Where's the follow-up? This film documents, quite well, only the immediate period following the release of their smash hit "Nevermind" album. It is very nicely done, but it leaves fans thirsty for more in the way of a video release, especially in the advent of the DVD. Something from the In Utero tour? An uncut presentation of the landmark "Unplugged" performance (the bootleg doesn't cut it)? Aside from a very brief snippet of "Rape Me" playing in the background in one part, most of this is from the NEVERMIND record with a few cuts from BLEACH and INCESTICIDE sprinkled around. That was the plan though, I suppose, seeing as it's main objective is to cover the insane over-hype that followed the success of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
This is a must for Nirvana fans but more is due. Suppose the powers that be want to let an after-the-storm quiet ensue, though, so that the marketing machine can go full-throttle again when the post-grunge backlash fades away, and Nirvana is once again a profitable iconic entity. yay.
