Notes:

• Milton Lage directed this episode of Unplugged, as well as the shows with Melissa Etheridge and The Cranberries.
• Courtney was eventually sued by the surviving members of Nirvana over the use of You’ve Got No Right (aka You Know You’re Right), which was written by Kurt.
• There were 300 people in the audience, including Drew Barrymore (Eric’s then-girlfriend), Patricia Arquette, Spike Jonze, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, MTV VJ Kennedy, and MTV news reporter Tabitha Soren.
