MTV Unplugged In New York
Nirvana

It's been a while since we had a live album so I'm looking forward to this. Nirvana is not something I like to hear at just any moment, they are very location and mood specific for me. I am not entering this listen in the right place or mood, so that may affect my reviews. The first song I'm really liking is "The Man Who Sold The World". Kurt's vocals on it are nice. I learned at the end it's a Bowie song, so maybe I still don't really like Nirvana. I'm enjoying "On A Plain". This album lacks the awesome crowd connection and engagement that I've heard from other live albums on this list. They aren't really bringing a lot of energy to the performance? The sound quality is great, but there's not much to this album's live performance other than that an audience claps at the end of songs. I don't really love Nirvana, and I was expecting this to be a super hardcore live album which brought energy I couldn't appreciate from my office chair. Instead it was a quiet and slow performance which was appropriate for my office chair, but boring. I guess that's the point of an unplugged album, but without the intensity they bring to their recorded electrical stuff, they don't have much left to offer me. 5/10
