They agreed in 1996, and the show was taped that April in Brooklyn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set draws on every Alice in Chains release up to that point except the debut, \u003cem\u003eFacelift\u003c\/em\u003e. That omission was not deliberate: \"We Die Young\" and \"Love, Hate, Love\" were prepared and then dropped when the taping ran short of time. Four of the thirteen songs come from \u003cem\u003eDirt\u003c\/em\u003e and four from the 1995 self-titled album, with two each from \u003cem\u003eSap\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eJar of Flies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stage was dressed with lava lamps on a late request. Nobody had warmed them beforehand, so the wax sits almost still through the performance. The lighting technician matched the backdrop to Layne Staley's hair, which he had recently dyed pink, and a separate color scheme was set for every song in advance, the band having handed MTV its setlist before the taping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Over Now\" went to radio as a single in July 1996, and the acoustic \"Would?\" followed in October. The Brooklyn taping was the last headlining performance Staley played with Alice in Chains; he died in 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Excuses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSludge Factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown in a Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngry Chair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRooster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGot Me Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven Beside You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWould?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Killer Is Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNine Alice in Chains albums sit on the shelves at Evergreen Vinyl, counting this one: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-facelift\"\u003eFacelift\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-dirt-black-vinyl\"\u003eDirt\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-jar-of-flies-vinyl\"\u003eJar of Flies\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-alice-in-chains-translucent-highlighter-yellow-vinyl\"\u003eAlice in Chains\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-live\"\u003eLive\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-greatest-hits\"\u003eGreatest Hits\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-the-devil-put-dinosaurs-here\"\u003eThe Devil Put Dinosaurs Here\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/alice-in-chains-rainier-fog\"\u003eRainier Fog\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 886919794724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sbme Special Mkts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.30.96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":50091112726686,"sku":"EVP-F2339C29-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/AIC_Unplugged_AlbumCover_d5f6bad3-353a-4f12-bf7a-520624ad0d85.jpg?v=1792592055","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/alice-in-chains-mtv-unplugged-cd","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
