    It's coming up on the 20 year anniversary of that unplugged concert. It was some time in November 93 IIRC

    Me too, Staley gave the performance of his life. It was voted best concert in the MTV Unplugged series recently.

    Was Always a huge fan of Nirvana,even had a ticket for the Concert that was dated 7th april 1994....wooooooooo,

    Anyway,even listening to the songs now-the effect just isn't there anymore. I'm in my mid 30s with a family. I worry about kids breaking things,not being able to pick stuff up off the floor without a groan,the car,pension plans.Worrying will the hair grow back after a haircut.

    The whole angst angle just doesn't work now,

    Sorry Kurt,you dead bastard.

    Brilliant band, I love In Utereo. Raw, angry and full of hate. Most importantly, it was real.

    As opposed to a figment of imagination?

    I guess thats the thing,we grew up Cobain(or Kerbang as he was known after) didn't. It's hard to be an angsty teen in your 30s:o

    It's kind of weird how unplugged became Kurt's and Layne's epitaphs in a way, such a sombre and eerie feel to the shows. Both men didn't play many shows after their unplugged show. Such a shame they passed away so young, great talents.

    Not even in the top 5 bands to come out of Seattle, Cobain was overhyped & barely fit to lick Grohl's shoes

    Grohl plays in a pretty decent Tom Petty tribute band these days.

    Yeah both went downhill soon after, Nirvana's Euro tour in early 94 was a disaster and AIC had to pull their support of KISS in late 96 because Staley was so fcuked up. The sad thing about Staley was that he lived on in a near hermit like existence for another 6 years before his death.

    Did anyone here see Nirvana? I wasn't even one when Nevermind came out, great band started my obsession with music a decade later.

    Yeah, have you seen the few photos that are out from around 98 or so, really sad.

    I don't mind Pearl Jam, but I feel there unplugged show missed the point a little bit.
