Unplugged Week: Page and Plant "Kashmir" (1994)

To end Unplugged week, here is a good example of what the Unplugged sessions could achieve: masterful performances by legendary musicians, stripped down to bare elements or rearranged to form something new and wonderful (see: Eric Clapton's unplugged version of Layla). This was freaking Page and Plant from Led Zeppelin reuniting! To do a unique, intimate performance with an international orchestra. That is amazing. It may not be all that 90s, but Unplugged was one of the rare genuine musical phenomena of its decade.
