Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (Live)

"The Man Who Sold the World" is a song by David Bowie. It is the title track of his third album, released in the U.S. in November 1970 and in the UK in April 1971. It was later re-popularised and introduced to a new generation by Nirvana's cover on their MTV Unplugged in New York album. In the wake of this cover, Bowie bemoaned the fact that when he performed the number himself he would encounter "kids that come up afterwards and say, 'It's cool you're doing a Nirvana song.' And I think, 'Fuck you, you little tosser!'" (Thanks Wikipedia)

Great post, Zifnab. I have this on an ancient cd that is worn out, especially on this song. This is probably my favorite most excellent cover of this song, and what a performance! Bittersweet to see this.

One of my favourate songs. I prefer the live bowie version myself. Cant say Im much of a Nirvana fan, although I can play a couple of their songs on drums. I respect what they've done for/to music.

A video length identical to the current length was specified - ignoring length request by eric3579.

I find meatbag eric3579 to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by eric3579.
