Last night I went on the Wayback Machine through the archive org site for my longtime friend and one time colleague . We both wrote for the same online publication at the same time. I wanted to retrieve some of Tim’s articles he’d written for that site. I also managed to pull up some of mine.

This very short piece is something I wrote almost 10 years ago. If memory serves, I was really interested in finding out more about the AiC Unplugged show. I decided to reach out to Danny Clinch. I never intended to turn it into something I’d published. However, with the constant demanding of my former editor, I asked Danny if it would be okay to publish our communication; once I received it - I published it.

In hindsight, I would have researched all the questions I wanted to ask and made it an official request. I did leave that online publication after 2 years because I wrote my own articles and frankly didn’t like what they did there, it was a truest of clickbait websites. Tim left not too long after me and for the same reasons.

One of the cool things is that one of the articles Tim wrote will be one that you’ll want to stay tuned for. Tim & I will be doing a collaboration post on that one. If you don’t know who Tim is, let me just say, he produced Alice N Chains demo back in 1987. He’s worked with Mike Starr, Jerry Cantrell, Ron & Jesse Holt and he’s also a multi-instrumentalist. He’s a singer and songwriter too, that’s just for starters.

Happiest of Birthdays to Sean’s sister Denise Kinney Everett.

This image is usually my last post for the Unplugged Anniversary. I got side tracked therefore, I’m seriously late in sharing. Frank Micelotta captured this haunting image of Layne performing the recording; April 10, 1996. Such a powerful shot that needed to be shared.

I literally just watched this documentary on our Gorge and how the Gorge Amphitheater came to be. It was great to see Mike McCready, Dave Matthews & the Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz (his big break happened there), Steve Miller, Pat Monohan (Train). Especially cool to see photographer Darren Balch in this too. I got a smile on my face seeing McCready share his story about having lost his interest in music and how Stevie Ray Vaughan got him excited about it again. During his time speaking, pictures of his old band Shadow appeared on the screen. It’s important to state the Mike did see Vaughan at the Gorge 2X; his last time seeing him Vaughan would die in a helicopter crash just 6 weeks later. This documentary is on Prime ©2021

Last week photographer Danny Clinch went into his archives and shared both of these images. The first one is a new variation of the one we’ve seen over the years. The 2nd is a panned out view of Layne practicing his acoustic guitar. The one we’ve previously seen is closer to Layne. Both are very welcome additions.








Thank you

On this day 29 years ago (April 10, 1996), Alice In Chains recorded the MTV Unplugged album at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Majestic Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, New York.

This was the first concert they performed, in 2.5 years. A new song, “The Killer Is Me”, was performed for the first time during the concert. The acoustic version of “Over Now” (originally released on Alice in Chains’ 1995 self-titled album) was released as a single. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The performance was released on DVD on October 26, 1999, and re-released as a CD/DVD package featuring unaired footage on September 18, 2007. The home video release has received gold certification by RIAA.

The band was offered to do the segment numerous times prior to the actual taping before finally accepting. The show first aired on MTV on May 28, 1996. It was Layne Staley’s idea to have big candles decorating the stage to keep it dark and moody, as the band never liked bright lights on stage, so Staley himself bought the candles at Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

This album has touched millions of people; many fans, many first time listeners. As I’ve mentioned many times, I feel like this was Layne’s goodbye concert. Yet they went on to open for KISS on 4 scheduled dates.

Friend Scotty Olson (Heart) appeared as the 2nd guitarist. Olson would later return to perform with AiC on Nov. 2nd, 2007 at Benaroya Hall, Seattle.
Cantrell has stated that the band was considering playing the songs “Love, Hate, Love” and “We Die Young” for the set, but ultimately chose not to, chiefly as a result of limited time. Moreover, a few songs such as “Got Me Wrong” and “Sludge Factory” had to be replayed numerous times due to error. Accordingly, the taping took approximately three hours to finish.

Cantrell said that one of his favorite things from the concert was when Staley said at the end of the show, "I wish I could hug you all, but I'm not gonna"

Despite initial negative reviews, the album eventually gained more recognition and praise after the death of vocalist Layne Staley, mainly due to his powerful performance despite his condition, and is now considered an iconic live album. Alice Pattillo of Metal Hammer considers Alice in Chains' MTV Unplugged as the best live album ever made.

Oops! Almost forgot to share the official gig poster for today’s 32nd anniversary of Alice performing at the Salem Armory in Salem, Oregon.

For all of you who purchased the Dirt 30th anniversary boxset, this poster is 1 of 4 that came with the set. I have the original one since I attended this show. Hower, it’s rolled up and would not be flattened enough to scan.

This date started the 2nd leg of the US Dirt Tour, which would last through September (Lollapalooza was still part of AiC’s US Dirt Tour).

Life seems to be so fickle. Since my attack last November, I’ve been in therapy, I shared more details about what happened to me. Details I could never share. Overall therapy has helped me in other aspects of my life. I highly recommend people going. One of the things I’ve learned (and I’ve shared with 2 people), I’m responsible for how I respond to what’s said to me.

I have apologized to those necessary for some of my responses; I didn’t expect a response and of course I didn’t get one. As I get older I’ve learned that reflection is a wonderful thing. You can’t change the past, you can only try to understand it better - through that reflection.

I’m going through a very challenging time in my life and have been since the beginning of 2024. I’ve been living in limbo since then. I can tell you it’s a horrible feeling.

Regardless of what’s happening in my life, I truly believe it’s temporary. I’ve been praying and trusting in God more now than ever before. As they say, “This to Shall Pass” and I hope it does.
