One of the best MTV Unpluggeds ever. Nice memories from back in the day. Plus, for some reason 1001 Albums Generator threw me two Nirvana albums in a row, which is never a bad thing.
Classic.
One of the few live albums I like. Cobain at his best. 8/10 1. About a Girl 2. Where Did You Sleep Last Night 3. All Apologies
5/5 ALWAYS
I hate Nirvana. I will not listen to this album. Fuck Kurt Cobain.
amazing
Final song was good, nice raspy voice. Fun energy.
Where did you sleep last night completely blew me away. A truly powerful performance
Great set from them. Gave some of the songs even more feeling
Man, nostalgia for this one. High school all over
great album
No thank you
Sad and happy and sad and magical. It is so casual yet so well produced.
Guitars... emotion
Best Nirvana album, IMHO... such great renditions of classic songs, and love hearing them this way. Highlights: -Come as You Are -The Man Who Sold The World -All Apologies -Where Did You Sleep Last Night
classic - duh
I really like this album
Melhor performance ao vivo do Nirvana. (Não era muito difícil pra eles ter uma performance ao vivo, considerando que a maioria das performances dele ao vivo era uma bosta)
Nirvana is always gonna be top for Me. Interesting takes on the unplugged version of songs
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
Aw kurt you're so cute
One of the best live, acoustic albums of all time.
Oh Kurt. Reminds me of listening to this a lot as a teenager. Some of the songs are not as enjoyable in this setting, but there are some moments of brilliance.
Familiarity: 1/10 Notes: Although I've never personally endeavored to listen to a Nirvana Album, or maybe even a Nirvana song, yet I found myself humming and recognizing around half of the tracklist including covers. A rock classic, this band will always find a way to live on. Real Rating: 7/10
Is this the best acoustic set ever played?
Excellent album. Great to hear a different side of the band and a very upfront and real portrayal of unique covers.
I watched this to get the full experience and it was perfect
At the top of their game
good bowie cover impossible to separate from teenage associations
These stripped down, acoustic versions of their songs really shows off how fundamentally good a vocalist and songwriter Kurt was. I find it amusing that this is "unplugged" but he still sometimes plays with distortion with his acoustic amp. This Aussie gives it 4 jars of vegemite out of 5.
i'm realizing i like nirvana covers more than nirvana unfortunately...
One of the best live albums. Really shows the versatility of the band
Yes.
Awesome live performance.

You know what, I thought this would be good, but it was better.
NORVANA
Some cool covers on here but I get why people hate Kurt Cobain's voice after listening to unedited versions of his song.
It's strange but I think my favorite songs on this album were the covers of other songs. Really fun album!
One of my favorite all-time albums. LOVE the Bowie cover and the Meat Puppets inclusion. Gold standard acoustic transformation
Amazing album, lots of great covers. Originals are spot on. Kurt messes up a few times but the band is pretty spot on. Something magical about this performance maybe it's nostalgia.

Awesome!
One of their best performances; the last track is haunting.
Just a perfect listening experience.
I like this album. The live aspect wasn't too intrusive. Contained some of Nirvanas best hits.
Surprisingly good sound quality for a live album. Reading up on Cobain's death makes this album significantly sadder. 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night', 'Come As You Are' are bangers.
Pretty good! Unsurprisingly
Kurt legend
Just a classic. Interesting this threw up one I've played a thousand times for my first one, but glad it did! Graham
Lovely - good songs, good covers, great sound.
Jesus don’t want me for a sunbeam
Looking forward to hearing Nevermind again.
The unplugged version of Come As You Are is... lowkey better than the original. Bass is very present and I enjoy that. I really think Kurt Cobain just kind of sounds constipated when he sings and it's not for me. Buuuut I think Nirvana is objectively good so I'm gonna give this one a fat three stars.
Good album. I've just never been the biggest Nirvana fan.
Finally, something worth listening to. Brings a layer of maturity to their songs, and some expertly chosen covers - this might ultimately be what they become best remembered for.
1-1-21 I would have liked to hear more of their actual hits being played acoustically rather than so many cover songs.
Live-optræden, autentisk, stille rock, covers, akustisk, nærværende
I'm trying to get over my annoyance that this wasn't, in fact, an unplugged performance, and look at the music objectively, but it's hard. At the end of the day, they're still mumbly Nirvana songs, or covers done in the mumbly Nirvana way. This album was treated with kid gloves when it came out because Kurt Cobain had just died, and I don't understand why people still think it's great now. Best track: Dumb
*MTV Unplugged* was OK, and I recognised a lot of songs from in music shops and stuff. I'm not a huge fan of live albums in general though, excluding a few exceptional artists, and the songs didn't really feel that they "added" anything to the studio versions, except getting to hear the covers
Sounds great stripped down and the covers are dope
Pretty Frickin great. I like the little Meatpuppets suite at the end. This album really demonstrates the strength of Kurt Cobain's songwriting I think.
There are a few of the Unplugged series that will go down in music history. This is one of them. Who would have guessed that these Nirvana songs and covers would translate so well into acoustic gems to make an amazing album. Performances are top-notch and memorable, and you only want to revisit this concert again and again.
i didn't get anything out of this :/
12/11 Smooth, less aggressive versions of a lot of their records and renditions of other's as well. Like the crowd reactions and band comments, adds to the vibes. Standout Tracks: About A Girl, The Man Who Sold The World, Dumb, Polly
An excellent summation of the band, their catalog, and sound while still excelling in a different package.
Heard it a million times and it's pretty good... but I gotta say AIC and PJ did the unplugged albums better. 10 points to Cobain for making the setlist mostly deep cuts though. and the bowie cover is really goodl. 4/5.
Plateau is weird.
