Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (Live On MTV Unplugged, 1993 / Unedited) 

I'd say his best performance on MTV was definitely Where Did You Sleep Last Night but this is a close second.

@@graph9927 It's very tough to choose between both songs, I've always liked "The Man Who Sold The World" more than "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?". I feel it's like Cobain saying goodbye.

It was one of the best songs of the set, I agree. I also like the Live and Loud version.

Kurt Cobain will never die !!!

He doubted his abilities for a slight second, but still pulled off a masterful performance.

he did screw it up on 3:14 He was aiming for the 8th fret, hit the 7th, then over compensated and hit the 9th then finally hit the 8th. But that screw up made the song better in my opinion. Crazy how screwing up can actually work out for the better.

@@XXAbbott i agree

@@XXAbbott yeah, totally! But you're right, the song did get better

@@XXAbbott you know it’s funny, my entire life I’ve heard that mess up and I don’t think it would sound the same without it.

@@kryingblood exactly!

Really? I did not know that. It shows how good Kurt and the rest of Nirvana really were. I've always heard that they constantly rehearsed and practiced before doing live shows and it shows.

Go watch pj unplugged eddie vedder is clearly on another level

He was so much more beautiful and talented than I think he ever knew. ❤️

​@@pompastine100Layne Staley messed up "Sludge Factory" and had to start over, but it was hilarious cause he just yelled "F**K!" and then slowly laughed 😂

​@@pompastine100 IMO PJ just played their songs with the same energy and the same arrangements but with acoustic guitars 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Yeah. This and Alice in Chains are the best

Kurt bringing on Pat Smear was a really smart move. Really filled out their live songs with another great guitar player especially during this entire performance.

@Hunter Vonnegut it's not the same dude shut the fuck up already

pat might have but kurt thought this was terrible because the crowd was quiet, the man had issues but was a genius

What's really sad is the fact that he did this whole show high on heroin and he still outperformed most motherfukers that get on the stage today

I love Nirvana, but I have always been a bigger Bowie fan (I'm an old... I grew up with Bowie). Except for this song. "No Kurt, you did NOT screw this song up."

He did screw one note up but it took years for anyone to notice

@@user-rz2sq9fm2g What part?

@@jhonatanmonsalve7054 search up the video ‘what kurt cobains mistake on mtv taught me’

Is that the part he thought he would screw up? Even if he did, it sounded incredible. Yes, it "was" a David Bowie song!!

There's a documentary where David Bowie says that he actually prefers Kurt's version of this song to his own... It "was " a David Bowie song, but now it's a part of Nirvana. Where Kurt & David are Eternally. Peace Love & Empathy -Kurt Cobain 🕉️♾️

Он, это сделал так, как он её воспринял...

this was certainly not "on the fly", this set had intense rehearsals for the band leading up to this live performance.

Until his BBC live in 2000 when he got his song back.

Thats great and all but this is 31 years alone unless ur a time traveler

Check Klaus Nomi the man who sold the world. I think you'll enjoy that artist

Can you tell us more about that story? It's always amazing to hear new things about this man

tell more. I'm enjoying the story.

please tell us more

I’ll have him tell me all about it and post it here soon

Oh he also said that every now and then someone would come in for him and they’d Sprint out together

I'm glad we got either performance. AiC's show was after Kurt's suicide, and they hadn't performed together in years. Layne clearly wasn't doing well. Opening with "Nutshell" definitely set the mood for it. I'm glad we have these shows to look back on, but I'd rather Kurt and Layne were still around. Maybe Kurt would've even appeared with Mad Season.

@@gamete4375 What about that interview shows Kurt disrespecting Narduar? I've seen it and he seems fine to me.

They're spitting and throwing things at his very expensive camera. There's another version I've seen which includes Narduar's entrance and more "respectful" behavior. Courtney apparently arranged the interview, I don't think the boys were on board. To be fair, Narduar takes shit from everyone. Still, having actually been around at this time, my memory of Kurt is not one of a respectful guy. More irreverent and borderline personality types of shit. Whatever you say, though. I really liked Nirvana back in the day, had all their studio records and a bunch of "bootleg" records. I'm not even mad that he was that way. I just would never characterize his behaviors as respectful. He was trying to shock you.

He did mess up multiple times though

Technically this is a version

FR

I did and i'm still waiting for such a phenomenon to happen again, maybe in vain.

there was nothing quite like the creative froth of the late 80's and early 90's as the Reagan era came to a close and alternative rock came to the mainstream sadly, we may not have another one of these eras. the digital music economy is a beast where the single dominates and is much a throwback to the corporate owned music economy of the previous decades . This revolution in the digital economy promised much but seems to have been a false promise, and it truly has been the last big revolution in music since Nirvana and the emergence and recognition of hip hop after his death which was a long time coming. the true next revolution may be in free sharing of music created and shared outside of it that allows for true genuine growth and experimentation

Yep i missed peak of hip hop music 1986-1997 and alt rock underground 1983-1997

only that you didnt mention any "great musician"^^ its nice music, i listen to it sometimes to and enjoy it. but i mean i like it, if my children paint pictures for me and i hang them up. it doenst have to be ... hieronymus bosch, monet, van gogh or picasso all the time. in this picture, kurt cobain, jim morrisson and david bowie are the children and for example hiromi uehara, art tatum, miles davis, franz liszt, paganini, beethoven, bach and friends are the picassos of course.

@@wurstfinger3289 Well "great musicians" is a subjective term and people like all kinds of different music. Some people don't like Bach. Doesn't mean he wasn't great. If somebody is really good at what they do I don't care what kind of music it is, I pay attention. Kurt was good at what he did. Musicians don't want to be categorized or stuck in a box of some kind, they want to be free to explore and experiment with new things. That's why I hate it when you're at a concert and some yahoo keeps yelling out for the band to do some old song. It's much more interesting to see where a band is going and what they're creating that's new. The only thing I find it hard to listen to is "dissonance" when the notes are not in harmony in any way. That's just noise. I like everything from "Iko Iko" by the Dixie Cups to "29 Palms" by Robert Plant.

@@johnallen2771 "Well "great musicians" is a subjective term" no. "Some people don't like Bach. " i dont really like most of him. doesnt matter. i know what he did for the developement of music and which level of skill he had. i mean calling kurt cobain or clapton skilled guitarrists is ... well i say "not proven". " Kurt was good at what he did." yes. "It's much more interesting to see where a band is going and what they're creating that's new." depends if there was a positive developement, go for it. but in cultural industrialized productions, this is a rarity. "The only thing I find it hard to listen to is "dissonance" when the notes are not in harmony in any way. " thats somehting YOU dont like. go for your 3chordsongs your whole life. great musician of course reach for more. its not my problem if majorities stay in your nutshell the rest of their lifes^^ wont happen to me. "That's just noise." its just something you will never get because of your habits.

@@wurstfinger3289 Like I said, I'm 70 years old and music is my main interest. During my life I have heard so many different kinds of music from all over the world. There was a time during the '50s when some jazz musicians were experimenting with dissonance. The sound was quite chaotic/confused and not really pleasing to the human ear except as a curiosity and it didn't last long. But you can listen to the most intricate jazz and it harmonizes in some fashion no matter how obtusely. So I know the difference between harmony and dissonance. Even in ancient Africa the natives made drums that harmonized. And what is "cultural industrialized productions"?

@@johnallen2771 cultural industry in very short means enlightment as instrument of massdesception. culture in capitalistic societies has to follow the same dictation of capital, as the industrial production. most important is not the cultural aspect but the value-realization. its not about art, its about selling. so the product doesnt have to be cultural valuable, it has to be easy to consume, easy to understand. it has to have nothing challenging, nothing that could make the individual grow with it. it has to be that easy, that after a day of 8-10 hours work, you can just relax and do nothing, while this music is played. actually, you dont even really need to listen. you can do anything else parallel to it. so its not challenging products, its degenerative products. its a term not only usefull for music but also for movies, architecture, ... culture. you can see it everywhere, if you take a closer look. the theroy calls out 2 phases: before that, in the liberal days, art was used for progressive, emancipative, critical action with some impact. it was mostly about resistance. its been about free art and stuff. now, in the late capitalism, the art is not free anymore, because "freedom" doenst necessarily express itself in getting money. "free art" in the very most cases means poor artist. very poor artist. nowadays, art lost a lot of its substance. "under my umbrella ella ella e e e" (rihanna) or eric claptons always the same and not very various guitar"licks" as an example. he s not scofield, joscho stephan or david fiuzcinsky. the impact, that this has on society: the autonomous individual will be replaced by a hetereonomous one. thats what we can see all over the world. the "world of culture" becomes seperated in one very small part of real authentic arts and a big one, produced in an industrial way: mass production of easy things, no complex messages and so on. means: the art doesnt communicate or interact with the individual anymore, because the individual is degraded to a consumer. the topics will be only ... easy stuff, superficialities. cultural industry is massculture, as a weapon of assimilation. its as adorno and horckheimer said: "culture today is infecting everything with sameness".

Exactly the same thing happens to me, sometimes I don't know whether to laugh and enjoy it, or cry.
