Before "Angry Chair," Jerry Cantrell paid further tribute by playing the intro to "Battery" going into the Hee Haw song, "Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me". Inez and drummer Sean Kinney did pay tribute to Metallica, however, playing the intro to their hit song " Enter Sandman" just before "Sludge Factory". Mike Inez's bass had the phrase "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts." written on it, directed at the members of Metallica who were in the audience and had recently cut their hair short.
Jerry Cantrell has attested to being fairly ill during the performance as a result of food poisoning from a hot dog consumed before the gig. The show marked Alice in Chains' first appearance as a five-piece band, adding second guitarist Scott Olson. The performance was one of Alice in Chains' final appearances with vocalist Layne Staley and featured some of the band's highest charting singles, including " Rooster", " Down in a Hole", " Heaven Beside You", and " Would?", and introduced a new song, "The Killer Is Me". 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. The show was recorded at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theatre and first aired on MTV on May 28, 1996. The band was offered to do the segment numerous times prior to the actual taping before finally accepting. On April 10, 1996, Alice in Chains resurfaced to perform their first concert in two and a half years for MTV Unplugged, a program featuring all-acoustic set lists.
The home video release has received gold certification by 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. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The acoustic version of " Over Now" (originally released on Alice in Chains' 1995 self-titled album) was released as a single.
A new song, "The Killer Is Me", was performed for the first time during the concert. The MTV Unplugged was Alice in Chains' first concert in two and a half years, and contains live, acoustic versions of the band's biggest hits and lesser-known songs. The show was directed by Joe Perota and first aired on MTV on May 28, 1996.
