Thirty years ago, the raw, emotional power of Alice in Chains delivered a masterclass in acoustic intensity. Their iconic live album, Unplugged, recorded at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for MTV Unplugged, is celebrating a major milestone today, prompting a timely celebration and a highly anticipated reissue.

To mark this anniversary, fans are getting a chance to revisit this legendary performance in a new format. The album is being reissued on vinyl for the first time in years, offering collectors a tangible way to experience the magic of the session.

For those looking to own a piece of this history, an exclusive ruby vinyl variant is available for pre-order now. This limited edition adds another layer of collectible appeal to the already revered recording.

The quality of the performance remains undeniable, setting a high bar for all subsequent live interpretations. The emotional depth captured on the record speaks volumes about the band’s creative peak.

This timeless quality has drawn praise from other heavyweights in the music scene. Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage recently included Unplugged on his list of ten albums he recommends for listening to while hiking in the woods, calling it a “Flawless and untouchable classics album.” He added that it is a record that can be put on repeat endlessly, solidifying its place as a band at their absolute peak.

The tracklist itself offers an intimate journey through the band’s powerful catalog. Side A features essential tracks like Nutshell, Brother, and the gripping Sludge Factory.
