MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis' bestselling rock band of the 1990s is about to shine new light on one of its most high-profile gigs of that era.
Dave Pirner and his modern lineup of Soul Asylum have announced a live re-creation of their "MTV Unplugged" performance at the State Theatre in Minneapolis on April 20 — ahem, 4/20 — timed to a 30th anniversary reissue of that performance on vinyl for Record Store Day that weekend.
Pirner and Co. plan to revisit the 13-song performance on stage, and they're bringing along some guests to do so: New Orleans legend Ivan Neville will step back in on keyboards, and local ensemble STRINGenius (featured on Prince's album "Art Official Age") will add the orchestral parts.
