referencing MTV Unplugged, CD, Album, CK 67703
This was such a haunting performance. Alice in Chains had performed acoustically before, both live and on album, hence why they chose to open with Nutshell and Brother which were both acoustic on the studio albums. Just like with Nirvana before them, the unplugged show for Alice in Chains showed that this "grunge" music was really intelligent and worthy of all the hype that it got. Alice in Chains wrote very solid songs and whether they were distortion-heavy hard rock tracks or if they were done acoustically, the great songwriting always came out on top. In this stripped down performance, the vocals really stand out... you can really hear why Layne Staley was so unique. I'd say what I thought were the standout tracks on the album, but really this whole performance is fantastic.
