MTV Unplugged is a live album by Bob Dylan, released in 1995 by Columbia Records. It documents Dylan's appearance on the then-highly popular MTV Unplugged television series, recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York on November 17, 1994. It gave Dylan his best sales in years, reaching US #23 and going gold, while going as far as #10 in the UK.
The singer-songwriter had originally wanted to do a set comprised of traditional folk songs. At MTV's behest, he instead performed mostly classics from his early albums.
