Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live On MTV Unplugged Unedited)

(crowd chattering) (acoustic guitar music) - Fuck you all. This is the last song of the evening. (crowd laughing) - What is it? - This was written by-- - What? - My favorite performer. Our favorite performer, isn't it? All of ours? We like him the best. - Oh, and there's a donation basket. Kurt wants to buy Lead Belly's guitar. - Oh yeah, this guy representing the Lead Belly estate wants to sell me Lead Belly's guitar for $500,000. - We're passing a basket around. - Yeah. I even asked David Geffen personally if he'd buy it for me. He wouldn't do it.

This whole set still brings chills to me after 20+ years. Probably the best acoustic set that was on Unplugged, and possibly the best set I have ever personality seen.

ETA: To everyone suggesting AIC, thank you. I will definitely have to check it out this week.

I've heard every Nirvana song by accident. My friend and I traded ps2 and Xbox. The only music he loaded was Nirvana's discography. I played so many hours of Tiger Woods on Xbox with Nirvana playing. It takes a long time to max out your golfer's stats. I can't listen to Kurt Cobain without thinking of a golf ball.

I've never seen anything more 90's than Kurt Cobain drinking out of that cup.

Now go check out the man they were paying tribute to. Lead Belly’s influence on generations of musicians is greatly under appreciated, if not entirely unrealized, by many.

Anyone else record this from MTV to cassette because they couldn't wait for the official album?

And he was right. I don’t think there was a song that could follow that. Though technically not the last song they recorded (You Know You’re Right was recorded in January of 1994) or the last time they were on TV, they were on an Italian TV show in February of 1994 shortly before they cancelled their european tour while in Rome. This was the last time the American public as a whole got to see Cobian perform (It aired in December of 1993). It is amazing his final song was one that was so subdued yet so passionate. I’ve listened to this album countless times and many of my favorite “Nirvana” songs are covers from this performance. The last 5 songs which consist of 3 Meat Puppets covers (Plateau , Oh Me, and Lake of Fire), 1 original (All Apologies) , and “Where Did you Sleep Last Night” might be one of the best 5 song runs on any non greatest hits album. Kurt does so much with these songs while making them appear simple.

Grunge didn't last too long but it's amazing how something came in so fierce and powerful that myriad of musical genres ceased to evolve and pulled over for bands like Nirvana, PearlJ, Soundgarden,etc to pass through.

Here’s another version of this song that Kurt and Kris recorded with Mark Lanegan back in 1990 that’s loud and amazing: https://youtu.be/qokL_adZC5M
