Love this! Would kill to see a lounge act unplugged in this style.

I saw them in Akron, Ohio on October 31, 1993. They literally played everything, except teen spirit. I can only guess Kurt had tired of the song by that point.

I wish you used live Cobain vocals, but you knocked this mix out of the park dude!

[Babyboyblues]

So pretty, the acoustic drums make the sense that they're Grohl at the studio. Maybe you should put the voice of Kurt in some live to make it 100% real. But great job man!

[kmstirpitz]

I wish this really happened to be honest. I'm a huge fan of all Nirvana catalogue but there's a reason why this song is super special.

It sounds exactly like how I imagined it would sound like! Great job 👏

Bro traveled back in time and changed up the setlist💀

[neilmusgrove]

Loved this! the thing about Nirvana is that if you listen past the volume, there was a lot of interesting music going on! Underrated in my view!

Oh, wow man! I’m not familiar with your channel so, it took me a minute to figure this out. I was thinking, “I don’t remember Nirvana playing this on the MTV Unplugged session.” Then, I started reading comments and discovered that this is an editing thing that you do. Interesting concept that had me biting, at first.

Cara, ficou muito bom! O MTV Unplugged Nirvana foi o primeiro CD que ganhei na minha vida no meu aniversário de 12 anos. Essa música poderia ter entrado no disco.

this is the thing with a lot of these acoustic or mtv unplugged versions with nirvana songs, they always use the studio versions of the vocals. the instrumentals are usually fine and accurate for the most part, but the vocals are very unrealistic. kurt, and really no artist for that matter, ever sound exactly how they do in the studio. i feel like if someone was able to get a good rip of a live vocal track of this song and make an acoustic instrumental, it’d sound not only really good, but be extremely accurate to how it’d actually sound if they did play this during their mtv unplugged set.
