1990s - #6: While MTv Unplugged had aired since 1989, it became “the show to do” in 1991 thanks to Paul McCartney’s appearance, which was later released as an album. Show producer Alex Coletti went on to say that had McCartney not released the disc, the concept would have never gained the cult status that it went on to enjoy. The show received another boost in 1992, when Eric Clapton’s taped his January 16 performance for the Unplugged album, featuring an acoustic reworking of Layla. The disc sold 10 million copies and earned 6 Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Rock Male Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song. Later in 1992, John Encampment added his name to the list of rock stars appearing on Unplugged, as captured in this soundboard recording from April 27, 1992, 27 years ago today.

Grateful thanks, Speedy! This looks like a fun concert, and I look forward to hearing it.
Thank you!
Good stuff, thanks Speedy. '92, right around the time John Mellencamp and band were really peaking, in terms of concerts and great songs in the setlists. And this is from about the start of the whole 'unplugged' era, where it seemed obligatory for everyone to to a stripped-down sound-wise show for MTV.
