Based on the MTV Unplugged television series, MTV Unplugged CD-ROM features more than 70 artists with bios, video footage, and photographs from more than 50 MTV Unplugged performances. Superstars like Elton John, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen take the stage as do successful groups like Aerosmith, Nirvana and Live. The "vault" contains film footage, interviews, sound bites, producer's notes, set lists, and the date of each performance.
Navigation of the program is mouse-driven, and performances can be sorted by date or artist's name. As a bonus, several never-aired, unreleased performances include songs by Paul McCartney, Lenny Kravitz and 10,000 Maniacs. Artists discuss topics such as the acoustic style of their music and the production of songs, while set designers and directors give insights into the staging process. Additional features include rehearsals, behind-the-scenes videos and interviews, and a database containing information about every MTV Unplugged show.
In the mood to listen to and watch some of your favorite artists perform "acoustic style"? If so, turn the lights low, the sound up, and plug into MTV Unplugged CD-ROM.
