The Dashboard Confessional release of MTV Unplugged 2.0 was in 2002. This CD/DVD package is Dashboard Confessional's first live album. The band already recorded an acoustic instrument-based LP and is also the first non-platinum selling artist to be on MTV Unplugged. After a few months, RIAA certified the album platinum, meaning it sold over one million copies, making it their best-selling album to date. The album is the first one to have peaked at #1 on the Top Heatseekers Chart and the Top Independent Albums chart. The album peaked at #111 on the Billboard 200.
The songs featured on this album are slightly changed and are more up-beat versions of the songs from Dashboard Confessional's previous albums, The Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most and their EP, So Impossible.
This is the first time Dashboard Confessional performs the tracks "Remember to Breathe", "So Impossible", "Turpentine Chaser", "Living In Your Letters", "For You to Notice" and "Hands Down" as a full band unlike the ones on their original albums which featured only Chris Carrabba, who is sometimes accompanied by John Lefler.
