Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
The extended vowel sound that you were asking about is called a howl or a yodel. Very common in old cowboy country music songs. Hope that helps you understand
Nirvana's MTV 'Unplugged' performance is considered one of the greatest in the network's & rock history... It was also a different format, because bands and artist who did the show would be filmed and recorded playing their hits w/ acoustic guitars, and they would do a few takes and then air the best performances. Nirvana refused to do that - they would play the 'Unplugged' set in 1 go like a regular concert. Unlike other bands, Nirvana would play their obscure songs that no one knew, like... 'About a girl'... 'On a plain'... 'Pennyroyal Tea'... and cover songs that were not famous at the time by The Vaselines, Meat Puppets, and David Bowie. This cover of blues artist Leadbelly "Where did you sleep last night" was the final song of the set... the MTV producers asked Kurt to do an encore, but he refused ("I can't top that one," he replied). There were also issues when Nirvana rehearsed for 'Unplugged'... Kurt was unhappy w/ how the band sounded and kept telling drummer Dave Grohl that he was hitting the drums too hard. Worried that Kurt would cancel the show, a producer handed Grohl a pair of brushes to play the drums with, and Kurt immediately lit up. That was the sound he wanted... and the set came together very quickly after that.
You left out the part where his stomach issues were really bad and he was going to cancel the concert but someone found a guy to get some Heroin and shot up before the performance to kill the pain.
He adds a small tiny twist of yodeling into his vocals on this song. This is the BEST of all the MTV's unplugged performances. Only "slightly" edging out Alice in Chains. Pure MAGNIFICANCE.
One of the most haunting performances of all time. You can hear the pain in his voice. Kurt was so good at putting emotion in his singing. The MTV unplugged concert series are just amazing. You need to check out more MTV unplugged from Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Eric Clapton.
This is my favourite Nirvana performance EVER! I was so pleased when 'Nirvana Unplugged' was released as an album. This is IMO the best song on there, even though it was a cover - Kurt's voice & charisma took it to a whole new level - the way he gasped & looked up in the last line - haunting, brings me to tears every time. Kurt was a gentle but troubled soul who hated fame; I was deeply affected by his tragic death, but what a wonderful legacy he left us........I wish he'd got to see his daughter grow up. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain 💔 PS the song is over 100 years old - recorded under different titles including 'In The Pines' and 'Black Girl' - Leadbelly recorded it in the 1940's. I think it will always be Kurt's song now due to this performance🖤
I heard the news of Kurt's death while in class at high school, I broke down crying, ran out of class and ran home to see if the news was true. I cried for days. Nirvana changed my life. I still tear up thinking about him now. This song is hard for me to listen to. Any fanatical Nirvana fan will know why.
I 100% agree except I was still in middle school. Unfortunately I think we’ve lost something in our memory of Kurt. This video and this performance gets a lot of focus because of the pain on display, and rightfully so. It was heartbreaking. But what made Kurt so special to those of us who were there for that awesome time was the everything on display in this performance. His brilliance, his pain, but also what a shy silly dork he was when he wasn’t shining through performance.
He was a very very very down to the ground person, humble , a truly gentle heart and you can tell it by the way he out his pain and emotions in his music, specially this track
The guitar Kurt's playing sold for 6 million.. He didn't scream like a professional singer would.. perfect pitch etc.. he screamed like he was being murdered.. it was real, scary and beautiful ❤
Kurt put twang into his voice in this song. He had such a rough, raspy voice but it had so much emotion into it. His music had a profound affect on me growing up. I was 14 when Kurt was found dead (I do not believe he committed suicide) and it rattled me so much because I felt his music through & through my entire body, deep into my soul. There will never be another man like him and he is sorely missed!!!
It's really cool that Dave Ghrol was the drummer of Nirvana, and when Kurt Cobain passed away, Dave formed one of the biggest groups in music called The foo fighters!
One of the most haunting performances of all time. You can hear the pain in his voice. Kurt was so good at putting emotion in his singing. My fav song fro. This concert is Man Who Sold The World. It is a David Bowie cover but it blows the original out of the park. The MTV unplugged concert series are just amazing. You need to check out more MTV unplugged from Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Eric Clapton.
had this album on cassette as a teen. First time I heard those blasting power notes, I felt like a was being electrocuted by emotion. Still gets me to this day.
The entire MTV Unplugged Session with Nirvana was absolutely incredible. Try to watch it if you can. no reaction, just for the music. Also try to remember the face of the drummer :-) You might see him again in some other reactions.
Thank you for not cutting the video short like many reactors tend to do! I love seeing people's reaction to the autograph signing. It really shows you how chill and appreciative he was
Bisscute i highly suggest you watch the whole concert . This is still the best unplugged concert to me .. Its worth watching it all.. Great reaction , and thank you for doing this song . have an amazing day .
@@BisscuteReacts Yes !! epic full concert. Even if its not for youtube . its one of those got to see concerts in full . I obviously have been a fan for a long time ,i think you would truly enjoy it . Once again have a great day , and thank you for responding . Cheers
RIP Kurt Cobain. An incredible cover done by an incredible artist. A friend of mine saw Nirvana in concert while he was in High School. He swears, to this day, that Kurt had the loudest voice he's ever heard.
Kurt, Chester, Chris ... so many of the great ones have left us. Thanks for reacting to this. I hope you can take a look at Chris Cornell doing "Nothing Compares 2 U" - the SiriusXM version, its amazing!
I always think of the Irony of Kurt talking about how expensive Lead Belly’s guitar is and low & behold the exact one he’s playing with recently sold for $6+million at auction..:)
"Pennyroyal tea", "Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam" and "All apologies" are other highlights from this show - or rather the whole show was one long, hauntingly beautiful and bittersweet highlight.
Will never be another Kurt Cobain, not the most technical singer but he had that unique voice to where he didn't have to be. He was one of those you just had to be alive to know kinda guys but it is awesome to see he's still getting some love. He was compared to John Lennon lyrically and changed the sound of rock. Very important impactful person
Kurt had the ability to do a small yodel in this song. I recently watched a Top 10 Europe where a young lady performed an entire yodeling song. Amazing thing to see these days.
The increase in tempo throughout the song I believe is showing how the conversation with the woman in the song is going…it starts off calmly but as the singer/narrator isn’t pleased with the response he’s getting from the woman in the song it becomes a scream at the end…this whole Nirvana Unplugged concert might be worth checking out…it has a lot good performances and interactions with the crowd…
Love how u paused in the exact place before he got to the harder part, I had the biggest smile thinking "oh she's gonna get a nice surprise when she unpauses" :D I think the musical term for the sound he made with his voice is "that kewl kurt cobain voice sound", or probably not but it sounds grungy :)
well, i have something to say: you, miss bisscute, you are the sweetest little thing, i have ever seen in my very dark life, it's always like a little sparkle of sunshine, to watch one of your reactions... greetings from germany...
@@BisscuteReacts i Do also have a good Suggestion for reacting, it's the Band Heilung, which means healing in english, the title of one of their newest Songs is anoana, i think you will love this Song so much as i do
Kurt Cobain was like a 90s version of John Lennon. So raw, so authentic, so unpretentious. Rock needed to get back to that after it got real cheesy in the 80s.
I grew up knowing this song when it was called 'Black Girl' by The Four Pennies in 1964. It was also known as 'In The Pines' & 'My Girl' too, way back in the old days :)
In country music, the sound in his voice you’re referring to would be called “twang.” Nirvana’s unplugged album is still probably my all time favorite. Thanks for a great reaction!

I highly suggest you hear Sleeping Tonight by Mary Spender. It will totally blow your mind because, it's not by my side!!!
The extended vowel sound that you were asking about is called a howl or a yodel. Very common in old cowboy country music songs. Hope that helps you understand
The point at the end when Kurt pauses and looks directly into the audience give me chills every single time!
7:48 chills every single time, especially when you know the background story at that time.
YES. I'm convinced we're seeing his soul.
Jesus, if i see this comment one more time under a reaction video im going to cry
@@BadDubII k
Ojos del alma cansada
No matter how many times I hear this song, it never fails to give me chills.
It's such a shame that the world lost this young man.
A tortured soul gone at 27 years old. 😔

And yet. They refuse to put this out of blu-ray.
"Pennyroyal Tea" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" kill me every time there is just so much heart and soul in these performances.
You left out the part where his stomach issues were really bad and he was going to cancel the concert but someone found a guy to get some Heroin and shot up before the performance to kill the pain.
@@ashleysmith91 That was a rumor. Never substantiated.
and because of that we all love the obscure songs since then
Kurt has a singing style that starts off more introspective and then suddenly explodes, I've always loved that.
That break in his voice is like a "Yodel". It's like a crack where for a split second it switches to falsetto then back to normal chest voice.
Very American and I like it! 👍
Its twang and yodel mixed
Nirvana was the best unplugged set on MTV . This song always gives me chills.
This man, this man was a real artist and deserves to be called that way, what a performance they gave!
Amazing performance ❤
He adds a small tiny twist of yodeling into his vocals on this song.
This is the BEST of all the MTV's unplugged performances. Only "slightly" edging out Alice in Chains. Pure MAGNIFICANCE.
This and Alice In Chains was very close, Pearl Jam was very good too
That man was put on this planet to give that performance.
'Thank you, dear God, for putting me on this Earth. I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst."
One of the most haunting performances of all time. You can hear the pain in his voice. Kurt was so good at putting emotion in his singing. The MTV unplugged concert series are just amazing. You need to check out more MTV unplugged from Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Eric Clapton.
I would add 10,000 Maniacs and Neil Young to those you listed.
"Kurt smacked me in the face with surprise." That about sums it up. I enjoy your reactions Bisscute.

Most singers sing like people want to feel. Kurt sings like people feel.
All Apologies and their cover of The Man who Sold the World by David Bowie from this set were also awesome.
Absolutely

Possibly one of the Best unplugged Shows Ever and bittersweet 😕Kurt Actually put the stage together and said make it look like a Funeral🌹🙏rip
"i'm going where the cold wind blows...." man, what a line
His voice is making a yodel, it's beautiful

Nirvana is the one of my fav bands .. kurt was a amazing artist ..great band great performance #RIPKURT
Chills every damn time. Especially when he opens his eyes and takes a breath at the end.
Bisscute i highly suggest you watch the whole concert . This is still the best unplugged concert to me .. Its worth watching it all.. Great reaction , and thank you for doing this song . have an amazing day .
Thank you, whole concert you say? Maybe someday ❤️
@@BisscuteReacts Yes !! epic full concert. Even if its not for youtube . its one of those got to see concerts in full . I obviously have been a fan for a long time ,i think you would truly enjoy it . Once again have a great day , and thank you for responding . Cheers
I had concert tickets for Nirvana in 1994 but Kurt passed away before it. It still makes me sad I didn't manage to see them live.
this song pull beside me ,,, since teenager till now ,,, and every listen this song ,,, huftttt speechless
Leadbelly guitar eventually sold for several million dollars. The guitar Kurt is playing here sold for 6 million after his death
The Teen Spirit Fender Mustang also sold for $6mil recently. Crazy!
The sweater sold for $334000
And he almost smashed it to bits at the end here.
I nearly screamed “OH NO” 🤦♂ Biss paused as Kurt was about to let rip. Bissy 😒
Lovely reaction as always
RIP Kurt Cobain. An incredible cover done by an incredible artist. A friend of mine saw Nirvana in concert while he was in High School. He swears, to this day, that Kurt had the loudest voice he's ever heard.
This is a mix of two old blues songs that are so old they're public domain. The first recording was around 1928.
Kurt, Chester, Chris ... so many of the great ones have left us. Thanks for reacting to this. I hope you can take a look at Chris Cornell doing "Nothing Compares 2 U" - the SiriusXM version, its amazing!
You forgot Layne
5:35. Epic pause! Couldn’t be more precise! I’m hoping for a back tap, but we’ll see. If not, there is no way you could have known.
the most honest interpretation of Leadbelly's country/blues classic I've ever heard......R.I.P., Kurt
I always think of the Irony of Kurt talking about how expensive Lead Belly’s guitar is and low & behold the exact one he’s playing with recently sold for $6+million at auction..:)
That's why Dave is chill, one of the best humans on this world 🤘🏽🤘🏽
This such a amazing song. Kurt was so talented. It's such a shame we lost him so early. I think of this as a country song just by it style.
Rip respect and love for cobain -NIRVANA.
"Pennyroyal tea", "Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam" and "All apologies" are other highlights from this show - or rather the whole show was one long, hauntingly beautiful and bittersweet highlight.
You should listen to "Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam" from the same show, people tend to not mention it but it's freaking beautiful
I love that song ♥️
So great, and I love seeing David Grohl totally anonymous back there on the drums..
My favorite song
Kurt talks about how Lead Belly’s guitar was $500,000. Kurt’s guitar from this performance recently sold for $6 million
Will never be another Kurt Cobain, not the most technical singer but he had that unique voice to where he didn't have to be. He was one of those you just had to be alive to know kinda guys but it is awesome to see he's still getting some love. He was compared to John Lennon lyrically and changed the sound of rock.

It's almost like a yodeling, that sound you referred to him making
I Miss Kurt and Nirvana a lot
Kurt had the ability to do a small yodel in this song. I recently watched a Top 10 Europe where a young lady performed an entire yodeling song. Amazing thing to see these days.
I dont think we will ever see talent and vocals like this again.
the guitar he used in this unplugged session sold at an auction for over 5 million dollars btw.
A little Nashville nasal country in that delivery? Epic performance for the ages!
He did amazing
In the pines, where'd you sleep last night 🤘
Absolute perfection. I love this man , more than words xxx
What you're talking about would be called "yodeling" I believe. He adds a slight bit of it in as he sings.
That sounds your talking about is called a yodelling he was damn good at doing it and does it numerous times on this set
Kurt smaked me in the face with a suprise! Damn i laughed out loud for real thare, dident see that comming 🤣
The increase in tempo throughout the song I believe is showing how the conversation with the woman in the song is going…it starts off calmly but as the singer/narrator isn’t pleased with the response he’s getting from the woman in the song it becomes a scream at the end…this whole Nirvana Unplugged concert might be worth checking out…it has a lot good performances and interactions with the crowd…
An “anguished scream” would be pretty accurate.
Love how u paused in the exact place before he got to the harder part, I had the biggest smile thinking "oh she's gonna get a nice surprise when she unpauses" :D
I think the musical term for the sound he made with his voice is "that kewl kurt cobain voice sound", or probably not but it sounds grungy :)
Fantastic reaction video girl.
Uma grande performance ❤❤Amo NIRVANA
Genius, insane vocal.
Does anyone remember the set they done on Top of The Pops? 🤣🤣 fuckin amazing, basically got told to mime it so they just fucked about, was hilarious 😅
I have the whole concert cd and dvd. They are great. The dvd also has behind the scenes stuff that are always sweet to see.
well, i have something to say: you, miss bisscute, you are the sweetest little thing, i have ever seen in my very dark life, it's always like a little sparkle of sunshine, to watch one of your reactions... greetings from germany...
Aweee thank you
@@BisscuteReacts i Do also have a good Suggestion for reacting, it's the Band Heilung, which means healing in english, the title of one of their newest Songs is anoana, i think you will love this Song so much as i do
Esses gritos do final sempre irão me arrepiar de tão emocionante.... Ja ouvi mais de mil vezes mas ainda assim me arrepio lol
The soundvis yoddlling
Such a great cover of this song ‼️🎉
Thanks for the Entertainment 😊
I came here because you are beautiful and listened to Nirvana. I found a gem
Thank you for being here
It was amazing for sure, once in a lifetime performance
Amazing song!!
My favorite band in the early 90s during my university years.
The guitar in Kurt’s hands was sold for $6million !
Such a legend
That singing is a type of yodeling. Some do it stronger than others.
Kurt Cobain was like a 90s version of John Lennon. So raw, so authentic, so unpretentious. Rock needed to get back to that after it got real cheesy in the 80s.
I grew up knowing this song when it was called 'Black Girl' by The Four Pennies in 1964.
It was also known as 'In The Pines' & 'My Girl' too, way back in the old days :)
Also called 'Long Train'.
I think it will always be Kurt's song now due to this performance🖤
3:36 its called a voice crack and yeah Kurt would use it very often and make it sound amazing
I wish he was still with us.
The look on your face was great 😊
Watching this again, cuz it was so great a reaction.☺️
Love the accent, could listen to you roll your “r” s all day!.. 😂👍
Your accent gives you away 💯1️⃣🌄🇦🇺👂🏻⭐️🌟
"This sound, that his voice is making, it's like... meoww" lol
4:41 - "....shiver for me...."
it's called yodelling...where you shift your voice from chest to head and back, really fast.
you know the drummer here of Nirvana, is the lead singer, guitarist for the Foo Fighters? huge band of the last 20years.
Fantastic reaction! I’ve seen this so many times, it was nice to just watch and listen to you react to it.
Great voice! Noise and powerfull
The term you’re looking for is a yodel. And he was amazing at it while adding rasp to it, and it always seemed effortless for him. RIP Kurt
Saw this band live in concert
Nice beautiful song!!!
Right?❤️
In country music, the sound in his voice you’re referring to would be called “twang.” Nirvana’s unplugged album is still probably my all time favorite. Thanks for a great reaction!
Drummer is Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters so is the guitarist on red white and blue guitar (Pat Smear)
Unique vocal
Huddie ‘Leadbelly’ Ledbetter was great. He released a song called Mr. Hitler in 1942, during WW2, saying “We’re gonna tear Hitler down someday.”
Kurt is yodeling that's the word you were looking for it was very subtle but that's what he is doing with his voice
