There is nothing like a live concert and we are about to talk about the Best Live Albums Of All Time. Personally, MTV made history with the Unplugged Concert Series. This was an acoustic unplugged jam session. And many of these sessions made history when it came to live music. The series first aired on November 26, 1989, featuring Squeeze! One of the biggest if not the biggest ever was Nirvana’s performance on Unplugged was one of the last televised performances by Kurt Cobain, recorded on November 18, 1993, about five months before Cobain’s death.

I don’t know about you but the live performance of a great song is just magic. And when you can relive that moment again, there’s nothing like it. Now being able to relive those songs again on vinyl, now that’s a whole different conversation for a different day!
