Unplugged and more, The Classic Hole Acoustic Performance A little over a year since Kurt Cobain's death, Courtney Love and Hole performed for the sixth season of MTV's Unplugged. Playing a varied selection of tunes from the band s two albums available at that time, alongside a couple of choice covers such as Duran Duran s Hungry Like The Wolf and The Crystals somewhat disturbing He Hit Me ( And It felt Like A Kiss) ,this acoustic show, available in full on this CD for the first time, remains among the most interesting and dynamic that Courtney and her cohorts performed during their golden years. Featured here too, as bonus material, is a fine broadcast recording from a gig the group played in Fairfax, Virginia on 12th December 1998, in support of their third LP Celebrity Skin, released a couple of months before.

A must have if you don’t have unplugged in your collection
Love the band, this is one of my top fav performances of theirs ever. The sound quality isn’t like the vhs tape I played until it wore out. The sound is more crisp for the unplugged songs than the warmth I remember but for the live tracks it’s awesome. I’m just happy to have the unplugged performance back. All 231:of my bootlegs were stolen a few years back so I’m very happy.

Hole's Unplugged stands amongst the long running series best and yet, remains unreleased officially. This CD has been produced by a fly by night label looking to cash in on a loop hole of broadcasted material of a certain age and unfortunately, the quality shows. While the original broadcast had been bootlegged a few dozen times throughout the 1990's in varying quality, the majority of those CDs left much to be desired in sound. This CD runs in the middle pack of those old bootlegs. The CDs blips, drops sound, skips in audio and only a third of it will rip into a media library. Mid 90's bootleg entitled Unglued remains the pinnacle of this recording and even that is not up to par with officially released Unplugged recordings from other artists.Hole's Valentine's Day Unplugged deserves an official release and from one fan to another, this recording certainly isn't it. May the buyer beware.Hopefully Erlandson or Auf Der Maur will make good on their promises to keep Hole's legacy alive and officially release this set one day, in entirety (as of the date of this review, only "Softer, Softest" and "Season Of The Witch" have seen release in an official format).

Terrassant, comme toujours
Superbes concerts (2 en tout, dont le deuxième, dès les premières secondes, n'est à l'évidence pas "unplugged": on en prend, pour notre plus grand bonheur, plein les oreilles!) Courtney Love n'a pas la plus grande palette vocale du monde, mais elle était -et est restée- éminemment rentre-dedans! Et c'est pour ça qu'on l'aime. Outre que les paroles de ses chansons sont d'une honnêteté et d'un courage sans limite. Et qu'on arrête de l'inscrire dans la galerie des "veuves noires" du rock. Courtney est inattaquable, elle a un talent, une lucidité et une brutalité qui feront date.
