Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Where's the follow-up? This film documents, quite well, only the immediate period following the release of their smash hit "Nevermind" album. It is very nicely done, but it leaves fans thirsty for more in the way of a video release, especially in the advent of the DVD. Something from the In Utero tour? An uncut presentation of the landmark "Unplugged" performance (the bootleg doesn't cut it)? Aside from a very brief snippet of "Rape Me" playing in the background in one part, most of this is from the NEVERMIND record with a few cuts from BLEACH and INCESTICIDE sprinkled around. That was the plan though, I suppose, seeing as it's main objective is to cover the insane over-hype that followed the success of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". This is a must for Nirvana fans but more is due. Suppose the powers that be want to let an after-the-storm quiet ensue, though, so that the marketing machine can go full-throttle again when the post-grunge backlash fades away, and Nirvana is once again a profitable iconic entity. yay.

This is the best video I have ever seen period. It does a great job of showing Kurt Cobain and the rest of Nirvana. It shows how they act off screen and not singing plus it shows real good concert videos. If you like Kurt Cobain you also need to rent Kurt and Courtney. This does a great job of showing his life and tragic death and it does shed a lot of light of him being possibly murdered.

Live! Tonight! Sold Out! is a wonderful video. Nirvana happens to be my favorite band, so I was eager to pick up this video when it was released a few years ago. The film beautifully captures the spirit of one of the most influential bands of all-time. Some of the band's greatest hits, including "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", and "Come as You Are" are captured on film over the span of several different concerts. The secret track from their Nevermind album, "Endless Nameless" is even shown here, a rare treat. The film also contains many hilarious incidents that rock bands are always sure to encounter. A great buy for any fan of this great band.

This video is amazing. Originally conceived by the late Kurt Cobain, this home video shows footage from various concerts of Nirvana's "Nevermind" tour. The venues range from the small heat-exhausted clubs like the one in Dallas where the song "Love Buzz" is presented to sold out stadiums like the one in Brazil. Aside from concert footage, we see a band backstage fooling around and obviously enjoying themselves. We also see montages of people from the media, people in MTV and people of record companies. These were meshed together very well and it clearly shows how the band was being harassed by the media during the "Nevermind" tour. Anyways, this video is brilliant. Look for outstanding performances of "About A Girl," "Dive," "Breed," "Territorial Pissings," "Drain You," "Sliver" and "Endless Nameless."
