    Pity about the retard that's whooping and hollering all the way through The Needle and the Damage Done on Unplugged. As Q magazine said at the time, given the strength of the set, his idiocy should haunt him for years. I don't like the Harvest Moon songs, but they are nicely counterbalanced by Stringman, Transformer Man and Like a Hurricane.
    I've noticed that the BBC Four repeats of that archive Neil Young performance are edited. There is a longer version that they broadcast on BBC2 when Sleeps With Angels was released, and there's much more talking on it. Shame they have to cut it, presumably for time constraints.

    mtv unplugged did have some amazing performances on it, dont think they do it anymore, which is a shame. this verve performance is one of the best i've ever seen on the unplugged series(although not technically unplugged). nicks guitar playing in this is the reason i picked up a guitar, absolutely amazing

    Well, with so much electronic music mainstream these days and those horrible auto-tune vocals, it wouldn't really be the same :(

    Yeah they still do it, so far I've seen Korn, 30 seconds to mars and Paramore. The only good one was Korn, Paramore and 30stm were pretty uninteresting.. Just doesn't have the same feel to it like AIC, Nirvana etc did.
