Summary of Nirvana - Live! Tonight! Sold Out!

Originally conceived by Kurt Cobain, LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT! is a video document of Nirvana's rise from a scruffy trio from the Pacific Northwest into one of the most iconic and important bands in the history of rock music.

Combining live material from their `91-'92 "Nevermind" tour, LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT! has long been the "holy grail" for Nirvana fans... and one that has never been available on DVD until now. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, a world of Nirvana fans will be able to experience color-corrected and digitally remastered live performances of songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Lithium," "Breed," "Drain You" and "Aneurysm" - mixed into loads of interview footage from across the world - all as originally viewed through the eyes of Kurt Cobain himself. In addition to the complete original program, several previously unreleased performances are included as bonus DVD extras.

Aneurysm
About A Girl
Dive
Love Buzz
Breed
Smells Like Teen Spirit

With Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl could've shaped this material into a sappy tribute. On the contrary, as they state in the opening inter-title, "Though circumstances did not allow for the piece to be completed by those who forged its original vision, great care was taken to maintain the integrity and intent of the original edit." Consequently, viewers get a warts and all glimpse of Nirvana as they were, both in concert and off-stage. Live! isn't just a reminder that the Northwest trio was a great band, but that they knew how to have a good time, regardless as to the demons eating away at their frontman. This means Cobain performing in a negligee, clad in a garish gown for MTV's Headbanger's Ball, and stumbling through Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion." Other numbers stem from Bleach and Nevermind, with locations ranging from Seattle to Rio de Janeiro (the five bonus selections are from Amsterdam). In most cases, songs incorporate footage from different shows. Highlights include "Dive," "Territorial Pissings," and an out-of-control "Love Buzz," during which Cobain is attacked by a bouncer--and fights back. The "lowlights" are a screechy version of "Come as You Are" and purposefully sluggish "Smells like Teen Spirit." By this point, the hit had became a burden and the threesome weren't about to pretend otherwise. As Grohl puts it, "For a lot of people, it's like the only Nirvana song, and that's upsetting." This long-awaited DVD reissue features color correction and digitally re-mastering. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
