unplugged session
No amplification concert
An unplugged session is a musical performance using acoustic instruments rather than electric or amplified ones—guitars without amps, voices without heavy processing.
The term gained currency from MTV's "Unplugged" series in the 1990s, where rock and pop acts reimagined their hits in stripped-down arrangements: The unplugged session revealed how strong the melodies really were.
