Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Unplugged was the last collection recorded by Nirvana before the untimely death of Kurt Cobain and it caught many by surprise. As a testament to the group's live dynamic in a acoustic setting, it's a fantastic document that emphasises the nuances of one of the greatest bands of recent times. Cobain singing 'I swear I don't have a gun, I don't have a gun' with clenched teeth instead of a loud howl is a revelation as is the subtle guitar playing on the haunting 'About a Girl', from their earliest LP. Highlights include covers of three Meat Puppets tracks (featuring special guests Curt and Kris Kirkwood of that influential 'college rock' band), the weepy cello on the Vaselines' 'Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam' and their cover of David Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold the World'. --Lorry Fleming

- Up There With Greatest Live Album EverThis album was a revelation when I first heard it a couple of years after Cobain's death. For the most part I hadn't connected with Nirvana's grungier sound. The Unplugged format provides a sparse and paired back sound, releasing the raw power and passion of Cobain's voice. Favorite's are Something In the Way, Dumb, On a Plain and most especially the cover of the Meat Puppets Plateau. As others have mentioned the closing cover of Leadbelly's Where Did You Sleep Last Night is remarkable in its intensity. ... Read More

- ElegiacLike albums such as the Manic Street Preacher's "The Holy Bible" and Joy Division's "Closer", this album is impossible to hear without the ghost of a creator looming large - unlike albums by The Doors or Jimi Hendrix, which lack the seeming suicide-note nature of those works. "Unplugged" more than any other album I know has an elegiac, funeral atmosphere, one heightened by the inclusion of lilies and candles in the small stage and the nervousness of band and audience, as though aware that what they were ...

- OutstandingI was a fan of Nirvana before I heard 'Unplugged' but this album just proved to me how great a band they were. Stripped of the feedback and the frenetic punk energy the songs still stand up as classics.
'About a Girl' is total post-punk Beatles; 'Come as You Are' is better acoustically than released on 'Nevermind'; 'The Man Who Sold the World' is better than the Bowie original. 'Pennyroyal Tea' has some of the best lyrics Cobain ever wrote - "I'm on warm milk and laxatives; cherry flavoured ant ... Read More

- Perhaps Nirvana's Best album...MaybeThis album was recorded a short while before kurt cobain decided to end his life a few months afterwards.
It shows the bands (in my opinion) best talents as a band and Kurt's vocals really show in this fantastic live performance. Something in the way, lake of fire and plataeu are some of the best tracks here and are actually better than their studio counterparts, and the audince in the background makes the performance seem somehow even more epic. Strongly recommended Nirvana Album.

- The greatest live performance ever!Nirvana unplugged in new york is the greatest live performance of all time. It shows Kurt Cobain at his raw best. His amazing vocal talent in Lake of fire and Oh me and his great singer songwriter tecnique in All Apologies. Finished off by Where Did You Sleep Last Night a song which exposes Cobain in all of his emotion and vocal ability in which leaves the crowd motionless and cheering for a great man and a great band including Dave Grohl the gretest drummer of all time. The album gives unique songs in a way ... Read More
