Product Details

Recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York City on November 18, 1993, less than five months before Kurt Cobain's death, this performance has long carried the weight of a farewell neither the band nor the audience knew they were witnessing. Cobain's choice to lean into covers, candles, and acoustic intimacy over hits felt almost defiant at the time; now it reads as a portrait of an artist on his own terms, right to the end.

Nirvana's classic MTV Unplugged in New York album is getting a 25th anniversary vinyl reissue. Marking the iconic lives set's first pressing as a double LP, the new edition features five rehearsal performances that were previously available on only the DVD release.

Among the rehearsals – which were previously only available as bonus content on the MTV Unplugged in New York – is a different take on the David Bowie cover “The Man Who Sold the World,” a version that finds both Nirvana and the production team finding their footing ahead of the concert. Rehearsal versions of “Polly,” “Pennyroyal Tea,” “Come As You Are” and the Meat Puppets’ “Plateau” are also included on the vinyl’s Side D.
