Nirvana’s ‘Unplugged’ Comes To DVD
It was a raw, moving performance that revealed another side of Nirvana to the world.
Fourteen years after the Seattle band’s landmark “MTV Unplugged” taping, the show is finally making its way to DVD on Nov. 20.
“Unplugged in New York” will show the unedited 66-minute concert in its entirety, including two tracks that weren’t in the original 44-minute television broadcast: “Something In The Way” and “Oh Me.”
The DVD will also feature previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage and four songs recorded during Nirvana’s pre-show soundcheck at Sony Music Studios.
The band opted to perform some lesser-known album tracks and six covers during their Unplugged performance on Nov. 18, 2003, including David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” and the traditional folk song “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?”
The show, which aired a month later on Dec. 14, was also made into an album. It was released 12 months after the taping, making it was the first Nirvana album following the suicide of frontman Kurt Cobain.
