View More By Nirvana Our ReviewHeadlining the 1992 Reading Festival in England, Nirvana were at the peak of their powers and had finally brought alternative rock into the mainstream. This oft-bootlegged performance has been considered — for good reason — to be one of the band’s definitive moments, coming after the success of Nevermind and before Cobain’s disenchantment with life itself.

I'm extremely excited about it being released on iTunes & would encourage any fan to buy this album... or better yet, the movie. BiographyFormed: 1987 in Aberdeen, WAGenre: Rock Years Active: '80s, '90s Prior to Nirvana, alternative music was consigned to specialty sections of record stores, and major labels considered it to be, at the very most, a tax write-off. After the band's second album, 1991's Nevermind, nothing was ever quite the same, for better and for worse. Nirvana popularized punk, post-punk, and indie rock, unintentionally bringing it into the American mainstream like no other band to date.
