In this inaugural episode of Once Every Two Weeks, Mark Ricks and Thom Crowe discuss the revolutionary impact of Nirvana's iconic 1994 MTV Unplugged in New York. They explore the risks the band took in creating a set that looked "exactly like a funeral" and Kurt Cobain's insistence on the lesser known Meat Puppets to join the performance. Tune in to this podcast to hear an in-depth discussion and retrospective of the album
