Album Notes

Additional personnel: Cris Kirkwood (acoustic guitar, bass); Pat Smear, Curt Kirkwood (acoustic guitar); Lori Goldston (cello).
Recorded live at Sony Music Studios, New York, New York on November 18, 1993.
UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK is part of MTV's "Unplugged" series.
UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance.
What is ultimately so sad about Kurt Cobain taking his own life is that he was so giving to others, constantly campaigning for the artists who influenced him. Cobain breathed new life into the Raincoats' career (who thanked him on their latest EP), brought a wider audience to Eugenius' pop genius, and proved there was grunge in Seattle before the '90s by covering a Wipers song on INCESTICIDE.
The same reverential awe seeps through every minute of the UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK performance, released nearly a year after its recording in November 1993. Cobain's originals, from the wrenching "All Apologies" to the numbing "Dumb," exempify his rare gift of saying so much with deceptively simple chords and melodies. His choice of covers displays influences as diverse as David Bowie and the Meat Puppets, and possibly most surprising, Leadbelly--included is a ferocious version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"

    I can't rave enough about Nirvana's Unplugged in New York Album - in my opinion the finest Nirvana album assembled and one of the finest live shows ever recorded. Unplugged albums are, of course, acoustic (ie without the plugs) - and surprisingly it suits Nirvana's hard, alternative sound superbly. More importantly, Kurt Cobain is phenomenal and mellows out his voice just enough to make the Unplugged music sounds perfect. The crowd is into the performance and their energy is palpable. Get the Nirvana Unplugged CD asap - its outstanding and moves from one great track to the next. 5/5!
