Review of Nirvana Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!

In the wake of the death of Cobain, a zillion schlock films came out trying to capture the phenomenon that was this band, but this one, originally started by Kurt himself and finished by the surviving members- is the best one to see. Using montages made by Kurt, home movies shot by Krist, and footage from concerts and TV appearances, this film really gives the new and seasoned Nirvana fan a glimpse into the humor and raw energy that was what made this band so special. If you check out none of the other films, You should see this one. Standout scenes for me included Krist's banter shot on an airplane heading to a show somewhere, and the Top of the Pops performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" where an obviously disgruntled Cobain, sick of the song's overplayedness, and having to perform to a pre-recorded soundtrack, makes the performance interesting.
