Other A-list musicians--Sting, Eric Clapton, Arrested Development--soon followed. Older performers went on Unplugged to revive careers, younger rockers to boost new ones. When Pearl Jam paid a visit in 1992, it was largely unknown; its Unplugged appearance was an important milestone in the band's drive toward megastardom. Aging soulman Rod Stewart's acoustic set spawned an Unplugged album that sold 3 million copies. Coming full circle, folk-rock trailblazer Bob Dylan, who enraged music...
