Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in VHS Tapes
One of the most powerful heavy rock trios to ever grace the airwaves- Nirvana. And yet even the sudden demise of the lead songwriter and singer of the band, Kurt Cobain, by a self inflicted wound, doesn't blur in anyway the focus of the band. The attemp to bridge the disco/metal/acid rock of the sixties and seventies with the punk rock of the eighties was done with absolute precision. I guess the real genius behind the band was that they all seemed to understand, on the most potent levels, exactly what Kurt was attempting musically. It's no small task to read the mind of a genius and try to play along. Therefore, it comes as absolutely no surprise that the drummer, Dave Grohl, would go on to become an international star himself as frontman of Foo Fighters. It should also be observed that Foo Fighters is his brain child and that he writes most of the material. The video is a sort of peak into the world of Nirvana, and that of rock and roll in general. It acts as part documentary, part live video as interviews with the members and performances are captured in a sort of timely sequence. Yet, it doesn't bore us with the same old documentary layout of starting from the beginning of the band to now. It seems to jump right into the deep end, making it almost like a realtime peak into the lives and styles of this amazing trio out of Seattle, WA. I'll let the viewer make up there own mind how best to describe the possible theme's of this little treasure. Suffice it to say, it has become a lost gem as the crappy documentaries start rolling smf attempt to disclose the reasons behind the early demise of Kurt, taking the focus off the music. That's correct, this film was done before Kurt expired. A must for Nirvana fans and those who are curious about what musical genius looks and sounds like.Read full review
These guys came out w/ a new sound and a different style. they went against punk, rock, metal, thrash, all that, and emerged on top. ill tell you why there so great. kurt cobains fucked up relationship w/ his wife made him a wreck, and one great lyricist. most of his lyrics revolve around her some way or another, and there music reflect his feelings towards her, and its great. some of their songs are admitedly weak , but man do they know how to bust out some good stuff. these guys are great, like the song dumb, that song is great on a lyrical level
This is a great vhs tape for hardcore nirvana fans. Not a whole concert but lots of interviews and good stuff and clips of concert. Well worth the money.

i am so happy when things go like they should, was it in my thaughts that it would be bumpy, like they sometimes are, not today, man, not today, it was picturesque, really, the whole opertation, and i'll sleep good tonight, partly thanks to you
These guys need to go back to school! Terrible music and musicianship! There music and performance does not warrant such popularity. There are no stand outs, no stage presence to speak of. Just a garage band! What a joke!
