The explosive, impulsive-but-retiring genius of Kurt Cobain, mixed with the creative efficiency of Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, made for an electric mixture of pop-punk, with haunting lyrics, dynamite riffs and stunning energy. From 1989 to 1994 the band played around the world to a host of adoring fans, and this book takes you along on that wild ride: to Seattle in the late 1980s where grunge was taking off; to Reading Music Festival in 1992, one of Nirvana's greatest shows; and to the final days that culminated in the tragic suicide of Kurt Cobain. The story is told in words, photographs and items of rare facsimile memorabilia, uncluding set-lists, tickets to the rarest shows, backstage passes and much more from a significant private collection.

Gillian G. Gaar is a celebrated music journalist and has written for Mojo and Rolling Stone, and served as a project consultant on Nirvana's posthumous With The Lights Out boxed set. She lives in Seattle.
