Vinyl LP pressing of this live release from the Grunge heroes. Recorded in November 1993, less than six months before singer Kurt Cobain passed away, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged is a significant document that showcases a band at the peak of its powers. Unlike any other unplugged performance, this diverse album is not a simple stripped-down rendition of greatest hits or a cash-grab of nostalgic favorites. Instead, the live effort is one of the most emotionally raw spectacles ever released - an album so intensely stark and profoundly personal that it's impossible not to feel chills down the spine. The setlist is as surprising as the stylistic transformation. Apart from 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 haunting versions of David Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold the World' and the Vaselines' 'Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam'.
