Product Description
Kurt Cobain loved to confound his fans' expectations during his brief stint in the spotlight. 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. 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. 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. 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.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/LIVE PERFORMANCES UPC: 602517506305 Manufacturer No: B0010263-09

Awesome concert September 7, 2008
I never was into nirvana until this year and I always seen them as a loud screaming band. I never thought they could pull this kind of proformace off. And in this they did. Kurt was amazing at how he sung each song in a very mellow tone. This dvd is worth having.
Nostalgia at its finest August 17, 2008
I had been looking for this DVD for years.
I am not a huge Nirvana fan, but this is a must have for any early 90's music fan.
A true treasure for the music enthusiast.
Almost Epic July 11, 2008

The show is stunning; especially if you forgot about it and haven't watched it years. Some things you'll notice and love are: the uncut broadcast of course, different camara angles for a lot of shots and views that are new to everybody that is used to MTV original broadcast. Also, the new audio mastering sounds just incredible.
Bonus features include the practice session in which they rehearse some songs.
There is also an interview bonus section; nothing out of this world, but it's a plus.
Since the audio was not edited for this DVD, you can hear Kurt messing up the lyrics for the song Lake of Fire.
I was used to the original broadcast and so I never got to taste what raw power was behind the show. This was released just in time to make me remeber how much I love this band and how cool to see any uncut performance is, specially if it has this incredible energy and honesty.
All in all, this is must have for any Nirvana fan and a nice gift to the rest of the world.
A Must Have for any Nirvana fan!!! July 5, 2008

I saw this original performance on MTV's Unplugged and immediately became a Nirvana fan. A great upclose and personnal accustic musical performance with Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. Truly shows the very gifted talent of Cobain but a sobering reminder of a great loss for music.
Absolutely great! May 13, 2008
I knew this would be good but didn't realize that they would be doing cover songs which I thought was nice. I assumed they would just be doing accoustic versions of their songs. Kurt Cobain was too cute for words, you could see that he was a little nervous but what a great show. Well worth the money to own a piece of history.
