Some point to well-received acoustic sets on MTV by popular acts like XTC and Bon Jovi earlier that year. MTV Unplugged first aired on 26 November 1989, though it’s difficult to say what exactly inspired its creation. Not only one of the best MTV Unplugged performances in the show’s three-decade history, it remains one of the greatest live performances of all time.
The fact that Cobain’s sweater has become a pop-cultural artefact is just one more example of how Nirvana’s performance on MTV Unplugged In New York– which turned 25 just days after the auction – has seared itself into the timeline of popular music. Recently, the shaggy green cardigan Kurt Cobain wore on MTV Unplugged was auctioned off for a staggering $334,000.
