Nirvana’s legendary Reading Festival headline show from 1992 is finally coming out on DVD/CD this coming November 16th. .
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.
The DVD will feature that entire performance – with colour-corrected video from the original film and 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.
The first sneak peak of which is available for viewing now and shows the band ripping through early 'Bleach’ era classic 'School’
