My funny Nirvana story: I grew up in Cannon Falls, Minnesota...home of Pachyderm Studios, where Nirvana recorded their 'In Utero' album. I was in high school, and worked at the local pizza shop. We got an order to be delivered to Pachyderm, and when I got to the studio, all the guys stopped recording and came over. They seemed kind of surprised that I didn't know who they were (they introduced themselves, and their band name). I was into rap and hip-hop. When I got back to the pizza shop, everyone asked me who was out at the studio...I said "I don't know...some band called Nirvana or something".... everyone freaked out, and went on about how unfair it was that the only guy who didn't know them was the one who got to take the delivery...😂

I told a girl who worked a few desks up from mine about what had just happened. Since we had both talked about him recently, she thought I was kidding. I wish I had been.

Well, he and Nirvana is the defining act which was Grunge music so in a way every band who fell into the grunge category was in fact mimicking Kurt's style. But he himself got loads of inspiration from people like Bowie and The Pixies. I'm very thankful for The PIxies for that reason, they're a totally underrated band way ahead of their time back in the eighties and many people have no idea how important they were to Nirvana's sound. You possibly (probably?) already know them and this song, but if not give this Pixies track from 1988 a try, if you haven't heard of them I guarantee you won't regret it and to be honest, you'll probably recognise the song even if you haven't heard of them kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zm16pJuhmNK1ZsY.html

That moment where Kurt opens his eyes briefly at the end.... still hits the feels every single time!! Such a talented and solid musician/song writer lost too soon! :(

6:17 is a moment where he saw his own demons. Such a great performance.

One of if not my favorite song. Really interesting history. As he says this is a cover of a Lead Belly song, originally called Black Girl, which Lead Belly changed to "My Girl" when he was asked to perform it in front of white audiences. Lead Belly's version of the song is one of many as this song goes back to about the 1800's and is a popular Appalachian Murder Ballad. A "murder ballad" comes from letters that people would write when there was a horrific crime committed (not always murder) and spread them around to either warn people or to tell the story of the victim as they were not reported. At the time they were often written about black people trying to escape slavery and being caught and lynched in Appalachia. "Polly" is also like an original Nirvana murder ballad, it's about the kidnapping and torture of a teenage girl near where he lived. This particular murder ballad is about a woman on the run, her husband is decapitated by a train (driving wheel is a train engine), believed to be tied down based on other versions. She has run in to the woods; In East Appalachia there are pine forests with so many tall narrow timbers that the ground around them is always cold as the sun never touches it due to the shade. She is describing hiding from the people who killed her husband in the woods where the sun never shines.

That eye pop and breath at the end get me every time I see this video.

This video is from their legendary "Unplugged In New York" session, where half the setlist is covers of other songs. If you want to go down the Nirvana rabbit hole, start with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and then use Wikipedia to track the singles by release date; that way you experience them as we did. Now the albums are great overall ( _Bleach_ tends to have love/hate relationship with the fans) but use the single list as your base guide and then pick and choose as you will. I'll throw my personal recommendation for "tourette's" because most people skip over that one because it's kind of a nonsense song but...it fucking slaps (as the kids say these days). I will say this though: "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is probably the best song to end your Nirvana tour because...well, Jesus, listen to it. Kurt himself said he couldn't do an encore because he couldn't top that song.

One of the biggest Grunge bands ever, brought a different kind of sound to the crowd.

Ironically their most popular track, 'smells like teen spirit', was the track that seemed a bit different on Nevermind

The whole "in utero" album is amazing. So is "nevermind". Bleach is incredible too. Cant go wrong really. lol I've loved Kurt's voice from the first time I heard it. Some of my favs are you know your right, rape me, heart shaped box, lithium, in bloom. Try those. Watch the whole unplugged show & the live & loud show are incredible as well.

His voice was GOLD, the distorted or vibrated sound came from his lung.. this technique is very difficult.. Shame he's gone forever but his legacy will still remain forever RIP Kurdt

I loved the look of surprise and excitement on your face, as you listened to the song. Also, I wanted to say that you have a very nice smile!🙂

I think that was a perfect place to start wi Nirvana. I oddly well up w tears at his final screeching verse. It’s so emotionally raw and overwhelming. I love great live performances most. This one is stellar.

Pixies often sighted as their inspiration to their sound, the quiet, quiet, loud. That in a nutshell is nirvana, they go from barely an audible whisper to all out sonic assault and back again and never break stride. The ferocity of the percussion, driving bass lines, crushing guitar and a singer with a voice so fragile it was always at breaking point, these might not come across in this song, but the are there, the foundations of the genre, the genre they created not by design, but by how they existed. It still breaks my heart that he wanted so much to be a pop star and when became it, it was all too much. Nirvana was the band that had a&r people scuttling all over the Pacific north west looking for more of the same, what they didn’t know was the fact it became an out of control freight train smashing through walls and social statuses, everybody trying to hitch their wagon to it without realising no one was at the controls and it was heading for a horrific stop. The bands from the grunge era continue to this day, but nirvana remain the benchmark, that in 3 studio albums they are still one to be measured by. I’m was born the same year as Kurt, it still pains me to think of him gone, but what a difference his short on the earth made. 3 decades later watching the delight in the eyes of youth of today as they discover what is now music of a bygone era 😢

That wide-eyed reaction happens everytime, and my heart hurts every time at that same time. He was a champion for my demographic and a hero to me personally. I miss This man.

When we knew this time Kurt was gone & not coming back due to Kurt’s pause, eyes closed, deep breath out, eyes opened, goodbye....🥺 Every Nirvana fan had this discussion the next day at school, some us were even crying....😥 Queen’s “These Are the Days of Our Lives” & Nirvana’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” from MTV’s Unplugged, are the first two times I have seen someone saying bye forever....👋

I love this song it really showed Kurt Corban's Vocal Range. I first heard their version of this song my first year in the Marines and I was just amazed. Partly because it was Nirvana singing a old Blues song and Secondly because this is the very song my mom and Uncle would sing together with a friend playing the guitar whenever all three of them got together and got drunk lol. Over the years I have grown to appreciate it even more for both reasons. It brings back many found memories and the song is so very powerfully done. I enjoyed your reaction hun

This is a pretty good starter song, as it eases you into the tone of the band easily. But it's important to know that the END of this song is what the real sound of the band usually is.

That final scream is actual pain! Not a gimmick. Wah tears me up..And then gazes at the camera..Chills. wah. Glad u finally listened

Best unplugged outta them all. Kurt just has that godlike, or charisma that just can't take your eyes off em..

Wow, this is a strong 1st song choice for Nirvana. It's not one of their original hits but a cover. The end is so powerful.

thats GRUNGE rock in the 90's - kurt was amazing, tons of songs where he goes from mellow to a scream lol

Oh god, the breath and the eye's right before the last line always gets me!!!

I saw Nirvana live in concert, in 1993. Best concert of my life!

Lead Belly, made many songs like this, that others used, like Nirvana.

I remember being 13 years old and watching this....not knowing this song but I remember being mesmerized. All the more haunting when you consider Kurt does not long after this performance, right?

Like Krist said "This is for you Kurt.." every time someone discovers the music of nirvana. Love

The 3 unpluggeds, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam, 3 albuns that should really be World Heritage

For me, Cobain and Staley were the voices of grunge - and grunge died with them. A very important era in rock music.

There are many great Nirvana songs/performances, but IMO nothing tops this. The last 30 seconds or so is still the most intense musical experience to me.

Huge fan of Nirvana.. found your video and I love it. Everything Nirvana is amazing, hope you've gotten a chance to dive further! Subbed ♡

This concert is so epic! I really miss those jam shows like Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains they did on MTV (when it was still actually “music television”). RIP Kurt!

These 'Unplugged' songs are, for me, their finest moment. Also 'Plateau' and 'Lake of Fire' from this show are timelessly good.

Bout time. His emotions show Soo strongly on this intimate performance! Chills and tears for day. RIP Kurt

*I think you may be a Grunger at heart! Welcome to the family❤*

Some of my favorites are Lithium, In Bloom, Aneurysm, About A Girl, and Dumb and of course the well known Smells Like Teen Spirit. But you can easily work through their 3 studio albums. Also check out the rest of this MTV Unplugged gig - they did some great covers on there.

As someone who lived and loved them in the early 90's I'll tell you why none of the "unplugged" songs are good choices for first reactions (the unplugged is legendary and they have very, very good versions of their songs and awesome covers like this one or "the man who sold the world") but they are nowhere near the identity of Nirvana. To me, heart shape box and In bloom are the best way to experience Nirvana as they wanted to express themselves. David Grohl said in interviews that In Bloom is Kurt's favorite song and In bloom is a mockery song toward their new "fans" who only wear their t-shirts and listen to their songs because they we're popular but never tried to understand what they really want to express with their music. Smells like teen spirit is their biggest song but it's one that Kurt hated himself and Chris Novoselic wasn't very fond of either. The song name has an interesting story, Kurt was dating a girl at the time and she wrote on the walls of his house "Kurt smells like teen spirit" which was a perfume back in the days. I was 10 years old in 1994 when this aired on MTV, was 4AM in the morning and it was the first live concert I ever saw. Needless to say that I'm past my grunge days but this unplugged will forever be embeded as something very special in my heart and mind.

Nirvana were the greatest rock band ever.

That's what makes Kurt so special and real. He isn't the greatest technically. But pours his emotions into everything. Which is better in my opinion

Nirvana is one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. During their three years as a mainstream act.

It was the same way I started with nirvana just recently me and my friend made a reaction video to it as well and it's a great vocal performance by Kurt! Good reaction!

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but this was the second to last live performance of Nirvana. They went to Italy, I believe, and played their last show a little bit after.

I'll never forget watching him and so many other genres on the box channel 5 in Alaska as a teenager when I was supposed to be sleeping lol

Definitely the best nirvana song ever! Good choice for your first nirvana song!

It’s a truely great performance yes 😌 it’s not a ‘Nirvana’ song though. It’s a Lead Belly cover.

Man Who Sold the World from that MTV unplugged set is a great cover of a David Howie song. My band used to play it at open mic nights when we were first starting off. Penny Royale Tea is a great one too.

@5:23 Thank you for this review. The performance shows Kurt's appreciation of music and his uncanny ability to invoke Leadbelly's spirit. No distortion and no power chords here. Tell me you don't feel something when you hear it.

proves, like 3 guitars and bass, drums and vocals provides so much depth to music its crazy!! s'why iron maiden sound is so unique and many great rock and metal live bands sound awesome with at least 2 guitarists.

you know you're right, something in the way, all apologies, lake of fire, come as you are. these are really good nirvana songs

When I was 16 ( I'm 35 now) we had the VHS of Nirvana unplugged in NY and we played it on repeat every single night while trippin on CCC and we sang it at the top of our lungs. Them are some of the most crazy beautiful memories I have as a teen.

GOOD JOB again on selecting this classic artist!! Ur MAGIC while doing VIDEO REEACTIONS together U gimme such pleasure to my eyes UR such JOY to watch HONESTLY! .... CONTINUE SUCESS Ur amigo ALBERTO from MEXICO that loves Ur channel!!

That unplugged session is to me Nirvana's legacy, the whole thing is awesome

i love your reactions shiloh:) i gotta say great choice to start with this one is so haunting and dope, your channel is gonna blow up girl! keep being great and doing great vids! :):D

Girl there is no bad choice when it comes to Kurt ❣️ Perfect song choice!

Great reaction the look on your face when they got into the final course was priceless his voice is known throughout the world for grunge Rock

Wen I was a teen Nirvana was my life and wen Kurt died of suicide put a hole in my heart... A beautiful man, with so much talent,money etc, however, he was fighting his demons. This song relates to him and he has connected to it coz of his relationship which was fked up! ... Rip Kurt, I love you brother xxx

He was a big part of starting the hype of the grunge genre. One of the greatest vocalists you will ever hear. And truly one of the kindest humans we ever had

It’s a great song, but Nirvana has a ton of great songs. “Polly” “Lake of Fire” (cover of a Meat Puppets song) “Lithium” The most popular song by them is “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, and I seriously doubt you’ve never heard that. I’m sure you probably have heard it at one time or another.

That this was like 27 or 28 years ago just blows me away.

It's not a Nirvana song: it's a traditional- "In the Pines"- first time recorded by Leadbelly in 1939. If you want to understand Nirvana you have to go elsewhere...

Not really, they covered this and made it their own. Unplugged is one of the best places to start tbh.

why did nirvana steal songs?

Nirvana's lead singer coach her band will always be a legend in the guns rock and roll business

I was in 7th grade when this album came out. It changed me forever. This song, the chills, changed me forever.

I was 3 years old when Smells like teen spirit came out in 91' since then im hooked. Im 33 now and still listen to Nirvana 🤘🎸🤘

Unplugged was probably the best thing that came from MTV. Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Alice in chains and Nirvana were all amazing.

No new singer today will give you his entire voice right to its breaking point. Kurt your a god.

One of those epic bands that came along and forged their own path, creating a fork in the road of "rock." Some followed, some didn't, nevertheless they made proper waves in the pond.

According to his biographer, Kurt liked to think of himself as punk, but he was known to listen to old pop music too. If you want to see Nirvana having fun with their band image, the video for "In Bloom" is a must.

Damn, this is your first Nirvana experience? You are in for a treat.

I seek out reaction videos of this song just to see people's reaction once the vocals shift. You did not disappoint.

Kurts musicality was always underestimated. Until this show.

Yeah, he really showed the critics that he's an incredible musician and his band wasn't always just about punk rock

Kurt always breaks my heat, he was so special. God bless you Kurt x

I love that you started your Nirvana journey with this dramatic ass cover from like the 30's or something lol. Aneurysm is another great track from them. ☝❤

Fantastic cover they did. I grew up with Nirvana and many other great bands. Nirvana has lots of great songs. Lyrical content is fantastic.
