Considered one of the most iconic installments of the MTV Unplugged series, 18x GRAMMY(R) Award-winner Eric Clapton originally recorded his unforgettable hour-long performance of ERIC CLAPTON UNPLUGGED in 1992 at Bray Studios in Windsor, England. In this all-new extended, remixed and remastered edition, ERIC CLAPTON UNPLUGGED...

During the intimate performance, Clapton reimagined his catalog with first-time acoustic arrangements of hits including "Layla," "Tears in Heaven," and more. He also paid homage to the blues music that influenced him, performing classics including "Before You Accuse Me," originally recorded by Bo Diddley; "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," originally recorded by Bessie Smith; and more.
The subsequently released live album UNPLUGGED, released in August 1992, became a monumental success selling over 26 million copies worldwide and dominating charts worldwide. UNPLUGGED went on to become the best-selling live album of all time.
Clapton is the only 3x inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and of Cream. In his solo career, he has sold 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time.
