for Stone Temple Pilots fans, their MTV unplugged was awesome! intimate and stripped down with Scott Weiland on a rocking chair, Dean DeLeo used a 12 stringer..i love their renditions of Crackerman and a swingy version of Sex Type Thing.

Pearl Jam's MTV Unplugged also kicked ass..Dave Abruzzese on drums. total grunge madness. Not forgetting Alice In Chains Unplugged too! the late Layne Stayley's supposed last public appearance/performance before ODing himself to death. Look out for Nutshell, IMO the most depressing song one can ever begin a gig with. heh. :?

I've seen Latin band Mana's unplugged too. bit grand for an unplugged session but nonetheless..gets the job done.
Oye Mi Amor!

 

[SoulJah]

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant - No Quarter.

The best IMHO

Do check it out.

If u guys dun mind pop music, then ur can try out Alanis Morisette & The Corrs too. Great sets. Bryan Adams did one if i din remember wrongly.

i saw Bon Jovi one on MTV b4...even though its unplug...but it still rocks...

Dashboard Confessional's one was pretty good. Best audience participation I've ever seen, but Clapton's unplugged was the best overall in my opinion... Especially when he did a redone version of Layla.

pretty good.
although it looked like Liam has gone missing :lol:

I bought the Corrs Unplugged album, it was awesome to say the least. And Alanis Morrisette's unplugged is good too. I've heard a couple from Alice In Chains, great stuff.

Try Eric Clapton's MTV unplugged or REM

 

[17wil]

any idea where i can find these cds? or videos?

 

[AgingYouth]

REM, The Cure, Maxwell, etc.

 

[Kwerty]

Zakk Wylde - Machine Gun Man <-- DA BOMB!

 

[detroit_red]

ALICE IN CHAINS... Best unplugged stuff ever ...

 

[platypus]

totally agree with GrimBody .. the STP mtv unpluggeds were great.

Fored: i particularly liked the part where they did the Irish instrumental thingy. Interesting.

that pearl jam performance was awesome! even with grainy video and poor sound quality.

you guys might wanna search for VH1 Storytellers on youtube. i remember smashing pumpkins and quite a mind blowing dave matthews band performance (2 acoustic guitars, lead guitarist was superb). Also, google AOL sessions. they used to feature mainly acoustic performances i think.
