Description
Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine's "100 Gigs That Shook The World" and voted as "Nirvana's #1 Greatest Moment" by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana's historic August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the UK's Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock'n'roll.
Fans now have an opportunity to own a copy of this never-before-released 1992 performance on 180g vinyl!
While the shows centerpiece was a performance of nearly the entire Nevermind tracklist, also noteworthy were early performances of three as of yet unrecorded songs which wouldnt be released until 2 years later on In Utero: "All Apologies, Dumb, and in its first ever public performance, Tourette's." The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the bands 1989 Sub Pop debut album, Bleach, for Blew, About A Girl, School, Negative Creep and even further back to the mid-'80s for Spank Thru.
"Nirvana headlining at Reading in 1992 was something you had to see, and if you didn't see it then it was something you pretended you saw." – Kerrang (October 2003)
"The staggering energy and intensity radiating from the stage never let up… Cobain's ravaged pop songs coming off like some dream marriage of the Sex Pistols and the Beatles, borne on bracing waves of distorted guitar noise." – Rolling Stone (October 29, 1992)
