At one point during Alice In Chains' entry in the MTV Unplugged franchise, Layne Staley thanks the crowd and says something about everybody having a good time, though "a good time" is not exactly how I would characterize the proceedings. This is a dark, somber affair, as can only be expected from AIC. The mood is set with the opening track, a slowed-down and mournful "Nutshell," with second guitarist Scott Olson adding some shivery chords. "Brother" is also played slower than its original version, and the band drops out for the third verse to let the words and vocal harmonies sink in. The troubled self-titled album was just a few months old, and so four of its tracks are aired, including the Jerry-sung "Heaven Beside You" and "Over Now," the latter of which exceeds its somewhat leaden studio version.

... end, and Layne slurs noticeably, though this may have been an affectation since he doesn't do it on every song. On the other hand, "Frogs" is aired in full, and its dragged-out ending section still manages to sound woozy and disorienting even in this stripped-down setting. Layne's rising desperation on "Why does it have to be this way?" is even more powerful than the original version. Elsewhere, we get competent renditions of "No Excuses," "Rooster," "Got Me Wrong," and "Would?" and a new song called "Killer Is Me," which one of them introduces with a silly hillbilly voice. The other great moment is "Down In A Hole," though I still prefer the version on Dirt. This is a rare unplugged album that is an essential addition to a band's discography.
