According to drummer Dave Grohl, "We'd seen the other Unpluggeds and didn't like many of them, because most bands would treat them like rock shows—play their hits like it was Madison Square Garden, except with acoustic guitars."
Segundo o batería Dave Grohl, "Víramos os outros Unpluggeds e non ns gustara moito deles, debido a que a meirande parte das bandas tratábanos como concertos de rock, tocando os seus grande éxitos como se estivesen no Madison Square Garden, pero con guitarras acústicas".
