Yesterday I posted about how MTV Unplugged was a real challenge.
Get up on that small stage without the amps, without the wall of distortion, and see if you can still hold an audience.
Alice in Chains picked up the gauntlet.
They passed with flying colors.
April 1996, Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Layne Staley was already deep in the struggle, but that voice still cut through everything. Jerry Cantrell’s guitar work stayed sharp and heavy even when it was stripped down.
The whole band sounded locked.
“Rooster” was the one that hit hardest.
No theatrics.
No hiding.
Just the song, the weight of it, and a room that went completely still.

@Fay_Morningstar Earlier this year fuel tank strap broke. Didn’t realize it, truck would die at half a tank from fuel not getting to the sump. Bought an electric fuel pressure gauge and new tank straps. Held off on putting the gauge on because it wasn’t critical.
@Fay_Morningstar My wife used to perform burlesque at one of the bars there. Unless other performers were there just to watch, zero people would be interested in talking.
@MoonMadness17@ShitpostGate She was making a Land speed record run. The chutes failed and she drove into brush at the end of the course at over 500mph.
