Nirvana: Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! Trailers

Originally conceived by Kurt Cobain, Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! is a video document of Nirvana’s rise from a scruffy trio from the Pacific Northwest into one of the most iconic and important bands in the history of rock music. Combining live material from their ’91-’92 Nevermind tour, Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! has long been the “holy grail” for Nirvana fans. Digitally remastered live performances of songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", "Breed", "Drain You" and "Aneurysm" are mixed into loads of interview footage from across the world.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This was a thought-provoking, sometimes really friggin' confusing look at the career of the band in their big fame moment in the late '91-early '94 period, props to the producers for making it clear that Kurt died without saying or showing it and the performances are nothing short of cool, my three faves are: 1. Aneurysm 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit on Top Of The Pops 3. and every other damn performance! This also has some comical backstage and interview clips including the really funny scene in which Krist goes into extreme detail about Hilary Clinton's S&M fetish, Nirvanamaniacs will love it, but common viewers, in the words of Kurt himself, "Stay Away!"

The period that the film covers was the peak of great Nirvana performances: the middle years when the band was now very musically tight and filled with the excitement of the small social revolution that the early 1990's was bubbling with. They were the most popular band in the world and the performances reflected all the excitement, confusion and passionate fury that came out of being propelled into the mass media.A few personal highlights are the wonderfully cathartic destruction of "Endless Nameless" and the overwhelming meloncholly of the pumped electric version of "Something in the Way."If you liked the footage of this film I recommend "The Year Punk Broke" which is a similar documentary of a Sonic Youth tour with a beautiful version of Nirvana (before the disillusionment of fame, etc)opening up for them all across Europe right on the edge of Nirvana's breakthough to the world wide fame. Cobain is giddy and playing better than ever in this footage which is a rare treat to Nirvana fans...the giddiness that is. Plus Sonic Youth is forever fantastic."my whole existence is for your amusement and that is why i'm here with you...today i found my nirvana"-nirvana, BLEACH, "paper cuts"

Live! Tonight! Sold Out! is a wonderful video. Nirvana happens to be my favorite band, so I was eager to pick up this video when it was released a few years ago. The film beautifully captures the spirit of one of the most influential bands of all-time. Some of the band's greatest hits, including "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", and "Come as You Are" are captured on film over the span of several different concerts. The secret track from their Nevermind album, "Endless Nameless" is even shown here, a rare treat. The film also contains many hilarious incidents that rock bands are always sure to encounter. A great buy for any fan of this great band.

I first got this video at blockbuster two years ago. It has Nirvana playing live and hanging out, its real cool. If you listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit it has different lyrics. Its a real find to be able to see them in concert on your TV its the closest you can get to the real thing.
