Notes :
MTV Unplugged in New York is a live album by American rock band Nirvana, released on November 1, 1994 by DGC Records. The album features an acoustic performance recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York City on November 18, 1993, for the television series MTV Unplugged. The show was directed by Beth McCarthy and aired on the cable television network MTV on December 16, 1993. In a break with MTV Unplugged convention, Nirvana played mainly lesser-known material and covers of songs by the Vaselines, David Bowie, Lead Belly, and Meat Puppets. Meat Puppets members Cris and Curt Kirkwood joined Nirvana for three songs. For the performance, frontman Kurt Cobain suggested that the stage be decorated with stargazer lilies, black candles, and a crystal chandelier—reminiscent of a funeral. Nirvana was joined by guitarist Pat Smear and cellist Lori Goldston. Despite the show's acoustic reputation, Cobain insisted on running his acoustic guitar through his amplifier and effects pedals. The show's producer Alex Coletti built a fake box in front of the amplifier to disguise it as a monitor wedge. Though many artists who appeared on the show did not, Nirvana filmed the entire performance in a single take, which was a 14-song setlist: one song from the band's debut album Bleach, four songs from their second album Nevermind, three tracks from the recently released In Utero, and six cover songs. In Utero's "All Apologies" had not yet been released as a single, which means the only commercial hit the band performed was Nevermind's "Come as You Are". Originally intended to be part of a double album with a live compilation titled Verse Chorus Verse, MTV Unplugged in New York was ultimately released on its own, becoming the band's first album since the death of Kurt Cobain in April 1994. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, and is Nirvana's most successful posthumous release, having been certified 8× platinum by the RIAA in 2020. It won the Best Alternative Music Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards—the band's only Grammy Award win—and has since been ranked one of the greatest albums of all time. The performance was released on DVD in 2007.
