* SpecialGuest: For the Meat Puppets cover versions the actual Music/MeatPuppets perform along with Nirvana.

''MTV Unplugged in New York'' is the debut live album by Music/{{Nirvana}} released in 1994. It was recorded on November 18, 1993 in New York and broadcast on Creator/{{MTV}}. It is also their first posthumous release, coming after Music/KurtCobain's death and added two bonus tracks that weren't broadcast on TV at the time. It became a huge best-seller and the live version of "About A Girl" became a minor hit in some countries, where it was released on single. The unquestioned highlight of all the covers the band played that night was their haunting closing cover, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night".

Nirvana's ''Unplugged In New York'' is perhaps the most famous concert in MTV's "Unplugged" series. The band chose not to perform any of their [[SignatureSong signature songs]], apart from "Come as You Are". It's also a partial CoverAlbum, where they performed songs by some of Cobain's musical influences and thus gave many of these artists more mainstream attention. ''Unplugged in New York'' is also popular with people who aren't huge Nirvana fans or dislike {{hard rock}} or {{alternative rock}} for that matter, because the acoustic set gives the audience a chance to hear the group's strength as songwriters and Cobain's ear for melody.

# "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (5:08)

** During "Lake Of Fire" Cobain at one point originally came in too early and quickly muffled his line, before singing it at the appropriate moment. This moment was removed from the original 1994 release.
* CoverAlbum: The group covered songs by Music/TheVaselines ("Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam,") Music/DavidBowie (The title track from ''Music/TheManWhoSoldTheWorld'',) Music/MeatPuppets ("Oh, Me", "Plateau", "Lake Of Fire") and Music/{{Leadbelly}} ("Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is a cover of "In The Pines.")
** Music/DavidBowie himself liked the band's rendition of "The Man Who Sold The World:"

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is a far more [[DarkerAndEdgier dark and disturbing]] cover of the genuinely cheery sounding Leadbelly song "In the Pines."
* DeadpanSnarker: During a huge part of the concert Cobain sounds rather depressed, sarcastically putting himself down and making snide comments. This is however a bit of misconception, because the CD release cut a lot of funny conversations between Cobain and the audience. He even jokes about how long the Meat Puppets(who he idolized) were taking to get ready for their set.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Although the official title of this album is "MTV Unplugged In New York", many people refer to it as "Unplugged In New York."

** Before "All Apologies" Grohl drums the intro of "Scentless Apprentice" from ''Music/InUtero'', though they never play that number.

** Intro to "The Man Who Sold The World."
-->'''Cobain''': ''I guarantee you I will screw this up. And I know exactly which part''.
-->'''Grohl''': ''Yeah, like he only screws one up''.
-->'''Cobain''': (After the performance:) ''I didn't screw it up, did I? O.K., but here's another one I could screw up.''

-->'''Grohl''': ''That's sounded good.''
-->'''Cobain''': ''Shut up!''

* TakeThatAudience: In a deleted part Cobain takes audience requests, though after hearing most of them he simply says tongue in cheek: "Fuck you all" and plays "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The original 1994 album release cut some of the conversations with the audience. In one of the cut conversations Cobain says we can't play "Pennyroyal Tea" and "On A Plain" back to back, then says: "Let's just do it anyway, who cares, it's a television show. They will edit in a different order afterwards." Despite that they perform "Dumb" instead afterwards. There's also a funny conversation about ''Series/DaveyAndGoliath'' before Cobain performs the Music/MeatPuppets songs.

* DeadpanSnarker: During a huge part of the concert Cobain sounds rather depressed, sarcastically putting himself down and making snide comments. This is however a bit of misconception, because the CD release cut a lot of funny conversations between Cobain and the audience.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The stage was decorated with stargazer lilies, black candles and a crystal chandelier. Cobain suggested this touch because it would look "like a funeral." Also makes the concert {{Foreshadowing}} and HarsherInHindsight considering, seeing Cobain would be dead only half a year later.
* LiveAlbum: It was entirely played live. Occasionally you hear a few musical mistakes. When Cobain announces "The next song is "Oh, Me"" you hear one of the other musicians say: "Oh?" as if he expected a different number in the line-up.

--> ''What are they tuning? A harp?''

-->'''Cobain''': (After the performance:) ''I didn't screw it up, did I? O.K., but here's another one I could screw up.'' He then announces he will play "Pennyroyal Tea" and says: ''I think I'll try it in a normal key. If it sounds bad these people just gonna have to wait''.

* UnpluggedVersion: As the title explains.

* ShoutOut: Before "All Apologies" Grohl drums the intro of "Scentless Apprentice" from ''Music/InUtero'', though they never play that number.

It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool''.
** During the final two songs Cobain takes time for requests, though all this audience conservation was cut from the 1994 album release, as well as the MTV broadcast. He refuses "Sliver," because he has to scream for it. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is dismissed by Novoselic: "That's for Music/ToriAmos." When someones shouts "Rape Me" Cobain says: "I don't think MTV will let us play that."

* NewSoundAlbum: The acoustic sets of "MTV Unplugged in New York" was a surprising and welcoming change of sound compared to their previous loud rock albums.
