MTV Unplugged In New York
Nirvana

First time I've listened front to back... what an emotional journey this album is. It offers the listener an introspective lens into Kurt's psyche, and is far and away the band's most intimate live performance. As another reviewer described it - with the 'death' of MTV coming not too long after this performance, and hindsight being what it is, this almost feels like a funeral procession for the network itself. There is a rawness to the sound as a whole that is, IMO, harder to find these days. Dave Grohl may be a cheating spouse, but he understood Nirvana's sound like no other - which is exemplified in his 'less is more' approach to the drumming in this performance. Also, his black turtleneck is legendary.
