Crow received a third Grammy for best new artist. Among the other song selections Crow performed for her ""MTV Unplugged"" performance are ""Leaving Las Vegas,"" ""Strong Enough"" and ""Run Baby Run."" An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""Sheryl's approach to Unplugged was informal and, as always, this helped make the show a very successful one. She really mixed things up, even covering 'D'yer Mak'er' by Led Zeppelin. She was also in good humor and not the least bit self-conscious. She played accordian on her latest hit,

An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""Like the Pearl Jam show, at the time of this booking, Live was still considered to be a risk. Musically, the night confirmed our belief that this band was going to be huge. Possibly a coincidence, but about a week after the show aired, Live went to No. 1. The show's success kept the MTV switchboards buzzing with continual questi

Since their 1993 debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, the Irish quartet, the Cranberries, have been captivating audiences with their unique sound. The band is comprised of frontwoman/lyricist Dolores O'Riordan, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan, and drummer Feargal Lawler. For their debut performance on ""MTV Unplugged,"" The Cranberries performed material off their debut album and latest release No Need To Argue. Song selections included ""Dreaming My Dreams,"" ""Ode To My Family,"" ""Linger,"" Empty"" and ""Zombie."" An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""The strength of The Cranberries is firmly rooted in the power of Dolores O'Riordan's voice. It is an instrument that can be beautiful and whisper-soft at one moment and then suddenly have the piercing power of a bagpipe. Unplugged was therefore an excellent setting for the band and a very special opportunity to hear a voice with so much range in an intimate setting. A string section comprised of violins and guita

""MTV Unplugged"" with Hole was taped at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music in New York City in February of 1995. An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""Offstage, however, preparation was smoother than anyone could have hoped. During rehearsals, Courtney and Madonna (who originally tried to enlist Hole for her record label, Maverick) met for the first time. Not to mention the added dimension of having Drew Barrymore (who dates Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson) and her friend Patricia Arquette in the studio for the taping. It was the most Hollywood presence we'd had since Al Pacino."" Set Li

One of the highlights of this presentation of ""MTV Unplugged"" with Grammy award-winning artist Melissa Etheridge is a surprise appearance by Bruce Springsteen who joins Etheridge for one song. The two perform Springsteen's ""Thunder Road."" Alone on stage with her acoustic guitar, Etheridge rocks the house with a medley of her material, past and present, including her hit single ""Come To My Window,"" which garnered Etheridge a Grammy at the 37th annual Grammy Awards for best female rock vocalist. An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book....""Before any taping, it's important to sit down with an artist and determine just what they hope to accomplish with their set....For Melissa's summit, it was one power lunch - if you can call eating at the MTV cafeteria a power lunch. We simply got our trays, stood in line, and then hashed out all the details at a school lunchroom-style table. We knew then just how unpretentious her Unplugged would end up being.""
