An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""Sheryl's approach to Unplugged was informal and, as always, this helped make the show a very successful one. She really mixed things up, even covering 'D'yer Mak'er' by Led Zeppelin. She was also in good humor and not the least bit self-conscious. She played accordian on her latest hit,

An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""Like the Pearl Jam show, at the time of this booking, Live was still considered to be a risk.

The show's success kept the MTV switchboards buzzing with continual questi

Song selections included ""Dreaming My Dreams,"" ""Ode To My Family,"" ""Linger,"" Empty"" and ""Zombie.""
An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""The strength of The Cranberries is firmly rooted in the power of Dolores O'Riordan's voice. It is an instrument that can be beautiful and whisper-soft at one moment and then suddenly have the piercing power of a bagpipe. Unplugged was therefore an excellent setting for the band and a very special opportunity to hear a voice with so much range in an intimate setting. A string section comprised of violins and guita
Episode 3 : Hole

An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book...""Offstage, however, preparation was smoother than anyone could have hoped. During rehearsals, Courtney and Madonna (who originally tried to enlist Hole for her record label, Maverick) met for the first time. Not to mention the added dimension of having Drew Barrymore (who dates Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson) and her friend Patricia Arquette in the studio for the taping. It was the most Hollywood presence we'd had since Al Pacino.""

An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book....""Before any taping, it's important to sit down with an artist and determine just what they hope to accomplish with their set....For Melissa's summit, it was one power lunch - if you can call eating at the MTV cafeteria a power lunch. We simply got our trays, stood in line, and then hashed out all the details at a school lunchroom-style table. We knew then just how unpretentious her Unplugged would end up being.""
