Bob Dylan's 'MTV Unplugged' is a captivating live album, released by Columbia Records on 11 April 1995 in Europe and the UK, and on 2 May 1995 in the US. The album was later reissued by Sony in 2007.

Featuring a mix of his classic tracks, the album includes renditions of 'Tombstone Blues', 'Shooting Star', 'All Along the Watchtower', and 'Like a Rolling Stone'.
