Rolling Stone (5/13/99, p.56) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's." Rolling Stone (10/1/94, pp.120-121) - 4 Stars - Excellent - ".Nirvana's performance is stirring and occasionally brilliant, electricity be damned.Without the wild blasts ordinarily produced to fire Nirvana's sound, Cobain's love-buzz vocals are the focus." Spin (1/95, p.71) - Highly Recommended - ".UNPLUGGED captures the moment of Nirvana bathing in its own richly deserved light, and though the moment couldn't last, nothing in the music suggests that there was anything inevitable or natural about the next chapter of the story." Entertainment Weekly (11/4/94, pp.70-71) - ".Listening to MTV UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK is an unsettling experience.the ncentrates on the numbed-out chamber-grunge licacy and intimacy of these acoustic re-arrangements hint.where uld have gone." - Rating: A Q (12/99, p.82) - Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums Of The 1990s." Q (12/94, p.147) - 4 Stars - Excellent - ".stripped of the noise.the band sounds most moving, possessed of a ragged glory. It's also clear that they could have made even greater music. By the time Nirvana close with a wrenching, spine-chilling version of Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," the emotional complexity of Nirvana's music is clear. Every version of their previously recorded songs, with the possible exception of "On a Plain," dramatically improves the original, and the covers reveal more about Cobain than he intended. Instead of relying on the trio's overpowering sonic force, Unplugged concentrates on Kurt Cobain's subtly shaded songwriting and Nirvana's deceptively simple musical power. While it's an album of covers and old songs, it ranks as one of the band's most cohesive records. Sadly, MTV Unplugged stands as Nirvana's last album. UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK is part of MTV's "Unplugged" series. Recorded live at Sony Music Studios, New York, New York on November 18, 1993.
Additional personnel: Cris Kirkwood (acoustic guitar, bass) Pat Smear, Curt Kirkwood (acoustic guitar) Lori Goldston (cello). Nirvana: Kurt Cobain (vocals, acoustic guitar) Dave Grohl (vocals, bass, drums) Krist Novoselic (guitar, accordion, bass).
