Admit it folks - top to fucking bottom this cd is pretty damn perfect It comes on & you just know you're in for some real music

His beautiful voice, the musicians, the background singers, the musicians, the song selection & segues into each one, the tempo of the entire set... The only thing wrong w/ it is it's too damn short

Nobody topped this & they probably never will

I prefer it to the debut album myself.

All I know is that the brotha was TOO fine...and that VOICE....oh LAWD

i dunno...Clapton had a pretty great Unplugged as well.

Never heard this.

Bjork has my favorite Unplugged.

oh yes, one of my favorite albums to play straight through!!!

And that's rare these days....

Now, are we just going by "Unplugged" or live CDs altogether? Because if it's the latter, then my vote goes to Raphael Saadiq's Live at the H.O.B. - That shit is off the fuckin hook!

Was that ever released on CD?

How was The Cure Unplugged? I always thought that should have been the second bonus disc on 'The Greatest Hits' album instead of the acoustic versions which to me sounded pretty lifeless.

Yes it was.

First as part of her "Live Box", and then separately. I've even seen it at Best Buy. The DVD of that performance is available too.

I love The Cure's Unplugged performances, although I've never seen video footage of it. I that early version of "A Letter To Elise".

I agree. Perfect vocals, it's even in my top 10 best live albums ever.

i'll cherish the day when some beautiful soul puts the show up on you tube!!!
hint..hint..wink..wink

Isn't there a time limit on youtube? Like 10 minutes or so? It would have to be track by track.

Maxwell's unplugged is THE BEST UNPLUGGED CD EVER-Love you Maxwell .

You just had to bring up Clapton didn't you? I only remember Layla & Tears In Heaven from his unplugged, which are AWESOME but I don't remember the whole thing. Not a big Clapton fan (but I know he's great)

U aint neva lied! I don't know who told that child to cut his hair. I had plans on running my fingers through it and pulling it.....very hard.

Now, as far as the unplugged cd, on Whenever,Wherever, Whatever, when he sings...whish I knew if I could....be the one that u would, luv 4ever and a day baby.....OH MY GAWD. I don't think that there is a more beautiful voce in the business.

LOL! Oops!

I don't do "unplugged". Let's see him "unzipped".

Loved it!

Come back soon Maxwell!

"Woman's Work" on the Unplugged is SO MUCH better than his album version on "Now."

StoneCrib said:

Yes it is! It's so beautiful .

OMG, his "Now" version sucks roasted donkey nuts but the Unplugged version is sheer perfection

Yes, the live version was better, but the studio version was nice too.

Don't be so damn harsh people.
