Nirvana at Reading Festival now on DVD

Nirvana's historic 90-minute, 25-song set headlining performance at the Reading Festival on Sunday 30th August 1992 is released on double CD and DVD for the first time today.

Their performance is one of the most bootlegged concerts of all time. The DVD of the entire performance includes colour-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters.

'Nirvana Live At Reading' is issued in a limited edition DVD+CD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations, and will be followed by a 2 LP version on November 16, 2009.

At the show's centre was a performance of nearly the entire 'Nevermind' tracklist, alongside other tracks including the airing of three songs which wouldn't be released until two years later on - In Utero's All Apologies', 'Dumb' and in its first ever public performance, tourette's.

The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the band's 1989 Sub Pop debut album, 'Bleach', for 'Blew', 'About A Girl', 'School', 'Negative Creep', and first single 'Love Buzz' and even further back to the mid-'80s for 'Spank Thru'. Other songs from the Reading set would appear in studio form on the 'Incesticide' compilation later in the year: 'Aneurysm', 'Been A Son', and 'Sliver'. Additionally, the band played a pair of beloved covers by two bands that helped shape the formative Nirvana sound – 'The Money Will Roll Right In' by Fang and 'D-7' by The Wipers.
