NirvanaMTV Unplugged in New York

Grunge stripped to candlelight and raw nerve, recorded months before the end and impossibly haunting for it. Cobain's frayed voice cracks open on 'About a Girl' and the devastating closer 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night,' which ends in a scream that still raises the hairs on your arms. The lilies on the amps, the funeral hush, the covers chosen like last words. A fragile, ghostly masterpiece.
