Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live On MTV Unplugged) [REACTION!] 

Ironic. He's asking about a $500,000 guitar he wanted. Fast-forward that guitar He's holding holds a record for the most expensive guitar ever sold at an auction. 6 million I believe. RiP Kurt. Thank you for your gift.

Kurt's final scream, last gasp and his gaze into the camera makes me soo damn sad.. Just writing this gets me emotional

So glad I walked the halls of high school during his time. 90's grunge is by far EPIC

Kurt is literally untouchable in this moment. There will never be another like him. RIP beautiful, yet wounded soul

Where Cobain takes this song vocally is legendary!

No one can sing this song and rip your heart out through your nostrils like Kurt. This performance came about 4 months prior to his death. I will never forget living through seeing this and then hearing about his death in real time. It is one of those things that has been permanently etched into my psyche. 😔

Being a pitch perfect singer is a gift. Nobody's able to achieve that without being born that way. Screaming in perfect pitch is not of this world. It isn't.

It's so haunting when he opens his eyes at the end. Almost like he saw something disturbing.

For my measly 2 cents. In my 47 years of life on this planet, as a human being, that loves music. There is no other musical artist that has brought MORE EMOTION, in his craft....than Kurt. R.I.P. you angel.

I remember watching this as it aired and buying this CD as soon as it was available! They crushed the entire performance this night!

I weep every time I watch it, he died a few months after this aired. This performance is so haunting and beautiful.

This performance tears me up and gives me chills everytime...Showcases Kurt's Raw pain, emotion, and torment..His music saved my life...RIP Kurt

They also cover David Bowie's "the man who sold the world" in their unplugged performance. It's equally astonishing

If you watched to the end, you can see he walks around the audience signing autographs, which is also strangely touching.

This song is when I first FELT how much punk rock and the blues have in common. They both share being so frustrated, in so much pain that you have to let it out and you don’t give a @$&# what anyone else thinks about that expression.

I still get chills when I hear his song

Best unplugged album of all time. From start to finish its a masterpiece.

As he matured, the angst that was the grunge scene was evident in his voice. The distortion and rasp in his voice conveys such raw emotion. I can only imagine what gifts he would have given the world if he had more time on this earth. This song by led belly is a classic and worth a listen. The man who sold the world on mtv was also amazing by nirvana.

It's nice to see monumental figures like Cobain give shout outs to the lead bellys of the world. Lead Belly is a forgotten giant by the masses.

All of the grunge bands that did Unplugged created epic concerts that no other groups could stand up to.

This is the only song... that always brings a tear...and a knot in my throat.,.the sadness in his voice just brakes my heart ... man,,, I miss Kurt...

Nirvana made such an impact in a very short time. Kurt was an incredible song writer and performer.

This was originally a folk song with some variations dating back to the 1870s. Most think the song "In the Pines" originated from two different folk songs: "In The Pines" and "The Longest Train".

Kind of funny that Kurt is laughing about Leadbelly's guitar @ $500k.. Kurt's guitar recently sold for a record $6.01M

Lead belly was an African American 12 string guitarist in the 30s and 40s hes awesome to listen to. He’s played lots of other instruments also. He was a folk and blues guy and Kurt Cobain would speak about him from time to time in interviews and with friends. Lots of the unplugged tour featured songs from other artist he liked. Him and pat smear got together and just picked songs they liked listening to or group up with from his record collection and decided to play them on the unplugged special. So he’s referring to his guitar at the beginning which was offered to him for that insane price at the time.

Kurt was asked by the unplugged producers to go back and do an encore and Kurt responded with something along the lines of, I don't think I can top that last song.

That haunting look at the end unsettles me everytime.

All of his unplugged songs from this session are amazing.

MTV was so upset that they played mostly covers when they did this, but Nirvana was so badass. Still one of, if not the best unplugged performance MTV has ever had.

I love seeing people get emotional when listening to music. It honestly makes the listening expierence so much batter

You are so sweet and nice. Being friends with u most be a blessing

The Guitar He's playing there, sold for over 6 mill😁👍😜

I LOVE HIS VOICE ❤

First time I saw this, that pause and stare in the middle of the last verse caught me off guard. He was in the middle of “it”. Still gets me. To think he’s been gone as long as he was alive ... he left such a legacy but sad to think there could have been so much more.

What I love about this one in particular - all of the Unplugged songs are wonderful - is the way he's telling a story. He builds and builds and then lays everything out at the end. Kurt was just special. Love seeing you experience it for the first time!

RIP Kurt. i fucking still love you and Nirvana after all these years. 30 years strong!

Great reaction! Kurt was a great guy - at the way end of this video they show him signing autographs for his fans.

here crying while Kurt sings his heart out, and I never cry...

Sad we lost Kurt way too soon. The music he could've created through out his lifetime.

Just wow!!! When you can relate to what he’s singing this hits even harder! The pain is real… Thank you for another wonderful song and reaction 🥰

Hearing this brings me back to my teenage years. I loved Nirvana and Kurt’s music, it spoke too many of my generation. I remember watching this on MTV, I remember seeing the news of his death. Music was never really the same for me after that.

This is a old Lead Belly song. If you want to know where a lot of rock songs came from Lead Belly, Son House and Robert Johnson is where to look. Truth is rock and roll came from the Mississippi Delta.

I’m pissed that we didn’t get to listen to Kurt make new music for the last 25 years, but will always be grateful for the 5+ years that he did.

Him belting out those lyrics catching you off guard is amazing. He was an amazing talent.

This has been a contender for one of my favourite songs ever. 25 years of listening to music and I never tire of it

The drummer is the lead singer of the Foo fighters you should check out some of their music

6:30 that extra death breath... unbelievable

Very moving to watch your reaction to this masterpiece, R.I.P Kurt, his music will never be forgotten ❤️

His voice is probably one of the best I have ever heard. The range in his vocals is outstanding.

So talented ! So much going on in him he could not escape from ! Sad !

Such a powerful voice. Thank you for inspiring me Kurt

Double Nirvana Tuesdays! I once did a cover of this song at the request of a friend of mine. That friend is sadly no longer with us so this song always gives me the warm and fuzzies.

I always cross my fingers reactors catch Kurt's eyes open just before the final "night through". That shit gets me EVERY time.

for me it's his moment of clarity that haunts me.

Still, every single time I hear this, the emotion gives me goosebumps and a little watery eyes.

I was in this audience. The song was written by Leadville a man convicted of murder in the 30s and was a phenomenal songwriter

The look of desperation in that pause during the breath between the last “the whole” and “night through”……..wow, soul wrenching💔

So happy I grew up in this time. So sad Kurt is gone. Thank you for your gift Nirvana. RIP Kurt! Love his intro btw. Alice in Chains Unplugged is Dope also!

This song brings back so much pain, but also growth as a young man.

I wish people you existed when I was young. Delicate. Smart. Tough. Vulnerable. Loving. Wise.even more...

Again, it's just really, really cool to see people appreciate songs you've loved for a long time. Just really satisfying.... Another great reaction, smiler 👍😁X

That voice. There will never be another

I remember watching this live. When he runs out of air and opens his eyes, I swear this moment lasted so much longer... I knew then it was iconic. What a shame to see his talent beset. What a time it was.

The way he looks into the camera at the end of the scream always gets me.

Love watching your reactions. You have an awesome voice and your beautiful and the way you get into the music is so real it's refreshing.

This song dates back to the 1800s. Its probably originally about the underground railroad and the original lyrics are "black girl black girl dont lie to me tell me where did u sleep last night.." and the "in the pines where the sun dont ever shine" part is evoking the north where the runway slaves sought refuge.

This is my favourite Nirvana performance EVER! I was so pleased when 'Nirvana Unplugged' was released as an album. This is IMO the best song on there, even though it was a cover - Kurt's voice & charisma took it to a whole new level - the way he gasped & looked up in the last line - haunting, brings me to tears every time. Kurt was a gentle but troubled soul who hated fame; I was deeply affected by his tragic death, but what a wonderful legacy he left us........I wish he'd got to see his daughter grow up. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain 💔 PS the song is over 100 years old - recorded under different titles including 'In The Pines' and 'Black Girl' - Leadbelly recorded it in the 1940's. I think it will always be Kurt's song now due to this performance🖤

Love all the performances of this unplugged session… buy this record after this and can literally sing along… emotional memories

If you like this performance you’ll love the man who sold the world live

Love it, you rock peace love

The best part is that intense look he gives right before the last line

Only two singers I have watched in my life that put there hole heart and sound into every song that they sung was Kurt and Layne

Great reaction! Kurt was such a good singer and person!

That sigh at the end has all the emotion of the song in it. It gets me every time.

They do the song justice which was originally recorded back in the 1930’s by a great great great blues artist named Leadbelly

Magnificent!! He was brilliant! RIP! 🙏🙏🙏

Watching you experience that bought tears to my eyes. It's an amazing performance. He was showing a tiny piece of his soul in those last few moments.

If a tear does not roll down your face at that last raw emotional part you are not human...😥

He's doing yodels to make his voice sound like that, especially when he says, I would shiver the whole night through

AY your videos are very calming to me, your demeanor and smile are unmatched!

It gets me every time . WOW

I start to Listen Nirvana,and LOVE KURT when I had 10 year's,or Nine newermind,now I have 41 year and still love Nirvana,song,play and off course LOVE YOU KURT❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏,we Will never forget you,,,,HAIR OF ANGEL❤️❤️❤️

30 years later to see young people appreciating great music is really great.

Enjoyed listening & watching this with you. Great reaction, great request.

This is a great cover...it led me to seek out and listen to the original "Black girl" by leadbelly. It's great. I can see why Kurt was inspired by it.

Thank you for your genuine and so focus listening. It's help me to rediscover this music and appreciate the details.

Those eyes before he sang the final part of this song always give me chill.

I remember when Unplugged was first aired but I didn't see until a couple of months afterwards. I wasn't a fanatic, but Nirvana was on the radio a lot and I had one of their CDs. Kurt had a unique talent for being alt yet still able to crank out melodies that had wide appeal. I was so blown away by this performance. There was a whole side of Kurt and the band no one knew existed (except the lucky few who saw them do this set live beforehand.) Having Kurt leave us right after experiencing this intimate performance turned his death, that for many people who hadn't ever met him, into a real gut punch. Did anyone else watch MTV's 24-hour vigil and tributes? My girl and were up the entire night watching it, as were a lot of others. A lot of people were in shock --- and yet the worst was yet to come. There was so little info at first ---most assumed it was an OD. Gradually the true horror was made known. His suicide was about as shocking as finding out about his death. Many of my friends were acting as if one of our friends passed away. It was a very sad and weird time.

6:30 legendary moment to see it live

The way he opened his eyes at the end, looked like he was making sure he was okay.

I enjoy your reactions, you seem genuine, good luck in the future.

That stare though…..cuts right through everyone watching everytime!

Rogue, you have a beautifully soothing voice.

He was an iconic musician of that Era, he just had alot going on as well, to me his words of himself came from his music.

My late son identified w Kurt.. we spent hundreds of hours watching Nirvana on MTV while Eric received his sickening chemo. For 3 years. We had all the CDs. Eric was only 12 but he felt Cobain could identify w cancer pain.. he sings, ‘ I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black’, was such an emotional hook for him. How could it not? We were together in his hospital bed when the life changing news that Kurt had died flashed on the tiny hospital TV… This was in ‘94… Eric never recovered and passed a year after Cobain. He verbally hoped he’d see Kurt once he got to Heaven. And I’m sure he did.

Your love for music shines through, & to watch you react to music I grew up with, is a pure pleasure.

u have such a good vibe. people who surround u must be pretty lucky to have u in their lives. thanks for reacting to my favorite band ever. bright blessings!

Love that song.

The gathering at Seattle Center for him was amazing such an energy there at the time.

Love this song. Thanks for reacting!
