Which album documents Nirvana’s 1993 performance for MTV’s Unplugged series?

Nirvana’s 1993 MTV Unplugged performance is documented on the album MTV Unplugged in New York.

The recording was made at Sony Music Studios in New York City on November 18, 1993, for the television series MTV Unplugged. Unlike many episodes, Nirvana’s set did not focus mainly on its biggest singles. The band performed covers and lesser-known songs alongside tracks such as “About a Girl” and “Come as You Are.”

The album was released on November 1, 1994, several months after Kurt Cobain’s death. It became Nirvana’s first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200. The title is often confused with the band’s 1996 live compilation From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, but that album contains performances from several concerts rather than the complete Unplugged appearance.

The performance is especially noted for its intimate arrangement, unusual cover choices, and lack of a conventional encore.
