Nirvana Unplugged #1 live album

Just surpassed Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore on my most played live list. Maybe it is personal preference, but this album appreciates.

It's seminal, but the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" and AIC's Unplugged are 2 that I have above it.
Just on Hell Freezes over, you have the acoustic masterpiece version of Hotel California, as well as the definitive versions of Pretty Maids All in a Row and The Last Resort.
For AIC's Unplugged, you have half a dozen songs that exceed the album version and the show itself is a haunting, more or less final goodbye from Layne Staley to AIC's fans.
Queen's "Live Magic" (which combines some July 11 and 12 1986 Wembley songs with much of their August 9 Knebworth show, and a couple from Hungary) is pretty damned good, too.
The ABB Live at Fillmore and Nirvana Unplugged are way up there, too, though. Fine choices.

listening to Nirvana and AIC at age 35 is a different experience than as a teenager. AIC has survived. Frankly, nirvana I find terrible outside a few songs.
That eagles unplugged album was the first dvd I ever bought. It is great.

I can listen to All Apologies and Pennyroyal Tea all day off of that album.
Still love AIC and STP's unplugged though.

Half hour Mountain Jam is hard to top, but the Nirvana and AIC unplugged shows are really high on my list too.

I think AIC and 10,000 Maniacs are better Unplugged albums, but I like Nirvana's. The Where Did You Sleep Last Night is great. As is On a Plain.

I second the Last Waltz

Live Rust and Live at Leeds have to be near the top.
I'm also very fond of Skynyrd's ...Another One From the Road.
The Last Waltz is not a bad choice at all.
What holds back MTV Unplugged in New York is the lack of improvisational display. The revamped songs and covers are terrific, but it doesn't feel like the band ever takes the audience anywhere completely unexpected or surprising. The emotion and weight of the performance is there, but the energy in an acoustic setting fails to measure up to some of the more "electric" performances, pun intended.

Heresy. The Unplugged movement was a blight on these types of bands. Would unplugged is shitty shite - compared to Would? which is one of the greatest songs of all time.

I am an old fart but I thought the Who "Live at Leeds" was the best live album I had ever heard at the time and I have not changed my mind since then. Townsend just delivers one bomb after another and Entwhistle and Moon are absolutely possessed. Daltry is a wild man as well. Unbelievable monster of an album.

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps

I thought Alice in Chains unplugged was better than Nirvana Unplugged.

It was basically Cobain's living funeral aired live. There is a lot of energy in that recording. If you watch the video, the performance of "Where did you sleep last night?" is haunting, and when he let's out that last gasp on the "shiver......the whole night through" you can pretty much see him give the ghost up captured on video. It haunts me every time.
