Although I had bought some of the catalogue in 2003, I wasn't a Nirvana fan until 2006, when I watched a TV special on the making of the 1991 album, and I realized I connected with some of the lyrics personally. I own every major release and even the box set and singles box. I still think the band is over-rated and that Cobain could be kinda childish and gross, but I think the Unplugged album showed where Nirvana might have progressed. Kurt had apparently wanted to do something more calm and talked about working with Michael Stipe of REM.
I remember feeling a sadness (not for the man but for totally selfish reasons of the music) that this creative guy had died not because of the music he had created, but the music he might have made. To be feeling that in 2006 is quite a latecomer emotion, I guess.
Anyway, I'm thrilled the DVD is coming out because I've always wanted this and almost bought a bootleg DVD of this; I'm glad I didn't! I hope the sound and picture are remastered well! There's still so much nicely-filmed concert footage they should have released, too.
