On November 18, 1993, there were these venerable "Unplugged" -Auftritt the band Nirvana at the Sony Studios in New York. The show starts with a warm applause, responded to the Cobain with a formal "Good evening". The first song "About a Girl" he announces as follows: "This is our first panel who have not most people." Was the song in the called "Bleach" CD still the only song that revealed the pop side of the band, this version the top form of the Pops because that so also of the Beatles could have come. In relation to the shortly after the shooting following suicide of the singer, the text line must produce goose bumps on every Nirvana fan, "I swear to you I do not have a gun" in the following song "Come as you are". The site offers many cover versions, including the following songs "Jesus Does not Want Me for a Sunbeam" by the Scottish band The Vaselines, which was very venerated by Cobain and a bit surprising, "The man who sold the world" by David Bowie. The former deals with a mellow, bitter person who has given up on a place in heaven after death the hope; The latter seems more cynical by the text line "I never lost control". If you're looking for an off-hook song for "Unplugged" series, then I would suggest "Pennyroyal Tea", as the punky elemental force that has been just taken "in utero" recording in an acoustic version urgewaltig here. Absolutely strong! Very close to those album versions offer then the song "Dumb," "Polly" and "Something in the Way", but this is not so bad. Abandoning doubled vocals and an alienated guitar makes "On a Plain" a beautiful pop song. For the next three pieces "plateau", "Oh Me" and "Lake of Fire" the band support obsolete by the band Meat Puppets, who are also the original artists of the songs. The more Country anghauchte band did not keep track of his secrets addition, unfortunately, which is a great shame in the face of the present sardonic lyrics. After the song "All Apologies" completed a new cover the set, namely the folk number "Where did you sleep last night" by Leadbelly. A very poignant "Unplugged" -Auftritt.
