Were they a big Nirvana fan before going to Unplugged? - Yep. I just needed to bring a canned good for a Thanksgiving food drive and that was my admission. It opened with "Time to change your name to lucky!" It said Nirvana were doing an Unplugged for MTV and several fans (out of a million) from their fanclub there and I was one of them. I wrote into a tiny "Nirvana Fanclub" ad in the back of SPIN magazine thinking it was another fan I could potentially trade bootlegs with or something, never heard anything for 7 or so months and then randomly got a letter in the mail from their "official fanclub". Nirvana was my favorite band of all time and on top of seeing them unplugged that week, I also went to both electric shows. I was 16 years old at the time and sitting right behind Dave Grohl for the unplugged show, so I'll gladly answer these questions as I seldom get the chance to talk about it.ĭo they realize how lucky they were? - Absolutely.

I was used to the original broadcast and so I never got to taste the raw power that was behind this show, and it was released just in time to make me remember how much I love this band and how cool to see any uncut performance is, specially if it has this incredible energy and honesty. Since the audio was not edited for this DVD to be TV/fan-friendly, you can hear Kurt messing up the lyrics for the song Lake of Fire. There is also an interview bonus section nothing out of this world, but it's a plus. Bonus features include the practice session in which they rehearse some songs. Things you'll notice and love are: the uncut broadcast (of course), different camera angles for a lot of shots, and the new audio mastering sounds just amazing. Show's stunning especially if you forgot about it and haven't watched it in some time. This release includes the entire performance, and is supplemented by some rehearsal footage for the sessions and a couple of tracks that weren't originally broadcast by MTV. Among the many highlights is the performance of "Jesus Don't Want Me For a Sunbeam," which was originally by Scottish indie-pop group (and longstanding favorite of Cobain's) the Vaselines a stunning opening in the form of the BLEACH-era track "About a Girl" and a selection of songs originally performed by underground rock act the Meat Puppets. The results were startling, and for many viewers a hidden depth to Cobain's songwriting talents were revealed as gentle renditions of NEVERMIND staples such as "On a Plain" and "Come As You Are" were stripped down and performed for a specially invited audience. So when Nirvana gathered in New York City on November 18, 1993, he had another trick up his sleeve-an acoustic performance of the raw, ferocious grunge songs that propelled the band to stardom.
