DVD Reviews of Nirvana: Live at Reading
DVD Review: Amazing from a 3 Piece
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the things that struck me eventually, was the fact that here were just three lone wolfs and the sound they managed to make was amazing! Most of the bands I can think of are at least 4, most are 5 person bands. And along came Nirvana with three....and played awesomely ! Not having had the opportunity to ever see the band live, this recording is absolutely fabulous to have. I TRULY HOPE THE NIRVANA CAMP PUTS OUT ONE OF THE IN UTERO CONCERTS at some point because I would surely buy it as well. I assume eventually they will & they should. Contrary to what some people know of Cobain's views, he was a paradox when it came to his success in that he wanted commercial validation, and the money from it, as much as the next guy, but certainly shunned the notoriety associated with it.
At the time of this concert he was at a particularly difficult time in his life concerning his family - his daughter was born just 2 weeks prior and the child was removed from their care because of an article appearing in Vanity Fair painting the couple as unfit parents. I read about the incident in two sources and was struck with an idea of the terrible horror I would feel if someone had taken my child from me at any time, let alone shortly after birth. Irregardless of whether there was enough evidence pointing to the possibility of child endangerment due to drug use, I believe the state agency handling the affair should have considered (and had more compassion) a more humane way of handling the whole matter.
So if anyone was wondering why Cobain looked the way he did in the video (actually not as bad as you would think given the circumstances) yet I could see the strain in the man's face during the performance. He was also in the throes of kicking his unfortunate heroine habit - but still managed to pull out an amazing performance just to prove he wasn't DOA. The relationship between Novoselic, Grohl & Cobain was also very strained at the time. To me, this makes this performance all the more stunning in that it amazes me Cobain was able to perform as well as he did, though it was said of him that when it came to the business of Nirvana, Kurt was always on top when he wanted to be.
I am so sorry for his family, bandmates and friends that he did not want to continue what he had started. It seems apparent from written sources that insofar as Cobain was concerned, his own music would have progressed beyond the confines of the music genre he was in because that was what he had expressed an interest in doing. I wish exceedingly he had given himself the opportunity to do so. To Nirvana, one of my favorites, a great performance indeed & I'm very happy it was preserved for a later time.
