They ranged from really spotty to really incredible live, depending on what shows you hear as well as Kurt's mental state and drug use at the time.
The Reading dvd was pretty solid. I know they probably enhanced the sound digitally, but that was definitely on the upper crust of their live sets. I wish I could have seen them with sound that quality, probably would have pulled them closer to the Pixies for me.
