Band with Best Unplugged Set.

Yeah. Like I say, if Tool took the time to arrange them on acoustic in a unique way it would be amazing. Not just take the songs and do them on acoustics... but re-arrange them and work out the composition in a unique way, it would be amazing.

If they just took songs and did them the same way on electric, it would be good, but not great.

Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam were awesome unplugged.

Incubus did a good unplugged too.

I really believe that Phish do fantastic acoustic sets, but I may be horribly biased. Regardless, they're all extremely talented musicians, play well together, and always look to be having a lot of fun when they perform. That's all I ask of any band.

Page (keys) is the glue that holds them all together. I also legitimately believe him to be the most musically gifted.

There are quite a few episodes of MTV 'Unplugged' that stand out. In no particular order:

The Allman Brothers Band

Stevie Ray Vaughan

The Smithereens

Live

KISS

Queensryche

R.E.M.

Crosby,Stills,and Nash

I think an 'Unplugged' marathon of the ENTIRE series is long overdue on VH-1 Classic. I believe this year is the show's 25th anniversary. It would be a ratings bonanza for sure in my opinion (

)! Great thread.
