Outstanding performance by an incredible band. MTV's Unplugged series was a brilliant idea and thankfully they got these guys to sign on. Taking the heavy on-stage blast of grunge rock out...which of course is great anyway...they still somehow keep it in and get down to the heart of the songs. Jammin base and leads, terrific percussion and Layne is on target(for the most part...you'll see!). The voices and playing are perfect, and not only are they enjoying themselves, they can tell they are playing the songs perfect. A must have! "AIC true measure of depth recorded here - live" A real testament to AIC greatness is found here in this live presentation. As heavy and at times, a little overproduced as their studio recordings were, their nuanced performance here displays warmth and sublimity with acoustic instruments. Not only that but Layne and the band really make you feel like you're just buds hanging out, hearing some great songs. LAYNE, RIP. "Great, like everything AIC has ever done." I don't know why that loser James G's comment is at the top, but Alice in Chains and Layne's performance were both amazing. Maybe James G needs to have his music processed and run through the mix board, or just can't appreciate live music, but Layne was awesome in this Unplugged. Got Me Wrong was WAY better than on SAP. It is actually the song that got me into AIC. The video also has a few funny moments and a screw-up on Layne's behalf that is quite comical. RIP Layne PS Bass Guitar is easy. That is why Mike Starr was easily replaced. Will never replace Layne. "riveting" alice in chains my fav band alltime wernt grunge or metal or rock they were alice in chains haunting beautiful music that covered love addiction and everything we go through in life there will never be another alice in chains buy this dvd and see thier greatness it sounds great and being unplugged really brings out the power in many of the songs like down in a hole or angry chair this was the last time alice was all together as a band live and its 1 of the best music performances alltime any genre i miss alice in chains and the 90s and i pray stp doesnt have the same fate "An Absolute MUST for any AiC fan" WOW !!!! AMAZING !!! Highly, Highly, Highly, HIGHLY Recommended. This DVD is a MUST for AiC fans. Layne's voice is strong and vibrant even though his health was very obviously on the decline. This MTV Unplugged is a great reminder of what an AMAZING and truly TALENTED band AiC was...There are NO bands that will EVER capture the raw emotion that AiC was capable of and there are NO vocalists that will EVER compare to Layne Staley...these facts are Clearly evident in this show. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
