What was your favorite all time "MTV Unplugged" song/performance

Good picks, though Kurt flubbing the beginning of the solo really irks me.

Nirvana covering Leadbelly's 'In The Pines'. The haunted look in Kurt's eyes as he looks up to sing the final verse gives me chills to this day.

The Alice In Chains Unplugged is awesome too, I agree. Layne was barely keeping it together, which made it all the more riveting.

SRV going apeshit on an acoustic in one of the very first 'Unplugged's is utterly amazing too.

This performance was the genesis of my love affair with this woman. It started the flame of passion that still burns deep in my loins to this very day

jay z with the roots was kind of cool

This and "Would?" from the same set. Unbelievable performance and like someone said Layne is barely keeping it all together the whole time. You can see at times during the set that he is hurting deep inside (especially during "Would?").

Also read somewhere that Cantrell was worried that Layne would even show up to the show b/c they hadn't performed as a group in 3 years. You can see in Cantrell's face how amazed he is at how good Layne sounded

Lenny Kravitz had a good unplugged set.

I've always liked the Oasis one where Noel had to sing lead, while Liam mocked him while getting hammered

That was a good one!!!! I also enjoyed Rod Stewart and KISS.
