The conceit of MTV Unplugged is simple - get a big rock band to come in and play an acoustic set of their greatest hits. Nirvana approached the challenge differently, picking deep cuts and covers over hits, and featuring The Meat Puppets as special guests. Cobain sounds a little nervous at the start and also uses some amplification and effects in places. He passed away 5 months after this recording, lending it a poignant air, especially on Come As You Are.

Nirvana at it's best. Bought the CD when it came out. I chose the video version so you can see Curt in his nice sweater.

If not the best Unplugged album of all times. A stellar performance I remember seeing on MTV for the first time. With a lot of foreboding, what would happen in april of 1994....
