One of the handful of bands to transcend their genre and summon a near universal appeal, that Nirvana gave their finest performance in an MTV Unplugged session is telling.⁠ Stripped back, with no distortion or cacophony of sound, the grunge group's love of melody and storytelling came to the fore, in a set featuring both their own songs and choice cover versions.⁠ Recorded five months before the death of Kurt Cobain, the footage has become a scrutinized but lasting tribute to his talent. The green cardigan worn by the frontman during the recording, has just been sold at auction for $334,000.00.⁠ 📷: Frank Micelotta Archive/Getty Images | 18 November 1993 | frankmicelotta | gettyarchive #gettyarchive ⁠ ⁠ #nirvana #nirvanaunplugged #kurtcobain #FrankMicelotta #wheredidyousleeplastnight #grunge #musichistory #pennyroyaltea #thenineties #mtvunplugged #1990s #90sfashion #90sstylen #90smusic #musicnews #90srock #musicmemorabilia #musicphotographer #nostalgia #90schild #musicphotography #hist...
