Eric Clapton’s 1992 performance on “MTV Unplugged” is set for a 90-minute theatrical release and streaming special on Paramount+.

Filmed at Bray Studios in Windsor, England on January 16, 1992, in the iconic installment of the “MTV Unplugged” series, Eric reimagined his catalog with first-time acoustic arrangements of “Layla,” “Tears in Heaven,” “Old Love” and more.

He also paid homage to the blues music that influenced him, performing classics like “Before You Accuse Me,” “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out,” “Rollin’ and Tumblin'” and “Alberta.”

In this all-new extended, remixed, and remastered edition, Eric Clapton Unplugged…Over 30 Years Later will feature exclusive content of Eric discussing the inspiration behind specific songs and performances with the crew just before he took the stage, seamlessly integrated with the performance footage.

The subsequently released live album Unplugged, which came out in August 1992, became a monumental success dominating charts and selling more than 26 million copies worldwide. It went on to become the best-selling live album of all time and won three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
