His version of Lead Belly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" with the "scream" at the end, is his best vocal performance ever. Also, "Lake of Fire" is a great cover tune. I remember watching most of those as they were first shown on MTV.

AIC are awesome and nutshell unplugged is the best.

Correct, but they were the first band to have done the show in one take. Cobain needed the safety net of his disguised pedal board (monitor wedge) at the time. Regardless, they nailed it out of the park.
