Yep i sure have jj...i have those unplugged sessions in full and one of my other favs is the nirvana unplugged..very moving session that one
Many consider the Nirvana performance as the greatest Unplugged ever. I would tend to agree. Those Meat Puppets tracks, David Bowie's Man Who Sold The World and Lead Belly's Where Did You Sleep Last Night were instant classics IMHO and yes, the acoustic versions do have a life of their own! Check out how fucking young Dave looks!

Dave Grohl (The A.V. Club 2006 Interview): In rehearsal, we would do a song, and Kurt would turn to me and say, “Hey, do you think you could play it a little bit lighter?” “Oh yeah, I’ll try.” So we’d do another take, and he’d turn around and go, “Could you bring it down just a little bit more?” And we’d do another take, and he’d say, “You know what, just still, could you bring it down?” And I was like, “Should I even fucking be here?” Then someone handed me these little bundle sticks that made a huge difference and actually saved the whole show. I think Kurt wanted to bring it down to just the lowest, most dirge-like, Leonard Cohen level, which was really fun. I think that’s what made it so special; it wasn’t just acoustic versions of Nevermind.

You know, as much as I love Nirvana and all, this Plant and Page tune is on total point I think. Love this shit and one of my biggest regrets was never seeing LZ.
