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 it's 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'.
"Mtv Unplugged In New York" is a legendary live album by Nirvana, released in the LP format by David Geffen Company. Captured during an intimate performance for MTV's iconic "Unplugged" series in November 1993, this record stands as one of the most celebrated live albums in rock history. The setlist features stripped-down renditions of Nirvana classics like "Come As You Are," "About A Girl," and haunting covers such as David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World." This LP captures the raw emotion and vulnerability of Kurt Cobain?s vocals, offering fans a unique glimpse into the band?s artistry beyond their grunge roots. Nirvana, formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987, revolutionized alternative music with their breakthrough album "Nevermind" and hits like "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Their influence on modern rock remains unparalleled despite their brief career. The David Geffen Company has been instrumental in shaping popular music since its founding by industry legend David Geffen; it has supported groundbreaking artists across genres and is known for its commitment to artistic innovation.
