MTV UNPLUGGED is a live album by Bob Dylan, released on 2nd May 1995, by Columbia Records and reissued in 2007 by Sony Music. It documents Dylan's appearance on the then-highly popular MTV Unplugged television series, recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York City on 17th and 18th November 1994. It gave Dylan his best sales in years and going Gold. The performance was released on DVD in March 2004, including a 5.1 surround sound mix. Stunning the MTV UNPLUGGED… series from MTV may be, it was not for everyone. Bob Dylan may be the rabble-rousing hero of the 1960s, but once he acknowledged that, he had a period where he leaned on it as a crutch for his music. Live albums in the Unplugged series are held to high scrutiny thanks to the works presented by Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. Dylan should have been up there with the greats for these sets, but outside of a few covers here and edits there, Bob Dylan's MTV UNPLUGGED is an consistent affair that sees the hero acknowledge his deity-like proficiency for great songs and solid performances. Incredibly rewarding collection of tracks. Starting slow, peaking in the middle and petering out, Dylan covers some of his finest tracks. It feels as though he is unsure as to why he is covering them. MTV ask, an artist delivers. That is the bond Dylan has made, although how much of it feels like a classic riff from the past shooting forth into the future is unknown. He reminds his spectators of the tracks that formed his greatest years, covering them with a desire to rework the riffs that silenced and inspired generations of music fans. That is no small task, but Dylan is up to the monumental challenge of reworking the ''golden age'' and churning out more detail than first expected.
PERSONNEL: Bob Dylan – guitar, vocals, harmonica; Bucky Baxter – dobro, pedal steel, steel guitar, mandolin; Tony Garnier – upright bass; John Jackson – guitar; Brendan O'Brien – Hammond organ; Winston Watson – drums.
He is under fire from all directions, but it is not immediately noticeable. For the greatest asset Bob Dylan's MTV UNPLUGGED has is that its collection of instrumentalists is superb. Their work here is fantastic. The problem lies with the man at the centre. Dylan is rarely the issue with a work of music, rarer still to see it become an unavoidable tragedy of his work, but that is the case for this live MTV set. His music and classic tracks spring to life when he lets the big band feeling come to life in the live arena. Such a powerful voice is never going to be permanently staggered, though. MTV UNPLUGGED features some resilient performances. ''Shooting Star'' is a grand experience, again relying on the instrumentals that bookend a strong vocal performance. It is Dylan’s reliance on the instrumental parts of songs that never had them that make his MTV UNPLUGGED not just worth a watch, but vaguely superior to the original versions. Look no further than ''All Along The Watchtower'' for a redux that rivals the original works and that of Jim Hendrix’s iconic cover. Dylan’s slower break for ''The Times They Are A-Changin''' is a delightful feature of the album and one of the few highlights. It is a track that reduces worries over the main man losing his touch. He still has it, he just wishes to apply it to something different, fresh and exciting. This edition includes bonus CD Real Live. It's a live album by Bob Dylan, released on 29th November 1984 and recorded during the artist's 1984 European Tour in support of his Infidels album. A working band featuring ex-Stones guitarist Mick Taylor and in the excellent album closing version starring guest guitar player Carlos Santana on lead. It's a good, solid live album, even if it's hardly as monumental as that.
