MTV Unplugged in New York

For my money, the best live record of the 90s, period. The Nirvana songs are broken down and reconstructed in a way that sounds fresh. The covers are interpreted in a way that no one has ever heard those songs like that before and Nirvana's versions forever change the way those songs are remembered. As the reviewer Erleweine noted, Kurt's on the brink of fashioning a new sound. But what I think is so amazing about the record is that sound is so timeless -- drop this record in the market 40 years ago or 40 years from now and it's as relevant and vibrant as it still remains today.

UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK is probably Nirvana's best album, easily surpassing the commercial hit, NEVERMIND(which is one of the greatest albums ever!). It deals with more a melodic and composition rather than the screaming pounding guitars on every other album. Kurt really goes for the gold on this disc, singing like he had never done before. It is a shame to think that he died becuase when you listen to anything that he has done he just sits in your head singing. Every song on this album in superb, beyond anything that the band has ever done. With three songs from NEVERMIND, one from BLEACH, three from IN UTERO, and seven cover songs from Dave Bowie, the Vaselines, and the Meat Puppets. An excellant album and you should buy it right now before you go out and get IN UTERO, FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF WISHKAH, INCESTICIDE, or BLEACH. Maybe even NEVERMIND! But who cares when you get this album, just get it!

That song alone is worth buying this CD.

If you want to hear a masterpiece, buy this album. The greatest album ever made and you can own it, all you have to do is shell out the bucks. Nirvana has been, is, and will be the best there is and the best there ever was. Thank You. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain

this cd is the best. its pure nirvana. nivana is to our generation what the beatles are to our parents

Simply, uh, awesome. You know. It always is. Why does everyone remember "Lake Of Fire" as Nirvana's? I was so convinced. (Weeping). Anyway, that aside...I still haven't heard "Where did you sleep last night." I still have work to do, I guess. I can't make a decent review now, can I?

Once you put this cd in, you listen to it over and over again. you understand the true greatness in this cd. BUY IT!

how could you possibly not like a CD put out by the most amazing band to ever exist????

Nirvana was great and May Kurt continue to Rest in Peace. This shows us restrained hatred, and it is a break from Smells like Teen Spirit, a song that is great, but overshadows their other great songs.

this cd is the best, it truly reflects the legacy that is NIRVANA and it shows how much Kurt was dedicated to his music.

I LOVE NIRVANA, AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE NIRVANA ALBUM...THERE IS ALOT OF EMOTION AND FEELING TO IT.

Almost everyone who’s into rock knows of NIRVANA’s album Nevermind, but what about MTV Unplugged in New York? The album was released on 11/1/1994 by GEFFEN RECORD. It is a recording of their live show “MTV Unplugged in New York”, and contains some covers such as “Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam” (originally by the Vaselines), “The Man Who Sold The World” (originally by David Bowie), “Plateau” (originally by the Meat Puppets) , “Oh, Me” (originally by the Meat Puppets), “Lake Of Fire” (originally by the Meat Puppets), and “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” (originally by David Bowie). I’d give this CD five stars. If you like NIRVANA then you should definitely buy this CD.

I love Nirvana and all, but this CD is SO good! I also have their other CDs and I think that this is one of their best. Kurt Cobain is awesome.

I watched Kurt Cobain and Nirvana's Unplugged performance more than ten years ago before he died (doesn't seem that long ago), and I saw a group on the cusps of being on par with the Beatles. But we know now that wasn't meant to be. The songs here are more vivid and tortured from a true artist's voice than in any other Nirvana record. Nothing in modern times can compare with that CD in my mind, not even close. It's so beautiful and poignant to be haunting. Too bad, Kurt, you chose the wrong path.

I don't have this album, but I recently bought the video Cassette of there unplugged performance, and it is the best concert i've ever seen. Nirvana is without a doubt the best musical group in history.

Nirvana is one the best bands that there.. will ever be... this is also one of their best cds ever made..

This is the heart and soul of nirvana with out a doubt one of the best albums ever

Nirvana's the best ever....they were and still are mi fav.band

And this CD proves that. The emotion in his voice has driven me to tears on many occasions. Kurt was a real talent. It's a damn shame he went so soon. The song "Oh Me" always gets to me, and "All Apologies" became a song that really embodied the remembrance of a friend (who was actually buried with a copy of this CD).

This album is one of Nirvana's best! The Unplugged performance was absolutely beautiful and so is this cd. Great choice.

For anyone who is a fan and doesn't own this buy it now!!! For someone who wants to hear ''the voice of a geration'' buy this! You will not disapointed. This cd put shivers down my back on the song ''Were did you sleep last night?!!'' (you will hear why)

nirvana was and still is the best band of all time their music was way before their time

Very emotional.... This album gives me chills every time I hear it.
