Nirvana: Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! (1994)

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This was a thought-provoking, sometimes really friggin' confusing look at the career of the band in their big fame moment in the late '91-early '94 period, props to the producers for making it clear that Kurt died without saying or showing it and the performances are nothing short of cool, my three faves are: 1. Aneurysm 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit on Top Of The Pops 3. and every other damn performance! This also has some comical backstage and interview clips including the really funny scene in which Krist goes into extreme detail about Hilary Clinton's S&M fetish, Nirvanamaniacs will love it, but common viewers, in the words of Kurt himself, "Stay Away!"

An absolute must see for fans of Nirvana and the grunge music scene of the early 90's. This is an extremely well made video documentary and as such has value outside this fan base.Most of the footage is edited from live performances, studio chat shows and MTV type interviews at around the time their smash hit 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' captured a new generation and stormed to the top of the US Billboard Singles chart, ousting Michael Jackson from #1.The video is cut in such a way as to emphasise the glossy commercialism associated with their success and the irony the band felt as an 'alternative' rock group promoted to a 'mainstream' audience. The title captures this irony perfectly.Grunge - a small slice of life, the essence of which is captured here on video. Should not be forgotten. 10/10

The three members of Nirvana are inarguably some of the most creative original talented musicians to emerge in rock since....? But better then that they were a bunch of smart asses with a mission. They specifically choose a a stubbornly butchered rendition of their most popular song to put on their video as a comical trick on those who would look no deeper into the band then it's radio played singles. If this video doesn't capture the spirit of the post punk alternative movement I don't know what does. Small glimpses into the band's opinions and behaviors, self mocking views through the public's sometimes stupid eyes, corporate knocking, apathetic, smart. It's all there. The band takes some of they're most and least popular and throw them together on this 90 min montage of imagery and good music.

If like me any Nirvana fan has never got to see them Live before the tragic end then this is the video for you. This video has many of the popular titles performed at various arenas and has loads of backstage with nirvana footage. Its like going on tour with the band its so cool.Its also particularly funny on the top of the pops performance of smells like teen spirit where they aren't playing and the facial expressions are so funny.Great for all fans of the band really, or anyone who like grunge.
