Nirvana

Ah, the iconic performance, "Been A Son" at Reading in 1992! By that time, Nirvana had already released their groundbreaking album "Nevermind," which hit shelves in 1991 and completely reshaped the music landscape, propelling grunge into the mainstream. The Reading Festival appearance took place just a year after that explosion, but notably, it was a defining moment that showcased the band's raw energy and Kurt Cobain's magnetic stage presence. Talk about electric! Nirvana played in front of a massive crowd, and the buzz was palpable, echoing their meteoric rise to fame. It was also a period marked by Cobain's struggle with fame, which added an intriguing layer of tension to their performances. Interestingly, during this festival, they debuted "All Apologies," hinting at their evolving sound following "Nevermind." That blend of the familiar and the new created a captivating atmosphere, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential bands of that era.
