Greatest acoustic performances?

[jack99]

I love to listen to these type acoustic sessions. It kind of shows another side of the artist. I would have loved to see old Gnr doing a show on VH1 Storytellers.

Well, I've probably forgot some shows in the polls but my votes goes to Nirvana (MTV) and Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson (VH1)

Havnt really seen much of the storytellers but unplugged is always awesome, nirvana, alice in chains and elton john all do brilliant sets but my fav is eric claptons, brilliant band with him (the awesome chuck leavell on keyboards for one? and he covers leadbelly and robert johnson as well as that brilliant reworking of layla

I've only seen/heard the live, nirvana and Bob Dylan unplugged shows. Normally I hate Nirvana, but their unplugged show was pretty good. But I voted for live at this one.

For the storytellers I voted Bruce Springsteen.

Unledded by far. The first time in fifteen years Jimmy and Robert played a complete set together. The song No Quarter filmed in the mountains with just Robert and Jimmy on acoustic/electric is amazing. Thank You rocks as well as City Don't Cry. Every song is great. The mighty Zep paved the way for unplugged by starting to play an 5 or 6 song acoustic set during each show in the early to mid 70's. Guns did the same thing on the Dust and Bones tour.

Neil Young is great unplugged.

[Genesis]

I've got the two appearences by the Counting Crows, which I love.

[usjc001]

Alice in Chains unplugged was the best i have seen...nirvana was good, but not even close to Alice in chains.

You can still buy alice in chains dvd at best buy, etc...

Exactly.

[New Rose]

Alice In Chains was fucking fantastic. Have the show and I absolutely love it! Eric Claptons unplugged is fantastic too, but nothing beats AiC.

[J.T]

Nirvana unplugged..

There`s a special vibe that i can`t explain..

[MrBrownstone531]

Def Leppard's acoustic verison of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" from Storytellers is phenomenal.

[Shearaxl]

I liked Jeremy the best Vedders voice is awesome!

[highvoltage]

Aerosmith have a pretty cool MTV unplugged session. I'd be interested to hear Alice In Chains' too.
