Super, super, super, super sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

New Live Nirvana DVD in the Works
Nirvana’s performance at England’s Reading Festival on August 30, 1992 is legendary. But it’s not one of those “hey, it’s Nirvana and everything they did is legendary” deals. The much-bootlegged set saw Kurt Cobain refuting illness rumors by slyly entering the stage in a wheelchair and hospital gown before tearing the festival into teeny tiny bits. Some rudimentary Googling and YouTubing can give you a pretty good idea of the spectacle, but as NME reports, an official DVD of the performance is on the way.
Universal plans to release the disc in November, and NME reports that it has been “officially sanctioned by the remaining members of the band” and features some never-before-seen footage. Opportunistic stocking stuffer or painstaking reissue of an essential rock’n’roll document? Time will tell.
