Nirvana - All Apologies (MTV Unplugged) YouTube video by NirvanaVEVO

OTD in 1994, the death of Kurt Cobain was announced. Like many events, I remember where I was when I heard the news. Seeing Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains in person at small clubs in Seattle was an experience!
