This Week in Rock n Roll History (1991) - Paul McCartney records an episode of MTV Unplugged. Unplugged (The Official Bootleg) is a live unplugged performance by McCartney, recorded and released in 1991. Following the vastness of his world tour recently captured on Tripping the Live Fantastic, McCartney relished the opportunity to strip back his songs and appear on the newly launched acoustic-only show. Consequently, McCartney was the first in a long line of artists to release an unplugged album. Unlike other artists who appeared on the acclaimed show with acoustic instruments plugged into amplifiers (producing the sound heard), McCartneys instruments were 100% unplugged. Microphones were carefully placed close to guitars, pianos, etc. to pick up the sound. Using the same line-up that recently backed him (save for Blair Cunningham who had replaced Chris Whitten), McCartney used the opportunity to dust off some of his rarer tracks, including three from his 1970 debut album McCartney, alongside some obscure covers amid a helping of familiar Beatles hits.
