The "Acoustic Hits" on their Greatest Hits DVD are quite nice, too. I'm very glad to have those on DVD! I'd love to see them do more of that sort of thing: shoot video in the studio when they're recording. Like they did for the 2004 self-titled album. I love the video they included with the special edition CD. It's fantastic! The atmosphere they created in the studio with the carpets and candles reminds me a lot of that 1991 MTV Unplugged appearance, actually. Quote

I know there were more than 6 songs performed on the unplugged set. Their were those six aired on the broadcast: 1. Let's Go to Bed 02. Just Like Heaven 03. The Caterpillar 04. The Blood 05. Boys Don't Cry 06. The Walk Plus at least 3 others (excerpts on play out etc) 07. A letter to Elise 08. If only tonight we could sleep 09. Lullaby It was such an innovating concert, on par with nirvana's, in re-versioning of their songs. just don't understand why MTV didn't release this being that the cure was at the top of their popularity at the time... A DVD of the whole thing would be marvelous. (clutches kazoo) Quote

I have 'Accoustic Daze' and have seen some of the songs performed on the 'Playout' video.. I love that 'definative' version of Boy's Don't Cry and always cry with laughter whenever I hear the 'kazoo version' of The Walk!! A real gem!

As for a CD version of these songs? I'm really not sure..

Anyone who posts in thecure.com has at least glanced once at the official list of records, knows what a bootleg is and read the posts. You just tried to dismiss my contribution to the thread for posting the name of a bootleg. I never claimed it as official (God forgive us all for buying stuff not released by the record labels), just pointed out to the OP to this record since he said he's been listening to cassettes recorded from the original TV airing. I considered it a full uNplugged record since it contains the same set played on the aired show, but as Hayhook has pointed out there were more songs played that evening. As for me, well I'm 35 and been listening to The Cure for more than 20 years. As for the typo, well N is right next to M in the keyboard, and even native English speakers make typos. I'm not one of them (native) as my mother language is Spanish. And you had to find something to criticize, that's the attitude of a 10 y.o. I was just yanking your chain as they say.
