MTV UNPLUGGED: FINEST MOMENTS [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1999
• Genre: Music, Musical
• Plot: When MTV decided to showcase artists sans electric guitars, keyboards, and other musical accouterments in MTV Unplugged, little did anyone expect such overwhelming popularity. Finest Moments brings together eight incredible musical performances. The DVD begins with 10,000 Maniacs performing a jubilant 'These Are Days,' then moves into the Church singing a touchingly melancholic version of 'Under the Milky Way.' Sinead O'Connor, alone with her guitar, sings 'Black Boys on Mopeds' in an achingly pure, sad voice. With just guitars, piano, and drums, the stark lyrics of Soul Asylum's 'Black Gold' really hits home. The Cure and Live perform affecting versions of 'Just Like Heaven' and 'Lightening Crashes,' respectively, Duran Duran performs a '90s version of their early '80s hit 'Girls on Film,' and Oasis concludes with 'Listen Up.' Included on the DVD are profiles of all the artists, producers' notes with little-known details about the shows, and interviews with four of the bands, and an option for Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. --Dana Van Nest
