana for the longest but I could never find any decent Nirvana video's any where . Well Nirvana fans your wait is over here is the real thing , pure adrenalin rush of the best Nirvana you will find any where AWESOME !!!!!!!!

Amazing from a 3 Piece
2009-12-23 - One of the things that struck me eventually, was the fact that here were just three lone wolfs and the sound they managed to make was amazing! Most of the bands I can think of are at least 4, most are 5 person bands. And along came Nirvana with three....and played awesomely ! Not having had the opportunity to ever see the band live, this recording is absolutely fabulous to have. I TRULY HOPE THE NIRVANA CAMP PUTS OUT ONE OF THE IN UTERO CONCERTS at some point because I would surely buy it as well. I assume eventually they will & they should. Contrary to what some people know of Cobain's views, he was a paradox when it came to his success in that he wanted commercial validation, and the money from it, as much as the next guy, but certainly shunned the notoriety associated with it.

At the time of this concert he was at a particularly difficult time in his life concerning his family - his daughter was born just 2 weeks prior and the child was removed from their care because of an article appearing in Vanity Fair painting the couple as unfit parents. I read about the incident in two sources and was struck with an idea of the terrible horror I would feel if someone had taken my child from me at any time, let alone shortly after birth. Irregardless of whether there was enough evidence pointing to the possibility of child endangerment due to drug use, I believe the state agency handling the affair should have considered (and had more compassion) a more humane way of handling the whole matter.

So if anyone was wondering why Cobain looked the way he did in the video (actually not as bad as you would think given the circumstances) yet I could see the strain in the man's face during the performance. He was also in the throes of kicking his unfortunate heroine habit - but still managed to pull out an amazing performance just to prove he wasn't DOA. The relationship between Novoselic, Grohl & Cobain was also very strained at the time. To me, this makes this performance all the more stunning in that it amazes me Cobain was able to perform as well as he did, though it was said of him that when it came to the business of Nirvana, Kurt was always on top when he wanted to be.

I am so sorry for his family, bandmates and friends that he did not want to continue what he had started. It seems apparent from written sources that insofar as Cobain was concerned, his own music would have progressed beyond the confines of the music genre he was in because that was what he had expressed an interest in doing. I wish exceedingly he had given himself the opportunity to do so. To Nirvana, one of my favorites, a great performance indeed & I'm very happy it was preserved for a later time.


The best quality Nirvana live DVD
2009-12-21 - This is the best Nirvana's live DVD so far. I hope they release more live DVDs of this quality (like the one they played with Pat with the In Utero statue at the back). Recommended.

Amazing
2009-12-19 - Amazing show, sonically great... agree the cut shots are a bit much if just sitting and watching. Playing in the background while working is perfect though.

Highly recommend for any true Nirvana fan.
