Nirvana - Live at Reading (Day 22)

This concert started off with an edge! There's an intensity and preciseness to their playing right from the start of the show with the song 'Breed'.  They were definitely at the top of their game when they came onstage.  The drums and bass roll along in 'Aneurysm' with this awesome meaty sound behind Kurt's vocals.  The vocals get a little loopy on 'Sliver' but that playfulness, and the fact that they do not take themselves too seriously, is part of what drew me to the band initially.  On the DVD of the performance, before they play 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', you hear what sounds like the opening riff of the song, but instead hear Krist Novoselic singing Boston's 'More Than A Feeling'.  The accompanying smirk by Kurt is priceless.  Suffice it to say, the rest of the concert is solid.  I love little things like the feedback in the second verse of 'Negative Creep'!  I really like how they ended the show with a couple of B-sides and 'Territorial Pissings'.  These guys knew how to make a setlist.
