Testament unplugged

[ProgMetalFan]

I just recently got "Live at the Fillmore"... and although the whole album kicks ass... I am especially impressed with the three unplugged songs at the end... "Return to Serenity", "The Legacy" and "Trail of Tears"... I never realized Testament could be so beautiful... love the female backing vocals too... this music is very chill and I can't get enough of it!

I can't get enough of it either. I was lucky enough to get a couple of bootleg videos from 1993 where they play LIVE acoustic sets outside of a wherehouse music store parking lot and one from 1995 in a Chicago hall. Hearing acoustic versions of most of the classics is a real treat. It shows how extremely "musical" and talented Testament really is , and it's not all hidden by distorted guitar and production. The band is the real deal and I think that's one reason they are such a viable band today and more than ever , quality music.

Am I correct in assuming that the last acoustic songs on that cd were recorded in a studio and are not live?

 

[hiddenlegions]

Those sound like they were recorded in the studio considering the overdubs.

I remember reading where they said that they wanted to do a whole album of aucoustic songs. But that was years ago, now it seems innapropriate.
