And Finally
Grohl thought Reading show could be Nirvana’s last
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 November 2009
Dave Grohl has admitted that prior to Nirvana’s now legendary Reading Festival performance in 1992, which was released on DVD this month, he thought it could have been the band’s last. Mainly because he expected it all to go horribly horribly wrong.
Speaking to The Scotsman, he said: “I really thought, ‘This will be a disaster, this will be the end of our career, for sure’. Kurt had been in and out of rehab, communication in the band was beginning to be strained. Kurt was living in LA, Krist and I were in Seattle. People weren’t even sure if we were going to show up. We rehearsed once, the night before, and it wasn’t good. It turned out to be a wonderful show, and it healed us for a little while”.
