I'd like to know the background as to how the Kirkwood brothers being included came to be for this performance. Nirvana could have picked probably any band to be included in this performance like Sonic Youth, X, Melvins, Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson from the Replacements, Bob Mould and Grant Hart from Husker Du, so many possibilities. Love that they picked the Puppets!


They were on tour together shortly before that, or around the same time. Nirvana rehearsed the Meat Puppets songs themselves, but couldn't quite get them right, so they thought the Kirkwood brothers would help. Cobain was extremely afraid of doing Unplugged, and insisted people he knew and who liked him sat in the front, so he could look at them during the performance. I'm pretty sure they only did one take of each song, since he was so driven to not mess up (other episodes typically had a few takes of the songs--Neil Young even scrapped his original taping and redid it).

Jonathan Richman (as well as the Modern Lovers) is one of my favorite musicians. My wife agrees that he is utterly charming when you see him live.


HighLlama: If you haven't seen this already, check out who the other guests are at the end of the song......



Haha, Jello! Great clip. Her performs that song in Kingpin, too.

But I'm just dumb enough to try
To keep you in my life
For a little while longer
And I'm insane enough to think
I'm gonna get out with my skin
And start my life again

Re: Captain n Tennille,
I just got my vinyl copy back from my mother's house a few weeks ago. I'm wearing it out now.
Elton and I used to dance to it when we were married. :wink:
