The official masterpiece video that conveys the heyday is an upgrade. A remastered version where maniacs all over the world are excited is now available.
The masterpiece video was filmed at the “August 30, 1992 Reading Festival” performance. Yes, it is the latest and highest peak updated version of the multi-camera pro shot that has reigned as a classic standard that transcends the official/unofficial frame. Speaking of NIRVANA in 1992, the performance in Japan that was realized only once is also famous as a legend. In order to remember such a time, let’s first check the position of the show in the schedule.

1992 NIRVANA. The appearance of this work at Reading Festival is half a year after the first visit to Japan. It was also the last British performance recorded for them. Such a show is also famous for the fact that professional shots were left, and it has been a staple of bootlegs for a long time. In 2009, it was made into an official DVD, and is now widely loved as the most important image of NIRVANA.
This work is the latest upgraded version of such a symbolic image. It is not something that maniacs made arbitrarily, but a remastered version that has been refined by a genuine official side. The quality is exactly the highest update. At the time of the official DVD, it was more beautifully brushed up than the bootleg, but it sounds even more beautiful. There is no difference in color development whether the official DVD was also raised from the original master, but the detail resolution is another dimension. Each wrinkle on the white shirt and each blond hair that is disturbed are clearly vivid. Moreover, it is also a point that there is no unnatural processing feeling like raising the highlight. It is a natural high image quality that makes it easy to see that digital technology is used to improve the reproducibility of the original master, rather than a simple high-end.
And what can be said to be more than the visual beauty is the audio. The official DVD was also the official sound (as a matter of course), but after this work it sounds full of ara. The stereo feeling was rightward, probably because the phase was shifted, and the sound was flat. However, in this work, the localization is not only in the center, but also extremely three-dimensional. The “core” and “ringing” are firmly drawn, and the former has a crisp nucleus, and the latter can feel the vibration of the body of the instrument. The “one-note drama” from the beginning to the climax, and the moment when it disappears into the void, is clearly expressed, and you can even feel the “gap” between the instruments. From the video, it is a multi-camera that switches between the three people, but the audio is also a super-realistic three-dimensional sound that makes you feel like you are between the three.
NIRVANA, who was in the middle of the climax, is drawn with such a menacing upgrade quality. It’s a very famous show, so you don’t need a commentary, but it’s also a good opportunity, so let’s just organize the set.

Nevermind (11 songs)
・Breed／Drain You／In Bloom／Come As You Are／Lithium／Polly／Lounge Act／Smells Like Teen Spirit／On a Plain／Stay Away／Territorial Pissings

NIRVANA was more of an era than a band. It is a shocking image that the symbol stage revives with unprecedented quality. It is no exaggeration to say that the existence of NIRVANA is already surpassing, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a page in the history of human culture. It is the birth of one piece that I would like you to look at and face.

★ Superb multi-camera pro shot of “August 30, 1992 Reading Festival Performance”. It is a large standard video that was also made into an official DVD in 2009, but this work is an upgraded version that updates its highest peak. It is a remastered version that the official side has refined, and the image beauty with much improved resolution and detail reproducibility is overwhelming, and the flat sound has been reborn in three dimensions. It is a cultural heritage-class shocking image that brings back the figure of NIRVANA, who was at the peak as a darling of the times, with unprecedented quality.
