The band's unplugged performance was shown on TV at the time, but no album of it was ever released. (A DVD of it was included on their 2017 box set of rarities "Overflow Tank," but strangely, that was missing one song.) So here it is. I think it's an excellent concert, with great sound. It's kind of like their greatest hits up until 1993 (and most of their hits were from before then), but with a semi-acoustic twist.
It's a fairly long concert compared to how these things usually go, at an hour and 34 minutes. I'm guessing MTV only broadcast parts of it to fit it into an hour, but I'm not sure. I didn't have to do much tweaking. But there's a fair amount of talking, and I broke all of that into separate tracks.
By the way, the band later did some more acoustic stuff, especially around the year 2002. I've compiled that into another album, and I'll post that at a later time.
UPDATE: On March 2023, I updated the mp3 download file. The music is exactly the same, but I changed the cover, after finding a much better photo for it.

For the album cover, I took a screenshot from a YouTube video of the Unplugged concert.
