## Caption

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.⁠
