Nirvana 'Live At Reading Festival' DVD finally set for official release

Iconic performance will be released this November

An official DVD and CD release of Nirvana's seminal performance at the Reading Festival in 1992 is set for release on November 2.

The package features footage of the performance, which took place on August 30, 1992 and is considered by many to be one of the greatest performances ever at the festival.

The CD version of the performance features the setlist (below) minus 'Love Buzz'.

CD-only and DVD-only versions of the release will be issued on the same day as the DVD package, while a double 12-inch vinyl version will come out on November 16.

The package will be the first official release of the gig, although an unofficial DVD of the performance, entitled 'Life Takes No Prisoners', was released last May.

The setlist for 'Nirvana Live At Reading' is:

'Breed'
'Drain You'
'Aneurysm'
'School'
'Sliver'
'In Bloom'
'Come As You Are'
'Lithium'

...and look out for a young xraybaby in the front row! I'd like to see a release of their 1991 performance too.

A double DVD set with Reading 1991 would have been better. Hopefully, Oasis will follow suit and release their Knebworth shows on DVD.
