On which Nirvana live album did the band perform “The Man Who Sold the World”?

Nirvana performed “The Man Who Sold the World” on MTV Unplugged in New York.

Nirvana recorded the performance for MTV Unplugged in New York on November 18, 1993, at Sony Music Studios in New York City. The set was later released as a live album on November 1, 1994, after Kurt Cobain’s death.

The performance became famous for its unusual song choices, restrained arrangements, and lack of a conventional encore. “The Man Who Sold the World,” written by David Bowie, was one of the covers included in the set and became closely associated with Nirvana’s acoustic-era legacy.

From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah is a different live compilation, assembled from several concerts. Live at Reading documents Nirvana’s 1992 performance in England. Neither contains the specific MTV Unplugged performance that made this cover especially memorable.
