Sean is such a great drummer. A unique style that always compliments the songs well. His drumming in no excuses was so tasteful and accented the song so well.

Especially on His degradation trip vol1&2 record, that album is so dark and depressing and heavy but man it’s incredible and super relatable. He really channeled that darkness and hard living and loss into a truly incredible album. record is as dark and any AIC stuff imo and Jerry was at his true low point in life, it translated to amazing music but I’m glad he was able to clean up afterwards, if he didn’t he’d probably no longer be around.

Barely any rehearsing at all, guys not showing up - the same s---. Rolled out there and everything worked. Right then is when I knew, 'OK, if we never do anything again, I’m good with this.

In about six hours I'm going to be burying the only man I truly considered to be a brother. He had struggled with his opiate addiction for most of his life, but things are much different these days.

As if you weren't already before Fentanyl tainted the supply, but still, incredibly more risky now. People are dying so quickly, they can't even get the needle out of their arm.

Alice in Chains had the best unplugged out of all the musicians who did the unplugged concert. Layne was an amazing singer and its breath taking the way he harmonized so beautifully with Jerry. Its comforting to know this unplugged will be there to remind everyone how great AIC was and that not so long ago music could speak to and touch your heart and your soul. Alice in Chains has been my favorite band since I bought the self titled album when I was 14. Their music has been there for me through some of the hardest times in my life. Like listening to Jar of Flies, the music takes you somewhere in your mind and you feel like the lyrics were written just for you. Jar of Flies is a musical masterpiece, the lyrics will get you in the feels. If you listen to Jar of Flies and don't feel some kind of way, then your not human. I wish I could go back in time, set in the front row and feel the incredible atmosphere in this place while they are playing. If I had a magic lamp that would be my first wish. Lol.

It’s Sad To Hear This Especially That This Was The Last New Song Alice In Chains Put Out There In Acoustic. I Wonder How It Would Sounded If It Was On A Record. Rip Layne 😢

[@cuse038]

I read that jerry said this song was like Queen of the rodeo that it will never ever be recorded

Rest in Peace Layne, it's now 2019, 17 years later and I will forever play your body of work.

18 years now. R.i.p. to my fav singer of all time Layne 😎

Удивительный концерт, с какой-то невероятной, меланхоличной, интимной атмосферой. Деликатные барабаны Шона, глубокий бас Майка, Джерри-моторчик, вечный двигатель группы, автор потрясающих песен, и Лейн... На Лейна особенно больно смотреть - не человек, а выжженная изнутри оболочка...Но несмотря ни на что он поёт, не во всю свою силу, но с чувством, от души. Голоса его и Джерри - как гармонично они оттеняют и дополняют друг друга. Моя глубокая благодарность всем этим музыкантам, которые записали и подарили поклонникам этот шедевр.

Согласен, Марин. Один из лучших Unplugged

"Let Things Be..." I struggle as much as they did with this...even now after my own tragedy...

the bass player and drummer are FANTASTIC

[@charliegirl-9154]

The credits are epic, thanking everyone from Silver Management, dog trainers to Lawn Care professionals... these guys were AMAZING. ❤ 🎶 🎸 🥁 🎤

[@starlitblond]

Even though I've been listening to them for decades.. it's just recently that I developed a huge crush on Jerry. I think it has a lot to do with him in this show. And he still looks and sounds SO good today. Still never saw them play live. Someday!

[@rockgirlemilyavery]

He is really hot!!!I agree,then and now!💋

[@johnmo8029]

Watching him go out there in that shape and perform like that is real.

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

This song has such a chaotic sound and feel to it

[@nina-uq5nx]

The last part made me cry..Layne i wish i could hug uuu😔❤

[@Hyzerfl1p]

I think this is my favorite of the set

[@jmangi6221]

My absolute favorite band from this era of grunge. Super talented. Every song is just brilliant. Nothing like that nowadays.

[@brianbouley2117]

Everyone they thank at the end in the credits, even in their darkest hours they still had a sense of humor

[@drowsynectar6173]

Strange, I've listened and watched Alice In Chains MTV unplugged so many times but somehow skipped over the last song in the set. I have never heard this song by them, or at least I don't remember hearing it. It's beautiful though chilling.

[@jimnyjaye5281]

It wasn't on some, possibly the early CD releases. Something like that.

[@drzal8553]

Me too - so I looked it up and learned MTV cut this song from the set.

[@connoriquada5429]

“I wish I could just hug you all… but I’m not gunna” you can tell Jerry got a bit of a kick outta that 😂😂👌🏻

[@nickmckinley6981]

After watching the new interview with Jerry and Lars this is much more sad than it already was before

[@chrisb3142]

Damn Inez played guitar on this one an Scotty played bass!!! Never realized that before

[@shilohpuppy5649]

Look even closer and Inez was playing the ascending chords then the descending chords and not Jerry. THAT was amazing.

[@lepuscuniculus7527]

5:26 so genuine. We miss you

[@marinhobrandao]

Every time I watch this unplugged, I have a big wish I could just time and space Travel and give a tight hug on Layne.

[@emotionallyexhausted1410]

"AN EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU FANS FOR STICKING WITH US ALL THESE YEARS. PLANS FOR A GROUP HUG ARE TEMPORARILY ON HOLD. BUT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE SCHEDULE CLEARS UP." - I'd say this performance inevitably turned into our group hug. - But I'm still waiting on that Jerry! 😃🤘🏼

[@lauraduncan2125]

Wait, what?

[@jamesdupont1239]

I didn’t know Scott and Mike switched guitars for this

[@Monchi2006]

I just noticed that now too andi used to watch this constantly on dvd

[@andrewdyke5561]

That's not mike starr

[@MIKE-TYTHON]

The bassist new the guitar part which I guess is pernicatey and the new guitar play who was playing rhythm for most of this performer probably just played the bass cause it’s an easier part I think he only had a few days to rehearse this cause he was fairly new to the band

[@guitareater6975]

@@andrewdyke5561 it’s Mike Inez you dipshit. The band’s bassist since Starr left. No one ever said Mike Starr.

[@shilohpuppy5649]

@@andrewdyke5561 We know! It's Mike INEZ!

[@WMsandKFCisBackMOFOs]

Still sends shivers down my spine.

[@blown22]

Man, I had forgotten that Scotty switched to the acoustic bass and Mike went over and played the harmonics on acoustic guitar for the closer. Fkn awesome way to end it!

[@Mr.SirMan]

This one hits hard

[@giannicappellotto3507]

I love the transition between the joke of Jerry and the beggining of the song, it´s just fascinating how the atmosphere of the session changes.

That main riff is so chaotic and sounds almost….uneasy. Yet, I absolutely fucking love it

[@jekku4688]

Jerry & Mike hugging...I'm sure they knew that was one of the final live performances with Layne. It was probably much more emotional being there than we know. Would have loved to see the camera following them around after the show a bit more, so we could see them chatting with Metallica and others in the audience. Wondering if Layne stuck around for a bit or if he made a bee line to the restrooms to shoot up, since the show went on for quite a stretch (for him, anyways). So powerful, poignant and _painful._ Layne was just a shell of his former self. Even the pink hair couldn't cover that up. 💔😭💔😭💔

[@bigp_YT]

My favorite band all time.

[@johnzenger7880]

I felt like magic was captured on this album. On a whim I bought it not knowing much about Alice In Chains. One of my favorites to this day.
