Negative Positive
Title: Kurt is dead. His music isn't.
Review: Everything that is said nowadays about Kurt Cobain seems to be an epitaph to him, and likewise a pall hangs over much of his band's music. But this is a wonderful album, full of light and power, and has some of the greatest moments in 90s music - such as the stunning "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" that finishes the show, and the stripped-down "Pennyroyal Tea", somehow both portents of what was to happen just five months after this show was recorded.These songs, along with covers of several Meat Puppets numbers, his yearning "About A Girl" and the worldly-wise sounding Bowie cover "The Man..." make for an album as memorable as the studio albums Nirvana produced.For once, the hype that surrounded Nirvana was justified, even if the hype contributed to Cobain's suicide. This album displays the genius of the Nirvana leader.
