>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Programme Title: MTV Nirvana Tribute
Broadcast Date/s: 06/03/94, 04/95
Length: 90 Minutes
Notes: This being an MTV profile is rather difficult to list as some clips appear more than once and interviews crop up again throughout the video (which would make the content list a mess) for this reason I have only listed the first showing of the featured item. Basically this special is an enlarged version of Past Present and Future with extra footage thrown in. The band interviews and live footage in this video are outlined in detail below.

Of the other footage Kurt's bottle smashing and Dave grabbing oranges from the backstage buffet are taken from 1991: The Year That Punk Broke video. Dave and Krist out and about in London is taken from Krist's home video of the 1990 European tour (for further details of this please check out Live Nirvana's Inside The Horror Movie). There is also brief home video clips of Kurt feeding Frances shown in the credits. All promos are shown in full except Big Cheese, which is just a short clip.

There are several interviews featured in this special all except interview 3 feature in short clips. Interview (3) is Nirvana's Past Present and Future profile, recorded 12/13/93 in Seattle, WA and acts as a narrative for the special. Of the other interviews:

Interview (1) is Dave and Krist from 09/23/91, Axis Nightclub, Boston, MA.
Interview (2) is the whole band from 08/23/91, Reading Festival, Reading, UK.
Interview (4) is done in September 1992 and is the band sitting by a swimming pool with Kurt holding Frances.
Interview (5) is Kurt from January 1993 in Rio de Janeiro.
Interview (6) is from September 1993 with the band sitting on stools.
Interview (7) is the band sitting on a sofa recorded 10/18/93, Veterans Memorial Stadium, Phoenix, AZ.
