What sets this DVD apart from other similar documentaries is that it includes original music by Nirvana, if only in the form of short clips from live performances, music videos, studio albums and demos. There are also clips from live performances, music videos and studio albums by other influential bands, such as The Melvins, Black Flag, The Pixies, and Big Black (amongst others), and even a clip from a black-and-white movie showing actress Frances Farmer singing 'Come And Get It'!
People who were interviewed for this documentary include: Chad Channing (former Nirvana drummer); Tracy Marander (Kurt's first girlfriend); Ben Thompson (music journalist); Charles R. Cross (author of Kurt Cobain's biography, 'Heavier Than Heaven'); Jack Endino (producer/engineer and owner of Reciprocal Studios); David Stubbs (writer); Mark Paytress (music journalist); Peter Blecha (writer for The Seattle Times); Mark Sutherland (former Melody Maker editor, DJ for BBC 6 radio); Matthew 'Slim' Moon (Seattle scenester and founder of record label Kill All Rock Stars); Tim Appelo (film, TV and music journalist); and Andrew Mueller (journalist).
The quality of 'In Utero: A Classic Album Under Review' is very satisfactory. Not only is this documentary informative, but because it mostly uses video footage with only the occasional photo slideshow, 'In Utero: A Classic Album Under Review' makes for a dynamic film, which as a result makes for quite an interesting watch.
Overall, this DVD, while not essential, is a nice addition to any true Nirvana fan's collection.
