@@jalamela2607 yep. This performance motivated me to get a guitar and take lessons when I was 12..now in my 40s and still play every single day. I love that they did Meat Puppet covers and had them on. I think it's just that this was the first time I saw it in high definition and noticed the quarter
I'm am 41 years old and Nirvana got me through my teen years. Unplugged is by far their greatest album and performance. My son is 11 and learning guitar and all he wants to learn are Nirvana songs. It's cool hearing him and his guitar teacher(who's in his late 20's) talk about and play this music I love so much!
Mate same here, I’m 45 n I was obsessed with nirvana my heart broke when he passed as It also got me thro my teens n saved me more than a few times, and now I witness my kids wearing the merch listening to the music n asking me what was it like, it’s so amazing the next generation know n love the music we grew up to aw bless him x
My grandmother passed away in August of 2020. This was her favorite album. She always played it in the car when we went somewhere. She was so cool you guys. She was 57 when she passed. I’m so glad I have the memories of her listening and signing along to these songs
So sorry for your loss. Nirvana was a truly magical band and that is so awesome that you are able to connect these timeless, beautiful songs with her memory. If you haven't, you should check out other Nirvana albums like Nevermind, In Utero, Live at Reading 92, and Live at the Paramount. Nirvana completely changed the face of music forever during their relatively short existence (1987-1994).
0:31 when kurt says "some belong to strangers" his voice is so smooth, I can not explain it gets me every time, i feel a lot of emotios like getting into a trip
25 years later, Kurt is still my go-to when I feel hurt, happy or angry. He seems to sing my frustrations away. I age as he stands still, a powerful voice in my head that resonates with me forever. I love you Kurt, I wish you knew how much you meant to so many people.
I feel the same way. I’m only 20, and I was born years before he died, but reading his diary entries and listening to his music brings some sort of strong connection to me. I understand his depression and the way that he felt about himself. Maybe it’s weird but it’s almost refreshing for there to have been someone who was so famous and loved that had the same issues as I do.
How he sweetly hums at the outro... The more I watch the more I wished I could just jump in to give him a hug. Such a beautiful yet wounded soul! RIP Kurt
Boa tarde...Kurt, only He knew/Knows, that Was/Is wanted Knowledge and Emotions, and then Both put Together With Music and Feeling(putted with their Hearth) YES theres All and THEY Shared... Externamente Agradecido
Meat Puppets were truly a brilliant band, and we gotta thank them for inspiring Kurt so much. Their covers during this show are some of my favorite nirvana recordings of all time. This song is just so weird and funky and hypnotizing. Lyrically so interesting. Also anyone who's tried to play this version on acoustic knows very well how much this hurts your fingers lol.
Dexter M I’m a fan of all their albums, although I first fell in love with their second and third albums which are generally considered to be among their best. The albums are called Meat Puppets II and Up on the Sun. If you’re not into either of those I can’t imagine you’d be into their later stuff. All three MP songs in Nirvana Unplugged are from Meat Puppets II.
he definitely wasn't. no perfect man has a child and then shoots his brains out. that makes him a weak man, he couldnt hold on so he wouldnt abandon his kid?
@@mr.hedgehog420 he could have been murdered too we don't really know the full story, he had more heroin in him than humanly possible so it hard to imagine him gracefully slipping his big toe into a shotgun trigger while full of enough dope to kill a rhino. Could have been the case but he had demons man, it didn't make him a bad person he just gave up after docs told him he couldn't sing like that anymore and he became angry at everything.
@@mr.hedgehog420 and that kid was not abandoned, they had people that helped take care of it and a family that supported them. The kid was not left to fend for itself and probably lives comfortably. Sucks we don't have Kurt around but he was a bitter person at times it seemed and in todays time I think he would have become hateful bc of all the bullshit, superficial nonsense that is entertainment now. He's one of those artists that I sort of am glad burned out bright and young so he's memorialized in that image, it's what makes people love him so much, we never saw him fall off.
@@michaelginsburg7192 He didn't slip his big toe into the trigger cause he had shoes on. Reality is, he was murdered by Courtney. It's all explained in the Soaked in Bleach documentary.
"Plateau" (originally by The Meat Puppets) Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words When you've finished with the mop then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen And the work it was fun There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
How Nice I like Come As You Are and About A Girl a LOT on Unplugged, mainly because of how melodious they sound but Who Did You Sleep with Last Night, Kurt killed the vocals 😅
I still remember watching this live on MTV when it first came out in 1993...Came home, grabbed a beer and plopped on the sofa and this was the first thing that came up with this original first time airing of this show...talk about perfect timing luck for me......Same thing happened with the Alice in Chains unplugged...same perfect timing
Ditto. I was watching it with my 1 yr old while my 7 yr old was out front with a friend salting slugs!🤪. Wish he was still here. Such a beautiful talent. His voice still gives me chills.
That's because during rehearsal the previous day Kurt thought he was hitting them too hard for an unplugged set and they even considered another drummer for the show.
This Unplugged session with Nirvana is easily in the top 10 greatest performances of all time and easily closer to number one in my top 5 fav performances personally. Nirvana unplugged and stripped down like this is truly something special. It captures the true essence of the band as a whole with the noise and chaos stripped from it...Rawest live performance ever!!
sin7ent Reading this gave me a weird feeling, like I’d hate to be the person who lost their Nirvana cd but I also feel very happy for u, like a splendid feeling u know
I can always feel a sadness about Kurt especially on Unplugged because even if she smiles or laughs, you can just tell he was lost in a world of his own and there’s always a sad touch to him :(
I grew up listening to Nirvana in the 90's as a teenager. My ex boyfriend when I was 28 abused the hell out of me. I would escape to a mini playground in the apartment complex listening to this,and dreamed of one day putting music,and my thoughts together in video. Now its happening,and haven't seen that dumbass in over 13yrs. Good ridance! Also thank you Kurt. I know you were in pain,but despite that It's unfortunate I will never be able to tell you how much comfort you brought to me when I felt worthless. RIP 🙏
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words When you've finished with the mop, then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen And the work, it was fun Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some said it was Greenland, and some say Mexico Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses Wouldn't help you if they could (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Ridhuan AB imo it’s about hitting plateaus in life like we all do whether it be work, working out, music etc Just my opinion tho, Kurt wanted his songs to mean whatever they meant to you not what it meant to him, although this isn’t his song he picked it for a reason to cover.
The last section of this song is one of the most beautiful harmonies I’ve ever heard. It’s beyond perfect. A word doesn’t exist to describe how wonderful this performance is. God bless Kurt 🥲🙏🏼
The Outro (which is beautiful) as it begins and goes on, is in your face w/ its beauty and then it seems like Kurt Cobain starting to hum was an ‘in the moment’ thing and guitar Kirkwood realized it, loved it and dialed himself back so that those hums could come through; just wonderful...
Something about the way he clears his throat before he starts to sing is so endearing,this song and "lake of fire" were definitely the highlight of this set/album
RIP Kurt 27 yrs we have been without you or your sweet soul. We miss you and still love you today. Never another. Today 04/05/21 marks the 27th yr. Feels like yesterday.
My god this man is so beautiful. Such a precious soul. The amount of sadness and emotion in his face when he sings gives me chills. He died before I was born but I feel his presence all of the time, especially in Seattle which is where I live at the moment. He has very much affected my life. Much love for you Kurt ❤️
I'm listening to this on March 26th, 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. We need someone like Kurt to guide us through these tough times. All we have are his music. I feel soothed and comforted by his "werrrds". Thanks Kurt!
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Nirvana. Particularly in this unplugged show, I can hear a Beatles influence in both bands too
His human body is being eaten by worms. His art is timeless and still radiant like you still feel his energy even though he is gone. Growing old is not so bad but what do I know I'm thing 1 and that is thing 2

i dont know how to express this properly but the part from 2.16 till the end gets me everytime. i feel overwhelmed. its not sadness but sometimes tears roll. nirvana helped me in my early teens when i was struggling with life. i love them.
@@Town101 wow. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this and never knew or noticed that before. Was that his trademark thing or something done randomly for this show?
one of the best chord progressions. radiohead has many songs with similar thats why i love them. you can see kurt drifting away during that part... he did the same during the rehearsal. it does something to you when you hear that chord progressions idk what
A masterpiece definitely, but underrated? Not really. Even the least viewed songs have 10m+ views, as well as being referred to by the best acoustic performance ever by many.
What a legend. This is proper music, no auto tune, no horrible DJ bass boosts. This was all a masterpiece. One of my favourite bands to listen to, such a shame that he is gone.
I have a huge picture of him by my bed . My daughter got it for me for my birthday. The other wall has Chris Cornell and Layne Staley.. lots of others waiting to be put up
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Nirvana. Particularly in this unplugged show, I can hear a Beatles influence in both bands too
Fun fact about Kurt that people don't really bring up these days. He had a fetish for wearing womens underwear...everyday. People also like to bring up his addiction to boy, but his DOC was cough syrup.

This unplugged is truly a masterpiece.
Yes it is.
Bingo
AIC is miles ahead
To be honest, I prefer this one more than their other, grungy songs 😉. And I used to be a great fan.
Alice in Chains unplugged is better
Man…..2:19 always hits me hard. I just love that riff with Kurt humming over it
Picking with a quarter as well is pretty cool
Can fly to that all day everyday
I was thinking about this riff and just played this song.
God bless curtis
Fantastic love this part outro to the song , when he starts humming perfect harmony all instruments and his voice
Kurts whole vibe is just something else. He was too good for this world.
Only the good die young

"Plateau"
(originally by The Meat Puppets)
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun

You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop, then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work, it was fun
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses
Wouldn't help you if they could
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Honestly what the lyrics is all about? 😅😅
Hi
Hola
Ridhuan AB imo it’s about hitting plateaus in life like we all do whether it be work, working out, music etc Just my opinion tho, Kurt wanted his songs to mean whatever they meant to you not what it meant to him, although this isn’t his song he picked it for a reason to cover.
@@d1want34 to me it's about true happiness (paradise on earth), but it's a song that's about what you feel like fits the most!!
Y'all know this is a cover, don't you?
The last section of this song is one of the most beautiful harmonies I’ve ever heard. It’s beyond perfect. A word doesn’t exist to describe how wonderful this performance is. God bless Kurt 🥲🙏🏼
Kurt is dead
God bless the kirkwoods
@@Batyr.samoychka🤡🤡
@@Batyr.samoychka no digas eso q esta muerto para nosotros no eso ya es un insulto muy grande
Kurt's thoughtful humming is so great..
The Outro (which is beautiful) as it begins and goes on, is in your face w/ its beauty and then it seems like Kurt Cobain starting to hum was an ‘in the moment’ thing and guitar Kirkwood realized it, loved it and dialed himself back so that those hums could come through; just wonderful...
"Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about BiRrRrRds"
Best part.
I was scrolling through the comments and read your comment at the exact moment he sang that line. That BiRrRrRds got me
hahaha ye, such a tune
coot
best part (2)
Something about the way he clears his throat before he starts to sing is so endearing,this song and "lake of fire" were definitely the highlight of this set/album
The look on Kurt's face as he was humming was pure tranquility. It made me tear up a little.
And Kurt's just spinning his chair left and right like a little kid in it's mother's office
haha, he had such a child like vibe ? love it
Freddy Richards ❤️❤️❤️
Lets be honest, who doesnt spin side to side when on a spinning chair
Daniel Elder exactly!
He was going through withdrawals
This Unplugged Nirvana session is truly their lightning in a bottle moment if they ever had one...This WAS it!!
Try their album Live at the Paramount (1991). I'd say there's as much lightning in that bottle as there is in this one.
The guitar with Kurt's humming are therapy
I love all members of Nirvana, but Kurt was gifted beyond belief. Pure genius. God rest his soul 🙏
RIP Kurt 27 yrs we have been without you or your sweet soul. We miss you and still love you today. Never another. Today 04/05/21 marks the 27th yr. Feels like yesterday.
My god this man is so beautiful. Such a precious soul. The amount of sadness and emotion in his face when he sings gives me chills. He died before I was born but I feel his presence all of the time, especially in Seattle which is where I live at the moment. He has very much affected my life. Much love for you Kurt ❤️
Nobody in that crowd even understands what they’re witnessing. Just amazing. Masterpiece.
I never knew he sang this entire masterpiece with a cigarette in his hand
Yes sulking and smoking was very 90s.
Did he ever hit the cigarette?
Is there any other way to sing it? Light it with this song cause it is fiery as fuuuck.🔥💜🔥
@@AnnaLVajda so 90s
Anyone can do that tho
I'm listening to this on March 26th, 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. We need someone like Kurt to guide us through these tough times. All we have are his music. I feel soothed and comforted by his "werrrds". Thanks Kurt!
That's exactly why I'm here too. Stay safe
same here on May 9th 2020 ☠🖤💋
Consistently Random Ya the answer is Trump
Me too
@@jaegerentertainment6865 you dont actually think that do you?
Kurt had limitless talent and so much more to give
Truly a grunge legend and icon for so many generations to come
I like that this album sounds like a studio album but its actually live, the greatness of Kurt
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Nirvana. Particularly in this unplugged show, I can hear a Beatles influence in both bands too
we are all growing old, and look at him staying young forever.
even francis bean is older now than he ever was, probably a trip for her to think about haha
His human body is being eaten by worms. His art is timeless and still radiant like you still feel his energy even though he is gone. Growing old is not so bad but what do I know I'm thing 1 and that is thing 2
@@mikelinder2071 He was cremated, and yes I am well aware I am being "that guy" right now
Heroin is a preservative
Man, that is fucking profound.
I love the way Kurt says Birds!
Me to
Me too, his voice sounds so itchy
I love it how he just Humming At 2:24 and till the end :)
His voice is just one of a kind
I’ve seen this a million times, and I just realized he’s sitting on a random office chair.
Yeah they showed him a bunch of really great stools and chairs and thats what he picked😂
Over two decades and I hadn't noticed either
Everyone’s gotta sit on something
its like the organisers of the show were last minute like:
"aww shit we don't have a chair for Kurt, quick, go get the nice one from the my office"
back when...mtv was broke too...i guess
Cobain will never die in my mind. Him and his music will live on forever
when you have online class at 8 AM but its 3 am and you’re watching nirvana mtv unplugged
Sounds about right, yeah
same
literally 3:29 here rn
me rn
When you have online classes at 8 and it's 8 am but you're still watching Nirvana cause who cares about education when you can watch Kurt Cobain!
It's easily one of the best pieces of music ever written.
i agree meat puppets II is one of the best pieces of music ever written!!
LYRICS:
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
You've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work, it was fun
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words?
Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses
Wouldn't help you if they could
Testing one, testing two
Cover your hair and your eyes
'Kay, this is called "Oh Me"
🧡🤘
That break @ 2:14 is so pure and you could tell Kurt knew it too
what are you talking about? what`s the break?
@@kirba24 I guess Outro would be more apt of a description
What are you talking about?
@@milosilver2821 instrumental break, where its only instruments and no vocal line
His voice is so beautiful here ❤ it honestly for some reason makes me wanna cry idk why 😢
i feel the same=(
@@Samanta6976 😢❤
Same x
Feel the same.... Heard this album....this song sooo many times and i still tear up every time
I'm so happy I'm not the only one, the way he sings the verses.. I just can't explain it, it just touches my soul and makes me sad everytime..
i dont know how to express this properly but the part from 2.16 till the end gets me everytime. i feel overwhelmed. its not sadness but sometimes tears roll. nirvana helped me in my early teens when i was struggling with life. i love them.
I used to force myself to take breaks from nirvana so I could always enjoy the song :)
Especially with the end solo
Ima have to start doing that
Most underrated Nirvana song on unplugged in my opinion. Personally one of my favorites. I cant explain it. This song is so catchy, but so eerie.
A song about the destruction of the land due to highways being built, mining, etc….
the guitar solo that starts at 2:10 is very profound
Using a quarter as a pick, mind you.
@@Town101 wow. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this and never knew or noticed that before. Was that his trademark thing or something done randomly for this show?
@@LTO1222 something done randomly i'd say
that's cool af
@@Town101 dang, good catch!
0:16 that smile when the crowd started to clap for the meat puppets. Kurt looked after his friends.
honestly nirvana is the only thing keeping me at bay at this point 🧍♀️
Still so good
SAMEEE BESTIE
Lol, I never noticed that Kurt was trying to light the flowers on fire 0:11
Dave is just a baby with the turtleneck and hair tied back and clean shaven face
The guitar at 2:16 is brilliant. So simple and yet so soulful.
I thought he was gonna play heart shaped box
XD
one of the best chord progressions. radiohead has many songs with similar thats why i love them. you can see kurt drifting away during that part... he did the same during the rehearsal. it does something to you when you hear that chord progressions idk what
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2itbeautiful melancholy
Love the instrumental section at the end. a great song written by the meat puppets. Performed beautifully with Nirvana
Meat puppets were in the background playing
Yes
The impact even just this unplugged set has on people 30 years later is so amazing.
I love this moment from the unplugged.
This unplugged is a underrated masterpiece
underrated???????????????????????????????????????
A masterpiece definitely, but underrated? Not really. Even the least viewed songs have 10m+ views, as well as being referred to by the best acoustic performance ever by many.
What a legend. This is proper music, no auto tune, no horrible DJ bass boosts. This was all a masterpiece. One of my favourite bands to listen to, such a shame that he is gone.
Bruhhh listen to bladee I think you'll like his music
He was a tortured soul.
@@dayanagarcia9662 this dude would love jpegmafia fr
no need to be racist bro. legends and genres can coexist. even kurt knew that we made rock too, so simmer down.
@@RapIsReligion rahhhh what are you on about
His singing is so natural but deliberate. So good. Genuine
It feels so weird getting Nirvana notifications
ShiningStars right 😂😂
tomdunn it feels like Kurt is still alive ☠️
@@4umaya he still alive in his songs and memories:)
Ignacio Andrés true :’)
@@4umaya Sometimes I forget he isn't and that happens to all people I know that are... like... y'know... gone? (Just don't wanna sound offensive)
That voice has tripped me out for 15 years. My favorite voice in music history . I’m sure there’s a couple people who agree
I have a huge picture of him by my bed . My daughter got it for me for my birthday. The other wall has Chris Cornell and Layne Staley.. lots of others waiting to be put up
❤
Magical. The final acoustic guitars ensemble, since I listened to it (1993), always got me gooseflesh. And it's gonna keep that utterly feeling.
How delicate every musician was in this situation, they felt they were just there to help this angel and true poet shine
In this case, Curt Kirkwood would be the poet. Meat Puppets stuff is truly awesome.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Nirvana. Particularly in this unplugged show, I can hear a Beatles influence in both bands too
1:30 daaaaaaamn that "be scared" bit..... he is so good
The people who saw this live don't realize the history they witnessed
For real!
Until later on. It's funny before hand the interviews outside of fans expecting big hits haha.
I did. I was riveted.
I was a teenager when this came out get lucky to be around
Indeed
I'm a simple man. I see Nirvana,I click.
I like
One of the most used comments on youtube, well done
All this pontification about these statements...thinking is not action, and inaction and contemplation does nothing
And I'm simpler. I see Nirvana fan's comment, I click like.
Slob Six Zero cool story bro
Kurt is the perfect culmination of beauty combined with pain.
Fun fact about Kurt that people don't really bring up these days. He had a fetish for wearing womens underwear...everyday. People also like to bring up his addiction to boy, but his DOC was cough syrup.

@@MassiveFish-hp4pmthis is a meat puppets song
Thanks for this !
One of my favorite from their Unplugged show. They're all just so great, covers and originals.
I love Nirvana, me and my dad listened to his music all the time and when ever I heard a Nirvana song it reminded me of him.
I'd give anything if i could have been in tgat building listening to kurt belting out "who needs actions when you got words".
Kurt was so original never to be replaced ! Long live Nirvana !
