Nirvana MTV Unplugged In New York CD

Recorded in November 1993 and released the following year, MTV Unplugged in New York stands as one of Nirvana’s most powerful and enduring performances. Stripped of distortion and delivered with stark emotional clarity, the set reveals a different side of the band — intimate, vulnerable, and steeped in the raw tension of Kurt Cobain’s voice and songwriting.

This US Sony DADC reissue presents the full session as originally broadcast and expanded for album release, including unforgettable interpretations of David Bowie, Lead Belly, and The Vaselines, alongside reimagined versions of Nirvana classics. A landmark acoustic recording that remains one of the defining live albums of the 1990s.
