One of Kurt Cobain's Finest Moments: 19 Images From Their Hallowed MTV Unplugged Set

The 1993 MTV Unplugged session became one of the most successful live albums and a lasting legacy for Nirvana, featuring 19 iconic images with detailed trivia.

  • On the 32nd anniversary, a commemorative gallery marks Nirvana 's MTV Unplugged session, pairing images with trivia from the November 18, 1993, recording at Sony Music Studios, New York City.
  • Kurt Cobain insisted the staging look somber by asking for stargazer lilies, black candles and a crystal chandelier, sharply contrasting MTV Unplugged's usual bright presentation.
  • The acoustic album became one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed live albums, and it was the band's first release following Kurt Cobain's death in April 1994.
  • The gallery spotlights artifacts such as Cobain's mohair cardigan and highlights how the record-breaking sale underscores the performance's impact on the rock and roll landscape.
  • Long after the taping, the session endures as a haunting, essential performance that famously defied network expectations and offered fans a deeply personal final farewell, defining the band's legacy.
