Unplugged is a live album and DVD by the American rock band Alice in Chains. It was recorded at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theatre as part of the MTV Unplugged series of concerts and contains live, acoustic versions of the band's songs and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. Alice in Chains resurfaced on April 10, 1996, to perform their first concert in two and a half years for MTV Unplugged, a program featuring all-acoustic set lists. The show first aired on MTV on May 28, 1996

Ultimately, I think this MTV Unplugged album is the best of what Alice in Chains had to offer. With few exceptions, I prefer the acoustic songs on this album to their studio counterparts. They just seem to resonate more in the acoustic setting. In the end, Alice in Chains Unplugged serves as the band's crowning achievement as well as a testament to wasted potential and what might have been. All Alice in Chains fans should own this album, as should anyone who's into alternative rock, grunge, or hard rock in general.

Alice in Chain’s MTV Unplugged was performed on 1996 at Brooklyn’s Academy of Music Majestic Theatre as part of MTV’s unplugged series. It was their first show in three years due to Layne’s drug problems. It features Scott Olson as a guitarist. It features songs from Sap, Jar of Flies, Dirt, and Alice in Chains. A new song called Killer is Me was also debuted. MTV Unplugged Q&A.

Episode VI: MTV Unplugged. It is April 10, 1996. Alice in Chains, almost broken by the severe drug addiction of one of their central figure Layne Staley, get back together to perform a concert for the first time in two and a half years. The MTV Unplugged series is an opportunity for the band to perform an all-acoustic set, providing a completely different, stripped-down experience from the hard-edged outings that most had heard of them before. While it is a classic performance, and arguably the best Alice in Chains album, Unplugged would also mark the end to what the band would never manage to achieve again. Alice’s classic era was over after the day this concert was performed, and they damn well knew it.
