The last Nirvana album made while Kurt was still alive, the MTV Unplugged session, is legendary for how good the performance was. No retakes. In. Out. Done. And that was with Kurt on Xanax to help him deal with his heroin jones.

The album came out on November 1, 1993. Now, 24 years later, some unedited portions of that performance have appeared on Nirvana’s YouTube channel. This includes a couple of clips from the rehearsals.

And is it just me or is the sound a little better than what we got on the CD?
