MTV Unplugged in New York

Last updated

For the final line, "I would shiver the whole night through," Cobain jumps up an octave, forcing him to strain so far he screams and cracks. He hits the word "shiver" so hard that the band stops, as if a fight broke out at a sitcom wedding. Next he howls the word "whole" and then does something very strange in the brief silence that follows, something that's hard to describe: he opens his piercingly blue eyes so suddenly it feels like someone or something else is looking out under the bleached lank fringe, with a strange clarity.

In 2012, MTV Unplugged in New York was placed at number 313 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. [37] The 2020 edition of the list placed it at number 279. [38] Rolling Stone also named it the 95th best album of the 1990s. [39] The readers rated it the 8th best live album of all time. [40] NME placed MTV Unplugged in New York at number 1 on their list of the "50 Greatest Live Albums". [41] Kerrang listed it among the 11 best live albums of all time. [42] In July 2014, Guitar World ranked MTV Unplugged in New York at number 30 in their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list. [43] The same magazine listed it at number 4 on their list of "The 10 Best Live Albums You Must Hear". [44] Far Out magazine also included it at number 4 on their list of the best 20 live albums of all time. [45] In 2020, The Telegraph included it at number 13 on their list of the best live albums of all time. [46] Also in 2020, Planet Rock magazine included the album in their list of "The 100 Greatest Live Albums Ever". The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die . [47]

Reviewing the MTV Unplugged in New York DVD release in 2007, the Los Angeles Times wrote that it "deserves a place on the rock TV history shelf alongside the informal, sit-down section of Elvis Presley's epic comeback special in 1968". [16] In June 2020, the 1959 Martin D-18E guitar used by Cobain at the Unplugged concert was sold at Julien's Auctions for US$6 million to Peter Freedman of Røde Microphones, making it the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction.
