[@Cryptic-1-9-1-1]

Been listening to this album for almost 30 years and this song still makes the hair on my neck stand up every time

[@coachstubudgell1242]

My teenage sons turned me on to "unplugged" when it first came out. I played it to death. Even in my 70s it still gets played. Great sing along album on long drives.......

NIRVANA THE ULTIMATE BAND ❤. Thank you so much to check on them : sharing your outstanding skills, knowlege and work. What a great master class, do not change, your Channel is from far the best on KZbin. I'm a straight woman but I can assure you're cute with a so positive personnalité I love Nirvana too for 25 years.

[@Nayz13]

Same, even my mother loves it.. which is strange 😂

[@Stockhandle123]

I’ve listen to a few of these vocal coaches react to this, and they always get it wrong. Kurt is not doing this the right way he’s lighting his throat on fire during the last part of the last song of the set. I wish they would just say that.

[@archaeobard1]

Me too.

[@CJMadsen79]

30 years on, this song STILL gives me chills. That moment when he pauses and opens his eyes is HAUNTING

Oh wow, I didn't see your comment before I typed mine! All I can say is, literally, my thoughts exactly! 😂

Best moment in music ever! Still gives me chills 😮

[@tonygunk9810]

he knows its all almost over when he made that face.....

[@MutedGrowl]

This was the last song of the night. MTV wanted them to come out for an encore, Kurt told them “I cant top that” and refused.

[@Wolfsblood1138]

Thank you SO much for comparing the Leadbelly version. You're the only reactor who I've seen so that. It really gives a sense of the song. That final scream, pause, and breath kills me every time. The pain, and the passion he poured into every song, and every performance was so clear on his face. This whole concert was a masterpiece, and it pissed MTV, and the execs off because they played almost none of their biggest hits, and did 3 covers of little known artists.

[@Phylonyous]

Ditto!

[@erinhutchins3008]

I love the origional also. I just also love ledbelly. And what a fascinating story he had as well. Both genius song writers. RIP Kurt. I wore a black cloth tied around my wrist for like 3 years mourning his death. Real talk. I was 13 when he died and it DEVESTATED me.

[@dropbarracuda]

I'd forgotten about that one look of Kurt's at the end. The way you kindly & respectfully touched on it got the tears out. Wonderful reaction, thank you *SO* much for covering this one. ❤

[@repluggedx3265]

Eyes of a dead man…

[@captgeech]

that look has haunted me since i first saw this when i was a kid. there's books written about the band and the story of this performance and how nervous Kurt was so it almost comes across as a bit of relief...but also determination, sadness, fear maybe? Would be so interested to know what was actually going on in his head at that moment.

[@jamesnewman9547]

I just got here, haven't watched the react yet, but I knew the exact moment from the thumbnail. 😢 RIP

[@joeybossolo7]

You can see the pain in his soul at that precise moment. Haunting.

[@azikkii]

@@captgeech Go watch Montage of Heck, it's a masterpiece. Kurt was an extremely sensitive person and wanted everybody to love him and his music especially. When he thought someone didn't love him it spiraled him into sadness and depression. Every time he acted like he didn't care and said "F You" it was a deflection of how he really felt because deep down he did care what people thought of him too much. He just wanted somebody to love him his entire life and I don't think he ever truly felt intense true love. So that look at the end, in my eyes, is that he had hoped that everybody had loved the song as much as he did because it really was a gamble to play this type of song in this setting. The applause seemed to have ease him very quickly once he saw the reaction.

[@jakes3059]

Their Unplugged album showed us how much more Nirvana we would be in store for. To miss out on that was a tragedy second only to his death itself.

[@petemartyn]

Oh gosh, joining the others who have commented with admiration and appreciation for catching that look on Kurt's face just before he delivers the last few words of the song. It's an absolutely haunting moment, especially in reflection. Kurt apparently wanted lilies and black draping fabric for the set, saying he wanted it "like a funeral." To me the look in his eyes is that of a man who has attended his own funeral and is realizing that the ceremony is coming to a close -- or like someone seeing his own ghost. RIP Kurt.

[@BeardGuy-vz8tn]

I've said this a thousand times, and no one can ever change my mind. Kurt saw something. 100%. He saw something, as he took that breath, like some sort of "out of body" experience. Right before he belted out the last few words. That's why he's got that look on his face. (I believe) he saw his death, and saw who was going to do it, or at the very least, saw how brutal it was. Unfortunately, all we can do is speculate about what really happened, and have our own individual theories.

[@ThePizzablogger]

This is the tits! Second time now where you have given my favorite reaction to a song hundreds of people have reviewed. Being able to not only comment on how various aspects of vocal production are created....but then also being able to illustrate it by singing it yourself....is a real gift you are able to share in an unpretentious manner. Thanks also for the Leadbelly listen and comparison. Really good stuff! ❤

[@seaniam81]

I remember watching this on TV when it first aired. I loved how Nirvana's Unplugged was mostly covers. My favorite is the man who sold the world.

[@datadivanet]

It takes a lot to top Bowie, but he did.

[@Tim31NJ]

It's so cool you brought up the drums. Story goes something like, Kurt was pissed off about how loud Dave was playing and he contemplated doing the set without any drums. In the end, someone went to a local music store and bought brushes, sizzle sticks etc. which Dave hadn't played with but a bunch of the set wasn't played with regular sticks. Dave Grohl has said that they were expecting a bad show because they were all having trouble stripping down to the gentle acoustics with the little rehersal they did. There's tons of wild stories about these unplugged shows, but they all became iconicn There's some

[@MrRudyc85]

Kurt was also sick that day

[@rome8180]

I've watched dozens of reactions to this song. Somehow you're the first person to comment on his expression at the end. It always mystified me how all these reactors could watch the video and not notice it. It's such a haunting/haunted look.

It feels like he said "good bye" in the moment he opened his eyes. That deep breath and that "something" in his eyes. RIP Kurt!

[@rhov-anion]

I remember my mom complaining about Nirvana, "He keeps his eyes closed all the time." I replied, "Because when he opens his eyes, you see into his soul, and no one should see a soul that tortured." The end of this song is precisely what I meant by that. RIP Kurt.

[@scottrbloom]

I'm just discovering your channel here, and going back and watching some of the analysis videos you've done, especially of performances I like and admire. I'm very, very impressed not just with your knowledge but with your ability to teach what you're hearing. The fact that you can do most of these techniques yourself is also amazing. You can point out a technique and demonstrate exactly what it does. I just wanted to say thank you for being such a good teacher. There are songs for which I'd love to hear your analysis and opinion. I'll be sure to point them out as I think of them. I'm a fan.

[@shanesmith6124]

I’m always astonished by how you quickly and clearly explain technique. It’s a delight to learn so much more about songs I’ve liked or discover new songs along with you.

[@ryansmallwood1178]

[@robertpetre9378]

Lead Belly really had a very unique singing voice, hence the name, and I feel that Kurt Cobain did him justice with his cover

Still crazy how these artists went through a time of performing and singing music that broke all the rules but could penetrate your soul. Lovely reaction, Lolli.

[@bighouse1695]

The grunge bands had the most iconic and legendary Unplugged performances. Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam were the best three by far. I have loved this performance of this song since it was performed. Such a great reaction Lolli!

[@jasonlaviolette2964]

Yeah, that's definitely my trilogy, but its probably more accurate to say Big Four and throw Soundgarden in there as well. Mother Love Bone deserves a note in there too, but after Andrew Wood's death, we got half of Pearl Jam out of that tradegy. When it comes to the Unplugged performances, you're absolutely correct. Those are the best three by far, with STP probably sneaking up right behind them.

[@MutedGrowl]

It’s funny how many people thought grunge was kind of a joke, but it’s definitely aged the best out of all the other bands from 90s.

[@grimmliberty7447]

It's always nice to see your progress over the years my dear. From an almost empty room and walls, to this glorious day! You are still my favorite reactor. I really miss Nirvana.

[@johnjohn37371]

Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains...they all started in the very late eighties...Pearl Jam was a little behind because most were members of another band Mother Love Bone, and their lead singer Andy Wood was one of the early casualties of heroin. He was beloved. The song Would? by AIC is in his honor...as are Reach Down and Say Hello 2 Heaven, both written by Chris Cornell. Another is Far Behind, by Candlebox. I highly recommend you listen to MLB, Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns...it's a beautiful thing....

[@westtxmutt]

Chloe Dance/ crown of thorns absolutely 💯

[@seelenwinter6662]

nirvana is the most overrated band after the beatles... nirvana is only famous because of the suicide from kurt and not for their music... tell me only 1 good song from them... the other grunge bigs have all a lot of them...

[@johnjohn37371]

@@seelenwinter6662 I can only assume you are either trolling or are too young to know better. Nirvana was the single biggest band in the world for nearly three years, and when I say it wasn't close, I mean, check the actual album sales, billboard, Rolling Stone mag. They have several really strong hits, the obvious one being Smells Like Teen Spirit, but In Bloom, Heart Shaped Box, Polly, and my fave Rape Me....and look, you don't have to like The Beatles, but their contribution to nearly every single musician that came after them is undeniable...all those great songs that your other favorite grunge bands released would not exist without The Beatles having come first. Period.

[@beachamj]

@@seelenwinter6662 I think you will get hate for your comment, but I somewhat agree, I think you might have worded your comment wrong though. I reckon Nirvana are good, some people might even say great. But in my opinion when it comes to the Seattle scene, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone temple Pilots, Soundgarden ETC are far superior, not to say Nirvana was shit, but you definitely jump to the front of the line when you put a shotgun to yourself. (before anyone now comes at me, we are all allowed opinions, have some water and shh)

Side note though, credit where credit is due, this performance is fucking excellent

[@JacubWhite38]

You can't forget to cover Soundgarden as well. Chris Cornell had one of the craziest voices in grunge, in my opinion.

[@angelicupstart23]

Soundgarden is nothing but a hair metal band that road in on grunge’s coattails.

[@Crytica.]

That Cello is such a masterfully picked instrument for this performance. What a dominant dark undertone it gives. It makes this song all the more dark and dramatic.

[@ryanclark6402]

Definitely necessary for a lot of these acoustic performances where they don’t have the sustain of the distorted electric guitar. A better example is Chris Cornell’s studio performance (can’t remember the radio station) of Nothing Compares 2 U.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

What an amazing discovery for me of Leadbelly! I'm astounded! I do recall Kurt mentioned the origin of the song! But its impact is such that I couldn't imagine anybody else singing the song! Wow!

As a man who was listening to Nirvana in High school, when they were on the charts, I idolized Kurt. The man had so many of those epic moments where he seemed possessed. He was an amazing artist! I will never stop feeling his loss.

Loved your reaction to this musical masterclass. I remember being in absolute bits the first time I saw this as it was within days of Kurt’s death. I was just a puddle on the floor by the end.

[@rwestvang]

This was Kurt's last recorded song. It's eerie when you know that he didn't want Courtney to be there. He really made this old "folk" song his own in this performance. And when MTV and everyone else wanted an encore, he was honest when he said; I can't top that.

[@scottherrington2885]

You know your right is last recorded song

[@manwithumbrella]

You are the the only reactor I've seen who's taken note of that alarming moment, starting at 11:07, and lasting for about 2 secs where after having his eyes closed for most of the song, he tilts his head back and opens his eyes, with a look of sudden recognition/alarm, as if he suddenly realized that one day he would die, a moment of existential dread. He then closes his eyes again and continues, as if nothing had happened. You're right it is an electrifying moment.

[@sarumanork-orphanage5612]

You definitely chose a good song for vocal analysis, this one is just jucking awesome.

[@AlanTargas]

Hey!! About the thing where he moves his jaw, according to dave grohl, it's the way he used to feel the bpm, we usually use our feet but he would pass his jaw from side to side as a metronomer!!

[@Matjo7588dk]

The MTV unplugged concerts are the best thing to come from MTV. Its a gift to the world. And considering what MTV became, and how it just a waste of time now. Its good to remember they used to give the world things like this. These bands, and legends. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and so on. They where given this stage, where some of the most amazing band live recordings ever where made. All because of MTV, and what they used to be. They used to be the place where young people could connect with new people. Back when the internet was new, you still bought cd's and listened to music on tv channels. Also, this song is pretty cool. Because its actually not a Nirvana song, or anyone's song really. Its a old folk song. dating back to at least the 1800's. And then different people started recording it in the 1900's. Including Leadbelly. But it also put if not a different meaning, then at least a different context on the song. The lyrics where from a very different time. The song being about a man, who finds out his wife had been cheating on him, so he walks out into the cold night, and is found dead in the pines. About why or how he died, is up to how and what you take from the song as a listener. This was also the last song of the show, as he said. But MTV wanted Nirvana to go out and give one final number. But they where not sure, because they though they sucked, and it was awful. And that the people hated it, because people where so silent. Later, as the recording became legendary and all that, its clear people where not unhappy. They where just sucked in. And living in the moment with the music, no mobile phones recording or anything. Just them, the band and the music.

[@ferracha5078]

Kurt was saying goodbye this life in this song, that is the magic 😢

[@marcgustafson6015]

Most "grunge" music is tuned to drop "D" - even though this is an old blues tune. When I saw that you were going to react to this song - I was pumped. Kurt sang with soo much emotion on this set - just plain AWESOME! Thank you... You must hit up Alice in Chains to react to Layne Stahley's voice, or Soundgarden with Chris Cornell for some more grunge voices..

[@ManWithoutThePants]

Most of Pearl Jam and Nirvana is in standard tuning. Nirvana had songs with some lower tunings and I think this whole unplugged show they played tuned the standard tuned songs down 1/2-step. Alice in Chains was mostly Eb-tuning or drop-Db. Soundgarden I think used quite many different tunings, but I can't remember now what was their most commonly tuning since it's been ages when I listened to them (they were a good band).

[@Tronic21]

@@ManWithoutThePants good catch. nirvana is mostly in Eb on most records. they only have a handfull of drop D/Db songs from nevermind on to in utero. growing up in the 90's i always thought they had more drop d songs. before i learned to play them of course lol

Dave Grohl said in his book that he “played drums” with his teeth & Kurt was the only other person he knew who did the same. He also said in a Howard Stern interview that the best example of Kurt doing it was on this Unplugged performance. There’s also a video out there of Dave playing drums with his teeth! I didn’t understand what he meant until I saw it

[@reasonablefacsimile]

This was a simply fantastic analysis, my friend. Your technical breakdown was on point, especially comparing and contrasting with the old recording of Leadbelly, but you're also due a lot of respect for appreciating and calling attention to the sheer emotion Kurt was pouring out for us. It was a great tribute by whole the band (and guests) to Leadbelly, and you gave great treatment to both. Well done!

[@rabooey]

[@jse112584]

I’ve always felt that “sigh” at the end was sort of his way of leaving EVERYTHING “on the table” so-to-speak. You can see the pain/torment in his eyes 😢 I was 11 yrs old when Kurt passed way & only after being introduced to Nirvana from my older cousin the Winter before, it was a tough thing to hear and realize as a kid and it’s still hard to realize now at 39

Evocative, sad, completely vulnerable and wholly human. Thank you again…brand new subscriber, fellow musician, teacher and, as importantly, an eternal student.

[@simontemplar3359]

So there were two moments that blew me away! Well one was more a thing than a moment. ANYWAY... when you would sing the part, you actually were very very close to the way Leadbelly originally sang it. But the best part was around 11 minutes in, when Kurt looks up and you almost see his eyes flash, if you watch the playback, it was almost like watching him release that energy, and you reaction looked like you took it on board. It was flipping cool!

Nirvana Unplugged was what turned a lot of people's opinion on the band, and Cobain individually.

Nirvana Unplugged is arguably their best album.

It's sad that the very internal darkness that made Kurt such a captivating performer had to be his demise. But there seems to be a correlation. In hind sight, there is something about his performances that made it obvious, and I almost feel part of a collective guilt for not noticing it before. That is a pained man, not in that moment necessarily, but in general. It has to be incredibly hopeless to be so successful and admired, and to not only not feel fulfillment, but to have everyone look right over your pain in an almost envious way.

Such a nice analysis of this beautiful version. You look like you the same kind of appreciation for music as I do. It’s my life blood

[@TheRealSkeletor]

Love that you analyzed this one. If you want to complete your grunge (villain) arc though, you really need to give us a review of either Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, or Audioslave's Like a Stone. Preferably both.

Just discovered your videoes today. You're really good at this and your comments are so true and to the point...and with a pinch of humour. Great.

This right here. That Nirvana Unplugged show is insane. It's like EVERYTHING and i do mean EVERYTHING had to be right for that bit to happen, like it was meant to be, it was perfect.

"We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." This quote from Hunter S Thompson always reminds me of the "fucking electrifying" face Cobain makes, while taking a heavy breath and flashing his soulless blue eyes - lifeless eyes that few understand - before going in for his last breath and last note. Mostly because this was filmed months before his suicide, and his eyes seem to convey that he knows where he's headed.

Nothing ever will shake the first time I saw Kurt's face at the end. I was just a 11 year old kid, in love with Nirvana, watching the premier on MTV in December 1993. I KNEW something was wrong, I knew he was feeling something, maybe he was "just tired". Now I think he saw the black void coming towards him

I instantly teared up the minute he started playing. He was a genius. He changed music forever. If he hadnt died we would never have had the foo fighters though.
