1993-11-17 - New York, NY - MTV Unplugged

[Hoodstock]

I thought they were short changed by not recieving more time to perform.  Also, wasn't a huge fan of the rocking chair.

I recently became re-obsessed with STP's "Unplugged" performance, and decided to try and get all of the songs in CD quality.

So far, I got "Andy Warhol" & "Crackerman" from the "Vasoline" CD single, and "Sex Type Thing" from the "Plush" CD single. I also have "Wicked Garden" from the "Thank You" DVD.

I know there's a torrent floating around that has all of the tracks, and I have a "DVD Quality" video, but do any of the "Unplugged" tracks appear on CD singles or DVD's that I haven't found yet?

i bought one off ebay last year sounds great

I bought the "Motor Oil" bootleg back in the mid 90s, and the sound quality is phenomenal. It is missing "Big Empty" & "Andy Warhol" (Hell, I didn't even know they did that one at Mtv)...

I stand corrected, having received "Plush" in the mail today. I guess "Sex Type Thing (Swing Version)" is a studio recording, not from "Unplugged."

So, the revised question is, Are any of the Unplugged tracks available anywhere besides the "Vasoline" single?

On official releases, no

I just found a complete torrent, sound quality is alot better than I expected. Unplugged has always been one of my favorite performances

[CMCracker]

i know atlanta sounds like the cd thats how awesome scott is

[erichoholic2k1]

I have a couple different "STP Unplugged" collections downloaded, so I assume I have what's out there (the Unplugged/Storytellers/etc collection).

Oh well. Even if they haven't officially released the "Unplugged" set, it was a nice surprise to come across the studio "swing" version of "Sex Type Thing. Never knew it existed!

[Art School Boy]

yeah its hard to get your hands on all of them. but where can i even find some of these cd singles?

[Art School Boy]

i think they should redo it. thats all there is to it haha. i would pay good money for that rocking chair.

[dskpilots]

That would be great if they were to do a full complete acoustic set.  Definitely out of the ordinary and would be great to include some of the newer tunes.  That could really get interesting.

I like STP's unplugged very much. Interesting set list (and I hope to hear "Sin") And awesome version of "Wicked Garden" and they first play "Big Empty"... Maybe MTV will produce official complete video.

[erichoholic2k1]

If STP were to "redo" the Unplugged performance, or update it with a new acoustic show, I'd hope they wouldn't go with the obvious tunes ("Creep", "Big Empty"). The highlights of the original "Unplugged" were the re-worked versions of "Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden", in my opinion.

[adhesive-love]

I like STP's unplugged but I don't think it's amazing or anything. It's a basic unplugged; They go in there, play the "hits", a cover, and one or two other songs. The performance of Big Empty though was awesome, and I enjoyed Creep unplugged a lot.

Best Unplugged ever? Nirvana. Easy.
