I cannot imagine any other song closing the night as powerful, other-wordly and amazing as "Where did you sleep last night?". To me, it is one of these moments where you can see and feel what Kurt is really thinking about all this greed and big money in the entertainment industry, it is not the only time he makes similar cynical statements during the evening. Kurt was a huge fan of LeadBelly and in the banter before the song Kurt japes about allegedly getting an offer from the "Lead Belly Estate" for a guitar owned by LeadBelly - for 500k. I am pretty sure Kurt is covering the version by Blues and Folk singer Huddie William Ledbetter better known as "Lead Belly", a plantation born musician with a volatile temper who even had to spend time in prison for killing a relative. One of the many reasons that makes "Unplugged" so amazing is the fact that you have this absurdly successful band known for walls of drums and distortion just sit down with acoustic instruments and play some of their favorite tunes from (at least partly) comparatively unknown or not-so-famous-anymore artists.įrom what I have read "In the Pines" is actually an old folk / blues tunes and there are many variations of the lyrics, at times with slightly different content or different parts of the same story. It is crazy how timelessly great "Nirvana" really were, probably much more than people even appreciated back then. Looking back now on "Unplugged" after all the tons of music I have been listening to over the years, it is an album I really re-discovered and it has grown on me so much more now that I am older and think I understand at least a little more about music and art in general.
