Unplugged was a great show, this was one of the best sessions.

I wonder how much one would pay for the world?

"Well crafted" is my usual response. Seems to satisfy most and makes me feel ok about not apearing too pretentious.

Great song - but think Lulu did a much better version than Nirvana in fact everything Lulu has done is better than Nirvana!

A first-time hear for me. Had no idea that they covered this tune. Marvy to hear immediately after Lady Grinning Soul. Not altogether different than the original, but still quite worthwhile. Thanks.

Please keep in mind that people with a range in musical taste as your average RP listener is rare. Just think of the question that vexes me every time someone asks me...

"So what kind of music do you listen to?"

If you can answer that question easily, than you won't be spending any time here.

always cringe during the solo where Kurt Cobain slides up to the wrong note and the slides half step down to the right note. Geeez. I guess it's a good testament that this was live and I actually prefer the imperfections with it being live.

also that lil feedback. I seem to wait for it..

They're both great. Bowie's version is preferred only because of the chanting on the coda. So otherworldly....

I always liked this version better than Bowie's. Cobain really puts himself into it. I think he really connected to the song on a personal level.

The feedback adds to this live performance. It wouldn't be as good without it.

I prefer this version to the Bowie's. The instruments are basically the same, but the singing is more to my liking.

Does your statement have a "deeper" meaning...?

Certainly you are right. Iggy for example has been very deep into Bowie!
