![]() ![]() Sure, there were TV things like 'MTV Unplugged' and VHS releases like 'Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!!', but none were full, uninterrupted concerts. ![]() Crazy enough, despite owning all the albums (cassettes, then CDs, which are now MP3s), singles, b-sides, and bootlegs, this is actually the first time I've ever been able to experience a Nirvana concert. Now we have your one and only chance to see Nirvana in high-definition. They took over the word, destroyed thousands of musical instruments, and tragically, it all ended too soon for my liking. Vocalist-guitarist Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl (though technically, he arrived in the middle of recording 'Nevermind') fused punk rock and Sabbath metal with poetic, Beatles-inspired pop-rock hooks. They were anthems for anyone who ever felt left out, weird, or different. ![]() It was a record that united kids from all different places and all different backgrounds because the songs expressed how they felt everyday. Ask someone who was between the ages of 7 and 27 in 1991 where they were when they first heard 'Nevermind,' and they'll probably have an instant, specific answer. I've started this review a good five different ways, only to hit delete on my trite, clichéd summations of Nirvana's pop-cultural impact on early 90s youth (now aging millennials). ![]()
