I wouldn't get too excited about the actual remastered cd though.
There are so many remasters which sound worse than the original cd release.
Google "Loudness War" ...

The MFSL version of Nevermind is without a doubt better than the orignal CD, on good cans.

The way I'm reading this the set comes with a DVD, and the blu-ray is only a standalone release.

If the set came with a blu-ray that would wrap up my decision to get the Super Deluxe. Now I'm kind of mixed about what to get. Might just have to get the blu-ray. I'm sure both will be overpriced (i.e. $20+ for the blu-ray disc, and probably $80 or something for the 4CD+DVD)

Awsome news. Read it also on http://www.livenirvana.com

Nirvana is my fav band ever I collect many AMT and PRO shot shows on cd/dvd.

10/31/91 is a classic, GREAT performence by the band.
It's epic to have it on blu Never thought i would seen a Nirvana blu-ray release someday.

Epic performence, best Endless nameless ever IMO. Kurt's voice was particulary awsome that night

im skipping the 5cd special edition and im just getting the blu

[studmore]

It appears this is going to be presented in 1.66:1, I am assuming that is the OAR and it was shot on Super 16mm.



Taken from a YT promo:

Nirvana - Nevermind & Live At The Paramount (Trailer) - YouTube

Don't see why they would crop it to that size if it was shot on normal 16mm at 1.37:1.

Heck of a setlist. The still powerful grunge fan in me needs this. Now Pearl Jam needs a Blu Ray (I don't count the Eddie Vedder one as a PJ release)
