Finally...
I've been hoping for this DVD since I first learned that the Audio CD was going to be released. This show is unique - nothing else in the Unplugged series could match it and was a huge departure from other Nirvana live performances. Nirvana never conformed to anyone else's standards, and their MTV Unplugged performance is another example. In the "Bare Witness" segment, MTV producers admit to being worried about how it would turn out because Nirvana didn't follow the show's formula for success. They didn't play their best-known hits, they played a lot of cover tunes, they didn't invite a high-profile celebrity artist to be their guest performer and they didn't even do retakes - they just let it stand. But those very things are what makes this performance so special, so real and so timeless.
What happened to MTV?
The Nirvana unplugged concert on MTV is burned into my soul as one of my fondest memories of the 1990's. The song writing was brilliant and the sound was so raw.
It's sad that such a peaceful, mellow, and talented era was replaced by a bunch of corporate lip syncing jokers. MTV barely even plays music anymore. Yeah, they had non-music stuff in the 1990's such as the rock and jock games, singled out with Jenny McCarthy, and Beavis and Butthead (but at least they had a music theme to them). Every show today on MTV is just an excuse to show half naked teenage girls, and promote a shallow lifestyle.
Kurt,, we miss u!
I can only say this is a wonderful tribute for those of us who love Kurt's talent. Cannot stop watching. Only appreciated I think by those of us who appreciate his love of HIS art.
"Nine Inch Nails?" (as an aside, Kurt since you left us, NIN works for now)
Hope Frances Bean is doing well. You've great, very talented parents! Courtney, please take care!
