Pearl Jam by @rollingstone ""#PearlJam were just beginning to get noticed nationally when they shot their 'MTV Unplugged' special on March 16th, 1992. Their debut album, 'Ten,' had been on shelves since the previous August, though they'd only released a lone single in America and the LP was sitting under the likes of Mr. Big and Ugly Kid Joe on the Billboard album chart. But 'Alive' was getting a lot of radio play, they'd just wrapped up a now-legendary tour with Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and it was clear they were about to absolutely explode.... They'd played a few brief acoustic sets by this point, but nothing of this magnitude. Nearly every song from 'Ten' made it into the set, along with a cover of Neil Young's 'Rockin' in the Free World.' 'It forces you to play differently,' said guitarist Mike McCready. 'You can't rely on feedback. It forces you to use dynamics, and to look at each song in a different way. Some songs turned out good acoustically, and some just didn't quite happen. I didn't think "Even Flow" was any good.' But the group's performance of 'Black' was nothing short of amazing..." From RollingStone.com.
