Unplugged?
Don't miss the force of nature that is Steve Stevens playing acoustic for Billy Idol. https://youtu.be/m0JImKXjtaA

I remember one of the early MTV Unplugged episodes from 1990, that featured both Stevie Ray Vaughn (as was mentioned in a previous post, playing a 12-string Guild), and Joe Satriani (he still had hair at the time). SRV was cool, and played some awesome tunes. Satriani played a 1920s Gibson L-Series guitar for two of his three songs, but what really stood out for me, was his first song - an instrumental called "The Feeling", that he played on a banjitar (aka banjo-guitar)! It was cool, different sounding, and kind of trippy in a way. Before I saw Joe Satriani playing a Deering banjitar on MTV Unplugged, I never even knew that they existed (it turns out they've been around for over 100 years). Over the years, I've tried out banjitars at music stores, but could never afford them, or make up my mind, as to whether or not I wanted to buy them. To this day, I still have low level GAS for a banjitar. The 12-string versions (which are pretty rare) also sound very good.

I'm pretty sure the Clapton episode of Unplugged was a gateway drug for a whole generation of new acoustic blues lovers. First time I every heard Broonzy's "Hey, Hey." Learning that tune marked a turning point for me as a player, and largely set me on the path I've been on since.
SRV and Nirvana are also personal favorites from that series.
