This cd is, hands down, amazing. You can't help but fall in love with the band all over again. I've been a HUGE fan since the Bleach album, and it was nice to hear them in a different tone and doing some amazing covers. Where Did You Sleep Last Night, The Man Who Sold The World, I mean the whole album is a "must listen".

A lot of people will go on and on about how Nirvana's Unplugged is so important because symbolically it was all about Kurt Cobain's upcoming suicide. I disagree. I think this recording is important because it shows Nirvana's versatility and range. Up until this point, no one but the hardcore fans knew Cobain could do anything but screech and scream and play great loud life changing songs. This album, though, shows that Nirvana was more than a grunge band, they were real innovators. Not only did Cobain play his own loud, punk songs in a new and more insightful way, but he managed to incorporate such different artists as David Bowie, Meat Puppets, and even an obscure (to most rock artists anyway) southern folk musician, Leadbelly. Not one Unplugged artist besides Kurt took such a leap, and it stands as one of the best Unplugged of all time. If you purchase this album, check out "Dumb" a subtle but remarkably different version of "Pennyroyal Tea", "Oh, Me" and the exceptional "All Apologies." The album closes with a gutwrenching rendition of "In the Pines" aka "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." You won't go wrong with this album, and once it's done playing, you'll feel like you've been on an taken on an emotional journey, one that you will want to take again and again.Read full review
I had owned this recording when I had a cassette player in my previous car. What a difference to listen to the CD in my current car! I love this concert and recommend it highly.

I can't rave enough about Nirvana's Unplugged in New York Album - in my opinion the finest Nirvana album assembled and one of the finest live shows ever recorded. Unplugged albums are, of course, acoustic (ie without the plugs) - and surprisingly it suits Nirvana's hard, alternative sound superbly. More importantly, Kurt Cobain is phenomenal and mellows out his voice just enough to make the Unplugged music sounds perfect. The crowd is into the performance and their energy is palpable. Get the Nirvana Unplugged CD asap - its outstanding and moves from one great track to the next. 5/5! 1. About A Girl 2. Come As You Are 3. Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam 4.

Really love this CD. I'm more of an Alice in Chains fan,but recently got into Nirvana through a Facebook friend. I really love Nirvanas covers of songs on this CD,especially Meat Puppets songs like Plateau, Oh,Me,and Lake of Fire. I highly recommend this CD for any grunge music lover.
