MTV's Unplugged series of concerts began as a humble idea: rock stars would come into the studio with an acoustic band and perform simple renditions of their best-known songs.
Rod Stewart 's session, recorded in Los Angeles in February, was a big success, revitalising the singer's career and proving the effectiveness of the Unplugged concept.
Stewart is reunited with Faces guitarist Ron Wood , now a Rolling Stone, and performs a set including Stay with Me,
Maggie May and Tonight's the Night. Further Unplugged concerts will be broadcast over the coming weeks.
