It certainly is. Truly an excellent album. Worthy acoustic versions of almost all of those songs (and that says a lot seeing as the studio versions are killer) and I don't know if there were any songs I didn't think sounded great. Can't believe I waited so long to add this to my collection.Quote

I don't know, but I love that version of Cut Across Shorty

...Plus LL Cool J, believe it or not -
but that performance was never (officially) released.
There's snippets on Youtube, thoiugh; killer version of "Mama's gonna knock you out", a.o.)

Aerosmith also deserves a mention here, imo. I was taken a back by their acoustic set, although I'm not their greatest fan.

Gasoline Alley, It's All Over Now and Sweet Little Rock'n Roller were used as B-sides to the three singles pulled of Unplugged And Seated.
Check here in 1993: [www.nzentgraf.de]

Does anyone have these non-album tracks?
Thanks for the info. Yeah, I am looking for those B side tracks I guess so if anyone has them I would love to find a way to get them.Quote

I have those three CD singles. I have never seen them on video, though. Such a wonderful performance - and Rod's last really great moment. I still remember watching it on TV on vacation in an apartment in Honolulu and being amazed. The intimacy of the venue, along with Woody's presence, drew a tremendous performance from Rod - alternately joyous and contemplative, you could see the pride he was taking in his performance that night. It even shows in the selection of songs for the evening - it was clear to me that Rod understands perfectly well what his best songs are. Most of the numbers were from his first three albums; all of the songs from more recent albums (Tom Traubert's Blues, Have I told You Lately, People Get Ready, Forever Young) were impeccable choices. Overall, a tremendous performance and deservedly (but to the surprise of everyone) it was a commercial smash, with a top 5 single to boot (Have I told You Lately).
That would be amazing if you had them! My email is RollingFreakStones@gmail.com . Yeah, I don't seem to know how to find them any other way.Quote

there were some excellent unplugged albums way back when. my faves are still macca's, ec's (with leavell leading the charge, of course) and rod's...prolly in that order. dylan's didn't fare so well...he shoulda gone with one of the supper club shows from the year before instead of these '94 gigs.

Strange that you mention it, because I was listening to all 4 Supper Club shows of 1993 a few days ago, and was thinking about terrific they are; and how boring the official MTV unplugged 1994 performance of Dylan is. The only great performance of the 94 show is "I Want You"......which he didn't include in the official release....!!
Concerning Rod Stewart's Unplugged album; it's OK; but I simply can't stand it when he almost starts to cry at one certain song......can't remember which song it was.... But when I heard that; I gave the CD to the local library. Who wants to hear a man crying? Not me!

on van's have i told you lately. it was a tender moment and i loved it.
you ever hear sam cooke's version of the "riddle song" which has the line "i gave my love a baby with no crying" - you can hear him choke up at the line, cos he and his wife had just lost their baby to an early death. if that don't choke you up, nothing will...
did you ever hear sam cooke when he choked up at the end of
