Originally conceived by Kurt Cobain, Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! is a video document of Nirvana’s rise from a scruffy trio from the Pacific Northwest into one of the most iconic and important bands in the history of rock music. Combining live material from their ’91-’92 Nevermind tour, Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! has long been the “holy grail” for Nirvana fans. Digitally remastered live performances of songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", "Breed", "Drain You" and "Aneurysm" are mixed into loads of interview footage from across the world.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
hyped garbage
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The period that the film covers was the peak of great Nirvana performances: the middle years when the band was now very musically tight and filled with the excitement of the small social revolution that the early 1990's was bubbling with. They were the most popular band in the world and the performances reflected all the excitement, confusion and passionate fury that came out of being propelled into the mass media.A few personal highlights are the wonderfully cathartic destruction of "Endless Nameless" and the overwhelming meloncholly of the pumped electric version of "Something in the Way."If you liked the footage of this film I recommend "The Year Punk Broke" which is a similar documentary of a Sonic Youth tour with a beautiful version of Nirvana (before the disillusionment of fame, etc)opening up for them all across Europe right on the edge of Nirvana's breakthough to the world wide fame. Cobain is giddy and playing better than ever in this footage which is a rare treat to Nirvana fans...the giddiness that is. Plus Sonic Youth is forever fantastic."my whole existence is for your amusement and that is why i'm here with you...today i found my nirvana"-nirvana, BLEACH, "paper cuts"
The three members of Nirvana are inarguably some of the most creative original talented musicians to emerge in rock since....? But better then that they were a bunch of smart asses with a mission. They specifically choose a a stubbornly butchered rendition of their most popular song to put on their video as a comical trick on those who would look no deeper into the band then it's radio played singles. If this video doesn't capture the spirit of the post punk alternative movement I don't know what does. Small glimpses into the band's opinions and behaviors, self mocking views through the public's sometimes stupid eyes, corporate knocking, apathetic, smart. It's all there. The band takes some of they're most and least popular and throw them together on this 90 min montage of imagery and good music.
This is the best video I have ever seen period. It does a great job of showing Kurt Cobain and the rest of Nirvana. It shows how they act off screen and not singing plus it shows real good concert videos. If you like Kurt Cobain you also need to rent Kurt and Courtney. This does a great job of showing his life and tragic death and it does shed a lot of light of him being possibly murdered.
This is just an,as already mentioned, awesome Video,because you really get an pretty good impression of what the band nirvana was like.Unfortunately it's not only the best,but at the same time only (released) Nirvana video.The fact that the video is a product of a "Mainstream" and "commercial" label makes it just a bit more admirable. Congratulations on that one!
