Nirvana’s ‘Unplugged’ concert finally sees DVD release Nov. 20

Following Nirvana’s lackluster box set and greatest hits record, which were released more for Courtney Love’s purse than Nirvana’s legacy, comes news that Nirvana’s “Unplugged in New York” will come out on DVD. The news comes from Billboard, who reports that MTV finally got off their ass and will let us own what’s probably the best in their series of “Unplugged” concerts.

From their site: “Like the CD, the DVD will include the songs ‘Something in the Way’ and ‘Oh Me,’ which did not appear on the original MTV broadcast. The DVD also sports four tracks from the band’s soundcheck and previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage.”

I don’t remember ‘Oh, Me’ being left off the TV broadcast but I’m glad they included it on the DVD release–it is one of the strongest songs in the concert. Owning this DVD will be a great nostalgic trip for fans of Nirvana and grudge rock, and the DVD will gladly join both the CD and tape versions in my collection.

Interesting fact: Billboard notes that “Unplugged in New York” was the first Nirvana product to come out following Kurt Cobain’s suicide. Full track list after the jump.
