Video: 'Paul Mccartney Unplugged' (17 clips)

(Monday, May 20, 1991) — Unplugged (The Official Bootleg), a live unplugged performance by former Beatle Paul McCartney, was released today (June 4, 1991, in the U.S.).

Following the vastness of his world tour recently captured on Tripping the Live Fantastic, McCartney relished the opportunity to strip back his songs and appear on the acoustic-only show MTV Unplugged, which had only been on air for over a year at that point.

Consequently, McCartney was the first in a long line of artists to release an album of their performance on the show.
