TV show
MTV Unplugged was a music programme that first appeared on television in 1989. In the programme, the most famous singers and vocalists of the time sang a performance in an acoustic setting, with minimal use of electrically amplified instruments. Many great artists such as Alicia Keys, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey and Bruce Springsteen participated in the programme.

Translated by: Bob, who added this info:
Eric Clapton’s edition even made it to the nomination of “most successful watched live concert of all time”. It was ex Beatle Sir Paul McCartney who came up with the idea, as he drove home, listening to a cassette tape in his car, that he had been on the first ever MTV Uplugged programme. Afterwards they named it MTV Unplugged.
