We started playing to very young audiences and to an increasing number of women. Our audience went through a radical renewal. Yet, I feel that when the album came out we were surprised with the speed and the reach it had in terms of popularity. In 2019, amidst the band's " Trio Acústico" tour, which celebrated 20 years of Acústico MTV, Britto said the band was surprised by that time with the success of the album: "Many people bet on this idea that our songs would succeed, while others thought they wouldn't match. In these last performances, the band already presented to the public their version of " É Preciso Saber Viver", a hit from their then future album Volume Dois, which they were conceiving at the time. These only happened after much requests from the fans, since the tour was supposed to end on 14 March at Ibirapuera Gymnasium, after 140 shows. The last performances of the tour took place in 4 and 5 April 1998, at Olympia in São Paulo. In order to carry all musicians involved with the project from one performance to another, the band would travel on two buses. The album was also thought of as a celebration of the band's 15th anniversary. This does not mean to make the work mediocre". I have no vocation to perform for half a dozen people. It is very important for a band of this size to be popular. They were afraid of sounding "pathetic", but were happy with growing their audience and to be back on the radio. As vocalist and bassist Nando Reis said, "we had to prove that Titãs could be different from Titãs and still be as good as them". They said creating these versions for their own songs was a challenge. Conception and promotion ĭespite it having been a radio and commercial success, the band rejected the idea of it being an album conceived with commercial interests. Maria Bethânia was also expected to perform a version of "Miséria". The CD also features a short version of "Cabeça Dinossauro" sung by Marina Lima. Páez also sings and plays the piano on the DVD version of " Televisão", while the CD version (recorded in studio) is sung by guest Rita Lee and played by also guest Roberto de Carvalho. The show featured various guest performances, including Argentinian singer Fito Páez on " Go Back", Marisa Monte on " Flores", Jamaican Jimmy Cliff on " Querem Meu Sangue", and ex-Titãs singer Arnaldo Antunes on "O Pulso". It's part of the MTV Unplugged series and resulted in a tour, a CD, a DVD and a TV special broadcast by MTV on 22 May from that year. March 6–7, 1997 at Teatro João Caetano, Rio de Janeiro Īcústico MTV is the second live album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs.
