Best unplugged live


I'm listening to Alice in Chains unplugged MTV. Great performance and recorded perfectly. I miss that show. Stripped and seated, I love the concept.

Newbie here, sorry for popping in. I own several MTV unplugged CDs, and most of them are extremely well recorded (IMO)....here are some recommendations

MTV Unplugged - 10,000 maniacs (With David Byrne on a 3 tracks)

MTV Unplugged - Alice in Chains

Unplugged - Neil Young

MTV Unplugged - Florence & The Machine

MTV Unplugged - Pearl Jam

MTV Unplugged (UK) - Stone Temple Pilots (with Scott Weiland, very hard to find)

MTV Unplugged - Alanis Morissette

Unplugged and Seated (Having a Party) - Rod Stewart with Ronnie Wood

In Concert/MTV Plugged - Bruce Springsteen

No Quarter (MTV Unleaded) - Page and Plant

Unplugged (Live at Hull City Hall) - Liam Gallagher

 

Not MTV unplugged, but a favorite live recording Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus

+1 on 'Rust Never Sleeps' by Neil Young & The Crazy Horse.

+1 on 'MTV Unplugged' by 10,000 Maniacs

I also really like 'The Hits Unplugged' by Foreigner.  Very well done.

Disclaimer #1: I have been a Neil Young fan since “After The Gold Rush” was imprinted onto my 14 year-old brain. Disclaimer #2, I have listened to perhaps a half dozen of the series. On Neil’s unplugged album, the pared down approach fit his music perfectly. He played “Like A Hurricane” on a pump organ in the style of a haunted sea shanty. That recording still speaks to me. 
 

I liked the Nirvana and Eric Clapton recordings also.
