Nirvana Unplugged DVD

Nirvana Unplugged was (and is) the most successful Unplugged to date. The performance, and subsequent CD, introduced audiences to a different side of the grunge rockers. It also created a whole new Nirvana fan base. Parents that used to yell, “turn that grunge crap down” were now listening to the same band unplugged in their cars.
It solidified Nirvana as a genre defining, generation impacting, eventual rock and roll hall of fame musical force.
The original performance was taped November 18th, 2003. This long anticipated DVD package includes the original unedited footage in its entirety as well as the edited MTV-aired version as a bonus feature. The most unique thing about this performance was the setting and set list (and Kurt’s sweater)
“Seeing this iconic group perform in such an intimate setting, and with such minimal instrumentation is something of a revelation, especially considering that the band opted not to do a list of hits, and instead spent a good deal of time doing covers and showcasing other musicians, such as The Meat Puppets. “
The core of the DVD is the historical performance itself. It is sure to give you goosebumps.
Additional features include MTV News: Bare Witness, a 14 minute recap of the concert involving fans who were there and technicians and producers who helped organize the event. Some rehearsal footage is also included, though it is mainly for die-hard fans.
This is a key DVD to any music fans collections and an obvious must for any Nirvana fan.
