Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged

Brooklyn, 10th April 1996. Layne Staley walked on stage for what would become one of the most haunting performances in rock history.

MTV Unplugged strips Alice in Chains back to their raw core — acoustic guitars, candlelight, and Staley's voice carrying the full weight of everything left unsaid. Recorded at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theatre for MTV's iconic series, this was the band's last major public performance before Staley's death in 2002. It has never sounded more vital.
