Unplugged in New York CD review

Nirvana, 1994.

I like Nirvana...

And I especially like this CD.
You can hear the words!
The Man Who Sold The World is even better than Bowie's original!

Yes, it was tragic that Kurt departed the world so soon, and in such pain.
These performances capture the beauty of his voice, his lyrics, his tunes and his aching desire to be in a Good Place.

Being unplugged, we are treated to a Dave Grohl many decibels lower than usual, and this also is special, as we hear something of the live chemistry of the band - Grohl, Novoselic and Cobain (plus some strings).

Cobain is often represented as a guy who wanted to sound as cool as The Beatles - pretty much achieved his goal on this album.
Favourite - All Apologies (Sinead does a glorious version of this on Universal Mother).

10/10 - bring a box of tissues!
