Nirvana Unplugged.

[Trophy Husband]

I've just reminded myself of this epic performance whilst cleaning the kitchen and cooking breakfast. Utterly gifted musicians. Kurt Cobain? What a talent and gone too soon.

[Mothersruin]

Brilliant. Also remember the Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam superb unplugged sets.

Musicians.

[NBTBRV8]

Nirvana today still sounds so fresh, they haven't dated.

And the Alice in chains one.

Certainly for someone with rudimentary guitar skills, Kurt wrote some seminal tunes.

Kris and Dave, though, certainly glued the whole Nirvana thing together.

Still my favourite band of all time, and I think that In Utero is woefully underrated and forgotten about sometimes. Better than Nevermind for me.

Unplugged is absolutely stunning though. Kurt's voice during WDYSLN's final chorus gets me every single time.

Purely by coincidence, an AIC tune popped up on my "Recommended For You" list on YT earlier.

Nutshell

What a lovely chord progression (Cadd9 / Em7 / G / D)

Totally agree In Utero is superior to Nevermind.

Doesn’t happen ofte, but the remaster is better than the original IMO.


Not sure why Soundgarden never did MTV Unplugged...

I think the Alice in Chains one has to be one of the best unplugged (Along with Nirvana/Pearl Jam)

Sludge Factory unplugged, despite Layne struggling to get it right it ends up being one hell of a recovery.

I bet it was due to most acoustic guitars not being robust enough for Kim's altered tunings

IIRC, "My Wave" used (low to high) EEBBBB

Nirvana unplugged is certainly out there as one of the best, if not the best unplugged albums for sure. Placebo did a pretty good unplugged album if you like them.

The Placebo album is excellent. Cracking version of ‘Bosco’

The best live album in my opinion. His voice on some of the tracks is incredible. Just realised I own it on CD, vinyl and DVD. Might have to give it a blast tonight.

I have loved this album, but it has become tired. Perhaps Radio X is to blame.
