Even the people from MTV thought it was horrible. Even the band was blown away because they had very little practice for it and drummer Dave Grohl recalls “We did a few rehearsals and they were terrible. With an incredible setlist and spectacular musicians, Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged blew fans away. Although Dave, Chris, and Pat were on board Cobain refused, saying “I can’t top that last song.” MTV actually had a lot of complaints about the decisions Nirvana made like playing none of their hit songs except Come As You Are, not being totally unplugged, as well as Cobain’s refusal to do an encore. MTV was not fond of this decision due to the Meat Puppets not having many hits but Cobain insisted on the band joining them.
Nirvana brought on former tour friends the Meat Puppets and did covers of their tracks Plateau, Oh, Me, and Lake Of Fire. The show’s producer tried to cover the amp with a fake box. Cobain even insisted the show not be totally unplugged and brought his Fender Twin Reverb amp and refused to do the show without it. Like a funeral.” Nirvana wanted their show to be like no other MTV Unplugged concert ever done before. When the show producer asked, “You mean like a funeral?” Cobain replied “Exactly. Shortly after Cobain’s death the performance was released as an album and reached number one on the charts in Australia, North America and across Europe.Ĭobain insisted the stage to be decorated with black candles, flowers, and a crystal chandelier to give the stage a gloomy funeral look. Less than six months later on Apfrontman Kurt Cobain tragically took his life. Unlike any other Nirvana show before the band played almost all lesser-known songs and even covers.
