His version of Lead Belly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" with the "scream" at the end, is his best vocal performance ever.  Also, "Lake of Fire" is a great cover tune.   I remember watching most of those as they were first shown on MTV.

oh and the cover of Meat Puppets "Plateau" is sweeet.

Nirvana had the best version of unplugged, and this was back when MTV was actually music instead of the stupid shows they have on it now (I don't know about MTV2 because I don't get the channel)

Nirvana and AIC's both were incredible.  Have them both on cd and the AIC performance on DVD.

Pearl Jam and Paul McCartney's were great as well.

Paul was the only one to do the whole show  with the whole band truly unplugged.  While Nirvana's performance was awesome, it was far from acoustic.

[Nefarious]

Sweet Album. I remember seeing it when it first aired.

AIC are awesome and nutshell unplugged is the best.

Correct, but they were the first band to have done the show in one take.   Cobain needed the safety net of his disguised pedal board (monitor wedge) at the time.   Regardless, they nailed it out of the park.
