Remembering the 90’s show on MTV called “Unplugged” may be a bit difficult so that’s why we relive it right here. Let’s go.
Just like we remember when MTV played music and cut the cord. MTV Unplugged was a television series that showcased the biggest musical artists of the 90s. These musical performances were filmed and recorded in front of small audiences and as the title implies, the bands played acoustic instruments. The sparse stage set-ups, subdued lighting, and acoustic arrangements made for some of the most memorable live performances of the decade. A theater setting is ideal for this presentation. This show will showcase the best of those shows.
