Where did you sleep last night with a great introduction: A band that belongs among the best in rock history. It was instrumental in lifting Nirvana from a great rock band to an iconic group.
There are no weak performances on this album, and every time I hear it, I marvel at how good it really is. It could come down to pure stage presence from a band at their peak. It could also be the choice of songs, almost no hits, obscure songs were included, new and old cover versions also. This time they didn’t hide behind a wall of grunge, they displayed their vulnerability and, man, they could be just as intense in this format. It could be the stark contrast to their normal albums or the sparse, naked arrangements that shows that Nirvana could really play. Why is Nirvana’s unplugged album so much better than any other MTV unplugged effort? Rolling Stone ranked MTV Unplugged in New York at #311 in its list of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time”
As opposed to traditional practice on the television series, Nirvana played a set list composed of mainly lesser-known material and cover versions of songs by The Vaselines, David Bowie, Meat Puppets (during which they were joined by two members of the group onstage) and Lead Belly. The show was directed by Beth McCarthy and first aired on the cable television network MTV on December 14, 1993.
