Chuck we all love and miss Kurt!! He would have been 53 years old this year. Kurt Korban February 20, 1967 - April 9, 1994. He was 4 years older than me!!
I love seeing people's reactions thats never seen this.I watched it as a 13yr old kid and was in awe of what I seen.This is one performance that will always stand the test of time....
This was my favorite song from this session. His cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" (from this same set) was another masterpiece. If you would like to venture more into the Grunge era unplugged sessions, I would really love to recommend the Alice in Chains show. In particular; Nutshell and Frogs. Layne Stayley was lightning in a bottle, and his voice was like no other.
Song was first record around 1920 by Leadbelly. Leadbelly is one of the first black musicians ever recorded. I believe was in prison at the time. Murder was a common theme in popular music then.

I loved her reaction, as honest a reaction as i've ever seen. It does send shivers down your spine. She looked so emotional, 100% spot on with the words also
Kurt was so talented and he loved the music but couldn't handle the stardom. He battled his demons for a long time and then he married his biggest demon, C Love (I can't even say her name). She was the absolute worse person for him. She didn't take care of him, she grabbed that limelight and shoveled everything from drugs, alcohol and mind games at him. She was his demise. Interesting history I found from another RUclipsr. As he says this is a cover of a Lead Belly song, originally called Black Girl, which Lead Belly changed to "My Girl" when he was asked to perform it in front of white audiences. Lead Belly's version of the song is one of many as this song goes back to about the 1800's and is a popular Appalachian Murder Ballad. A "murder ballad" comes from letters that people would write when there was a horrific crime committed (not always murder) and spread them around to either warn people or to tell the story of the victim as they were not reported. At the time they were often written about black people trying to escape slavery and being caught and lynched in Appalachia. His song "Polly" is also like an original Nirvana murder ballad, it's about the kidnapping and torture of a teenage girl near where he lived. This particular murder ballad is about a woman on the run, her husband is decapitated by a train (driving wheel is a train engine), believed to be tied down based on other versions. She has run in to the woods, in East Appalachia there are pine forests with so many tall narrow timbers that the ground around them is always cold as the sun never touches it do to the shade. She is describing hiding from the people who killed her husband in the woods where the sun never shines.
Lol I know it makes no sense but some dude’s just kinda say “fu*k off” and and Kurt was definitely one of those dudes. I’m sure he was just kidding! In my Irish family it’s used almost affectionately 😄
Yup I agree, Kurt was one of those dudes - in Ireland we almost use swear words as punctuation! My Granny used to call us all 'wee c*nts' as a child - I thought it was a term of endearment until I was older and knew what it meant! LOL!😂 She was a wile woman - funny AF!😂 Greetings to you my fellow Irish friend ☘️
I don’t think Leadbelly actually wrote it. I could be wrong but I don’t think exact authorship is known. I think the first version recorded was in 1926. Lead Belly didn’t record it until 1944. One of those songs where the lyrics have changed depending on who is singing it or the audience. I think Lead Belly is the one who changed the title to Black Girl.
This performance still gives me chills everytime I watch it. Definitely check out their other songs from this unplugged concert. Come As You Are, No Apologies, Lake Of Fire, About A Girl and Lithium
If he only waited another month etc. Maybe he's still around. If he did even kill himself. Either way it still bothers me to this day. Even he wouldn't believe how big he got snf how's hes remembered. Crazy him thinking ledbellys guitar was expensive considering what Kurt's Martin went for. I wish he was still around. I wish he state around. I think music would have been different. Dam shame
GOOD JOB again on selecting this classic artist!! Ur MAGIC while doing VIDEO REEACTIONS together U gimme such pleasure to my eyes UR such JOY to watch HONESTLY! .... CONTINUE SUCESS Ur amigo ALBERTO from MEXICO that loves Ur channel!!
at the end, when he sucks in a breath, I feel it. Every time I see this, I can't breathe for a few seconds while he screams that last note. then he breathes in deep and I feel it pulled out of me. Then he opens his eyes we see into his soul, I think. .
Yes, an old folk song. Lead Belly recorded it as Black Girl and/or In the Pines. I feel Cobain did it justice, without a doubt. I'd like to suggest, maybe sometime down the road listening to Rhiannon Giddens cover of Elizabeth Cotten's Shake Sugaree (and Cotten herself). Thanks for sharing your reactions and bringing some awareness to all this great music.
love your reaction videos, you have such a beautiful face, you can really read your emotions while you listen :) also Kurt was so talented, imagine the music he could still be making with Nirvana if he was still around...
And in the full version of the unplugged, which isnt as "dark" as the edited version and it seems that Kurt and the band have some fun during the set, there was someone wanting the song rape me ( which Nirvana and MTV had some history with) and Kurts answer was " I dont think MTV would let us play that".
👏Thank you for your sincere reaction to this masterpiece👏 This is my favourite Nirvana performance EVER! I was so pleased when 'Nirvana Unplugged' was released as an album. This is IMO the best song on there, even though it was a cover - Kurt's voice & charisma took it to a whole new level - the way he looked up at 5:41 - haunting, brings me to tears every time. (I know you saw it too). Kurt was a gentle but troubled soul who hated fame; I was deeply affected by his tragic death, but what a wonderful legacy he left us........I wish he'd got to see his daughter grow up. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain 💔 PS the song is over 100 years old - recorded under different titles including 'In The Pines' and 'Black Girl' - Leadbelly recorded it in the 1940's. I think it will always be Kurt's song now due to this performance 🖤
Great cover from an iconic band. RIP Kurt Cobain. This performance was one of their most well known and really solidified their careers. Dave Grohl looks like such a baby on the drums. Haha. Great reaction, gorgeous.
Best reaction video of this song by far 👌, Your facial expressions shown you was feeling the music as I do every time I listen to this , I’m now a subscriber!
happy valentines day Empress! Another great song from this show is 'Lake of Fire' or 'The Man Who Sold the World' which was originally a David Bowie song.
nirvana was from the 199s grung era from seattle, he had a great voice, he will always be a legend in my eyes - listen to " lake of fire" or plateau" same concert on mtv unplugged
Thank you for your reaction, Empress! This is not an original Nirvana song but it is one of their best performances imo! Don't forget to look for Walk Off The Earth doing "Somebody I Used To Know" - five people all playing one guitar at the same time!
Fun fact. This was the last live performance from Kurt before he killed himself. It makes the song...knowing that so much more powerful.....listen to the last note....you can hear his pain
Rory Gallagher was also a big Leadbelly fan, and did a wonderful version of “Out on the Western Plain” with some glorious guitar playing. Track it down. And anyone who wants to hear the Leadbelly style in modern terms should check out Snaker Dave Ray. He was a twelve string genius who hung around bars in Minneapolis, gave lessons to Bob Dylan and gave Leo Kottke and Bonnie Raitt their starts. His two solo albums are collectors items.
One of my favorite MTV Unplugged performances. Love seeing more and more people discovering and reacting to the music I grew up with. I particularly love your reactions, and that you're connecting to not just the songs, but the performers and their emotions. Would LOVE to see you react to Pearl Jam - Black from MTV Unplugged. Liked and subscribed!!! 😊
The sad thing is, this was a direct question to his wife. He knew how much of a cheater she was. Even the nanny taking care of his own baby had slept with her. Ironic that Kurt was asking Geffen to buy Leadbelly's guitar for him at $500,000. When the one he's playing sold for $6,000,000...I think he surpassed his favorite performer.
Pure insanity. Narcissistic abuse will literally drive you insane, but Love was notoriously volitile, unhinged and aggressive AF. He probably spent the first few nights home at a motel bc he was gonna break it to her, or already did, and had to get well enough to deal with her bullshit but since she lacks empathy, she didn't want to be disgraced by her skyrocketing, extremely talented and personable, soon to be ex, anyways... Tangent. I dunno, it's always possible that he thought she would ruin him or just make life eternally miserable, who knows really with his potential and daughter to live for. Either way, whether it was suicide or foul play, it's incredibly tragic.
Great song! You should do the Smashing Pumpkins ‘Disarm’ next. They were from the same era as Nirvana and just as good. Loved Alt Rock from the ‘90’s. ‘Tonight Tonight’ by the Smashing Pumpkins is a great song and video too. Very unique!
I heard the price of the tickets to this show was around $20. The memories and feeling in seeing the whole masterpiece would be with you forever. If people could relive this performance I'd hate to know how much they would be willing to spend. Yes I know it's not about the $$ but everytime I see someone react I always think about it
Nirvana was always like that. That’s why everyone liked him because he was different. He spoke what he felt and didn’t care if somebody didn’t like it and everyone knew it. Personally I didn’t really care about his music because it was to far up there and I believe that’s when all that type of music started falling apart.
interesting little fact is demonstrated in this video. If you watch Kurt signing those autographs you can see he was actually right-handed. No-one (including him) ever really understood why he played guitar left -handed but he always did, right from the moment he first ever picked one up as a child.
This is not a Nirvana song.It is a Kurt Corbain song.Smell like teen spirit is a Nirvana song.This was recorded about two weeks before he killed himself.
The guy representing the Leadbelly Estate wanted to sell Leadbelly's guitar to Kurt for $500,000. Kurt's guitar used in the Unplugged in New York performance was sold at an auction for $6 million dollars
This was Kurt saying goodbye to the world, to his fans... His last song before committing suicide. 😢 He showed how much Pain and anguish he had. The thing is, he told everyone what he was doing through his lyrics but no one realized it, they just thought it was an amazing cover. R.I.P
I still have my Nirvana ticket dated 2 weeks after his death....I miss him...
I miss him too. I’m jealous you got to see them.

❤ I just saw this and and literally said “ She fuckin saw it.” When he took that breathe and you can just see his pain.” It hit so hard.

💛 Nirvana 🖤 RIP Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
I knew you'd like it, Cobain's voice was so raw, so raspy, the complete opposite of someone like Pavarotti, but able to convey emotion just as well.
Song was first record around 1920 by Leadbelly. Leadbelly is one of the first black musicians ever recorded. I believe was in prison at the time. Murder was a common theme in popular music then.
Yes sir
when you really like someone or really close friends....saying the F word in a joking manner is a term of endearment :)
Wow. Forgot how powerful this is. Would love to see you do more Nirvana :)

Heartbreaking. He was a hero to me. Hearing this after long while actually made me cry.
Kurt was so talented and he loved the music but couldn't handle the stardom. He battled his demons for a long time and then he married his biggest demon, C Love (I can't even say her name). She was the absolute worse person for him. She didn't take care of him, she grabbed that limelight and shoveled everything from drugs, alcohol and mind games at him. She was his demise.

Fuck that! He was murdered by that bitch Courtney Love!
That's last final scream and gasp gets me every single damn time... Haunting

Working with ex dockers in the city in the late 80s early 90s, every other word was fack...
Coburn was his ancestral last name. He had ancestry from Germany and Irish descent. I could see both with him. Also Scottish and English
He definitely was kidding
I was watching this MTV Unplugged live, never forgot this masterpiece
This is a cover of Leadbelly's "Black Girl". One of the first rock n roll songs ever recorded.
I don’t think Leadbelly actually wrote it. I could be wrong but I don’t think exact authorship is known. I think the first version recorded was in 1926. Lead Belly didn’t record it until 1944.

@@cobrakaiX Hey, thanks! I'd like to hear the '26 version!!
@Donovan Stone the song has had 5 different titles. One of them was Black Girl.
Funny thing.... Kurt's guitar he used on this set just sold for.... 6 million dollars.
This performance still gives me chills everytime I watch it. Definitely check out their other songs from this unplugged concert. Come As You Are, No Apologies, Lake Of Fire, About A Girl and Lithium

i think you would like drain you from the nevermind album. very beautiful love song
I love nirvana !!! Thanks !!!😊
Good reaction I see you feel the powerful emotions he displayed. Wish he was still here...
Although Kurt is left handed, he signs the autographs with his right hand. An ambidextrous man.

He was joking cause they played a long set list and the audience wanted to hear their album songs and not covers.
