![]() My only true gripe is the order of the set itself. "God Am," "I Stay Away," and "Grind" would all have been great additions However, I fully admit that's just me being greedy and to be honest I don't think Layne could have taken the extra numbers. Of course, I would have liked a longer set. It gives the album an identity all its own. ![]() Oh sure, they're all the same songs, but they've been retooled slightly for their new acoustic arrangement which was a brilliant move. You see, the band has found a way to subtly make the songs completely different. Hell, I'd place the performances of "Sludge Factory" and "Brother" found here above their studio counterparts. The softer songs like "Nutshell" and "Heaven Beside You" are obvious, but some of the harder material ("Angry Chair" or "Sludge Factory") came as a surprise. The songs chosen were a good choice most of them transcribe to acoustic very well. Plus, Scott Olsen joins the band on stage as a rhythm guitarist, adding some fill-in that the normally heavier songs lose when done acoustically. Alice in Chains are Layne Staley on vocals, Jerry Cantrell on guitar/vocals, Mike Inez on bass and Sean Kinney on drums. Anyway, let's get the technical stuff out of the way first. Even so, they've quickly ranked up as one of my favorite bands and I was overjoyed when I got this DVD for my birthday. Hell, Alice in Chains has been done and gone almost half a decade when I started listening to them. Just for the sake of argument, I'll admit that I got into Alice in Chains relatively recently, so I missed this show when it was "culturally relevant." Plus, I never watched MTV's Unplugged at all. ![]() This show was part of MTV's Unplugged show and has gone on to become one of the more memorable concerts in the series. On April 10, 1996, Seattle grunge band Alice in Chains performed their first live concert in almost three years.
