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 re

DVD Reviews of Nirvana: Unplugged In New York

DVD Review: Perfection in its finest.
Summary: 5 Stars

Let me tell you something important before I start the review: I've been waiting to buy this DVD (with my own money) an *excruciating* period of time. I already had MTV Unplugged in New York and it was - as you guess - indescribably good, and I could spend hours and hours listening to the album over and over, over and over and again.

Seeing Nirvana, seeing Kurt performing on a tape for more than 3-4 minutes (one song) - was not something I experienced ever in my life. This DVD left me completely speechless and made my heartbeat stop just to capture a a simple moment, like one of my greatest wishes came through.

This is Kurt singing with his deepest emotions, with the saddest look on his face and the best, the best performance Nirvana ever did. It's also worthy to say that is not only completely amazing to see Kurt sing, but also it is very agonizing (at least for me) to see Kurt in this light. He looked very sad, not to my delight I must say.

Anyway, it doesn't get any better than this, an *absolute* must have for any Nirvana fan.

DVD Review: A Laid Back Performance for Nirvana.
Summary: 5 Stars

After hearing mostly the harsh abrasive side of Nirvana, this Unplugged Nirvana performance accents another side of Nirvana's sound, stripped down. Also, a strong performance my Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

DVD Review: Permeated Funeral
Summary: 5 Stars

During the "Unpluged" event Kurt pushed MTV to have more candels & more white flowers. It seems as if this was a sign that the "Unpluged" event was Kurt's way of attending his own wake alive. If you buy the DVD you will see what I meen. This DVD has the full cut of the "unpluged" event with over 20 min that was not shown on MTV. If you are a true Nirvana fan you don't want to miss this chance to see Kurt's 'permeated funeral concert' on this amazing DVD, not only to see a moment of Nirvana history, but to get a front row seat to his funeral / wake!

DVD Review: I love this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a Nirvana fan must have. It is great. Great to see Kurt in an intimate setting again.

DVD Review: Who Knew
Summary: 5 Stars

I am sorry I waited so long to find out what Cobane was about. His music in the DVD is haunting.

Description of Nirvana: Unplugged In New York

While the album of the same name made its first appearance in 1994, and went on to become Nirvana's second best selling CD of all time, nearly 15 years have passed since that memorable initial broadcast. Now, fans will finally get the chance to see the release of the entire, unedited performance...with neverbefore- seen footage...on DVD...and in Dolby Stereo and 5.1 Surround sound. Mixed in surround sound by legendary surround mixing engineer Elliot Scheiner, this DVD allows fans to experience this performance like never before, completely unedited including the two songs not originally broadcasted ("Something In The Way" and "Oh Me" ), and with the best sound ever available (to anyone not in the studio for the original taping.) For the purists, also included on this DVD is the original 44 min broadcast version of the show, plus never-before-seen REHEARSAL performances. As an extra bonus to the DVD, a 14-minute interview segment called Bare Witness produced by MTV focuses on the recollections of those who experienced this magical moment in music history, those who produced it and interviews with the band from the day of the taping.
