The show was directed by Beth McCarthy and aired on the cable television network MTV on December 16, 1993. [UNDER PROGRESS] Nirvana used electric amplification and guitar effects during the set. They were joined by rhythm guitarist Pat Smear and cellist Lori Goldston, alongside Meat Puppets members Cris and Curt Kirkwood for some songs.
