MTV Unplugged in New York is a live album by the American grunge band Nirvana.
It features an acoustic performance taped at Sony Music Studios in New
York City on November 18, 1993, for the television series MTV Unplugged.
The show was directed by Beth McCarthy and first aired on the cable
television network MTV
on December 16, 1993. As opposed to traditional practice on the
television series, Nirvana played a setlist composed of mainly
lesser-known material and cover versions of songs by The Vaselines,
David Bowie, Meat Puppets (during which they were joined by two members
of the group onstage), and Lead Belly.
MTV Unplugged in New York was the first Nirvana album released following the death of Kurt Cobain. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard
200, and has become the group's most successful posthumous release,
having been certified 5x platinum in the United States by 1997.[1] It also won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1996.
