In December 1993, two months after the band unleashed In Utero, Nirvana performed at Pier 48 in their hometown of Seattle, which was recorded and broadcast on MTV’s Live and Loud.
Recorded weeks after their iconic MTV Unplugged performance, it became one of the final televised appearances from Kurt Cobain.
Nirvana’s iconic 1993 Live and Loud performance, recorded by MTV, will soon be available on streaming services and is also getting pressed to vinyl.
The recording was released as a video album, Live and Loud, in 2013, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s last album, In Utero, and was also pressed onto CD for deluxe editions of the album.
Now, fans without CD or DVD players are finally getting the chance to experience Nirvana’s stellar live performance. The band has announced via the official Nirvana twitter account that the iconic performance will be released on vinyl and on streaming services for the first time.
Announced today that on August 30th LIVE AND LOUD, recorded Dec. 13, 1993, will be available both digitally and on vinyl for the first time.
