When Nirvana played the Reading Festival at the end of August in 1992, the band hadn’t rehearsed in months, according to Charles R. Cross’ infamous Cobain biography, Heavier Than Heaven. In fact, both drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Kist Novaselic had no idea if Kurt Cobain would even show. So, when a wheelchair appeared on the side stage carrying a bedraggled-looking Cobain decked out in an inexplicable blond wig and a long white lab coat, the crowd – and his bandmates – had no idea what to expect. As soon as Cobain stood up and strapped on his guitar, the crowd erupted, and the band tore through what is now a  legendary, heavily-bootlegged set. To milk the dead cash-cow that is Nirvana even further, the powers that be at Universal will release a sanctioned and remastered version of this performance on DVD and CD on November 3, 2009. The double LP will hit stores two weeks later.
