Undeniably classic.
My favorite moment: when Cobain looks up in between the words "the whole" and "night through" at the end of the last chorus. Holy shit. If you don't remember what I'm talking about (or even if you do), I recommend re-watching:

More classic: When I set the video in my absence, that look was where the timer shut the late-running TV prog off!

i would be the worst divorce court judge because if i saw anyone trying to claim their partner's father's guitar as part of a settlement, let alone kurt cobain's daughter, i would be like "you have brought shame upon your own family - you will receive nothing"

I think that's a perfectly legit principle. When I die, I will fucking HAUNT anyone who tries to deny my daughters my guitar collection.

what an asshole that dude is. imagine how shitty you have to be to insist on keeping something that belonged to your partner's dead father in a divorce settlement.

clarence thomas, speaking for the third time in 25 years: "and so i do declare that no one, yea i say no one at all under any circumstance, shall receive the guitar of their partner's deceased parent"

Fun trivia: the whole comedy group The State is standing in the dark area stage left at Nirvana Unplugged.

Good record, probably woudn't have been so memorable had he continued living. To me, hearing his tunes in this setting showed the limitations of his songwriting. Guy wasn't exactly a fountain of melody, I mean, "Dumb"? The covers sound more complete. I still like it though.

still the weirdest statement to me, like..."Dumb" sounded essentially the same as it did on disc (other than the original is played on clean electric, but practically sounds unplugged), and Nevermind was full of earwormy hooks, but he didn't want to do things like "In Bloom", or "Smells" live.

Recorded 30 years ago today.

Kinda wild this got cut out of the televised performance, Cris & Curt tag in while Pat tags out, Kurt singing sans instrument while Krist plays more-than-serviceable rhythm guitar.
