does anybody know where i can get a copy of the MTV unplugged songs?
I bought the video on ebay for $50 (AU) and as greatful as i am to have a copy of this on dodgy VHS... I would love to know if i can get it on CD or DVD... I don't know if it was ever realeased other than on TV (because i'm in Australia).. and the last time they aired it on TV that i saw was in 1992!!
I did own a copy of it back then but my mother decided to tape over it in about 1996 and it took me from then until 6 months ago to find a copy on VHS...Please Please Please help me

    Hey there fellow Aussie, join the club. There are millions of us PJ fans who would dearly love that show to be released on DVD. All I have is a bad VHS copy of it which I recorded off a cable TV music channel in 1997 plus a download which I got from an internet music sharing site which is now defunct.

    and the sadest thing is that i'm too scared to watch my VHS to often incase my dodgy old VCR chews it!! I'm going to have to make multiple copies to put into storage hehe

    howdy. I have the whole thing on my computer in a decent resolution too. If you use the right p2p software it isn't hard to find. I couldn't find the concert as a whole, single file... but i've downloaded all of the songs seperately and i made an mpeg cd of it which plays on our dvd player downstairs. it is possible! They're crystal clear pictures and the sound quality is good, just like that of an mp3 really.

    I never thought that much of PJ's unplugged session. I thought it was lame compared to Nirvana's. I'm not a huge nirvana fan but their unplugged session touched me and urged me to read about kurt and get into the band. its amazing. I originally went on the hunt for 'state of love and trust' unplugged because eddie's vocal blows me away on that. and i stumbled accross them all eventually.... its a good show but i think they could have employed a little more creativity and maybe altered the songs or tried new ones. I hate the way they play porch..... because they try and play it the same way they do with massive amps and electric guitars. an acoustic set shouldn't be like that..... they should have toned it down and 'accoustified it' just like nirvana did with 'come as you are' and 'penny royal tea'.

    anyway, enough of my bickering!

    I have the video on VHS too. I have all the music files on my computer. If all you need is the music let me know!!

    Lies. Nirvana's Unplugged is far superior. :3

    I'd have to agree that Nirvana unplugged is pretty awsome...
    But i have that on Vhs and CD already.

    I absolutly love Stone Temple Pilots Unplugged too.
    Their studio CD's just don't compare.

    Well, it isn't much help, but I did see a Pearl Jam DVD in Target a week or two back. I live in Victoria, though, but Electronics Botique (If there's one near you) may have it.
    Farewell and Goodnight.

    I doubt it would have been an unplugged dvd in the store.
    I have their other 3 dvds.. was probably one of those..
    I've never heard of that electronic place, might have to check it out.
    Do you know if they have a website? I live in the stix so i order most my stuff off the internet.

    Which proves annoyingly hard to get anything off. I'm not sure about a website, but try Google or your favourite search engine. It's sure to come up somewhere. They've got some fairly unique things, so it's always worth a shot.
    Farewell and Goodnight.

    totally agree with you about 'porch'
    State of love and trust is the main reason i love it sooo much
    It's my favourite song ever.. but the studio version just doesn't have as much oomf.. Eddie sings with so much passion in all of the songs on unplugged. The songs aren't neccisarily the best versions, but the enthusiasm he sings with really gets you pumped.

    i have it on dvd. the one with bit torrent. After looking at this thread last week I thought it might be a good idea to put all the unplugged mpegs i had onto a dvd making a VCD. it plays on my dvd player fine and the sound quality is pretty darn good too...... the bittorrent version is the whole kaboodle too...... its got everything... their are 10 minute breaks between some of the songs where the band just chat with audience and stuff. its a really good watch. i found the videos pretty easy to find too. didn't take me too long... and i made myself a nice dvd. its a wonder that others haven't done the same...

    .... if there was some way i could perhaps get a copy to you...... ?

    hmmmmm

    its eddie's voice that i love too. it makes the unplugged set enjoyable. I just wish the band weren't so darn boring at the session...... you'd think they'd make an effort to be a little bit creative with their acousitc instruments. but hey... i love it all the same! Ed rocks! I'm a hardcore fan..... but that makes me an honest fan too ;-)

    I like Porch on unplugged thats the first version I ever heard, and thats what made me like it.

    I found the unplugged dvd at a record store last week. It just happened to be in the used dvd section (rhino records, claremont ca). I can't believe you guys who don't like porch. The whole performance is great imo. I've seen it for sale on ebay.
    OBAMA BABY

    thats my fave porch recording. but i understand why u guys dont like it.

    i have all the mp3s of the session, and also all the vids, but theyre pretty shit quality vids.

    nice, the unplugged is one of my favourite pearl jam moments. solat, porch and black are immense. i have a great bootleg copy of it on cd, with all the inbetween song banter aswell, all the stuff that was`nt on the broadcast basically, its pretty cool to hear it the way it happened. if anyone wants a copy just p.m. to let me know, im happy to trade.

    i have also seen quite a few ebay sellers listing the full version on dvd format, just incase if anyone is really keen to own a dvd copy :)
    is there a gesture i could use to clearly express
    i'm at an utter loss for words...
