I wonder if the people in the audience understood what they were witnessing. I truly believe this was one of the greatest performances of all time, from start to finish
There was an article by David Browne in Rolling Stone last year about the experience of being there, "In the Room at Nirvana’s ‘MTV Unplugged in New York’ " - www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/in-the-room-at-nirvanas-mtv-unplugged-in-new-york-904777/
I remember in high school when this unplugged concert came out, many of us started to not only learn to play guitar but also furry cardigans became very popular.
Years ago I knew this guy from Chile who was learning English the time Unplugged came out, and learned playing guitar from that album. He could play the album whole, but the funny thing is he had to include those bits of chatter than were included on the album... for example, when he played About a Girl, he *always* started with "this is off our first record; most people don't know it".
I like how before cell phones people wore wrist watches all the time, even to be able to have the time of day on your wrist was a good thing to have back then
@@hippiecheezburger5457 Back then asking someone if they "got the time?" wasn't just a code word for drugs. People were actually asking what time it was. We called these elite members of society "timekeepers" as they were the only ones who were able to capture & keep time on their wrists!
Dave seems really nervous to not make Kurt unhappy. He just seems a little on edge but not showing what's bothering him. They were debating taking Dave off the Unplugged show because he kept playing too loud during rehearsals, I'm sure as a drummer and a person that probably felt horrible to hear that his band was going to replace him for the most important concert they'd ever play. Dave admits that the last year of Nirvana things started to get kind of dark with all of the drugs around and Kurt criticizing his drumming on In Utero and the rehearsals to this concert. They still loved each other though of course and Dave probably doesn't want to say much negative about those days
@@lukesheehan89 there's a very old interview Dave did , I believe with Rolling Stone, where he talks about the drugs and Kurt Cobain being very hot and cold with him in the final year of the band.
Damn I'm old. I remember watching this the first night MTV played it. I was in the Army, hoping I'd be off duty so i could get home in time to watch it. Still one of the best shows, ever.
The camera angle at 3:57 as Cobain is playing the final sad notes of the song with the audience watching on in complete silence and full attention with none of the other members of the group visible is for me one of those special moments where you can see the simple yet charismatic attraction that Cobain had on his audience. But seeing him briefly by himself also gives a poignant portrayal of a man who was extremely popular and beloved yet very lonely.
Literally cracking jokes and laughing on stage and right before a super important performance Dave-“you gotta smoke man?” Walks into the background and sparks a dart. Like these dudes are the chilliest mother f’ers during live performances
to be honest, i've never thought of crying for someone that wasn't even around when i was born, but by this time in my life i'm pretty sure that i wouldn't have been able to go through the ups and downs in my life without listening to that man that wasn't around when i was born. thanks kurt for fulfiling the role of the one i shouldn't be looking up to while making me wish to have met you. i love you, thanks for making life a little easier.
I was 12 when he died and heard about it in the Radio the same day; it definitely was an event in my early youth, but so I won't cry for anyone because he was good in anything and didn't want to live any longer; look at the people forced to live in this world, and then cry
@@NubsWithGuns If you don't want to talk about it, then why do you answer? It's okay and maybe necessary to idolize specially gifted people when you're young, but with adulthood that should come to an end; the real tragedies in this world are much more gruesome and horrible than the event that a quite young man decides to end his life; If you read his diary (which I think you did), then you know how much He suffered from chronical pain in his stomach and that this was Not only one of the reasons for his addiction, but also for the decision to committ suicide. Besides that I think like the Romans and many other people did before Christianity took control over both body and mind of our ancestors, that every man with dignity and pride should decide by himself when he wants to end his life; Kurt seems to have been such a man, and If it felt right for him, I totally respect his decision.
His vocals are so strong, right through the range. And holding the high note on the chorus with eeeeeeeeee is so good because that’s the hardest vowel sound to sing. A naturally gifted singer. A knockout performance.
@@joelthegoat4284 the note is an E4 try holding it on a Ah for as long as he does it's really just the ee vowel it works in head voice just not in chest voice like at all

I agree 100% bro!! I'm also recovering, the I'm on warm milk and laxatives cause of the opiate constipation, and in my case, cherry flavored antacids cause I've struggled with horrible fucking heartburn and ulcers from drinking so much as a teen and into my early 20's! You won't hear this often, but opiates probably saved my life, they got me to stop drinking, I probably would've had to look forward to a life of life threatening withdrawals and sclerosis of the liver! As much as I continplated suicide during opiate withdrawel, I was always a lil thankful when I would see the worst alcoholics in rehab! I've seen and helped with more seizures than I can count and watched one guy bite half his tongue off!!
@@sealmcneal4036 He’s literally talking about heroin addiction. “I’m on my time with everyone” heroin addicts distance themselves from loved ones. “I’m a liar and a thief”. Self explanatory. “I have very bad posture”. Heroin addicts have no muscle mass and end up crooked at the shoulders. “Sitting drinking pennyroyal tea and I’m on warm milk and laxatives” to flush the system as heroin constipates you. Thus creating acid reflux cherry flavoured anti acids. Most the things he says are symptoms of heroin addiction. And the fact he was a heroin addict.
30 years later, i find myself gravitating back to this absolute masterpiece. I cannot tell you how many times I've listened to this performance, but it's still not enough.
I was 14yo and I’m 44 now 😊 I remember getting the phone call of our loss maybe a few months afterwards. Still hurts to this day that he is gone. In fact I still don’t want to believe he chose to do that to himself. I’ve never trusted Kourtney since and never really cared for her music anyway. They were separated when that happened. Either way, he is certainly missed and holds a place in our hearts forever 💞
“I’m so tired I can’t sleep” hits me so hard because the only way I fall asleep is by staying up till 12-2 AM which is a problem I’ve had for a while now. It affects school and my overall mental health, and I feel comforted hearing that line knowing that I’m not the only one. Edit: forgot I made this comment, but ion feel like this no more. And to the ppl in the comments talking abt “that’s nothing I go to sleep at 6 AM” that shit ain’t a flex, that’s sad bro, go to therapy, get yourself right. It ain’t cool to compare your shitty ass sleepy schedules and mental health.
From Elementary school to my junior year of high school I had the sleep cycle of an 1st grade elementary school student...the minute I joined the dorm program my dorm mates & the dorm staff let me go to sleep early only for one night so I could get enough sleep in order to wake up early in the morning after that it was time to start conditioning me to go to sleep later on in the night...but it took a year because the issue was severe enough that the conditioning & multiple medications had to be tweaked in response to me relapsing due to seasonal changes...
not the only one??!! we are everywhere. all the time, but most efficient between 10pm & 7am. when you say "school", what, are you 15 or 23? big diff. have a private MOTORHEAD concert in your home & mosh along for over an hour. you'll sleep.
My friend got sick & gave me his ticket to go. Guess I got really lucky. There was straight magic in the air. Everyone felt it. I’ll never ever forget it till the day I die. Couldn’t have been easy to do this all by himself. Rest easy King, luv u Kurt 🕊
I was a teenager, obsessed with rap music, then one night I saw this performance on Mtv, and my life changed. I became a metalhead from the very next day
Porque no los dos? As a kid, I was obsessed with rock, metal, death metal, grunge, punk, industrial and I still am. As an adult, I started giving some rap and hip-hop a chance, and some of it just floors me. I think it was dumb in the 90's that so many of us segregated our musical tastes. You saw less of this as time went on and some acts tried fusing the genres together, like Korn and many of the Nu-metal bands of the early 2000's. Over time, I've learned to appreciate talent wherever it lies. Give me some of that Lil John Krunk with a side of old school Dead Kennedys. It's all gravy. Even pop music, I'll give Brittany Spears a chance now when back then I wouldn't be caught dead. The girl can sing. If it sounds good, I'm on it. Broad, broad horizons and tastes. Though I still get down with some Cannibal Corpse. Give me some of that brutally extreme Death Metal. Works better than a cup of coffee first thing in the morning lol
The thing about Kurt's guitar playing is that it's ramshackle and barely holding itself together and yet somehow it works beautifully. It makes me wonder whether he was much more skilled than he seemed and that it's a spot on stylistic choice.
I think he was a really talented songwriter with an incredibly unique voice, but he also played guitar. Also, back then, a lot of underground bands played this style of noisy and sloppy guitar. You just pick up a guitar and start strumming until something sounds good. In his case, I think his ear is just much more sophisticated than his guitar playing ever got. He could get the sound he wanted with power chords and use the melody of his voice to add tonality to them.
Kurt absolutely was more skilled than he put on at the guitar. Either way his ear for melody is hands down the best I've seen along with Lennon and Elliot Smith

The song is like a satire if you think about it, he was gonna name this album "I hate myself and want to die" but for whatever reason they ditched it. Kurt was a full blown smart ass, but we all loved him for that

“I don't want my daughter to grow up and be disturbed at school by other children. I don't want to be told that she has drugged parents. ” KURT COBAIN.
It looks really bad..it sounds bad even.....but the message was that through the sound of his art. His music. That was the only way he could teach. And he taught himself..the message is...love and truth.
I say this all the time. I think of this song. It's a weird feeling how you can be so tired and can't sleep. ( I do it all the time) so I understand. Anyone who doesn't know Kurt's history and background will never fully understand how he was or understand his music. When u follow his music you can feel his life pour out in lyrics. I was sitting in a bar when I heard the devastating news of his passing. My life changed immediately thereafter. Truly sad 💔
Nirvana's music still speaks to us older people who heard it when Nirvana was just a new band out of Seattle. I can see how it would be great to every generation since then too. It just seems to not age.
I write poetry and music like this is very inspiring to me. the lyrics, the sound, the feeling you get when you listen to the lyrics. great song. beautifully played.
He's so alive both in Heaven and Earth...God created a real treasure in his child Kurt who against every obstacle in his way became truly himself at last...and his gift of music will heal and cheer us on forever....thanx for your thoughts☆☆☆☆
His heart and soul much out there for all to witness. Damn. This is a genius emotional artist. He knows he will pour out his spirit to this song , he thought of it , and then told his mates ...and then did it. Marvelous.

An absolute tragedy that this masterpiece only has 15 million views. I mourn for every one of you that has not heard this entire unplugged. One of the top 10 moments in music history. Ty Kurt
@@alexethan4480wenn Kurt heute noch leben würde, wäre er nicht diese Legende die er jetzt ist. Genau wie die anderen Hendrix,.... Und ich glaube kurt würde diese komische Welt heute nicht gefallen. Trotzdem träume ich von der Alternativen Realität, in der kurt irgendwo sein Leben lebt und weg von den Medien und dieser Berühmtheit. Er hätte es verdient.
For all the young ones, Pennyroyal Tea is epic and is his cry for help, and in some ways the unplugged is their best album, for me if you want raw Kurt listen to live at Pine Street and listen to School, Floyd the Barber and Dive back to back! Young, fearless, in the moment, giving it all he’s got! That 3 in a row for me is Nirvanas best! Fuck, they are all good but the energy at some of the early gigs is the real Nirvana! Whatever way it went down we lost someone you only see once in a generation or 10! Flawed, fragile, beautiful! His obvious pain made him but unfortunately took him as well!
@@elizabeth6768 I can speak for it because I have the same disorder Kurt has (bipolar depression). Pennyroyal tea (the actual tea) is known to help with stomach pain, as well as to help with abortions. In this case, Kurt is using "sit and drink pennyroyal tea" as a metaphor for his attempt to distil and abort the troubled soul within him, potentially purifying it draining the bad stuff out. This was especially the case when he was in severe depression with stomach pain. The song is basically about him wanting a cure for his depression. I was in a similar situation myself, where everyday after work, I'd just sit in my room all day thinking to myself & trying very hard to drain the depression out.
@@mikeandike2021 Thanks, it's one of my favorite tracks from In Utero. It's also my favorite Nirvana album because it relates the most with my life experiences.
That voice, I will miss forever that voice!!...Best Unplugged ever!...and the only real unplugged from MTV, they didn't practice anything, they just sat and played, a true acoustic ... true geniuses !!, since its premiere, I have never stopped listening to this concert, a true masterpiece! ... Nirvana4Ever !! ..
I love the unscripted banter, "That sounded good." "Shut up." Kurt doesn't even smile or look for a reaction when he says it. It's kinda mean, but I can't help loving that he was that cool, that in control, that effortlessly charismatic.
True ...you may not be able to tell here...but immediately after he says ' Shut up ' , he says ' just kiddinng ' ...being the sensitive person that he is...I mean was. Just like the lyrics , ' the animals I trap ,all become my Pets ' and ' it's okay to eat Fish cuz they don't have any feelings '. What a guy. He didn't deserve all the sadness in his life or the way bin which he left us. RIP Kurt ❤️ 🙏 See you in Heaven
I'm now 40 years old. When Kurt died (1994) I was then 14😭 and I'm still listening his 102 songs! He might be so happy that his best friend Dave Grohl is now on top of the world 🌎
By all means the most epic performances in history of development of grunge. Very glad to have been thrown gh this period of growth and expansion of life.
I love your comments...very in tune with Kurt!!! He was going through crisis and the guitar was him hanging on to his life💟oh...everyone has different polarities...not bipolar but able to switch gears instantly...trick is to find your center like draw a circle around yourself and push everything away then pull your energies into your circle and you are only you with no intrusion from anything or anyone who causes disturbance. Kurt was an empath...picked up on people's feelings and pain..it made him sad.... I'm like that too... it's hard to want to help and be helpless from trying!!! You're like my Dad...a friend to everyone never lied, never took the Lord's name in vane...never professed to be a Christian but he lived a Christian life. He told me as a child ...never do anything that your conscience is uncomfortable with!!! Thanx for loving Kurt🎄
He was a fragile soul I guess, reaching out for all the other fragile souls and my god with a shiver down our spines, and a tear in our eyes he reached us he reached us all.My darling Kurt, I love you little fella, I wish you where alive but you are in all our hearts we can always watch you here"Digitally immortal" Rob
Pennyroyal Tea is one of the greatest tracks in the history of modern music, it's introspective and intensely personal description of his struggles with depression and his physical pain, it is monumental in it's depth and sincerity. It's heartfelt cry of pain, it is truly astounding and inspirational. He was a very intelligent man, but it seems no one was listening to his cries for help!!!
I remember recording this onto a cassette and I used to play it all the time. I also remember the day it ate the tape. This song has always been one of my favorites
Kurt's sarcasm at the beginning about stopping the song if the key he tried it in wasn't to his liking is ironic. No one there & none of us would be upset at all if he stopped the already incredible song to start over again. Iconic 😋
I wonder if the people in the audience understood what they were witnessing. I truly believe this was one of the greatest performances of all time, from start to finish
Loved him then and still love him today!! Miss his beautiful talent!!

wait what? where is kurt?
Ikr dead
Me too
@@Riannon_Bardsley he's dead bro
He was a real legend 🙏🙏🙏
“I’m so tired I can’t sleep” hits me so hard because the only way I fall asleep is by staying up till 12-2 AM which is a problem I’ve had for a while now. It affects school and my overall mental health, and I feel comforted hearing that line knowing that I’m not the only one.
Edit: forgot I made this comment, but ion feel like this no more. And to the ppl in the comments talking abt “that’s nothing I go to sleep at 6 AM” that shit ain’t a flex, that’s sad bro, go to therapy, get yourself right. It ain’t cool to compare your shitty ass sleepy schedules and mental health.
Wow, that sucks.
Are you real!? I can't asleep till 6-8 am
From Elementary school to my junior year of high school I had the sleep cycle of an 1st grade elementary school student...the minute I joined the dorm program my dorm mates & the dorm staff let me go to sleep early only for one night so I could get enough sleep in order to wake up early in the morning after that it was time to start conditioning me to go to sleep later on in the night...but it took a year because the issue was severe enough that the conditioning & multiple medications had to be tweaked in response to me relapsing due to seasonal changes...
not the only one??!! we are everywhere. all the time, but most efficient between 10pm & 7am. when you say "school", what, are you 15 or 23? big diff. have a private MOTORHEAD concert in your home & mosh along for over an hour. you'll sleep.

Yesterday i was blessed w a beautiful granddaughter. Today, im blessed w this beautiful masterpiece. RIP Kurt. We miss you man...
Congrats!

@Castlebell Thank you so much:)
Congrats!
If you grew up in the 90s, and this set doesn't bring the occasional tear to your eye, you didn't live it right.
i grew up in 2000s but I feel you
Gimme a break.
Yeah will never forget when I heard that it's supposed to look like a funeral, considering what happened shortly after that
I know that's right. It's like the last place I saw Kurt alive.
@@jeanlundi2141 Ok, you didn't live it right.
My friend got sick & gave me his ticket to go. Guess I got really lucky. There was straight magic in the air. Everyone felt it. I’ll never ever forget it till the day I die. Couldn’t have been easy to do this all by himself.
Rest easy King, luv u Kurt 🕊
AllDopedUp13 Do you remember where you were sitting? Might be able to spot you in the video. :)
What did Krist mumbling about at the end when Kurt replied "Oh really?"
I am so jealous
Well said
Now, my friend, you are part of history
I was a teenager, obsessed with rap music, then one night I saw this performance on Mtv, and my life changed. I became a metalhead from the very next day
Porque no los dos? As a kid, I was obsessed with rock, metal, death metal, grunge, punk, industrial and I still am. As an adult, I started giving some rap and hip-hop a chance, and some of it just floors me. I think it was dumb in the 90's that so many of us segregated our musical tastes. You saw less of this as time went on and some acts tried fusing the genres together, like Korn and many of the Nu-metal bands of the early 2000's. Over time, I've learned to appreciate talent wherever it lies. Give me some of that Lil John Krunk with a side of old school Dead Kennedys. It's all gravy. Even pop music, I'll give Brittany Spears a chance now when back then I wouldn't be caught dead. The girl can sing.
If it sounds good, I'm on it. Broad, broad horizons and tastes. Though I still get down with some Cannibal Corpse. Give me some of that brutally extreme Death Metal. Works better than a cup of coffee first thing in the morning lol
Don't tell Kurt you call this metal!!!
What is the issue with rap music?
@@Dilligaf1
He can't since he's dead
@@Dilligaf1Nirvana started off as a metal band trying to sound like Celtic Frost. Bleach is through and through a sludge metal album.
The thing about Kurt's guitar playing is that it's ramshackle and barely holding itself together and yet somehow it works beautifully. It makes me wonder whether he was much more skilled than he seemed and that it's a spot on stylistic choice.
He was right handed playing lefty by choice! That itself is a remarkable skill...
@@IMPORTKILLR187 not really by choice his first ever guitar he got as a gift was a lefty
I think he was a really talented songwriter with an incredibly unique voice, but he also played guitar. Also, back then, a lot of underground bands played this style of noisy and sloppy guitar. You just pick up a guitar and start strumming until something sounds good. In his case, I think his ear is just much more sophisticated than his guitar playing ever got. He could get the sound he wanted with power chords and use the melody of his voice to add tonality to them.
@@IMPORTKILLR187 this guitar is strung left handed though.
Kurt absolutely was more skilled than he put on at the guitar. Either way his ear for melody is hands down the best I've seen along with Lennon and Elliot Smith
Pennyroyal tea he sounds like theres a whole band playing with him hes just so special. Kurt honestly is in the 3td heaven.
Hi!
I found that St. Paul wound up very briefly in the 3rd zHeaven in 2 Corinthians 12:2 I was amazed it's new to me. I hear it's called The Celestial Kingdom read John 5:24 " I assure you that whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life
and won't come under judgement
but has passed from death into Life"

“I didn’t screw it up did I?” That was so cute
“No.” *drums.*
He obviously didn't realise how Good He was and what He Was?
@@jamesbarker7788 yeah he was very insecure
@@jamesbarker7788 yea man, he also ended up hating himself because he thought he wasn't a good dad.
He does fumble the lyrics in a few spots, but so what? It adds to the performance.
Arguably the best nirvana song, the lyrics are so underrated.
"When he plays, no one speaks." Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) - Friend of a Friend
@Samuel Carr it was about Kurt and Krist
Samuel Carr he told the story in the skin and bones concert about joining Nirvana and how he wrote that song and Marigold when he first joined.
Did Grohl move to the Foo Fighters after Kurt’s death?
@@crazysilly2914 yeah, most of their first album was stuff he was working on during his time in Nirvana.
@Rhenz Ninja 2 in the words of James hetfield " WE DONT GIVE A SHIT"
This music got me through my teenage years. Now I’m in my 30s, and whenever I listen to it, it’s like visiting an old friend. 💜

I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
Instead of the classic lines
@@scooter3481 His crippling and agonizing stomach problems
Thought it’s “steal” the life that’s inside of me not distill
The entire concert was lights out. Unbelievable talent.
Absolutely legendary performance.
I think this is my favorite out of all the unplugged performances. Legends never die period.
This always feels like he is singing at his own funeral, with the flowers and such. Rest in peace Kurt.
Oh
Beautifully said
He wanted it to look like a funeral. He picked those flowers specifically because they’re most common at funerals.
@Hentai Senpai she didn’t. The main reasons ppl think she did was bc of a documentary a man who was incredibly misogynistic made
That's what they said about Alice in chains unplugged
Esse cara não podia ter ido embora tão cedo.
The absolute courage of him, to do this song COMPLETELY BY HIMSELF, after
so true
after what sorry im not informed
After what
Specially being socially anxious and with a low self steem, he aimed for greatness despite it all.
It's so hard to describe how good this is, the best thing I can come up with is that Kurt performing just feels like home, so relaxing
It’s crazy how consistent his voice was through all the live performance and the original recordings
The audience got to watch a gem that day. The most popular gig Nirvana ever did right here. R.I.P Kurt u will never be forgotten
One of my fav Kurt Cobain performances. He was a special guy..
Tomnedreb Hey ! Nice to see you there ;) Wish you’ll cover it really soon
i love your videos man , especially the energy you have when playing
I will.
Oh hi again
Do you have a bass by any chance?
I feel the pain in this song..
No, he was nervous as hell playing in this formal style
The song is like a satire if you think about it, he was gonna name this album "I hate myself and want to die" but for whatever reason they ditched it.
Kurt was a full blown smart ass, but we all loved him for that

I remember when this was on MTV and I don't think I moved from my seat from start to finish It was just so amazing
How old were you?
Two years old?? 😆
@@MrYomomoto 12ish
“I don't want my daughter to grow up and be disturbed at school by other children. I don't want to be told that she has drugged parents. ” KURT COBAIN.
Where did he say that?
It looks really bad..it sounds bad even.....but the message was that through the sound of his art. His music. That was the only way he could teach. And he taught himself..the message is...love and truth.
When ever I hear this version of this song, it just makes me cry. You can hear the pain in his voice and see the pain in his eyes.
Please shut the fuck up.
@@RockDeKasbah tell me about it lmao, it’s so fucjing annoying
Ya. My Fav. Song
@@sebastiangaspardealba2527 I think Cobain would cringe hard as fuck at comments like these. Stop your fucking sniveling.
Chills listening
Hands down one of the greatest performances. Kurt was an amazing song writer!
I was 23 when this happened. So many memories and emotions listening to this album.
"I'm a liar and a thief"
That line breaks my heart.
To this day it's one of the most haunting/best songs, Kurt ever did! He did it by himself, who has ever done that!!!
I'm happy that Nirvana is finally officially uploading all of there Unplugged videos
*all of their
Nirvana is so cool. They are like water, or a seatbelt even. Thanks guys!
I'M SO TIREEEED I CAN'T SLEEEEEP
I say this all the time. I think of this song. It's a weird feeling how you can be so tired and can't sleep. ( I do it all the time) so I understand. Anyone who doesn't know Kurt's history and background will never fully understand how he was or understand his music. When u follow his music you can feel his life pour out in lyrics. I was sitting in a bar when I heard the devastating news of his passing. My life changed immediately thereafter. Truly sad 💔
Nirvana's music still speaks to us older people who heard it when Nirvana was just a new band out of Seattle. I can see how it would be great to every generation since then too. It just seems to not age.
Im so tired I can’t sleep.
I though it was Can't see😔
I thought it was "im so tired i cant breathe" lol
Me
I’m anemic royalty.
I know that feeling.
I write poetry and music like this is very inspiring to me. the lyrics, the sound, the feeling you get when you listen to the lyrics. great song. beautifully played.
1:09 - This made me sit up straight.
Kurt was such a big loss :( I was born after he died and I still tear up every time I hear him :(
Same :(
Hmm?
Procure tratamento!
So much raw and powerful emotion in this. I don't think knew just how powerful this performance was..
I love Dave's little drum thing at the start 🤣🤣 RIP Kurt, you are not dead
He's so alive both in Heaven and Earth...God created a real treasure in his child Kurt who against every obstacle in his way became truly himself at last...and his gift of music will heal and cheer us on forever....thanx for your thoughts☆☆☆☆
His heart and soul much out there for all to witness. Damn. This is a genius emotional artist. He knows he will pour out his spirit to this song , he thought of it , and then told his mates ...and then did it. Marvelous.
Yeeeeah! New notification from Nirvana = open immediately
If time travel is ever a thing, this concert will be a destination.
I think this is his best song, it really expresses how he is feeling, it has such emotion
What an era. The grungy jaw swinging unplugged 90s ❤️
☺ the Nirvana Unplugged is the best unplugged
NATIVE LATINOS Fook TRUMP Alice In Chains>>>
Pearl Jams unplugged was Amazing as well. Like, Really Amazing. Check that one out too:) You will not be disappointed...

An absolute tragedy that this masterpiece only has 15 million views. I mourn for every one of you that has not heard this entire unplugged. One of the top 10 moments in music history. Ty Kurt
Pure talent all around. I wonder here and there what it would be like if the legends like Kurt , jimmy hendrix and Morrison was still here
it's kinda hard to imagine
About the same
@@alexethan4480wenn Kurt heute noch leben würde, wäre er nicht diese Legende die er jetzt ist. Genau wie die anderen Hendrix,.... Und ich glaube kurt würde diese komische Welt heute nicht gefallen. Trotzdem träume ich von der Alternativen Realität, in der kurt irgendwo sein Leben lebt und weg von den Medien und dieser Berühmtheit. Er hätte es verdient.
Jimi, not Jimmy.
@@maxstrayle1691 okay
For all the young ones, Pennyroyal Tea is epic and is his cry for help, and in some ways the unplugged is their best album, for me if you want raw Kurt listen to live at Pine Street and listen to School, Floyd the Barber and Dive back to back!
Young, fearless, in the moment, giving it all he’s got!
That 3 in a row for me is Nirvanas best!
Fuck, they are all good but the energy at some of the early gigs is the real Nirvana!
Whatever way it went down we lost someone you only see once in a generation or 10!
Flawed, fragile, beautiful! His obvious pain made him but unfortunately took him as well!
how was it his cry for help?
@@elizabeth6768 I can speak for it because I have the same disorder Kurt has (bipolar depression). Pennyroyal tea (the actual tea) is known to help with stomach pain, as well as to help with abortions. In this case, Kurt is using "sit and drink pennyroyal tea" as a metaphor for his attempt to distil and abort the troubled soul within him, potentially purifying it draining the bad stuff out. This was especially the case when he was in severe depression with stomach pain. The song is basically about him wanting a cure for his depression. I was in a similar situation myself, where everyday after work, I'd just sit in my room all day thinking to myself & trying very hard to drain the depression out.
@@albalog2449 that's a great interpretation homie
@@mikeandike2021 Thanks, it's one of my favorite tracks from In Utero. It's also my favorite Nirvana album because it relates the most with my life experiences.
@@albalog2449 yeah In Utero is my favorite album by them too
That voice, I will miss forever that voice!!...Best Unplugged ever!...and the only real unplugged from MTV, they didn't practice anything, they just sat and played, a true acoustic ... true geniuses !!, since its premiere, I have never stopped listening to this concert, a true masterpiece! ... Nirvana4Ever !! ..
I love the unscripted banter, "That sounded good." "Shut up." Kurt doesn't even smile or look for a reaction when he says it. It's kinda mean, but I can't help loving that he was that cool, that in control, that effortlessly charismatic.
True ...you may not be able to tell here...but immediately after he says
' Shut up ' , he says ' just kiddinng '
...being the sensitive person that he is...I mean was.
Just like the lyrics , ' the animals I trap ,all become my Pets ' and ' it's okay to eat Fish cuz they don't have any feelings '. What a guy. He didn't deserve all the sadness in his life or the way bin which he left us.
RIP Kurt ❤️ 🙏 See you in Heaven
Dave calling over Pat for a smoke so Kurt can have the spotlight, I wish I had a bro like that
LOL right.
join a band, they do that quite often 😂
I read that dave was actually pissed cause they rehearsed this song together and then kurt decided to do it solo
Zerro Nyx how can he be pissed if Dave told him that he should do it by himself
alego 723 he is now, everybody Kurt knew failed him
It's Christmas every day! More please!
Almost Christmas again stop by and listen again!
Christmas in two days! Glad to have stopped by!
One more day man
Christmas
Almost christmas again
Kurt we lost you 26 yrs ago today. Yet the music lives on and will NEVER die.
Never get sick of listening to this masterpiece of a show.
Today's kids don't know what they missed.
For the 90's were the best time to be young.
I'm now 40 years old. When Kurt died (1994) I was then 14😭 and I'm still listening his 102 songs! He might be so happy that his best friend Dave Grohl is now on top of the world 🌎
Saying "how much this guy look like Nirvana's drummer" turned into an internet meme, no matter what he does he wont catch the success of Nirvana days.
They actually hated each other, unfortunately. Look it up
best friend? not even close, kurts best friend was he himself
What kind of perfection in his voice.
I love this concert sm. Holds a special place in my heart tbh.
The most beautiful song ever written , intensely personal and insightful !!!
Maybe it's weird, but I feel this song down to my core.
Let's just pretend Nirvana are still around and this performance was last week and that Imagine Dragons never happened
Imagination dragons .. check out practical jokers .. you will thank me lol..
I actually set a reminder in my phone to remember this. I will be asking you a question in 3 years :)
imagine dragons is cool tho.
YES
YES
YES
I don't listen to Imagine Dragons myself, but don't shit on other bands like that.
Do the people in the crowd actually know how lucky they are and were?!! What a solo performance!
By all means the most epic performances in history of development of grunge. Very glad to have been thrown gh this period of growth and expansion of life.
0:43 he really nailed that Am chord.
I mean he's the Kurt Cobain.
He hugging that guitar like it was a baby. holding it so tightly.
Man he was a genius, bipolar is a sign of being highly intelligent.
I'm bipolar so thanks we are just different special soul's
I love your comments...very in tune with Kurt!!! He was going through crisis and the guitar was him hanging on to his life💟oh...everyone has different polarities...not bipolar but able to switch gears instantly...trick is to find your center like draw a circle around yourself and push everything away then pull your energies into your circle and you are only you with no intrusion from anything or anyone who causes disturbance. Kurt was an empath...picked up on people's feelings and pain..it made him sad.... I'm like that too... it's hard to want to help and be helpless from trying!!!
You're like my Dad...a friend to everyone never lied, never took the Lord's name in vane...never professed to be a Christian but he lived a Christian life. He told me as a child ...never do anything that your conscience is uncomfortable with!!!
Thanx for loving Kurt🎄
He was a fragile soul I guess, reaching out for all the other fragile souls
and my god with a shiver down our spines, and a tear in our eyes he reached us
he reached us all.My darling Kurt, I love you little fella, I wish you where alive
but you are in all our hearts we can always watch you here"Digitally immortal"
Rob
Oh that touches my heart very well put...tears in our hearts he's
with us in Spirit....I think God sent him to us specially...I live him dearly♡♡♡♡
Pennyroyal Tea is one of the greatest tracks in the history of modern music, it's introspective and intensely personal description of his struggles with depression and his physical pain, it is monumental in it's depth and sincerity. It's heartfelt cry of pain, it is truly astounding and inspirational. He was a very intelligent man, but it seems no one was listening to his cries for help!!!
I remember recording this onto a cassette and I used to play it all the time. I also remember the day it ate the tape. This song has always been one of my favorites
Kurt's sarcasm at the beginning about stopping the song if the key he tried it in wasn't to his liking is ironic. No one there & none of us would be upset at all if he stopped the already incredible song to start over again. Iconic 😋
Grande Nirvana, como los grandes grupos de la Historia musical. Merece el mérito de tenerlo. Hermosa canción.
Kurt thinks he's going to screw that up, oh man.....talent oozing all over the stage
