498.0. "Un-plugged" by WBC::DEADY (Big Time Sensuality) Tue Sep 21 1993 09:21

I am not a big fan of MTV, however, this weeks Unplugged seems to be 
the best 40 minutes of music in an hour I've seen for a while. Last
night was REM and 10,000 Maniacs -- Brilliant. Tonight is Soul Asylum
and Pearl Jam! I love watching artists work in the "unplugged" sessions,
reminds me how much I enjoy live music in clubs vs. CD spinners.(no offense)
Thanks to PAUSE on the vcr, the long and frequent commercials are gone.

I was only able to catch Lulu with Soul Asylum doing "To Sir With Love" ...
great stuff.  How was the rest of the show?  Has Eddie Vedder recovered
from the MTV music video awards, yet?

    re. .2 Both the Soul Asylum and Pearl Jam shows were great. Lulu
    sounded good, her appearance was a plesant surprise. The string
    section that Soul Asylum had was a brilliant addition to their show. 
    Pearl Jam put on a good show as usual. Eddie was having a great time 
    with the format, he seemed right at home. Quite an enjoyable show. I 
    think I'llskip the EC show tonight tho.

    I went to high school with Natalie M.  My girlfriends and used to go
    and watch her at a bar called The Rusty Nail in Jamestown, NY when
    10,000 Maniacs were just starting out.

    Is she as arrogant in real life as she seems to be in interviews ?

    She was actually pretty o.k. through most of high school.  I didn't
    know her very well.  She had her own little croud and kind of kept to
    herself......guess it could have been arrogance after all huh?
                                      
498.9How bout Buffett?MSDOA::PWHEELERGet Yer Ya Yas OutFri Oct 29 1993 16:1311
    
     I read an interview with Jimmy Buffett recently and he 
    wondered why they wouldn't let a guy like him or James Taylor
    do an unplugged. 
    
      Maybe VH1 will let him. I don't know how much MTV thinks
    their audience will want to see him or other non chart toppers
    like Taylor, etc.

498.10What's the point?DREGS::BLICKSTEINDOS BootFri Oct 29 1993 16:187
    Isn't "Jimmy Buffett Unplugged" sorta redundant?
    
    Kinda like "Peter, Paul & Mary Unplugged" or "AC/DC electrified".
    
    I mean, he's basically an acoustic-type act anyway right.

    Actually I wanna see PP&M on "Headbanger's Ball".  The unplugged
    concept is pretty pointless as far as I'm concerned.  Just another
    stupid marketing gimmick from MTV, and they didn't even think of it
    first.  Here in Boston the RAT has been doing "unplugged" shows in its
    balcony area for years, I played one myself about four years ago.
