"Unplugged" was published exactly on this day,"August 25", 28 years ago (1992).
It was a "music revolution" with Eric Clapton playing for the first time in his life a completely acoustic concert. The magic formula was adding new songs to classic ones from all his career rearranged for the occasion plus fantastic blues covers.
