The record
Unoff. release.
Title: Alice in Chains – MTV Unplugged
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1996, Rock, Grunge, Seattle, WA
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Band Drama: This was effectively a public “are they still alive?” moment—one of their first full shows in years, filmed while Layne Staley was deep in addiction and largely isolated. The band had to operate around his unpredictability, which is why the set carries the tension of a reunion and a farewell at the same time.
-
Media Narrative: MTV marketed Unplugged as authenticity theater—take away the amps, expose the band. For Alice in Chains it became something darker: a mainstream broadcast capturing a band in real decline, turning private crisis into a cultural artifact that fans still debate ethically.
-
Scene Ecology: The room was stacked with peers (Metallica, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam), making it a Seattle-era “witness night.” Mike Inez’s bass message (“Friends Don’t Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts”) is a snapshot of that inner-circle humor—grunge veterans ribbing Metallica’s Load-era image shift while the whole rock ecosystem was changing.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
