Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

There was a trend in the 90s (and before the 90s I guess) when releasing live albums the idea was to make a compilation of the best version of the songs and make it seem that all the songs were all from the one concert – even if they were recorded months or years apart.  These days record companies release an entire concert which gives a more complete picture of what happens on an individual night.  For me, that’s part of the appeal of a live album.  Seeing a band without a safety net and experiencing the thrill of a live performance.  If I wanted perfection, I would listen to a studio album.  This album is ok, but it feels a bit disjointed as if it was recorded all over the place.  Because it was.
