Alice in Chains - Unplugged Music CD

Alice in Chains' Unplugged (1996) is one of the most powerful and emotionally raw performances in MTV’s legendary Unplugged series.
Recorded on April 10, 1996, this live acoustic album captures the band at a pivotal moment, stripping down their heavy grunge sound to reveal the haunting beauty and depth of their songwriting. This performance was also one of Layne Staley’s last major appearances before his tragic passing in 2002, making it even more poignant.
Opening with the melancholic "Nutshell," the album immediately sets a somber, intimate tone. "Down in a Hole" and "Rooster" gain a new level of emotional intensity in this acoustic setting, while "Over Now" feels like an eerie farewell. "Got Me Wrong" and "Heaven Beside You" showcase Jerry Cantrell’s rich harmonies and intricate guitar work. The band even offers a rare Unplugged version of "Frogs," adding to the unique nature of this setlist.
With raw, unfiltered vocals and stripped-down instrumentation, Unplugged proves that Alice in Chains was just as powerful in vulnerability as they were in full electric mode. A must-have for any grunge or rock fan, this live album stands as one of the greatest Unplugged sessions ever recorded.
