Perhaps the most memorable music television performance of the last 20 years came in 1994, when Nirvana did the impossible and became more popular with a one-night stint on "MTV Unplugged in New York." With Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic that night were The Meat Puppets, one of Nirvana's favorite bands. The groups were on tour together, so the choice to include the Puppets was natural, even if MTV would have preferred Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. "It was just whispers, kind of feeling a little bit like we snuck in there," Curt Kirkwood recently told "Billboard" about the experience. "But at the same time, they had to be nice to us 'cause it was at the behest of the headliners ... I think they thought they might get Eddie Vedder out there ... the Pearl Jam thing came up. But once again — we'd been outsiders up to that point, so I figured it was just par for the course. We're outsiders. They're outsiders, too. Nirvana was definitely coming from the outside ... But I kind of got a kick out of it, like, 'Oh, they don't want us here? Good.'"
