Alice In Chains – Unplugged is one of the most memorable entries in MTV’s Unplugged series. Layne Staley’s haunting vocals, combined with Jerry Cantrell’s acoustic arrangements, deliver an emotional and raw performance that highlights the band’s artistry beyond their heavy electric sound.
Unlike many live albums, this show thrives on vulnerability, with stripped-down versions of classics like Nutshell, Down In A Hole, and Rooster. The DVD remains a fan essential, not only as a showcase of AIC’s musicianship but also as a poignant final document of Staley’s presence before his decline.
This DVD captures Alice In Chains’ legendary MTV Unplugged performance, filmed on April 10, 1996 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Majestic Theatre. It is widely regarded as one of the most haunting and iconic live shows of the ’90s.
