    Awful.

    If ever there was a song that can't be unplugged it's this one. It's a song that works because of the amazing energy it has, and as we can see, that was lost in the process.

    VH with Gary ('98) - Fucking disaster. WTF was that??
    VH with Wolf/Dave ('12-'15) - Amazing comeback. Smokin' album and tours.

    I for one thought it was pretty good. I think if a song can translate well to any way that it is going to be played that, that is the sign of a great song and as well all know Dreams is a great song.

    couldn't even finish listening to it...it's pretty bad. I just don't get this obsession that people have with "unplugging" their songs. It's just contrived and cliche. It isn't refreshing, it isn't creative and in this case it's just poorly executed. It sounds like some kind of cross between bad Christian rock and Roth's bluegrass crap. What's more, Sammy isn't nearly versatile enough as a vocalist to pull something like this off. Sorry.
