Alice In Chains - MTV Unplugged 2xLP Anniversary Edition

The "Unplugged" LP by Alice In Chains is released on Sony Legacy and documents the acoustic performance recorded for MTV, which took place on April 10, 1996 at the Majestic Theatre in Brooklyn. The release brings together acoustic versions of well-known tracks such as "Nutshell," "Down in a Hole," "No Excuses," and "Rooster," along with the first-time presentation of "Killer Is Me," offering a concise collection of the set in a clear live mix.

Musically, "Unplugged" relies on stripped-down arrangements and harmonic vocal passages that highlight the contrast between the familiar electric guitar versions and the acoustic performance. The concert material was produced by Toby Wright together with Alice In Chains; in addition to core members Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez, and Sean Kinney, Scott Olson appears as an additional acoustic guitarist, adding further depth to the set’s sonic textures. This live document remains one of the band’s defining acoustic statements, capturing both the intimacy and the rougher edge of their songwriting.
