Sorry this video got blocked due to copyright originally!! Managed to re upload. Thank you for your understanding.

The stare at the end always gets me. It’s like a little window to his pain. A truly transparent second.

as a teenager in the 90s, nirvana was always in my top 3 favorite bands. not because they were technical perfectionists or did things with their instruments that other people couldnt, but because they- most especially kurt- put the emotion into every element of the music and did it in a way that was never whiney. truly a shame that kurt left us early.

When he opens his eyes at the very end... is stunning... like his whole life flashed.

He didn’t give a crap about musical majors minors or the “professionalism” of it ,, he was that once in a lifetime artist the punched your heart ❤️!

While he may not be the most technically impressive vocalist he is (and this album in particular) is a masterclass in how to emote, connect with your audience and just leave people FEELING something. The deep breath at the end, where his bright blue eyes flash open, right before the last note still and will always send chills through me. A true artist, breaks my heart that he hurt to much to stay 💔

This has got to be one of the greatest live albums of all time. The fact that it was captured on video as well is absolutely amazing.

I’m a straight guy, but I gotta say if I was gay for one person, It would be kurt

The last part of this song is so amazingly beautiful. You can feel every ounce of pain and angst he had at that time. RIP Kurt

Yes , Dave Grohl was Nirvana's drummer before he started his own band (Foo Fighters)

This is actually a Lead Belly song they are covering. The song itself is a folk song and much older than Lead Belly’s version in the 40s

Butch Vig, who produced "Nevermind" said that during recording of the album that he, (Vig) would sometimes trick Kurt into singing multiple parts by saying things like "Oh, we didn't get it that take, we need to do another." This was of course a just ruse to 'thicken' up the sound, and Kurt would nail it every time, making multi-layering the vocals easy for Butch and later mastering. Kurt Cobain was an underrated singer.

It's a shame so many of these 90's musicians couldn't defeat their demons, so many would still be alive today and hopefully still making music.

The climax to this performance ALWAYS makes the hairs raise on my neck. Just stunning, noone can ever sing this like him. The moment his eyes open as he takes that last breath... just incredible

"In the Pines", also known as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" and "My Girl", is a traditional American folk song originating from two songs, "In the Pines" and "The Longest Train", both of whose authorship is unknown and date back to at least the 1870s. The songs originated in the Southern Appalachian area of the United States in the contiguous areas of Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky, Western North Carolina and Northern Georgia.[1][2] Versions of the song have been recorded by many artists in numerous genres, but it is most often associated with American bluegrass musician Bill Monroe and American blues musician Lead Belly, both of whom recorded very different versions of the song in the 1940s and 1950s.[3] A version of the song performed by the Four Pennies reached the UK top-twenty in 1964.[4] A live performance by the American grunge band Nirvana reinterpreted Lead Belly's version and was recorded during their MTV Unplugged performance in 1993.[5][6] Like numerous other folk songs, "In the Pines" was passed on from one generation and locale to the next by word of mouth. In 1925, a version of the song was recorded onto phonograph cylinder by a folk collector. This was the first documentation of "The Longest Train" variant of the song, which includes a verse about "The longest train I ever saw". This verse probably began as a separate song that later merged into "In the Pines". Lyrics in some versions about "Joe Brown's coal mine" and "the Georgia line" may refer to Joseph E. Brown, a former Governor of Georgia, who famously leased convicts to operate coal mines in the 1870s. While early renditions which mention the head in the "driver's wheel" make clear that the decapitation was caused by the train, some later versions would omit the reference to the train and reattribute the cause. As music historian Norm Cohen pointed out in his 1981 book, Long Steel Rail: The Railroad in American Folksong, the song came to consist of three frequent elements: a chorus about "in the pines", a verse about "the longest train" and a verse about a decapitation, but not all elements are present in all versions.[7][8] Starting in 1926, commercial recordings of the song were made by various country artists. In her 1970 Ph.D. dissertation, Judith McCulloh found 160 permutations of the song.[9] As well as rearrangement of the three frequent elements, the person who goes into the pines, or who is decapitated, is described as a man, woman, adolescent, husband, wife, or parent, while the pines can be seen as representing sexuality, death, or loneliness. The train is described as killing a loved one, as taking one's beloved away, or as leaving an itinerant worker far from home.[7] In variants in which the song describes a confrontation, the person being challenged is always a woman. The folk version by the Kossoy Sisters asks, "Little girl, little girl, where'd you stay last night? Not even your mother knows." The reply to the question, "Where did you get that dress/ And those shoes that are so fine?" from one version is, "From a man in the mines/Who sleeps in the pines."[7] The theme of a woman being caught doing something she should not is thus also common to many variants. One variant, performed in the early twentieth century by the Ellison clan (Ora Ellison, deceased) in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, tells of a young Georgia girl who flees to the pines after being raped. Her rapist, a male soldier, is later beheaded by the train. Some versions of the song also reference the Great Depression, with the "black girl" being a hobo on the move from the police, who witnesses the murder of her father while train-jumping. She hides from this by sleeping in the pines, in the cold.

I saw this when it aired on mtv and still believe this was the best live performance of all time

“Wish i could hug him” we all do, and probably what he needed more than anything

If "diving" into his screaming part is wrong then why does it give me goosebumps every single time i hear it?

His presence is just so hypnotising and his connection with the audience through his singing voice and his speaking voice is so soft it makes you want to lean in and listen.

sounds like somebody didnt plug a cable all the way in

Nirvana still remains one of my favourite bands. Their music was a big part of my teenage life and I still look to them for inspiration

Without the edits, we wouldn't have the video, but it's a shame that it's necessary because it's such a great performance. Damn copyright laws.

I'm completely straight, but it's hard ta take your eyes off Kurt

His death was such a great loss. Always wonder where music would be today if he was still around. The world truly changed that day.

Get this wonderful darling to 1 million. She deserves it!!!

He may not have been the best technical singer ever, but he had the “it” factor to his performances that made you feel something. To me, that’s what great singing/music is all about.

They played more shows after this show but this was their last big moment before he died. RIP

I get crazy chills Everytime he screams at the end

Yes, Cobain’s acoustic which he was using here sold for $6M, but Kurt was talking about that he wanted to buy Lead Belly’s guitar for $500,000, just to clear that up

Kurt sings with his pain in the front... Most other singers use it as motivation in the background whereas Kurt wore it on his sleeve with pride, that's why he was so inspiring to millions.

The passion and the emotion in his voice that's what makes music a spiritual healer

Did she really just criticize the way he went into the explosive ending?!? That is one of the most powerful and moving things I have ever heard. From here on no-one can even touch that song without paling in comparison to this performance. I have probably listened to this performance a few thousand times and it still gives me goosebumps every time!

Kurt Cobain singing plus Rebecca's smile = instant like! Thank goodness today's mostly sunny. Rebecca's upload just light up my day 🌻🌞

I remember watching as this show premiered. Unplugged was a truly special show back when MTV still remembered what music was.

6:22 Take your time hurry up the choice is yours don't be late

You don’t just listen to Kurt, but you feel Kurt

Have to say, my sister's friends burnt me out on Nirvana years ago. But the unplugged album is by far my favorite. It shows Kurt's talent. Another great reaction video Rebecca. ♥️

It's always a good day when Rebecca uploads 🖤🖤

"Is that Dave Grohl?" No, they hired a different drummer for this gig😜

Goosebumps when Kurt looks at the camera. For me it´s as if it was his last breath or something like that.

👍👍 stick with the MTV unplugged theme and do Alice in Chains..."Nutshell" "Rooster" "Angry Chair"

The comfy guitarist is pat smear who is also in Foo Fighters with Dave. Lot of talented people from the nirvana camp.

its been said that when cobain walked off stage finally, he said, 'ill never have a better performance than that' or something to that effect. . so yes he knew what kinda show they just put out

Somewhere out there is my recorded from TV VHS of this. My best friend and I waited by the TV and rewatched it thousands of times. I miss those days

I've watched the video version of this live performance more times than I can recall. In my opinion, its the most ironic unplugged album of all time. Kurt's raw voice, the songs played, the lore surrounding Nirvana, and the absolute cult following (myself included). I genuinely think this is the greatest band of all time. They didn't sell the most records, or have the most flare, but they were themselves and the newer generations who didn't get to experience Nirvana, still buy their merchandise. Unknowingly, they're keeping Nirvana alive after all these years.

Considering he had the flu and was puking before the show and during whilst battling withdrawals his control over his voice even in pain was commanding.

Ypu finally did it!!! Ive been waiting dir this forever! Absolutely LOVE you Rrrrrrrrrrebecca RVA!

Best unplugged performance ever...period. I played this song out back when I used to bartend and we had the MTV Unplugged CD in the jukebox...love it!

awwww Rebecca and Nirvana together is such a perfect combination

That last look he gave will always be haunting.

This song will forever give me chills everytime I listen to it. You can hear the desperation and passion in is voice when he sings. Only a short time later, he took his own life. Although his life ended way too early, songs like this will live forever.

IMO this is the best live song...ever. What makes it even more jarring is that right before the song he gives a light hearted anecdote and right after the song he appears nonchalant BUT while he's actually singing the song you can feel his soul and very being being stretched. That pause at the end of the song where he opens his eyes wide for a moment pierces my heart!

RIP Kurt, so humble, so did NOT want the fame and spotlight, and just wanted to play music we loved! :(

Kurt’s screaming was unique, and it was real. He was in pain. I don’t know how he didn’t wreck his vocal cords, but he didn’t care, that’s how he felt. This vocal expert would never attempt the screaming

My angel, Kurt. 😇 I had the honor of meeting him and that woman he married a short time before he passed. I got to talk to him for about 20 minutes. He was the most kind. The most gentle. The most humble man. He radiated light. She. Was exactly what you think.

I’ve listened to his voice for 20 plus years and I still feel heart broken every time I hear him sing! A LEGEND!

Kurt (he's credited on the liner notes as "Kurdt" Cobaine, at least on my copy) did backing vocals for his friend Mark Lanegan's version of this song on Lanegan's solo album "The Winding Sheet" which was released in 1990. That version was not acoustic, but rather a dark and brooding electric take on this folk classic typically associated with Leadbelly. Lanegan was the lead singer from Screaming Trees, another Seattle-based grunge band. Several other members of Nirvana appeared on the album, as well. edit: speling is hard. . .

Hey thanks for uploading this

i have listened to this album HUNDREDS of times over the years, and watched the videos, and this song, right at the end, the shivers, takes a breath opens eyes for a moment, the whole night through....brings tears to my eyes, EVERY SINGLE TIME. And yes I even see it in my mind when I just listen to the album...it's that moving.

:) "i wish I could give him a hug" ... So simple but probabily the most important thing he really needed then. Someone who wanted nothing from him,but to give him just love and support.

Kurt's sad howls are like nothing else. Nobody I've seen has been able to reproduce it.

Sometimes I’m in a mood I can’t describe other than “I want to lay down and listen to nirvana”

He can make you feel so much... So thankful he blessed us with his music before he left.

Unforgettable, unique, with a genius rarely seen, an icon. I love you forever, your voice and your understanding of music will be eternal.

This song always gives me chills lol

Rebecca : don't start with distorted vocals immediately Deathcore vocalists : BLEGH

My favorite Nirvana song...they introduced me to Led Belly and old blues.

I have been listening to this utterly gorgeous lady for a while now and she always gives a fair and true opinion presented in a fun way 1 million is on the way and she so so deserves it:)

He was really one of a kind...

This song is a perfect choice! I wish more professions would tackle this one.

Last public performance. What a gift that we can watch it forever

When he starts screaming the words it gives me goosebumps ♡❤♡

Supposedly he was so high before this performance that they had to give him something to go out and perform. Being a recovering addict myself, 7 years and counting, I really felt for him. So freaking talented!! Also, yes, I believe in the conspiracy........

In the early 90’s Nirvana revived Rock and Roll (for the last time, unfortunately) from the 80’s hair band debacle with a raw sound and genuine style.

Mrs. Rebecca you've definitely earned a new subscriber tonight! I just came across a few of your videos and I love the way that you love music!

Love this song! And this reaction and HUGE Congratulations on 1 million subs! Well done sweet lady!

I loved the “psycho-folk” elements of this live performance. I would’ve loved to have heard a whole album of this type of material; maybe in another universe

This was the last song Kurt played live with Nirvana. Rumour has it that they were supposed to do an encore but Kurt refused, saying that he couldn’t top his performance of this song. As sad as it is to know what happened merely months after this performance, and it is heartbreaking, this is one hell of a performance to leave on. Rest peacefully Kurt, you’ve helped so many people with your music more than you’ll ever know

First off you look marvelous today Rebecca, this is an awesome piece of history,thxs for doing this 👌

Man I still get chills every time he does that very last line

Funny listening to someone try to recreate the pain in his voice that came so natural to him

Heart breaking Courtney got away with it, and that bean never got to grow up with him there the man was truly special

YOU FINALLY DID IT😭😭😭😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭 You are the best

Hey love your audio popped like crazy in the best bits xxx love your posts ..

i like your videos but your audio in this one has a alot of static cracking for some reason just a heads up. maybe loose cable or something i dunno

I wonder if kurt knew how good he actually was.

I love It!! Also your reactions and explanations!! Thanks Rebecca you are so cute!!!🤗

7:09 that FUCKING LOOK he gives always gives me Goosebumps! Miss you KURT!!!

There are those who sing perfectly and then there are those who are perfect singers...Kurt was a perfect singer.

The last look Kurt gives.... The look of a man who has already made the choice.... Thank you Kurt for what you gave, while we shared this plane of existence... We are better for it...

i truly enjoy your reviews! your taste in music to review is refreshing. your emotions look very real.

That eye open at the end…. Very prophetical

Good thing he didn’t smash his guitar at the end. It recently sold for $6 million at auction 😎

Hi Rebecca , Glad you appreciate the vulnerability of Kurt. Such a talent he was. 100% sincere. Yes , that's Dave Grohl !

Everytime I watch this video it always, ALWAYS, gives me the chills at the end when he opens his eyes wide and takes the deep exhale and inhale. Perfection.

I watched this Live, amazing. You are a blast to watch.

7:11 ॐ

The Meat Puppets cover on this unplugged album of “Oh Me” is incredible with both his arrangement and vocal. Definitely worth a look

The look at the end was truly this mate seeing eternity, maybe somehow knowing how close he was to the end.

Personally, this is my favorite song of all time, after a thousand times hearing this still brings tears
