Live At Reading [Digipak] by Nirvana (USA) (CD, Nov-2009, Universal Records USA)

This live set is substantially better than From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah in my opinion. Maybe this is because it contains more tracks originally found on Nevermind, which has to be one of my favorite albums of the 90s, and potentially of all time. Maybe this is because the sound quality of this album is just better than the 1996 effort. Maybe it's because it contains other live versions of the very same music found on "Muddy Banks" that I'm thrilled to rediscover after leaving that CD stuck on the shelf for years.

Fact of the matter that this new release reminded us all that Nirvana was and still is a rock legend. As far as I can remember, it was in 1992 that the band was on top of their game, by the spotlight everywhere showing all they were all about. And this concert at Reading festival in that year is one great capture of that moment.

"Territorial Pissings", the last track, containing an attempt by Kurt to play "The Star Spangled Banner", is an amazing end to this release. Nirvana fans, don't wait to get this one more album to your collection.
