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.

@vthokie83  - Newbie here, sorry for popping in.

Welcome to AudiogoN! No reason to be sorry. Everyone has a first post and your input is welcome. Hope to see you around. AudiogoN is billed as "The High End Audio Community", however many of the most popular threads are music related. Feel free to post or comment on any of the audio equipment threads or any of the music threads.

 

Thank you for the warm welcome, I'll be seeing you guys around the threads....first time posting, but I've been lurking getting ideas for the last 6 months or so.

I am remodeling the first floor of my house, and am replacing almost all of my gear. The agreement with my wife, just get rid of my floor standing Thiel 3.6 speakers (she thinks they are ugly) and go to bookshelfs....and she's good with it. Not sure she had any clue of the consequences of that statement, but I will have to hide the sub somewhere.

@vthokie83  - Wow, replacing Thiel 3.6 floorstanders with bookshelf speakers is going to be a tough one, and possibly/probably expensive! Good luck with it. Are you going to also try to integrate a subwoofer into the system? Have you seen the (very popular) Thiel Speaker thread here on AudiogoN? You might want to post on that thread asking for input on replacements.

Curious if you have started a list of potential replacement bookshelf speakers? 

Anyway, good luck, and enjoy the music.

Nirvana & Alice In Chains

More of a departure, presentation-wise, than the other Unplugged shows, thereby providing a more interesting take on their music.  The fact that, in both cases, the shows were so good speaks to the quality of their songwriting.  The cello in Nirvana’s case was beautiful, and the live vocal harmonies really shone in both cases (but especially Alice In Chains)

Hearing Nirvana do Bowie, Vaselines, Meat Puppets and Leadbelly is another plus.
