MTV Unplugged – Live in Athens is the sixth live album by the German hard rock and heavy metal band Scorpions, released in 2013 by Sony Music. In late 2012, MTV proposed that the band take part in the MTV Unplugged concert series, an offer the members had previously declined on two occasions for various reasons. Once the project was confirmed, both parties agreed to hold the first open-air show in the series' history, for which they chose the theater on Mount Lycabettus in Athens. The decision to hold it in this city was due to several factors, although the main reason was that the band wanted to somehow reciprocate the unwavering support of their Greek fans. During pre-production, guitarist Matthias Jabs and record producers Mikael Andersson and Martin Hansen selected and arranged the songs. The inclusion of new instruments allowed them to change the sound, tempo and musical genre of some of them. In total, three concerts were scheduled for 11, 12 and 14 September 2013, but only the first two were recorded. For the event, the band was supported by over a dozen musicians, including the producers, a string section and three guest vocalists.
