You'll love it, especially if you liked the more harmonious and toned down portions of Dirt. AiC's semi-acoustic releases (Jar of Flies, Sap, Unplugged) were all outstanding in my opinion.

BUY IT NOW! This review was basically spot on, and I agree that the vocal interplay between Staley and Cantrell was one of the most underrated aspects of AIC's music. In fact, I really think Cantrell in general is a very underrated vocalist. I'm glad he was allowed to do more lead vocals on the self-titled AIC album.

Trust me. If you have an open mind and can enjoy what's basically a Bob Dylan-ish acoustic folk album (Staley even, probably deliberately, sounds a bit like Dylan in the verses for Nutshell).

I love the band's little quips/jokes during the Unplugged performance. Such as the way they randomly started playing the Enter Sandman riff between songs.

Man, I love Dylan. Sounds like a great combination!

Yeah, especially after Metallica (at least James) were such fuckwads to them.

My favorite, and I may be off by a few words:

Layne: I would have to say this is the best show we've done in three years.
Jerry: Its the only one. Its the only one we've done in three years.
Layne: Well...its still the best!

:lol:

And who could forget (after the final song):

Jerry - "Thanks, that was really fun."
Layne - "I wish I could just hug y'all. But I'm not gonna."
