Notes for PRO-V #1: Multi camera PRO-shot video recorded by MTV. Complete unbroadcast session tape. This complete source tape of the session features the soundcheck and extra between song footage not shown by MTV in their edited broadcasts (see PRO-V #2 below). The tape was presumably leaked from the MTV vaults. 'On A Plain' cuts in. A 1st generation video has been transferred to DVD; see Live Nirvana's DVD Guide for more information. The soundcheck portion and the actual show are available on a number of bootlegs but in inferior quality; see Live Nirvana's Audiophile Completists' Guide To Nirvana Bootlegs for more information on commercial releases of this show. Also consult Live Nirvana's Sessions History for more information about the recording of this TV session.
Notes for PRO-V #2: Multi camera PRO-shot video recorded by MTV. Incomplete television broadcast version. This show has been broadcast many times, in varying lengths. A "complete" version (including all the songs, except the soundcheck, and missing some between song downtime) has been broadcast. Television broadcast versions have superior sound to the complete session tape. A digital satellite broadcast has been transferred directly to DVD; see the Live Nirvana DVD Guide for more information.
