Nirvana – MTV Unplugged in New York (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Taped at Sony Music Studios in New York City on November 18, 1993, this performance leaned heavily on covers, with Kurt Cobain drawing from David Bowie, Lead Belly, and the Meat Puppets in ways that revealed his obsessions more honestly than any press interview ever could. The Meat Puppets' Curt and Cris Kirkwood even joined the band onstage, one of the night's quietly historic moments. Spinning this on vinyl only deepens the intimacy of a set that was already uncomfortably close to the bone.
Vinyl LP pressing of this live release from the Grunge heroes. Recorded in November 1993, less than six months before singer Kurt Cobain killed himself, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged is a watershed document that presents a band at the peak of its powers. Unlike any other unplugged affair, the diverse album is not a simple stripped-down regurgitation of greatest hits or a cash-it-in set of nostalgic favorites. Rather, the live effort is among the most emotionally naked spectacles ever released an album so starkly intense and profoundly personal, it's impossible not to get chills down the spine. The set list is as surprising as the stylistic makeover. Save for renditions of 'All Apologies' and 'Come As You Are', the adventurous material includes brooding covers of the Meat Puppets' 'Lake of Fire', 'Plateau', and 'Oh Me' as well as harrowing versions of David Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold the World', and the Vaselines' 'Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam'.
