Recording information: 1987 - 1994.
Ten years after the death of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana fans finally got what they had been waiting for in the form of 2004's WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, an extensive three-CD/one-DVD box set spanning the deified rock band's career. Part of Nirvana's charm was its gleefully subversive aesthetic, and this trait is heavily featured on Disc One, which begins with a slaughtered version of Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" at the group's first gig in 1987. Distortion and low fidelity reign on most of these songs (including "Anorexorcist", "Pen Cap Chew," and a demo version of "Even in His Youth"), and Cobain probably wouldn't have had it any other way.
Disc Two covers the band's uneasy transition to superstar status and features the crucial addition of drummer Dave Grohl, whose powerhouse percussion worked perfectly with Krist Novoselic's rumbling bass and Cobain's tortured vocals and fiery guitar playing. In addition to Cobain's solo acoustic tracks and demo versions of well-known songs, excellent B-sides and compilation tracks are presented here, including a gorgeous reading of the Velvet Underground's "Here She Comes Now" and a fierce take on Greg Sage's "D-7" that rivals the most intense Nirvana studio tracks. Covering the post-NEVERMIND years, Disc Three features acoustic readings of IN UTERO tunes, along with rarities like the stomping (and rather prophetic) "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die" and the emotive "Sappy." The beautiful booklet and the DVD of archival footage serve to further illuminate Nirvana's legacy, which extends far beyond this well-compiled set.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - A hardcore fan's wildest dreams fulfilled....It's consistently strong.
Uncut

3 stars out of 5 - [F]ascinating is a career-spanning selection of radio broadcasts beginning with an April '87 appearance....LIGHTS offers multiple perspectives on well-known material.
Mojo

4 stars out of 5 - [T]he prizes are the full-fledged Nirvana songs that got away....You can't top the naked demo of 'Heart Shaped Box,' which has doomier lyrics and a bent noise-guitar solo.
Entertainment Weekly

[A] volcanic eruption of Nirvana material....Cobain's early songs burn with thrash-metal energy, bratty humor, and, most of all, ambition. - Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly

[M]ostly great....[With tracks] that show the band experimenting in ways they never did on their album releases. - Grade: A
Spin

Included in Rolling Stone's The 10 Best Reissues & Anthologies Of 2004 - Remember him this way: exploding with invention, fighting the pain and winning.

      With the lights out box set- Nirvana

    I'm a huge Nirvana fan, and I enjoyed the set for the most part. Some of the content gets repetitive, and I would have liked to see have seen more current footage on it. It's a good buy for Nirvana fans, but I felt that there was something missing that could have made a good box set great.
