Where does the time go?
Let’s take a trip back, down memory lane shall we?
The year is 1993, Kurt Cobain is on top of the world.
Hailing from Seattle, the hotbed of grunge, he and his Nirvana bandmates have taken their sound worldwide.
A little background on Unplugged.
MTV today is a shell of its former 90’s self.
Today its rare to find music videos on MTV.
They’re an afterthought now which is such a shame.
The people responsible for programming should be ashamed of themselves.
Arguably the greatest program to ever be born from MTV was the Unplugged series.
Its premise was simple.
The result was magic.
Over and over again.
The quintessential band your parents didnt want you to listen to.
Everything from their song titles, lyrics, cd covers, and press they received.
Nirvana were fuckin badasses.
Plus you have to take into account this was the 90s.
So late summer of 1993 it’s announced Nirvana will be doing Unplugged in November.
Nirvana was known for their antics for breaking shit on stage and their crowds breaking noses in mosh pits.
Nirvana shows were battles up by front of stage.
What took place was nothing short of epic.
This stood out from with other Unplugged performances, where artists mainly performed their hits and other originals.
They weren’t some flavor of the month gimmick.
These guys were musical geniuses.
This was THE cd to own in the mid-90s.
All of a sudden this incredible set had become this transcendent moment in musical history.
What we are left with was an acoustic masterpiece.
Here’s the entire thing on Youtube
