Nirvana - MTV Unplugged In New York [CD]

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged In New York captures the band’s legendary acoustic performance, recorded at Sony Music Studios on November 18, 1993, for the MTV Unplugged television series. Directed by Beth McCarthy and first broadcast on December 16, 1993, the set broke from tradition by focusing on deep cuts and covers, including songs by The Vaselines, David Bowie, Lead Belly, and Meat Puppets—who joined Nirvana onstage for a haunting collaboration.

Released in 1994, just months after Kurt Cobain’s passing, this became the band’s first posthumous release and a definitive moment in rock history. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, it went on to achieve 5x platinum certification in the U.S. and earned the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1996. This CD edition delivers the complete, iconic performance in pristine audio quality, offering an intimate glimpse of Nirvana at their most vulnerable and powerful—a must-have for grunge fans and collectors alike.
