32 years ago today, Nirvana released MTV Unplugged in New York.
The set was taped on November 18, 1993 at Sony Music Studios in Manhattan. Kurt Cobain asked for stargazer lilies, black candles and a chandelier, and when the producer asked if he meant like a funeral, Kurt answered, "Exactly. Like a funeral."
The album arrived seven months after his death. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 310,500 copies sold in its first week, the biggest opening of Nirvana's career, and won the band their only Grammy.
Fourteen songs, one take, and still the standard every Unplugged gets measured against.
