Stone Temple Pilots

On November 17, 1993, Stone Temple Pilots delivered a memorable performance of "Crackerman" during their MTV Unplugged session at Sony Studios in New York. This live recording came shortly after the release of their debut album, "Core," which had dropped earlier that year, in September. "Core" significantly propelled the band into the mainstream, thanks to hits like "Plush" and "Creep." Interestingly, their powerful yet nuanced performance of "Crackerman" showcased not just their raw talent, but also their ability to adapt to the acoustic format, revealing a different layer to their sound. It’s worth noting that this was a pivotal moment for the band, as they were gaining traction in the rock scene and solidifying their identity amidst the grunge movement.
