Fourteen years after it originally aired, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged taping will finally be available on DVD on Nov. 20 via Universal Music Enterprises.

The album recorded during the Nov. 18, 1993 performance was released 12 months later and was the first Nirvana album after the suicide of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in April.

Like the Grammy Award-winning album, the new DVD will feature the entire, unedited 66-minute concert, including two tracks that weren't included in the original television broadcast: "Something In The Way" and "Oh Me." The DVD will also include previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage and four tracks that were recorded during the band's pre-show soundcheck at Sony Music Studios.

Rather than rehashing their established hits for the Unplugged performance, the band performed some lesser-known album tracks and six covers: the Meat Puppets' "Plateau," "Oh Me" and "Lake Of Fire;" David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World;" The Vaselines' "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam;" and the traditional "Where Did You Sleep Last Night."

Here are the tracks on MTV Unplugged In New York:

"About A Girl"
"Come As You Are"
"Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam"
"The Man Who Sold The World"
"Pennyroyal Tea"
"Dumb"
"Polly"
"On A Plain"
"Something In The Way"
"Plateau"
"Oh Me"
"Lake Of Fire"
"All Apologies"
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
