{"product_id":"nirvana-live-at-reading-cd","title":"Nirvana - Live At Reading [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eNirvana's Live at Reading captures the band's headline set at the Reading Festival in 1992, released on CD in 2009 and widely regarded as one of their greatest live documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe backdrop matters. Rumours about Kurt Cobain's health were everywhere that summer, and he famously arrived on stage in a wheelchair and hospital gown before standing up and tearing into a career-spanning set. What follows is loose, loud and funny, with Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl driving the songs harder than on record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreed opens at a sprint and barely lets up. Lithium and In Bloom sound bigger and rougher than their studio versions, while Smells Like Teen Spirit is played with the slightly reckless energy of a band already tired of being defined by it. There are covers and rarities in the mix too, plus early outings for songs that would later land on In Utero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe audio is raw in the best way, with crowd noise and feedback left in so you can feel the size of the field. Cobain's voice shreds and soars in equal measure, and the band sounds completely locked together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-four songs, one night, a band at full power. For anyone who only knows Nirvana through the studio albums, this is the missing piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439082774833,"sku":"602527203676","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_913955a8-6e66-46e5-938f-7dd1bc426fe4.jpg?v=1794152017","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/nirvana-live-at-reading-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
