Great..but sad as well. Review on Unplugged - Alice in Chains

This album is great!!! Alice in Chains always had the best albums!! It is very bittersweet though. This album was recorded after a long silence from the band because of Layne's serious and eventual fatal drug addiction to heroin. I must say that even in his weakened state of health that Layne really was able to give a tremendously moving performance. The rest of the band of course was at their optimum as well. I feel sad every time that I listen to this album because I know that it was the last time the band ever got record or perform together before they broke up. I know that the disease of addiction was just too much for any of them to handle. Layne tried for years to beat it, but it killed him. If you like this band at all this is an absolute must have for you. I can guarantee that you will enjoy this album. I am so glad that I have it. The beautiful music that this band created will be missed by many people. They still get regular airplay after all of these years. They were some of the best musicians that I have ever heard. If you have not listened to this band you really should. Listen to the lyrics and you will get a glimpse into the hell that is the reality for millions of people who suffer from drug addiction. KUDO's to this album.
