![]() ![]() Among the musicians who enriched MTV’s agenda with their presence, were (among many others) Pearl Jam, Nirvana, R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, Shakira, Bob Dylan… The concert of Alice in Chains, performed on the 10th of April 1996 in New York, was definitely one of the most significant in this series. First of those shows happened in 1989, with Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora on the stage. MTV Unplugged is a series of concerts played only with the acoustic instruments. With no welcoming or warning, Alice in Chains starts their legendary concert, Unplugged. At the end, the vocalist Layne Staley - with pink hair, dark shades and a shy smile. ![]() Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez, Scott Olson, Sean Kinney. Then, on the stage of Brooklyn Academy of Music, here they come long-haired, tall musicians. The sense of anticipation is so tangible that almost felt physically. Long, white candles dress the scenery in shaking shadows. Lights are dimmed but everything’s clearly visible. Notes from MTV Unplugged, Alice in Chains I have so many favorites from this work - Down In a Hole has always been a song I have loved, and this version, with the delicate guitar sound and Layne Staleys almost tortured vocals is simply out of this world, Rooster is powerful and rocks as much on the unplugged version as it does on the studio album!! Would though a little weak, still works on this album, but I feel Staley struggles a little on the vocals.Alice with no Chains. This version of some of the best loved and biggest hits this Grunge band released, is simply outstanding and adds something to the tracks that the studio version lacks!ġ3 tracks are featured on the album - a 1996 release, adn the album did well in a time when grunge was pretty much on its last legs - a testimony to just how good this is! I also often find that sadly, the live version, just does not compare with the studio track!Įnter Alice In Chains Unplugged. Generally I am not a big fan of unplugged and / or live albums - I like to hear the version of the song that I have grown to love without talk, clapping or other background noise. The best unplugged album I had come across!
