    Which following?

    Of the ones I've seen I'd say AIC. 'Over now' is classic.

    Alice in chains, pearl jam, page and plant and nirvanas


    They should bring unplugged back and have it like it was back in the day. it always seemed like a very big deal when a band did an unplugged session.

    I heard the pearl jam were offered to do another in 2000 but declined. it would be cool to have another with the wealth of material they have or indeed a ben harper unplugged session

    Clapton's was great. AIC was great. Nirvana was great. PJ's was great. Neil Young's was alright. I haven't seen or heard any others though, so that's about it.

    Pearl Jam, AIC, Staind

    Nirvana's Unplugged in New York is the best Unplugged CD.

    Alice In Chains is amazing as well.

    I would have to say either AIC or Clapton. Both are fucking brilliant.

    Pearl Jam's Unplugged kicked ass, and Alice in Chains' performance was really close!!!

    Does anyone have a link they can give me so I can listen to Live's Unplugged performance?

    Neil Young, if you know the rest of the story.

    Neil and the guys hired to play with him showed up and played, and Neil was erked at how bad they sounded, so they played one song 3 times in a row, and finally Neil walked out, MTV got Neil to reschedule and the second go round went great.

    Neil is the man.

    Nirvana just because of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? and the Man Who Sold the World. PJ is right behind it with the amazing version of Black and I love the RITFW. I think they should have played Wash. I think that would have added some more amazingness.
    32 shows and counting...

    Nirvana..great choices for covers, breathtakingly intense performance from Kurt Cobain, and the quality of their songs in the acoustic setting was something no one had seen before..they were'nt just a band about feedback and smashing guitars.

    Alice in Chains right behind it...pretty awesome versions of their songs, very bluesy...actually, the unplugged got me into AIC
