Nirvana's 'legendary' performance at Reading Festival in 1992 is to get a DVD and CD release in the UK on November 2 this year under the revolutionary name Nirvana Live At Reading.
For those of you not in the know, this one was where sometimes-DiS-scribe Everett True wheeled out Kurt Cobain in a dress in front of the baying audience. It's also up there in the annals of all time performances from a band EVER.
Though you can pretty much get the whole thing online in reasonable quality anyway, a proper DVD and CD release of this performance is definitely something to get at least moderately excited about.
The tracklisting for the DVD/CD is as follows:
- Breed
- Drain You
- Aneurysm
- School
- Sliver
- In Bloom
- Come As You Are
- Lithium
- About A Girl
- Tourette's
- Polly
- Lounge Act
- Smells Like Teen Spirit
- On A Plain
- Negative Creep
- Been A Son
- All Apologies
- Blew
- Dumb
- Stay Away
- Spank Thru
- Love Buzz *
- The Money Will Roll Right In
- D-7
- Territorial Pissings
The cover sleeve for the DVD looks as such:

The tracklist includes covers of The Wipers in 'D7' - previously on the Whoremoaning EP - and Fang's 'The Money Will Roll Right In' which was also famously covered by Nirvana's stablemates Mudhoney, who played before Nirvana at Reading in '92.
The DVD will be colour-corrected from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters. Nirvana Live At Reading will be issued as a limited edition CD and DVD Deluxe edition as well as in DVD and CD only formats with a further 2 LP edition released two weeks later.

The Money Will (inevitably) Roll Right In
It's a regret of mine that I never saw Nirvana live, but I hope I get to see this.
oooh, D-7
I've actually never seen this. I probably should watch it.
4 years ago
this would have interested me
It would be good
if their previous mid-afternoon slot (the one ending with him diving into the kit and knacking himself) could also be on there as an extra.

"The tracklist includes covers of The Wipers in 'D7' - previously on the Whoremoaning EP - and Fang's 'The Money Will Roll Right In' which was also famously covered by Nirvana's stablemates Mudhoney, who played the slot before Nirvana at Reading in '92." Mudhoney played earlier in the afternoon. The slot immediately prior to Nirvana in 1992 was filled by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Approximately 4 people seemed to enjoy the set. Everybody else became increasingly irked by them, including me at the time. If only I knew then what I know now.
