So, we decided to spend our week watching the entirety of our measly music DVD collection. Amongst them were the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, King Crimson, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead and a few others.

It was only on the fourth night we decided to put on a DVD which I bought many years ago, of which I have not heard since the era when my speakers consisted of an ice cream cone and a walnut whip - Nirvana: Unplugged in New York.

The quality of the recording is superb, I was instantly transported back through fifteen years of my life. As much as I've grown out of Nirvana these days, just watching that quietly powerful performance reignites the fire of youth. Highest rated so far, though we're watching the Directors Label box set tomorrow night - Mark Romanek / Johnny Cash - Hurt. Ouch.

Available on Amazon for £4.98, a brilliant live performance that caused quite a stir when it was first broadcast, those grunge guys can really play!

It was and is a fairly legendary performance, although by no means perfect. Kurt makes quite a few noticeable mistakes throughout!

saw them at the academy manchester in '90-'91, they never played the same song twice,that night they varied from brilliant to ok.cobain was notorious for his tangential liberalisation,shall we say.so as far as him making mistakes is concerned,he played what he wanted to,and did'nt play what he did'nt want to.grohl and novoselic just went with it! still,the buzz i get telling my 15 year old daughter's friends that i saw them live is marvellous!

You got the dvd a few years ago? was it a bootleg -or rather- "unofficial" version? i thought the DVD only came out last year.
