The band also went back-and-forth between MTV’s producers as to the overall direction of the performance and the band’s choice on having members of the Meat Puppets join them on stage. The days leading up to the taped performance didn’t go without their fair share of issues, with Kurt Cobain being beyond tense and nervous to perform a completely acoustic show (he demanded the use of effects pedals). Over the course of its run on MTV, incredible performances from a myriad of musical acts including 10,000 Maniacs, Aerosmith, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Stone Temple Pilots, Eric Clapton, aired on the television program, in addition to one of Alice In Chains‘ final performances as a band. Arguably one of the most popular episodes from MTV’s Unplugged series belongs to Nirvana when they put on an acoustic performance that was filmed live on November 18th, 1993. MTV Unplugged will go down in pop culture history as one of the most beloved live performance shows of its generation.
