Cool live album. Nirvana is not necessarily my style, but good music. Cool to hear crowd banter. 5.6/10

I think this is way overrated. They're better with a wall of sound. Favorite song: all apologies.

Expected more songs I'd know about. Wasnt all that tbh

I mean, whatever, right? It's Nirvana, you like Nirvana, you'll like this. It's a live album, so you can't really judge it. Do you like the songs they performed? Yes? Boom, you like this.

I guess i can see the appeal if you like Nirvana and don't think Kurt Cobain is one of histories worst frontmen. Unfortunately, i don't and i do so this was mostly a bag of shit

Brate, rijetko iritantno prenemaganje tokom pjevanja

Favorite song: The Man Who Sold The World Least Favorite song: Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam

Man har redan hört det bra

jeg foretrækker albums, der ikke er live

Not great compared to their studio albums

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

I liked the bowie cover, "lake of fire", and "plateau". I listened to the studio version of "something in the water" and liked it way better than the live version. I want to listen to their studio albums.

ok, not as heavy as some parts of Nevermind which I liked, but in some parts also not as interesting. just not that into the grunginess of it all i suppose

I continue to not particularly enjoy live albums, which is a shame because I do enjoy some nirvana

Immerno de grösst Fan vo Nirvana und nonie Fan gsi vo Livealbe. Live debi zsi würdi sicher es 4i hinefüre spienzle aber so ganz uf de auditive Ebene muss sich de Kurt&son mit mim saftige aber faire zwei Pünktler begnüege

Boring

Fine, but no more than fine

I just can't stand unplugged in general.

Coming out and saying it.... I am not a big Nirvana fan! Nothing wrong with this I just am realizing it's not for me.

Far from their best

Nirvana was never nowhere close to as good as they got credit for. This album is no different. There are two great tracks on this album, but both Bowie and Lead Belly nailed them on the originals, so what's the point?

Nirvana blows

4 chords, 2 stars

De cara já digo que, embora seja considera por muitos obra-prima do Nirvana, não é o melhor disco para se apresentar alguém que nunca ouviu a banda antes. Das 14 músicas do repertório, 6 são covers/versões de outras canções. Das 8 restantes, apenas 3 eu já tinha escutado previamente. Hoje sabemos que foi uma escolha do Kurt em optar por músicas menos conhecidas do cancioneiro da banda. Também senti uma falta de peso/preenchimento na equalização (?) nas primeiras músicas, o que se arrumou ao decorrer do álbum. Sobre a execução, tenho a impressão de que o Kurt está sofrendo para cantar todas as músicas. A voz dele parece que não chega onde tem que chegar, mas ainda assim ele continua tentando entregar. Já na parte instrumental, achei tudo bem completo e redondo, apenas senti falta do peso do baixo em algumas músicas, principalmente nas primeiras. As músicas não me empolgaram, embora algumas tenham chamado atenção. - "Come As You Are" ficou um arranjo bem legal, embora tenha sentido falta do peso do baixo nela. - "The Man Who Sold the World" é decente, embora eu prefira muito mais o original de David Bowie. Parece que faltou preenchimento nela não só de equalização, mas principalmente de instrumentação. Tinha potencial. - "Something in the Way" tem um ar bem soturno e ficou bem fiel à versão original. Das originais do Nirvana foi a melhor execução instrumental e vocal. - "On Me" e "Lake of Fire", ambos cover do Meat Puppets, tem uma das progressões mais legais, mas é nítido um desânimo na voz do Kurt. - "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", que também é um cover, pra mim é o ápice do álbum e a melhor performance do Kurt em todo o disco. Pena que tenha sido apenas na última música. O disco tem uma proposta decente. Se a ordem das músicas fossem rearranjadas, alguns outros elementos musicais fossem incluídos, e o Kurt não parecesse tão sofrido ao cantar (ou até mesmo desanimado), pra mim o álbum poderia ser bem mais marcante. Acho que isso vale pra tudo o que já ouvi do Nirvana: a história e o marco que deixaram é mais legal do que a execução em si. Triste, porque o grunge é um período que gosto muito na música.

2 stars. Not a bad album, but it doesn't work for me. The three songs I enjoyed aren't enough to make me sit through all of it. Also the fact that Kurt keeps saying "I'm gonna butcher this song" is so fucking annoying. Like, brother, just play the damn song and let us decide (he butchered most of them). About a Girl: A song that works better when you're a teen with a guitar trying to bang that one chick that wears way too much mascara. Come As You Are: The opening riff for this one is the first thing I learned to play on Guitar to impress that one chick that wears way too much mascara. Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbean: I always skipped this one and now I remember why ♡ The Man Who Sold The World: Amazing Rendition of a Great Song. Wish Seu Jorge had recorded it for Life Aquatic sessions. Pennyroyal Tea: Not a big fan of the rendition, but a good song nonetheless Dumb: 🤷🏽 ♡ Polly: This song is so fucking good. His voice lends itself perfectly for the tone of the song. On a Plain: Every Nirvana song sounds like you're 12 and this is deep. "The finest day I've ever had is when I learned to smile on command" Bottom Text ♡ Something in the Way: Although I disagree with the morals of consuming sea creatures, I must admit this song is a banger. Plateau: Ranking high on "First songs I learned as a Teenager". His voice is not really suited for this song. Oh Me: Pretty forgettable track. Lake of Fire: Yee Haw. All Apologies: I really can't vibe with songs that are so "omg i'm not like the others". It's like they lack self awareness, idk. Not my thing Where Did You Sleep Last Night: Nirvana is just Falcão for people who know what depression is.

I know Nirvana is an important group in the history of music. However, I think I would have enjoyed this more if I liked Nirvana more. I know this person wasn't the original singer but I can't get past the vocals: very nasal, raspy, and flat. 2/5 I will not be back to listen.

I know this was a critically acclaimed event and got tons of coverage back in the day... but I just don't like live albums... nor Nirvana... That said, compared to the other live albums I've had to endure on this list (and Nirvana's In Utero), this is slightly more tolerable... so I'll be generous and give it a 2...

I don't really like Nirvana. Their sound is too abrasive for me personally, and Cobain's vocals are both ugly sounding and unintelligible, rendering the lyrics moot. Hearing Nirvana playing an acoustic(ish) set makes their instrumentation less abrasive, and I actually quite like how the guitars sound on this album. But Cobain's vocals are the greater problem here, and are as awful as they always have been. I think this album is as well regarded as it is mainly because of his death, which occurred not long after this was recorded. It's nothing special as a listening experience

Lyrics: 1/5 Music: 2/5 Production: 2/5 Cohesiveness: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 Stand out songs: The man who sold the world (but it is a cover) Sounds like your average high school band playing songs stood perfectly still on stage. It all just feels very high school band. Lyrics are very poor. Kurt’s voice does have the right level of raspiness to it in some songs which adds a good texture to the songs. The fact that this has such a high rating makes me feel like I’m missing something. But I don’t think I want to find whatever it is I’m missing. I’m happy not really enjoying this album

Нененене..

Overrated. 'Where did you sleep last night' was the best song for me. 2/5

Nirvana....

Ok. Nothing great

Surprisingly, I didn’t hate this as much as I usually hate Nirvana. Still not something I’d listen to by choice though.

I feel like I have heard all of these songs because of the other Nirvana albums in the list, so why do I need to hear the live versions too? 2/5

I don’t enjoy live albums very much, respect to the band but not my cup of tea.

Don't really like the unplugged format

Not here to listen live album, stuff to do🤓🏌️‍♂️🐴😍🐽💙🦘🖌️➰🎙️🇪🇷🇨🇾🔊🔊⏲️🕒🚍🛻⚛️🚧😷🛁💵😏⛴️♊

I remember seeing this on TV in 1994 and thinking it was great. 30 years later... It doesn't sound all that good.

Pleasantly depressing.

I know it's Nirvana...but it's a bit of a snooze fest...

I wish I could appreciate the cultural moment Nirvana created but I wasn’t there. Not my favorite

I do not own this album but I’ve heard it many times over. I was influenced greatly by the new grunge sounds of the early 90s. This album was a little shocking, due to the song choice and what their normal sound was. It preceded Kurt Cobian’s death by a short time. I’d rather remember Nirvana for the plugged in sound.

Every now and again one of these songs hits it out of the park but I'm kinda lukewarm on the project as a whole

Nirvana is best when plugged in

Something about Cobains voice really grates on this album

Nope. Gave it a chance but just don't get them, don't get grunge, and would frankly rather pull a Cobain than listen to that again.

Influential, important, historic. I still don't like Nirvana at all and I find Cobain's voice annoying. Borderline 1 or 2 stars for me.

The Lead Belly and Bowie covers are excellent, but there’s nothing in the other songs vocally or musically that is terribly interesting or impressively-performed. I understand why it’s been so reveled, given that it came out after Kurt’s death, but I don’t think it’s deserving of the hype and critical claim.

I didn't actually get all that far through this album so sorry if my opinions are wildly off for the second half of the album but the first couple of songs all sounded exactly the same and made me wish I was listening to a better nirvana song

Nú móðga ég einhver. Þetta er svo arfaslakt. Upptakan léleg, enginn virðist vera í góðu formi. Týpískt fyrir genre-ið "tónleikaplötur sem heppnast ekki vel", sem ca 95% tónleikaplatna falla undir skv. mér.

What trash is this? Ughh!!

OK, I guess

I've not really been a great fan of Nirvana, maybe cynically, I think they can ascribe much of their fame and subsequent record sales on the untimely death of Kurt. This album breaks no new ground, is replete with cover versions and imo only made it to the top 1000 because it was the first to be relesed after the above mentioned unfortunate event.

Warning: hot take ahead! This kind of punk rock does not translate well to acoustic. The heavy distorted guitars tie together Kurt's raspy, strained vocals and give the music the energy it needs. I think completely restructured their instrumentation of the songs, maybe adding some more piano or strings or something, it would have worked for me. It's like they're trying to highlight Kurt's vocals over any instrument. His vocals are definitely not the highlight of Nirvana's music. Eerything just sounds sad and very slow. It literally sounds like a mediocre band that you might hear playing in the corner of a dive bar. Kurt was somehow able to develop an aura of illustrious musical genius after his death. IMO, if he didn't kill himself, his fame would have faded over the years and he wouldn't be more famous than 3 Doors Down or something. It also helps that he's hunky.

Angsty, as expected from Nirvana, but lyrics are intelligible. Limited guitar chords or melody. A bit musically monotonous, but lyrically more interesting, something that is hard to appreciate on Nevermind.

I fail to see the point of live albums

Langweilig und Cobain singt ziemlich falsch

Lead singers voice was too whiny for my liking.

When I was younger I recall how much Nirvana was liked. I feel like I missed the boat. But, then I hear this album and it still doesn't do much for me. It's still good, just not really my vibe

...if Kurt had stuck around, and dumped Courtney, would we have noticed?...... just askin.....

I think Kurt Cobain is wildly overrated as a guitar player, singer and a songwriter.

ehhhhh surprisingly not my style of rock

Kind of just fine. Not bad to listen to, but nothing crazy. Not much I would listen to again

Meh…

I tried, I really did. It was so sad watching someone who killed himself. But grunge is just not my cup of tea.

If became famous for this depressing garbage I'd have killed myself too.

You wanna know a thought I’ve never had? “Hey, I really wanna listen to an acoustic Nirvana album.”

Mostly a bunch of songs I don't know and don't care about.

i just really have never liked nirvana… will i get crucified for that take ?

A good live album but not one I would place high in my top 1000 albums. Best song - Plateau

Urg. I'm so tired of this album, the song choices are interesting and the execution is fine but I don't get how it is seminal in any way

Not my cup of Pennywhistle. They do have some good songs on this album but they are covers

I’m giving it two stars because the band sounded like themselves at least while playing live. That said, I’ve never understood the popularity of this whining and navel gazing. These songs are neither fun nor well written, and certainly not well performed in my opinion.

I’ll preface with I’m not much of a fan of Nirvana. I find most of the time the unplugged guitar tone just didn’t sound very good. Maybe I don’t like unplugged concerts or their tone just wasn’t what I was looking for. I don’t like Cobain’s vocals that much, he also mumbles a good bit which I find frustrating at times. The writing often feels simple to me, simple chords with nothing too special structure-wise as far as I can tell or feel. It didn’t have a great start. The first song sounds like a grungy early Beatles song. There were a couple songs I enjoyed throughout the middle, with catchy guitar hooks of decent melodies. The banter between tracks was funny, especially Cobain’s “shut up”. I think Nirvana just really isn’t for me and this album couldn’t convince me otherwise.

Pretty good album. I remember when this came out pennyroyal tea is one of my favorite songs.

Acoustic grunge. Not really my thing. 2/5

Inte min grej precis, men Lake of fire är bra

Recorded just months before Kurt Cobain's tragic death, this stripped-down and acoustic performance captures the band in a moment of intimacy and introspection. The album features a mix of Nirvana's biggest hits and lesser-known tracks, all reimagined in a more intimate and acoustic setting. From the rendition of "Something in the Way" to the haunting "Pennyroyal Tea" and the heartbreaking "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," each track on this album is delivered with emotion but feels more watered down compared to the actual album versions. MTV Unplugged in New York is where Nirvana transition from their signature grunge sound to a more stripped-down acoustic sound. The arrangements are simple and whilst it’s allowing the raw emotion of the lyrics to shine through, it leads to a lot of the performances to fall slightly flat. Saying that this album is not without some highlights, with the most unforgettable moment being Cobain's cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World." The song's melancholy lyrics and Cobain's haunting vocals give the track an added layer of poignancy, especially in light of Cobain's tragic death just a few months later. MTV Unplugged in New York is an album that showcases Nirvana at their most vulnerable and introspective. However the tuned down renditions leads to a lot of tracks losing their identity.

Meh. Mainly because it's live

Sorry, just not a Nirvana fan. Don't like his voice. Some good songs though.

Did not appreciate the raw vocals very much.

I very rarely care for live albums with audience interactions and this was not one of the few where I would. And I can't help but think that the reviews of this are more of a wishes for Nirvana to actually produce a studio album with this semi acoustic sound and the nostalgia for it. Combining with the fact that the covers, especially the Bowie one, were the best songs, I just can't hold this to the same standard as "regular" albums on this list.

Was not a fan before, and still wasn’t a fan after, guessing I will never be. 😂

Meh. Grunge schmunge

Best not listen to when already depressed. Although a good album, Nirvana and MTV were unhappy with the performance.

Usually love Unplugged for what it is, but I dunno what it was about this one that didn't excite me. I know Nirvana is a "thing" but Kurt's vocals sounded a little put-on and less genuine. Everything else was pretty average.

ok i like nirvana but this was just awful. at many songs his voice became completely unbearable and it just sounded so terrible. the songs just do not sound good this version. of course i was familiar with many songs by they sounded so different in a bad way

Prefer this to their studio / ‘plugged’ recordings. Nice version of Man Who. But find the angst of their own songs a bit hard to listen to. I guess you had to be there but they don’t really speak to me. Also not a fan of Cobain’s voice.

Sì, ho capito, insistete con sti nirvana, non fanno cagare, ma dì che mi piacciono è impegnativa.

Equally enjoying as enjoyable. Kurt literally murders some songs with his nasally grunge whine. The conversation to acoustic takes out the fun and excitement of what make nirvana great. That said some nice turns great Bowie cover and sounded genuinely distressed in where did sleep last night. Overall bit of a miss for a great band.

I get it Nirvana deeply impacted rock music and briefly lead the horde of flannel and boot wearing, distortion/overdrive guitar playing grunge bands. This sparsely produced live acoustic album sought to be an astounding awakening for the "I'm 14 and this is deep" audience by dialing down the heavy noise and highlighting Kurt Cobain's lyrical/melodic/vocal intimacy. Of course, it's deeply impacting, but this format always came across as a gimmicky shill. The genius of Nirvana is finding that intimacy as sweaty flannel boot guys are stage diving onto your face.

Not as I imagined.

i dislike acoustic guitars

Yllättävän relaa (ja melankolista) Nirvanaa

Didn't realize I was gettin' depressed today!

Did not enjoy especially since it was the live version..

Too many covers, Cobain sings live (not good), so I would say it's bullshit (2*) despite that I like Nevermind very much.

Why so many live albums? Why would I want the acoustic version of their songs? I do not think it improved the songs. I don't hate this album, but I don't need to listen to this version of the songs again.

Ok for background music, quite middle of the road and a lot of the songs sound the same

Not a massive Nirvana fan but appreciate the music and what they did for the industry. Enjoyed listening to this, I knew more songs than I thought I would, found a couple I think I’d add to playlists going forward.

All apologies to my ears

i might never become as cool as i wanted to be

Was ok

Did not like this. Kurt is very mumbly, which may be endearing to some but not to me and the acoustic set losses some of the edge I normally associate with Nirvana

Solo me gustan algunas canciones. Esta muy bien, pero creo que un poco sobrevalorado

Niravana? more like Nirver mind amirite.

Not big on Nirvana tbh but it's okay. The Man Who Sold The World is a cool cover and i don't mind a few of the songs.

Some cool covers on here but I get why people hate Kurt Cobain's voice after listening to unedited versions of his song.

i didn't get anything out of this :/

1.5/5 no me suelen gustar los unplugged

kinda just sucks.

Did not like it

While I appreciate this performance , and I’ve said this in previous reviews, I do not think live albums should be on this list.

yeah... I don't think Nirvana is for me. I like some of the instrumentals but I don't really like Kurt's voice and a lot of the songs are too stripped down for me. Ultimately pretty bored by this one.

i hated it

no I'm not doing this, fuck you

Yeah, I was in middle school too, like any one else. But with 20 years to reflect I can confidently say this album sucks shit. The whole reason I listened to Nirvana was for the hard rock noise that would soon become the staple of classic rock stations. Not for folky cover songs.

not my style

no me gusta nirvana mil disculpas

Unplugged more like un good. I’ve never really gotten into nirvana or grunge in general and this live set with all the energizing electric sounds removed certainly didn’t change my mind. Plateau here is genuinely one of the worst vocal performances I’ve heard.

Garbage worst band in the HISTORY Of EVER. Thanks for the 1st one. Next better be better...smh

What a load of absolute keach! Just proves how untalented they were.

You've been wasting so much time on trash, and not enough time showing albums I actually listen to. I've been playing the albums I actually want to hear, instead of what ever crap you throw at the wall. SMH

Hot take: this wouldn't have been as popular if Kurt hadn't died a couple of months after this aired. This isn't even the best MTV Unplugged album, "nevermind" that it's not even the best Nirvana album. 1/5 Pearl Jam unplugged should have made the list instead.

整体感觉很经典。但不是非常吸引我,也许在90年代算牛逼。主唱似乎某些地方在扯嗓子

Oh so whiney. Nirvana are not my cup of tea.

Livealbum

Oh god please not the 2 worst things imaginable: Live and Unplugged. Urgh The man who sold the World is always great though.

Fucking agonizing

don't @ me bro

Couldn't listen to, it was so whiney. I've never liked grunge.

Utter nonsense and absolute garbage. Cobain is so overrated

Genuinely one of the most overrated live albums of all time

Never cared for them.

This demonstrates what I already suspected - that under all the noise and oversaturated amps Nirvana is just an amateur band. It sounds like a wedding band but the lead singer was too drunk to sing so the guitarist is filling in for him (even though he's also drunk).

Not for me.

very overrated band and album

I don't understand the concept of live albums, and I despise this band. I'd give it a 0 if I could.

The most overrated band of all time doing unplugged versions of their sloppy covers and original noises. How we got Dave Grohl from this wreckage is a miracle no historian has been able to explain. It was nice of Pat Smear to show up to this and help out with a tuned guitar, because Kurt wasn't going to do that. And that guy simply cannot sing. He'd be cut off and kicked out of a townie bar's karaoke night where they put up with the burned out town bicycle who thinks her cigarette coated vocal chords sound like Janis Joplin. Simply awful, and this nonsense where we have to pretend Nirvana is something to be reverent toward is absolute trash. F-

Blech.

Teško da postoji bend koji mi izaziva veću nervozu od Nirvane, iz dna duše ih ne mogu čuti. Možda se Radiohead približava toj razini hejta, ali oni mi barem nisu iskakali iz paštete cijeli život. Po meni je Nirvana jako overrated i nikad nisam (!) razumjela ljude koji ih aktivno slušaju. Probala sam slušati nakon dugo godina otklanjanja sama sebe iz svake situacije gdje sam ih prisiljena slušati, ali jednostavno ne mogu. Jbg, znala sam da će biti tu i da će doći taj trenutak. A sad si idem pustiti nešto za oporavak od ovog. 1/5, 1/10

not much of a fan its meh alright i guess

I can't stand Nirvana. This album does nothing to change that. Kurt's guitar is out of tune. Somebody's guitar gets run through overdrive, completely defying the spirit of "unplugged." I'm sure it was all about "they can't tell us what to do!" which completely missed the point of the unplugged exercise, which is to set up a limitation that requires creativity to get around. The best song on here is the Bowie cover, and even that is hard to listen to because of the vocals. 1 star.

Livealbum

Boring

Nirvana…. The band that started the grunge rock band movement. Music is ok. A little to weird,and hard for me.

Yawn. I'd put this on if I was having trouble falling asleep.

Legendärer Grunge... 1S

It’s possible I’m broken. After all this was my generation and I’m supposed to love this band. Just like I’m supposed to love Van Halen. Simply can not stand either one though.

Boring. 1

Overrated.

Grunge is just not my thing... And I know it's Unplugged, but unplugged can be fun and exiting... This was just plain boring... 1/5

Live album = 1 star, sorry Diogo...

Nirvana is definitely not my vibe

Nirvana is overrated and I don't like acoustics songs or live versions. studio version is at least better for every song, but this didn't work for me. guitarist is great at least

I thought MAYBE live acoustic Nirvana might be better- NOPE. First off it’s not really unplugged, just mostly unplugged, which makes sense because you’ve gotta have real chips to play without amplification. Secondly, unplugged or not it doesn’t really matter since Nirvana songs all sound like a whiney soy boy trying to pass a watermelon.

Was macht dieses Album so besonders? ...

Sorry Nirvana, but I think you need the grungy electric sound back to hide poor playing and off-tune signing. Giving "being held hostage by a white guy with a guitar at a party" vibes. Couldn't get through the album.

Having never been much of a Nirvana listener or even admirer, this was a tougher sell still. I should not have come into the album expecting to unravel some softer, more intimate side of this much revered band. This is certainly highly rated, provided you already like these songs and Kurt Cobain's atrocious vocals that to a disinterested consumer sound close to that Puddle of Mudd cover of Nirvana. Dumb hot take, but that is how I feel.

interesting to listen to unplugged. can hear the lyrics and some personality of the band members between sets. personally wouldn't listen a second time though

The musical artists I listen to I want to be truly artists…not “artists”. Nothing artistic going on here. Bad sounding guitars poorly played, melody apparently optional, words that are not deep but seemingly the stupid hallucinated rantings of a drug addled brain. One of the best live albums of all time? C’mon!!

Never been a fan of the grunge rock genre.

Sorry Zach

This is not an album that I like. Very amateurish compositions and performance. I didn’t like it then and I still don’t like it. Grade: 1/5

2 good songs I could listen to in regular rotation, but only this acoustic version. The balance of the album is dark and morose and very much not my taste.

An album that defines the phrase, "The Emperor has no clothes".

not a fan. introduced to a bowie tune.

I gave it as open minded a listen as possible, but I’m sorry: it was dull then, and it’s still dull now. The best facet of the band from an instrumental perspective is Grohl’s drumming, which isn’t a factor here. The best riffs belong to the Meat Puppets (credited) and Killing Joke (famously not credited). And the best music in general is made by those less interested in becoming a cadaver.

Do not like Nirvana. Dumb was okay

I love this album. But, as I've been clear and consistent about it before, live albums are essentially a collection of other songs from other albums, in which case, "The Best of ..." deserves consideration for this list of albums. The rating is not a reflection of the quality of artists or the music.

Nirvana is a band that doesn't even deserve to have one album on this list, let alone three. And one of them is this, a live album (because two whole studio albums weren't enough, apparently) that sounds even more boring and lethargic than the studio versions. Some of the covers were okay, but those were written by other people, so I can't give Nirvana credit for them.

Makes me forget where I am. 😴 Kinda bad

hm a live album. I'm sure their acoustics are fine, but I'll pass on this.

I'm sure I will never get the appeal of this band. Really of Kurt Cobain. I never have come close to connecting with the jarring amelodic chord changes, the not-interesting and bad/sloppy guitar playing, and... the distractingly awful vocals. And that was for the studio-produced albums where you can polish up a turd so to speak, so having put it in an acoustic format.... ugh. The first few songs are fine in a "ehh..." kind of way then when Kurt Cobain starts wailing...I cannot. His voice makes me want to hurt myself. I remember watching this on MTV when it was first televised, trying even then to tap into something. In the "competition" during the birth of grunge (admittedly silly, all that) gimme Pearl Jam every damn time. I do not like. 2/10 1 star.

not only was this a live album 🤢 but it was a bad one too. his voice was just irritable and painful to listen to. overall pretty disappointing. I really like the last track though, all the other songs lacked that passion and interest. boo

👍🏻
