He allows the song’s protagonist to meet his doppelgänger and share the odd moment, offering Cobain the chance to crack open the door to his feelings of the time. It’s a theme which Cobain delivers perfectly with his vocal. Nirvana’s stripped-back cover was an authentic tribute to the song but also an honest interpretation of the track’s content. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool.”

He showcased a different side to himself which many were unaware existed and were on full show when Nirvana covered David Bowie song ‘The Man Who Sold The World’.īowie was even in awe by Nirvana’s cover, saying: “I was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering ‘The Man Who Sold the World’.” The Starman, ever the lover of any art, added: “It was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. The session is noted for being one of Kurt Cobain’s last acts before his tragic death, putting in arguably the most iconic performance of his entire career and the acoustic setting left his vulnerabilities nowhere to hide. Nirvana’s 1993 MTV Unplugged session is the definitive performance in the history of the programme. Robert Plant isn’t, traditionally speaking, a person who likes to look backwards, so MTV Unplugged was a perfect opportunity to put a new, acoustic twist on a Led Zeppelin reunion. We talked about the MTV thing and decided to see where we could take it.” We had this understanding again without doing or saying anything. Then mysteriously Jimmy turned up at a gig I was playing in Boston and it was like those difficult last days of Led Zep had vanished. But I knew that I couldn’t be seen to be holding the flag for the Zeppelin legacy on TV. Then I was approached by MTV to do an Unplugged session. Robert Plant later recollected how the reunion came about: “By that time I didn’t feel like I was even a rock singer anymore. It was now a cultural institution, people were desperate to take part, and having two-thirds of Led Zeppelin’s surviving members joining forces at London Studios helped cement MTV Unplugged’s legacy. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and Robert Plant reuniting to do an MTV Unplugged session showed the weight of importance that the programme had gained.
