Product Description The Seattle grunge band in concert in New York City on the 18th November 1993 for MTV's Unplugged season. .com 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

Awesome Interviews/Back-stage footage of Kurt & the band
This is a pretty cool tape of live Nirvana. I liked it a lot. It's based on the songs from "Nevermind," but there are a few from "Bleach." My favorite would have to be the take on "Something In The Way," in my opinion that's the best song on the tape as far as the proformance goes.I was a little disappointed with the take on "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Kurt purposly sang it different because that's the song everyone liked, and he they were kind of sick of playing it. Don't get me wrong the song wasn't bad, he just sang it more in the form of an Opra Singer, rather then in his own voice.The back-stage footage and interviews are awesome! The video itself is worth buying just for that alone. - All-in-all, I rate this 4 Stars, the ending could have been better, as it just has Kurt crawling off the stage...

I love Nirvana, but Kurt was a wimp.
This video captures the band at its apogee. Free-spirited and raw. My favorite part is during the live "Love Buzz" when Kurt stage dives and the bouncer paid to protect him tries to bring him back. Kurt slams him in the head with his solid wood guitar, splitting the man's scalp open. When the bouncer tries to pummel Kurt, the band steps in and stops him. Kurt picked a fight and couldn't finish it. Kurt was a pussy!

Every nirvana fan should own this
I have seen this before and it is amazing every nirvana fan should own it only thing I did not like when it arrived it was out of its cartridge which scratched it a bit but it still played perfectly.

DVD not coded for region 1 USA so doesnt work in DVD players sold in the USA.
The version I got was not from region 1 USA and Canada so it would not play on my dvd player. The description of the item says it is for region 1. VERY Disappointed!

Simply Bliss
I thought it was a great film. Pretty much just a compilation of Nirvana playing live during the Nevermind era. Plus interviews, tv spots, and news reports. It was a film originally conceived by Cobain himself, but was eventually completed by Krist and Dave. Great great film.
