Kurt Cobain and the guys proved they were more than just another gunge band with this performance. Instead of just relying of their hits, Nirvana used their Unplugged set to showcase some of their favorite song and even brought their friends the Meat Puppets along for the ride. Their Unplugged set is one of those perfect musical moments that we are so fortunate was recorded for prosperity.

Now finally after all these years the 1994 performance has been released on DVD with every extra you could ever hope for. Not only do we have the original 44 minute broadcasted version of the show, but finally for the first time we get to witness what the audience that night was privy to see. The entire unedited performance of all 14 songs are all here in Dolby Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound. It looks and sounds better than ever.

If that’s not enough there are a few little extras that will surely whet your appetite. The main one here is the rehearsal footage where we get to see the band work on the arrangements on such songs like “Come As You Are,” “Polly” and their beautiful rendition of Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World.”

Mtv News: Bare Witness is an additional feature that includes interviews with the band and some of Mtv’s staff who were there. It’s a bit of a fluff piece but still worth watching if just for the interviews they did with the band day of show.

Mtv has finally done the Nirvana performance justice by finally releasing a definitive version of the show. This is the closest anyone will ever get to what it was like to be in the audience that night. Nirvana’s Unplugged performance is surely one of those great rock ‘n’ roll television moments and this DVD is the testament of a band that ended way too soon.
