InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
SlyGuy21 As 2016 comes to a close, I take this time to reflect on the year that I've had. I won't go too much into detail, but let's just say the second half was way better than the first. I can now drive, I have a job, and I'm starting my Bachelor's in January, also, before the year officially ends, I have a tradition to finish. When the year's about to end, I watch one concert and one comedy special, so I can start the new year in a good mood. I decided on "Nirvana Unplugged" because earlier this year I saw "Montage of Heck" which was a great documentary on Kurt Cobain. This made me want to check out some of their live shows, and I chose the one they're best known for. There's still others like "Live at the Paramount", but I chose this mostly because they played a lot of obscure songs to me. I love that. Hearing the hits is one thing, but hearing songs you don't know can introduce you to new things. Kurt and the gang are fantastic in this, this isn't a rock concert with flashing lights and explosions and stage dives, this is a warts-and-all performance. Kurt's voice is so melancholic, and that added with the instruments and songs is so moving. Kurt truly was an icon for a generation, whether he liked it or not, and you can tell by watching this. "Nirvana Unplugged" is a raw, bare-bones, real performances for the ages, and there's a reason it's one of the most well known acoustic albums.R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
funkydoodycool Who would believe that I'm only just sitting down to watch this show for the first time ever! I've had the CD since it came out all those years ago, and its got to be one of my most listened CDs.Watching the live show now, it just adds an extra dimension to the music I already loved to death.I write songs, and I've always been a believer in "if it doesn't sound good on an acoustic guitar, its not good at all". I write punk and hard rock songs... and this film shows exactly why that statement is true.A must for all fans of music, especially those who denounced grunge (and most other rock for that matter)as "just a load of noise".
Directator I was speechless when i first saw this. I had heard the album of the Unplugged show but i had never seen it. I have always been a big fan of Nirvana and I still believe that they are the greatest band that that have ever graced the earth. This shows that they are in fact worthy of that title.Kurt Cobain sang his heart out and all the world watched. This show displayed all of his talents and all of his pain. This is the best "MTV Unplugged" and the best live performance of any band. I have already stated this but it's true. If you are a true Nirvana fan or you just have a deep understanding for music, this show put you in a state of awe. By the end you will have chills running down your spine and a few wells in your eyes.
cobain4ever494 Kurt Cobain is my favorite musician, and Nirvana is my favorite band (as one might assume from my e-mail address). Therefore, one may think my review to be biased. But this performance was without a doubt the best done on MTV's Unplugged series, and the best done by the band itself. Kurt's harsh voice draws from you emotion and thought, while the guitars by both he and Pat Smear soothe you. Krist Noveselic does a great job, keeping the deeper tone, which we all love, and Dave Grohl is amazing. The first time--for me anyway--that he has been seen doing backup vocals, especially on All Apologies. Key moments: Kurt's solo take on Pennyroyal Tea, the musical opus at the end of Plateau (a Meatpuppets cover, I think), and the powerful movement in the final verse of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (another cover, but of Ledbelly).
