Unplugged In New York (CD 1994)

One of the best live music.If you like Nirvana you love this CD.This is 14 songs performed for MTV`s Unplugged.Very good climat and feeling.Strong recommendation!

This is probably the best live recording ever made. Each member of Nirvana is on top form, while Kurt takes you to another level with his mesmerising voice, filled with more emotion than some small towns!
Each track fits perfectly, the hairs on your neck will stand to attention, as if you were there yourself.
If there can be any criticism about this recording, it lies at the door of one bloke in the small crowd, who tries to interact with Kurt in between songs. After track four, MTV staff should have had him chucked out!

I bought it because I heard it playing in a store and really liked the sound. Most of the tracks I'm familiar with but there are a few that I'd not heard before so that was a bonus. My children think I'm pretty cool to get it, but I think good music has no age limit.

So simple, one of the best live performances ever, by one of the best groups ever...Nirvana!!!!! this is a must for every music-fan!!

What can i say about this album? A true, genuine CLASSIC album, Brilliant cover songs from diverse artists! Even if you dont like Nirvana, you HAVE to listen to this cd!!!

A CD I have been looking for for a long time. A unique piece of work by a very talented man - well pleased with my find on E-Bay.

Big fan of unplugged music.
When all the noise and production are stripped away then you hear their real talent and this is one of the best examples of what I mean.

If In Utero is a suicide note, MTV Unplugged in New York is a message from beyond the grave, a summation of Kurt Cobain's talents and pain so fascinating, it's hard to listen to repeatedly. Is it the choice of material or the spare surroundings that make it so effective? Well, it's certainly a combination of both, how the version of the Vaselines' "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" or the three covers of Meat Puppets II songs mean as much as "All Apologies" or "Something in the Way." This, in many senses, isn't just an abnormal Nirvana record, capturing them in their sincerest desire to be R.E.M. circa Automatic for the People, it's the Nirvana record that nobody, especially Kurt, wanted revealed. It's a nakedly emotional record, unintentionally so, as the subtext means more than the main themes of how Nirvana wanted to prove its worth and diversity, showcasing the depth of their songwriting. As it turns out, it accomplishes its goals rather too well; this is a band, and songwriter, on the verge of discovering a new sound and style. Then, there's the subtexts, as Kurt's hurt and suicidal impulses bubble to the surface even as he's trying to suppress them. Few records are as unblinkingly bare and naked as this, especially albums recorded by their peers. No other band could have offered covers of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" and the folk standard "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" on the same record, turning in chilling performances of both -- performances that reveal as much as their original songs.

The cd was a great price and I had been looking around for it for a while. It is one of the Nirvana Live albums and has many great tracks which sound gret live on this cd. The cd includes 14 songs including a cover of David Bowie's 'The man who sold the world' and others including Pennyroyal tea and Dumb a small booklet featuring photographs of their performance. The cd has featured near the top of a number of 100 greatest live album lists and is a must for anyone who loves Nirvana.

This has to be the alltime best Nirvana album, anyone who does not yet own a copy really should get one!!!
