The LA-live band presented with a poignant remake
In 1993, legendary grunge band Nirvana was at the height of their fame, and that same year they were invited to perform on MTV's "Unplugged" series. On 18 November, Nirvana entered the stage of Sony Music Studios in New York City, where they played a set that would go down in music history. They opened with a cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World", which immediately set the tone for the rest of the show: stripped-down, raw and emotionally charged.
Frontman Kurt Cobain's voice was in top form and his performance was filled with a sense of vulnerability and pain that was always the hallmark of his songwriting.
Sadly, this Unplugged performance would be one of Nirvana's last. Just five months later, Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home, marking the tragic end of one of the most influential bands of the 1990s.
Legendary Albums live presents the LA-Live band with a poignant remake of this one of the most iconic and beloved performances in rock history.
