Funny thing is before they start playing he tells the story of how they offered Leadbelly's guitar to him for 500K and David Geffen refused to pay for it with the implication that it was a crazy amount to pay for some dead musician's guitar even if you love him and his work. And now, a couple of years ago the guitar Kurt is playing himself in this very video sold for like 6.5 million bucks in an auction.

It becomes so much more powerful once you realize it was the last song of their legendary MTV Unplugged performance and the show was recorded a little less than five months before Kurt passed. It didn't even air on MTV until months after his passing, which made this final song all the more haunting when everyone heard it for the first time.

Yeah sorry, I was there in front of my TV as soon as it premiered, watching it for the first time BEFORE his death. Like others have said, we were all blown away by it but scared by it as well. It really was a matter of all of us who loved Kurt from afar thru Nirvana's music knew how in trouble he was, and how things were crashing down, but we couldn't do anything about it. A very emotional time for my generation.

8.22 when he paused to inhale... You can see in his eyes that he came back to reality for a sec, straight from deepest, most intimate piece of his soul... Speachless... Also you need to check Ledbelly's work man, he was absolute gem!

Easily one of the greatest live performances ever

I remember reading an interview once with someone who was there that night, who said that those last few seconds were so haunting to see in person, that when Kurt opened his eyes like that at the end his stare was so piercing that it was like he’d been possessed for a moment. They recorded this whole set in a single take, which no other artist had done so far for an MTV Unplugged set, and Kurt was in the middle of withdrawal at the time and unwell. He refused to go back out for an encore, believing that he couldn’t better the performance of this song. It was Andrew Wallace Chamings who said that, found the interview. “For the final line, "I would shiver the whole night through," Cobain jumps up an octave, forcing him to strain so far he screams and cracks. He hits the word "shiver" so hard that the band stops, as if a fight broke out at a sitcom wedding. Next he howls the word "whole" and then does something very strange in the brief silence that follows, something that's hard to describe: he opens his piercingly blue eyes so suddenly it feels like someone or something else is looking out under the bleached lank fringe, with a strange clarity.”

It's a split second of his entire career but it's one of the most startling things I think I have ever seen from a performer and I've never seen anything like it before or since. It's bizarre. It's just a look, but it's timed so perfectly and his eyes are so full of **something** that no one can seem to put their finger on. I sometimes think it's terror, other times I think it's sadness, then it looks like futility, then panic... It's just so haunting. When you combine it with the legend that this was about Courtney and he decided to close the show with it on the day, without warning, your mind starts to race about the meaning of it even more.

Everybody watching this video "he's not ready for what's coming up." Jvtv "he's putting so much emotion into this performance." Everybody "you ain't seen nothing yet, it's coming you're not ready for it." Last verse pops off. Jvtv "whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on wait a minute hold on." Everybody else "yup. Called it" Btw Leadbelly was an old school blues guy from way way way back. Not an old country guy but we're talking far enough back that the differences were pretty slight. A lot of people would call him folk too but he's an old old acoustic blues guy from early to mid 1930s

Respect to Kurt for giving proper recognition to the great Leadbelly.

This whole unplugged session is music history in itself, what a great album

Look up Hudy Ledbetter. The guy who wrote the song. Dude lived an amazing life. So many folk tales, that nobody will ever know if they're totally true, or not.

Admittedly one of the most beautiful and haunting performance ever. You could tell Kurt was in pain. This gets me every time I hear it or see this clip. I can hardly believe how much time has passed since Kurt and Nirvana left us. All apologies is a great follow up to this performance. “All Apologies” is amazing, brings me to tears every time I hear it. Although Kurt is gone, I am comforted with the body of work he left us. These songs will never cease to exist and more people than not are discovering Nirvana. Thank you Jovaughn. I appreciate how much you’ve accomplished with your channel. I might not get on here all the time but I always have to check what you have reacted to first. ❤️

MTV Unplugged!!! So glad I'm old enough to have experienced that show!!! So many amazing performances during those years.

I remember watching this with a group of friends when this came out, we all sat their transfixed through the entire concert. It was after he'd died, I'll never forget that night. I love the end when he lights a cigarette and signs autographs, just a cool moment and I don't advocate smoking but it's crazy how much things have changed... I don't think they'd even let someone smoke on stage today... ?

Leadbelly was an old blues artist, first discovered in prison. Legend has it he was told when he leaves prison he'd be signed and go on tour. They also say he was one big scary dude.😅

There's just something about this cover that reaches inside your soul and let's you feel the genuine despair, regret and pain. It's like he's expecting devastated. Truly Remarkable, and absolutely heartbreaking.

This band is my teenage years in music, listened to this album so much. 20 years after first hearing it, I still get goosebumps when he goes quiet, opens his eyes and belts out the final line. The entire set is amazing, every song is spot on. Oh Me and Lake of Fire are amazing covers as well, as is The Man Who Sold the World. Just do the entire thing, you'll thank yourself. A tip for a future reaction: Death. A proto punk metal band, by three black brothers, who made an album 2 years before the Ramones did theirs. It was never released, until it was rediscovered fairly recently. Amazing music, amazing story which has a documentary called "A Band Called Death".

You said it! “This is what separates Artists.”

I love this song. I really like the little yodel he does. It's very subtle but ads a lot to the emotion of the song.

The producers asked Kurt to do an encore and he said no, I can’t sing any better than that!!! Many consider this his Best vocal ever. And to think he was gone two months later.!!😢😇✌️✌️

LEGENDARY

Leadbelly was a very early blues musician. He played this song, House of the Rising Sun, Black Betty and many other songs that were later made famous by musicians in the 60's and here in the 90's

The fact he was so gakked out on H during this performance that he could literally not function without it anymore. Makes the pain so much more real

8:22 Is single handedly the greatest breath ever taken in the history of music. I know I'm late to the party but I don't ever comment. I just watch and rewatch my favorite videos and I just couldn't stay silent about this moment. Because it's totally a moment

I always believed the pause, look and sigh was to Courtney, who was never monogamous with Kurt...
