Video: Nirvana’s 1994 MTV Unplugged Performance Remains One of the Most Haunting Concerts Ever Recorded

Recorded in an intimate acoustic setting in New York in 1994 and now available in a stunning 4K remaster, Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged performance stripped away the electric ferocity and left something rawer and more exposed, with Kurt Cobain delivering “About A Girl,” “Come As You Are,” and a hauntingly rendered cover of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” with a vulnerability that made the televised format feel like the most private room in the world, producing a session that has spent three decades being cited as one of the essential documents in rock history, and still earns that description every single time.
