Cackle wheeze chortle.

We sometimes get asked to do "unplugged" gigs. So we say "OK", they bill
us as "The Snake Doctors - Unplugged", we use our exact same setup
(electric or amplified everything - vocals, guitar, bass, drums,
percussion, hammond, harmonica), everybody is happy, nobody says a word
about "weren't you supposed to be unplugged?". We take the money and run.

I think it just means you have to have an acoustic guitar on a stand
somewhere on stage and not make people's ears bleed.
