Nirvana Live DVD Due In November

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 – with colour-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 DVD+CD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations on November 2, 2009, followed by a 2 LP version on November 16, 2009.

While the show’s centerpiece was a performance of nearly the entire Nevermind tracklist, also noteworthy were early performances of three as yet unrecorded songs which wouldn’t be released until two years later on - In Utero’s All Apologies, Dumb and in its first ever public performance, tourette’s. The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the band’s 1989 Sub Pop debut album, Bleach, for Blew, About A Girl, School, Negative Creep and first single Love Buzz and even further back to the mid-‘80s for Spank Thru. Other songs from the Reading set would appear in studio form on the Incesticide compilation later in the year: Aneurysm, Been A Son and Sliver. Additionally, the band played a pair of beloved covers by two bands that helped shape the formative Nirvana sound – The Money Will Roll Right In by Fang and D-7 by The Wipers.

Only 2 of the 25 performances on the DVD have ever been released before.

Well it's better than looking all over the internet.

[LegsOnEarth]

So stoked, FINALLY! Been dying to see this mastered.

[wemonir]

this will probably be cool. i'll buy it

[blocsox90]

buying for sure

[ReaperWaits]

Nice!

[kgesme21]

so the only song that isn't going to be on the album is Love Buzz? Really that hard to put it on there?

[harpcicle]

probably a touchy subject but why should I pay more money to courtney for a concert thats posted all over youtube? especially after the cobain character job in guitar queero. id rather spend my time searching for a bootleg copy, at least the people making them don't continually drag nirvana's name through the mud

[Notoriousdoc]

Which, rather than being an actual song is just a 5 minute clip of Courtney rolling around in money, laughing maniacally.

I lol'd hard. The sad thing is, if anyone buys this DVD she really will be doing that. Nonetheless a pretty legendary performance.

[hamsteroceros]

Or maybe if we all buy one (as I'm sure most of us would like to anyway) she might have just enough money to buy just enough smack for us to be rid of her forever.

checked.
please try to keep courtney-bashing to a minimum. for the love of god it's just another nirvana dvd, not a big scandal taking cobain's name in vain etc

[middleclasssam]

Only 2 of the 25 performances have been released before? REALLY?

BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED THIS DVD FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND IT'S BEEN OUT FOR AGES! JUST SEARCH IT ON ANY DECENT ONLINE SHOP.

Of course this article was copied and pasted, the same as every other online article regarding this. This is how things work, see? PR sends media the press release, and the media publish the press release. If you'd actually like to criticise U-G, make it something legitimate.

[Guitarfreak777]

I cannot wait for this.

[FooCards]

I'll just sit and grin...the money will roll right in"

[SumFX]

Why don't we look on the bright side, even if Courtney is doing this for money we still get a new Nirvana CD. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have half of the Nirvana merch.

[BassFishin]

Blah blah blah Courtney is getting the money blah blahb blah...

Look, the way i see it, she already has enough money to throw a 6 million dollar birthday party for Frances, and i want this DVD to own, so that i don't have to watch it on youtube. Therefore, i'm buying this. No doubt.

[BassFishin]

my point being that whats another 10 dollars to her?

(no drug jokes)

[taatelikoira]

it's a common bootleg but a must see as a mastered version for a fan

[Irish Bassist]

sounds good.

[jax113]

i will get it

[ænimic]

I will get this.

[hazardmaster]

Sounds good.

[xXxNiCkxXx]

YAY!!!!! NIRVANA!!!!! I LOVE COBAIN!!!!! HES AMAZING!!! RIP

Checked.

I think you are thinking of the bootlegs that are on youtube. This article makes it sound like these are very clear and pristine videos and audio of the performance. Which I hope it is, for then I will buy it. I don't give a shit if it is money in Courtney's pocket, this is something (supposedly) unseen so far, in the quality they say at least.

[Ataxia]

Awesome.

[CoreysMonster]

sounds awesome, will definately be buying *coughdownloadingcough* this

[mental_zer0]

i'll be buying this. i've got a good quality bootleg of it, but if this is a good as it sounds, i'll buy it.

I know what I've seen! They seem to have just taken it out of circulation but look on ebay or something, trust me it's there.

[korinaflyingv]

might have to dl this...

[pilotsinchains]

1. So what if its money in Courtney's pocket. Who are you to protest. She WAS Kurt Cobain's wife and is the mother of his child! I'm pretty sure if they were living under a bridge Kurt would want to support his family.

2. All the people that refuse to buy it because they have "already seen it on you tube" well thats great. But if I want to cough up 15 or 20 bucks for it (much like other people on here)dont LOOSE SLEEP OVER IT!

3. Then End.

[FancyHandLuke]

Kurt was a god. Now he is immortalized. This is gonna be freaking sweet!

[Kenkilla100]

i will definitly buy!

[vanshaya]

I am so getting this.

This guy knows it.

But srsly, I own a bootlegged copy of this, and I reckon it was awesome. Cannot wait for a decent copy of it. Definitely on my buying list.

[BonezShaker]

cool, hope i can find it Malysia...

[idehass]

since this has never been released or seen or even heard, i wonder if this is gonna be sold out pretty quick

[Engel22]

Dude EVERYONE has seen/heard this.

[gerbil_mastr]

MUST HAVE NOW!!!

checked

I think Nirvana is over-rated :X
No, I'm not bashing Nirvana,
so don't hate me.
But I really, REALLY think that they are
far from legendary.

Well to be honest, and not bashing you, Nirvana kind of did single handedly kill alot of the popularity of hair metal and whatnot.

[perla14tx]

yes!and ten days before my birthday!

[sonoflife]

what makes this performance so legendary?

[Razor888]

I love nirvana they were bigger than the beattles, I just hope the money from the cd/dvd goes to his daughter.

This is great. Not only do I have to scrape the dollars together for Steve Vai's concert DVD on the 29th, I have to add this to the list.

Finally, I get to see them perform "Smells Like Teen Spirit"!!!
I have always loved Nirvana and I'm super-excited to see this!!!

It's on DVD!!!! sreiously i'm getting tired of new nirvana stuff...it's like a new tupac album that comes out every year

[itstheman]

They forgot a song...****in' UG...Let me go down the list from #24 on the official press release.

24. D-7
25. Territorial Pissings
26. Ode to Shotgun

Easily his most popular song to date, how can you miss that?

[KurdtStaley]

i'll be glad to download this as soon as it goes up on the pirate bay.. BUT if i'm reading correctly it's going to be a complete ****ing joke. "original multi-track masters" meaning there's not actually going to be any live music at all, but instead just the studio recordings set over the video footage. COMPLETE FUCKING JOKE

[yeaha]

bullshit, if you've seen timecoded bootleg DVD (it has soundboard audio), so you must know it should be pretty damn good CD/DVD..

[Stratogibson]

The soundboard has multi-tracks hence their being several inputs for multiple instruments and mikes. Unplugged turned out to be a great DVD and that had multi-track masters. Do some research before you complain. It will be just fine.

[Dusky]

where can you buy it?????

[yadneerg2]

sex!!!!

[56deci]

damn last summer i bought the other dvd of reding festival and now there is much beder version.
Well im gonna get this one too anyway
RIP KURT COBAIN
