The true greatness of Kurt Cobain is evident here

by tattooedjedi Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 04 '00
Pros: Just a perfect performance
Cons: Too bad there's not more songs
I am much more into hardcore than grunge. However Nirvana has always been one of my favorite bands. I've gone through 3 copies of Nevermind. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the Kurt Cobain was gone. I was legitimately shook up.

Living Up To his Legendary Status

by arm1 , Dec 19 '99
Pros: fantastic vocals, calm but skilled guitar & drum work, wonderful covers
Cons: none
I am not the hugest Nirvana fan in the world. I do not think Kurt Cobain was God incarnate. I do not think he was the genius writer people claimed him to be. I thought Nirvana was too loud, and expressed the kind of emotion 13-year-old boys experience...

if you don't own this cd BUY IT NOW.

by rendored , May 24 '00
Pros: Raw, Conquering, Original, Plastic, great
Cons: none
Can you say Meat Puppets, Sure Nirvana is Great, but you know they are good when they can take songs from another group that only had 1 hit and turn them into huge hits... It shows Nirvana had Talent, Kurt Cobain had Talent, and in the world of Rock and...

The neverending complexities of Nirvana

by FenderBoy , Feb 22 '00
Pros: The addition of aucustics was a nice change
Cons: Kurt's Dead :(
Of all the CD's I own, Nirvana Unplugged: Live in New York is the most listened to CD that I own. It never ceases to amaze me the ammount to focus and energy that Kurt Cobain puts into his lyrics and music. Kurts exuedes raw energy into a single album...

The range gives it quality

by WillDobbie , Jan 30 '00
Pros: Wide Variety, Wonderful Vocals, Good Track Progression
Cons: Lacks Nirvana's electric stuff (well it is unplugged)
I really like Unplugged, because it really shows the range of music that the band could perform. For example: How many other grunge bands do you know who will use an accordion in their songs?

The album ranges from the light sounds of...

This One's a Keeper

by space-al , Jul 21 '00
Pros: Nirvana at it's tranquil best
Cons: Too short!
MTV Unplugged in New York deftly illustrates how much talent Kurt Cobain and Nirvana really had at the highlight of their brief recording career. This album was recorded on November 18, 1993, Kurt Cobain's suicide followed a mere six months later...

UNPLUGGED: DOESN'T SUCK

by kurtsgurl7 , Aug 31 '01
Pros: everything
Cons: -
This album for me caprtured two of my favorite bands, Nirvana and The Meat Puppets. So it was a great CD to add to my collection. I watched the performance on TV and new right away that I had to have it. So I went out and got it. This was one of the...

Nirvana - "Unplugged In New York (MTV)"

by Mr_D Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 08 '00
Pros: Shows the group in a much better musical setting than their studio setting.
Cons: "On A Plain" is a little weak.
Ok, I was a teenager when "Smells like Teen Spirit" exploded on the scene and changed the popular music world forever. I was still into metal even in those days - But I tried. I went out and bought Nevermind, and I didn't like it (Ok, I liked...

Say hello to the greatest live recording of last decade

by terminator_cat , Oct 05 '04
Pros: amazing unplugged performance, excellent choice of cover songs
Cons: Kurt Cobain's dead, no other unplugged performance has reached the same standard
Welcome to the nineties, or should I say early nineties, where something has changed the state of rock. Nirvana have brought the state of mainstream away from hair metal into grunge, a genre which usually refers to the Seattle scene back in 1991 – ...

"Tell me where did you sleep last night..."

by headlessparrot Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 27 '02
Pros: Very powerful and emotional, fair level of musicianship.
Cons: Cons? You have to be f*cking kidding me!
I wrote in one of my earlier reviews that In Utero is the masterpiece of Nirvana’s body of work (although there’s really not a lot to choose from). Well, after going back and listening to MTV: Unplugged In New York, I may have to admit that I was...

Cons: The posthumous release...
Of all the albums I grew to love and appreciate while in high school, one stand out. No, I’m not talking about Stone Temple Pilots or Alice in Chains. I’m not speaking specifically of Nevermind. Nirvana, in my humble opinion, was at the...

Nirvana - Unplugged In New York

by carlmcq , Jul 25 '06
Pros: Beautiful & Brilliant
Cons: None
On November 18th 1993, the kings of 'grunge' stepped into a small studio filled with fans to perform an acoustic set. The traditionalist would have expected, or wanted, them to play the obvious likes of Smells Like Teen Spirit and Heart Shaped Box. But ...

When You Get Sick of Your Home Record...

by ihateu10666 , Dec 23 '04
Pros: "Nirvana Toned Down" as one critic put it, with the beauty really coming out.
Cons: Maybe I don't have glasses but...
You really have to admit that when you strip a band of it's distortion pedal, give it some acoustics and give it only one electronic device - the almighty mic - their talent will show. And that's really what Nirvana had a lot of: fuzz. It was distorted ...

"Shiver the Whole Night Through"

by PacManY2J PacManY2J is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 29 '09
Pros: excellent performances delivered with raw emotion; interesting cover choices
Cons: none
After three studio albums of aggressive and at times abrasive music, Nirvana stripped away that punk edge for their 1993 MTV Unplugged concert.   What remained revealed Nirvana as the true musicians they were.  As awesome as their noisy ...

Kurt's Beautiful Last Stand

by jadamscap , Apr 30 '01
Pros: Beautiful, melodic album with classy covers
Cons: "All Apologies" is out of place.
November, 1993, was a terrible time for Nirvana. Tabloids had been going crazy over Kurt's rumored heroin addiction, they were slapped in the face with how many so-called fans jumped the bandwagon with the fanbase-alienator "In Utero," and Courtney Love...
