Springsteen opened up his 1992 concert tour with an appearance on MTV's old "Unplugged" live concert show, from whence comes this CD. Bruce had dumped most of the E-streeters for this tour and only pianist Roy Brittan remained of his former pals; the rest of the band is a bunch of competent but faceless studio musicians. That's OK, because much of the music is a little faceless as well. The CD opens up with an acoustic "Red Haired Woman" and then, ignoring the "unplugged" format, Springsteen goes electric for the rest of the show. The CD assembles most of the better songs from the two rather..
