Notes

Live MTV Unplugged performance, November 18, 1993, New York. The Martin D-18E was run through the PA via its pickups and possibly a small amount of amp for stage monitoring. No evidence of external pedals or stompboxes used for the solo section; all drive/distortion comes from aggressive playing and pickup selection, not from pedals or amp overdrive.

The solo is technically straightforward but requires aggressive dynamics, control of feedback, and expressive playing to match the raw intensity of the performance.
