DVD Reviews of Nirvana - Live! Tonight! Sold Out!DVD Review: OK Summary: 3 StarsI was a little disappointed in the video quality of most of these performances..I'm guessing they were almost bootlegs in a sense.
DVD Review: NIRVANA rocks, but this DVD doesn't Summary: 2 StarsI bought this just to be disappointed - this is not a concert DVD. As a concert DVD "Unplugged" in New York by MTV is much better. Best thing in this DVD is the Extras - where you actually get to watch Nirvana in action without much editing. But that's like 6 songs or so. If you want very short documentary and some Cobain interviews - then this will suffice, but if you want a pure concert without silly editing - wait until better concert DVDs will be released.
DVD Review: Best Christmas gift! Summary: 5 StarsI gave this to my son for Christmas and he loves it. He was impressed that I picked it out (w/ help from Amazon!).
DVD Review: A Surprise Summary: 5 StarsMy impression before I actually saw this DVD is that I might not like it as much since I favored the MTV Unplugged Nirvana performance (very different from the performances here), however, I was pleasantly surprised with the entire DVD because in the end, I actually did enjoy it more than I thought I would. The entire DVD is full of Nirvana's hard rocking rendition of songs - making it a bit more difficult to hear the spoken lyrics (which I like to do when I listen to music) but even so, I found myself enjoying the pace, the harsher, relentless pounding of the way the music was played, and watching the antics of what now - at this point in time - appears to be very young men caught in the tumult of their own fame. I saw a side to the band's music I hadn't known previously. Definitely a good addition to any Nirvana fan's collection.
DVD Review: amazing music Summary: 5 StarsI bought this on VHS and wore the tape out-twice. I'm so glad they have it on DVD now. It is a testament to how powerful the band could be in concert. Kurt's ability to alter/enhance the meaning of a song by how he ennunciated the words is breathtaking. This DVD has stellar examples of how raw he could be. I think it also shows some of the humor that I think fans who were not around at the time might miss. I love this DVD.
Description 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.Features the songs: AneurysmAbout A GirlDiveLove BuzzBreedSmells Like Teen SpiritNegative CreepCome As You AreTerritorial PissingsSomething In The WayLithiumDrain YouPollySliverOn A PlainEndless NamelessEXTRAS - Live In Amsterdam: SchoolAbout A GirlBeen A SonOn A PlainBlewFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS Rating:?NR UPC:?602517098121 Manufacturer No:?B0007914-09 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
