It's been bootlegged to infinity and back, but now it's official: Rock act Nirvana's 1992 "Live at Reading" concert has been released in a CD/DVD twofer from Geffen Records.

It was worth the wait. Lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain — and the band — died in 1994. Some say they both committed suicide, but here is proof that both may indeed be immortal.

The year was a turbulent one for Nirvana. Cobain is wheeled onto stage in a wheelchair — he's making a mockery of his recent stint in rehab. ... The band had one practice together before this mammoth show, and drummer Dave Grohl was well-quoted as saying that he feared the gig would herald the band's onstage implosion.

On the contrary, Cobain's hospital gown-wearing, distortion-fueled performance became the hallmark by which the band would forever be remembered.

No, this Reading gig isn't the greatest concert ever performed. It's not even Nirvana's best live show.

Rating: 92 (out of 100)
