VIDEO INFO: One of the earliest examples of the format which has spanned (to date) five decades and established itself as probably MTV’s most successful and influential original output.

It was designed, of course, as an opportunity for musicians to modify their electric repertoire to acoustic instruments, customising their own catalogues and cover versions in front of an intimate studio audience. And Aerosmith’s set at New York's Ed Sullivan Theatre on 20 September 1990 quickly established itself as one of the definitive interpretations of the stripped-down concept.

The original camp-fire format generated some interesting developments which helped resuscitate the careers of Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart and Neil Young; transformed Maria Carey from pop princess to global mega-star; reunited the original Kiss line-up and initiated the return of full make-up stadium shows for a whole new audience; realised the only credible attempt at a Led Zeppelin reunion in the form of ‘Page & Plant: Unledded’ who rejuvenated many old classics with an opulent, Middle-Eastern/orchestral-infused extravaganza spawning two world tours and an album of new material.

The series reached its zenith in late 1993, capturing for posterity probably the only extended example of an uncharacteristically relaxed and gregariously charming Kurt Cobain in the eye of a storm that, less than six months later, would see arguably the biggest rock star in the world take his own life.

All too briefly, it charted a new dimension for Nirvana, adding haunting nuance to songs that had hitherto only existed as grungy mayhem in addition to some mouth-watering covers and even a cello! To this day it remains an artistic tour-de-force – a poignant and tantalising glimpse of what might have been.
