Either I've forgotten how good Nirvana is, or they've never been this good before. 

Strangely, almost half of the songs are covers. I would have thought on MTV they would have played all their hits and certainly not David Bowie or the Meat Puppets. We haven't had a live album in awhile and this album really gave the feeling of being there. Remember when we could be places?

I thought the glamor of a posthumous release might lend the album more prestige than it deserved, but fortunately that was not the case. Cobain's vocals are amazing and he really was insanely talented. He could have become so much more. 

RATING: 5/5
