The Greatest unplugged show, the fact Kurt thought the audience didn’t like it says it all . They were completely blown away

[cgh]

Fun fact: The big dude w/ the sunglasses @ 1:14 is John Duncan who was a guitarist for the Scottish punk band The Exploited. Kurt was a huge fan & had hired him around 1992 to be Nirvana's guitar tech.

How bizzare is it the Kurt didnt think the show went down well and yet that gig is one of the greatest ever gigs in musical history!

[krisfrederick]

"I asked David Geffen to buy me Leadbelly's guitar personally for 500, 000 dollars, but he wouldn't do it." Well, Kurt yours from this show sold for 6 million. I think you outdid your favorite performer...

Lilies are the flowers of immortality. Which means Kurt will live on forever.

What bums me out is Nirvana was evolving here.He mixed this blues folk rock into their sound and was incredible.He wanted to do an acoustic album and man I wish we could've got one more record.

This is very cool coming from someone who actually watched the MTV performance live. And owned the Unplugged album ever since it's release.
I think part of the reason for the lack of applause was the fact that they played so many Sub Pop songs from other bands. I think that was totally unexpected by the spectators. And I think it threw them off a little bit. Having said that, it still doesn't detract from the fact that it really was an overall great performance. A nice mix of both Nirvana music and some of their favorite sub pop songs.

No one there probably didn't know how legandary this would become

[Simcitywok]

“Where did you sleep last night” is the greatest closing track

[jeremytheoneofdestiny]

6:31 I can hear every single word of that quote in Kurt's voice, 100% something he would say

[sianspherica]

So glad they had friends like Lee and Steve from Sonic Youth there. Also I love Pat's face when Kurt throws the smoke at him.

I would watch every second of uncut b reel from this performance. Best live taping of a concert in history, IMO

[juannicolasrodriguez]

I really miss this MTV, when actually was MusicTeleVision😢😢

[pamelalapier]

I miss Kurt so much. It was a brilliant show.

[nomadben]

[Headwyres]

Happy 30th Anniversary of this legendary show!

[marielleo]
