==Album information==
The album was recorded on 5 February 1993 at [[Universal Studios]], [[Los Angeles]] as part of MTV’sMTV's ''[[MTV Unplugged|Unplugged]]'' series. The event aired on television on 5 May of the same year. ''Unplugged'' finds Stewart reunited, for the first time in nearly twenty years, with [[Ronnie Wood]], a fellow [[Faces (band)|Faces]] band member. Stewart performs some of the classics from his repertoire such as "[[Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)|Tonight's the Night]]" and "[[Maggie May]]", but also adds some new material such as "Having a Party" and "Highgate Shuffle". The album title comes from a joke Stewart made during the taping about "Stay with Me" being difficult to perform while sitting down. Six songs were taped but not included on the subsequent album release, though "[[It's All Over Now]]" was included as the B-side to the single for "[[Reason to Believe]]".
