Description
Arguably the best from the MTV Unplugged Series (apologies to Nirvana and Kiss).
Few live albums carry the emotional weight and enduring legacy of MTV Unplugged. Recorded in 1996 and marking one of the final performances featuring the legendary Layne Staley, this unforgettable set captured Alice In Chains at their most vulnerable, haunting and powerful. Stripped of distortion but losing none of their intensity, the band’s dark harmonies and deeply personal songwriting take on an entirely new dimension in this intimate acoustic setting.
Featuring stunning performances of classics including “Nutshell”, “Down In A Hole”, “Rooster”, “Would?” and “Over Now”, MTV Unplugged is widely regarded as one of the greatest entries in the iconic MTV Unplugged series. This 30th Anniversary Edition 2LP celebrates a landmark release that remains essential listening for grunge fans and rock collectors alike.

Crimson Vinyl Collector’s Note
Some live albums entertain. MTV Unplugged leaves a lasting mark. The chemistry between Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell is nothing short of magical, transforming already powerful songs into deeply moving performances. For many fans, this is the definitive Alice In Chains release and one of the most important live recordings of the 1990s. The 30th Anniversary Edition is an absolute must-have for grunge collectors and anyone building a serious rock vinyl collection.
