The box set spans Nirvana's entire career, from a recording of Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" at the band's first show in 1987 to solo acoustic performances from singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain in 1994. With The Lights Out features a 60-page color booklet with rare photos and liner notes by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and writer Neil Strauss. The three CDs, arranged largely chronologically contains home and rehearsal demos, including for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (whose lyric "With the lights out" provides the set's title), "Rape Me," "Heart Shaped Box" and a trio penned by legendary bluesman Leadbelly. Heard in the 12 previously unreleased solo acoustic tracks are such gems as "All Apologies," "Lithium" and "Sliver." Six previously unreleased radio performances range from "Anorexorcist" in 1987 to "Dumb" in 1991 (two years before it was on 1993's In Utero). Along with the remaining debuts are a handful of earlier issued, though rare, b-sides and demos as well as the original Butch Vig mix of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Highlighted on the With The Lights Out DVD is a previously unreleased video of nine songs performed in 1988 at bassist Krist Novoselic's mother's house in Aberdeen, Washington; the rare "In Bloom" Sub Pop music video, and 10 never-before-seen live performances. Noteworthy among them are debut renditions of "Pennyroyal Tea", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" both from early 1991. Also premiering is an unlikely performance of Jacques Brel and Rod McKuen's "Seasons In The Sun" shot at a Rio de Janeiro studio.

Summary: case looks good
Comment: the audio quality on these tracks is absolute crap....
I've heard demos before... these are worse than demos.
They must have recorded these with a portable cassette player, that, or i'm thankful to god curt cobain died before i could hear him in concert.

Summary: Much Better Than Expected
Comment: I anticipated something different and got it. Nice variations on Nirvana standards and stuff that commercial radio would never touch. It makes it sadder that Cobain is gone. In retrospect, he was a real innovator and created a lot of the genre, which shows through in this set.

Summary: Wonderful collection of music
Comment: Nirvana is one of my favorite bands. This is a great collections of songs. I really enjoy listening to this album from the first track to the last without skipping any songs.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great!!
Comment: I was a little hesitate to buy this mainly because I don't like the idea of buying something after someone has passed away and the money going to that persons estate, namely Courtney Love. But, after much delema I went on with the purchase and I am happy that I did. All of the CD's are great but the DVD is especially awesome, seeing Kurt playing drums on Seasons in the Sun was absolutely hilarious. All in all with the packaging and the pictures it was a great buy and I'll treasure it always.

Summary: I was amazed
Comment: I have always been a Nirvana fan from the very beginning but when I bought this collection it was a revealing experience listening to demo songs and rehearsals as it showed me a new side of nirvana and their music. Nirvana fans, buy it!!!
