"a musician guy on stage, going through something, not putting on a show, he didn't care..... so raw and authentic" Damn, girl, as a guy closer to death than birth who still remembers where I was when we found out he died, you couldn't really have nailed it any better.

Thank you for feeling your emotions with this one. That moment of "shiverrrrrrrrr!" with the pause, the opening of his eyes and that last gasp before he finishes the line breaks my heart anew every time. Amazingly after this as the film continues to roll, and the band is leaving the venue Kurt stops and spontaneously signs a few autographs for a handful of fans. Something else that often gets lost in the distance of time is his humour. "My favourite artist. All of ours right? You like him the best?" A very Gen X thing. He was born a couple of months before me, and many people of our generation have similar dry/ wry senses of humour. He also gave zero fucks about pushing boundaries. He often performed on stage in a dress, or appeared in interviews in one simply because society dictated that he shouldn't. He was a fierce feminist, LGBTQIA supporter and defender. He repeatedly said "if you hate gay people, don't buy our records, and don't come to our shows. We don't want you here." Unapologetically, authentically himself. I still remember where i was, and what i was doing when i heard his body was found. One of the leading voices of my generation, and i love that people continue to discover and appreciate his music. ❤

The first time I heard this I thought something like "thank you for reality at last". But reality is harsh and hard. This song right here is the way things are.

It wasn't long before this that I was introduced to the band from my friend in Jr High. I was hooked from the minute I heard it. I remember being glued to the TV when this aired in 1993. For the guy who felt alone, he gave a lot of us teens a voice. We felt welcome, regardless of how "strange" we were. He died just 5 months later. It left a void in a lot of our hearts. As great as this show was, and still is; you should really think about checking out Alice In Chains - Unplugged. It's a masters class in not only showmanship, but music as a whole. Two beautifully tortured souls, take from us far too soon. Kurt's last gift to us was "You know you're right". The level of emotion is high.

I can only tell you that Kurt Cobain sensitivity reached my country Chile in 1991, I saw his first album, when he died I obviously felt it in my soul because I knew that he was not only a great musician, but he was also a good human being. The second and most important thing is that after seeing reactions to this song on KZbin for years, you are the only one who deserves my respect for not interrupting this great performance, my eternal gratitude and I ask you as a special favor to react to another great song on MTV Unplugged Porch by Pearl Jam, there you will also see the essence of a human being who expresses his feelings.

Then one day I may be able to take advantage of that when I'm older, and sit down in a chair, and play acoustic guitar like Johnny Cash or something you know? And it won't be thought of as a big joke, who knows?" -Kurt Cobain 1993, a couple months before this. You did and we loved it. He had plans for the future beyond Nirvana

I actually sang karaoke for the first time in my life tonight, at a small downtown cafe I visit regularly. Of course lots of questions had gone through my head beforehand- who’ll be there, how many, will I be on-key, will they have the songs I want to sing, how much of a performance am I going to give. The focus ended up being putting enough power in my voice to use the less-than-pro mic. But here, the focal point was obviously the unleashing of raw pain and emotion. Kurt delivered far more authentic intensity than you’ll ever see on any amateur night.

Thx from France for your video ! Thkx for your respect for my late Kurt. He SANG all the time 'bout his pain and his future death... He wanted "Pennyroyal tea" for himself in MTV show, not to show how he was good but for singing 🔴 "I'm on my own with everyone." "I am in VERY BAD POSTURE" "I 'm an ANEMIC royalty" Same in "Come as you are"... 🔴 "No, i swear i don't have a gun." Yes HE HAD MANY GUNS not for hunting, he loved animals or a mass murder... One day, he has become parano completly in his Seattle's home with Courtney and Frances and he locked himself in a bathroom with all his guns and rifles... Everybody cried and screamed in front of the baby and Courtney (yes she was the worst wife for Kurt and i hate her BUT she called 911 and told the truth "I am the Kurt Cobain's wife, he threated to kill himself , he is locked in bathroom with a dozen of guns" The cops came and one of them who t9ld to Kurt "come on, u're a good kid and u love your beautiful daughter and when he opened the door he has been put on the floor and ALL guns and rifles are gone with cops. Courtney saved him in Rome too in march 94, she could let him die and BINGO ! All the money for the widow but she saved and stayed with her daughter's father. It wasn't an "accident" AT ALL in Roma, he lied to Dave and Krist. I'm depressed for 56 yrs, i wanted die at 6 and school of course, send me in cuckoo's nest, in France.. U need to be depressed, REALLY depressed, my brain doesn't create endorphines , NEVER. I've done 6 sui***cide attempts, my dog is old, i'm waiting her death and.... 🔴 Kurt, i'm thinking of him EVERYDAY, he "saved" me when i've seen him in "teen spirit" , i' atheist but he was my angel, my god. I've understood immediatly he was mentally sick not dangerous except for himself. In 1994, all the world doesn't understand BUT guys, HE TALKED ABOUT DEATH IN ALL HIS SONGS "Load up YOUR GUNS and bring yours friends" "I feel stupid and contagious. Here we are now, untertain us." A DENIAL (X9) He said,in his way, the songs, he wanted "go away forever". We have been blinds... STOP SAYING HE IS MURDERED !! Kurt was a KIND SOUL, good man, simple genuine guy, he had no enemies. The ONLY error of Courtney was to send him at Exodus and cut his credit cards for localize him. For a parano, it's torture. He wanted take heroine, he has been all the time honest about that so let him take heroine , it was HIS life, HIS body and he was SMART he knew drugs are shitty but it could help sometimes...

I've seen vocal coaches go over this performance a bunch but I never heard from a stage presence coach. As far as presence goes, he was a heck of a show man but he was especially shy in person and this particular show gave him alot of anxiety. First, he thought no one would take him seriously doing a show like this. Second, the rehearsal of this show almost made the band quit, and they had to stop and start alot during the sound check early in the day. It turned out they were able to get through every song no second take on a single song (the show is prerecorded, and it's typical to reshoot a song or two). Kurt was especially happy with how the show turned out though and told the producers to make sure to include all the shots they had of him smiling whenever they broadcasted. Alex Coletti (the producer) said he barely had any but was able to put it in. The tone of the show turned out to be somber and sad regardless, definetly more so cause it came out weeks after he died. In the end, unplugged was not at all representational of his typical stage presence one bit.
