Neil live on MTV. Of course he did an 'unplugged' album in the '90s like all major artists in those days. The album is again like a documentation of his live abilities. This time it's almost unassisted, just Neil and his instruments, whether he accompanies himself on guitar, harmonica, banjo, organ, or on piano. It's a fine collection of songs but some of the tracks are found in better versions on other live releases, i.e. his gigantic song "Like a Hurricane" is not the best version recorded but it's fine to hear him in a totally different and very condensed version.
