Better than Ever
|
There are two kinds of people you can't listen to: the ones who refer to Kurt Cobain by his first name, and the ones who say Nirvana was just power cords. I'm neither.
I was already a big fan of the Unplugged CD, but I'd never seen the MTV broadcast. I bought this DVD hoping for a good show. It far exceeded my expectations.
Kurt Cobain was dead years before I ever even heard of Nirvana. I got to know Nirvana through their audio. I avoided media coverage and other people's opinions on Kurt Cobain, because I can't stand celebrity worship or misguided fascination with his suicide. The man was incredibly talented. He made great music. He put his soul into his music. He cared about his work. Those are the nicest things I can say about almost any stranger.
Anyway, the concert is great. The band knew MTV would edit the show for broadcast, and it's relaxed, unhurried, and unaffected. The Unplugged album is a great showcase for Cobain's voice, and this show is even better. Neither the man nor his lips move much. He doesn't seem to be trying. In other words, he seems sincere. The band is infinitely more interesting to watch than any fan boy ever led me to believe. It felt good, to see this for myself. I can wear a Nirvana T-shirt now.
Cobain also seems high. He was addicted to heroin around the time this was recorded so... maybe.
Most importantly, the music is great. Better than ever. The songs felt better than new. |
