Back in 1992 we were stood in a wet field awaiting was was to be one the most influential shows on earth! We are talking about Nirvana of course!
That moment when Everett True pushed Kurt Cobain on in a wheelschair and Dave and Chris picked up their intruments was serioulsy exciting and the show itself has been spoken about for years.

We were gutted at the time, but now, that famous night is going to return to your TV screen and stereo as a double pack CD/DVD.
