- This video shows a time lapse set up of The WOW HALL Then the entire show of Alice In Chains. This footage has never been released and can only be seen here.
Due too a lack of media material IE:VHS tapes. Gruntruck was not recorded. I apologize to the Band. They Rocked. I will have some video of Gruntruck from an earlier show.
WARNING: LANGUAGE
.
A month before Dirt came out. The audience quickly realized what a treat they were in for.
Lucky Bastards!😄
The smile on Layne's face when he realizes he doesn't have to blow out his vocal chords singing his parts in Man in the Box, just let the crowd do it.
just get that song out of the way, then they could start to play the new album and he could really belt
Even with the sunglasses on you can see it "Holy sheeeeiiiit.... " Like it just dawned on him that they made it.
No hard feelings LA or Chicago fans but Oregon audience rock and crash !!!!
Yes its so cool! And he looks over at jerry and then back at Sean like "holy shit, do you hear and see this?!"
Haha! 17:19 😀
Alice in chains need to be in the hall of fame already😂
Screw the hall of fame. Real fans and bands don’t need acknowledgement from those pricks.
Hall of fame sucks!
You all are so under educated not only in life, but in the sound of music.
Its a shame
@Angus Malroy i bet you work at a super market
@EvanF, normally, one would have to go to a bowling alley to meet a person of your stature...
Layne looks great and sings great in this. Super sad he's gone, but not forgotten. He needs to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame....
He looks emaciated asf. 1990,91 and 93 were years where he looked the heatlhiest. This year was horrible for him.
@@aleksastamenkovic5526 Yes he's thin and his voice also sounds a bit 'thin' too. He was using heroin when recording Dirt.
They definitely should be in RRHOF, even tho it’s a joke.
This is a truly legendary performance that happened right on my birthday!!!

Thanks bro!!
Thanks bro... 👍😎
Thanks dude!
Thanks
Fucking hell, the vocals are basically just as good as in the albums. I'm shocked
I was at this show. My buddies dad worked at a local radio station and got us on the guest list. I was 15 or 16 at the time and it was a great show. Feel grateful I got to see them.
I didn't see you there.
My Dad was the opening act for Gruntruck and Alice In Chains. This is a hidden Gem! My dad's band was Mad Edgar
thats sick asf bro
I REMEMBER MAD EDGAR
@@nocturnal1667 Do you by chance know anyone that would possibly have any footage of them live? My dad lost all of his recordings. If you know of any venues in eugene that would have some old green room tapes that would be kickass!
@@pcs2k dude mad edgar rock. what did your dad do in the band?
@@SludgeMan90 lead singer
Bless the beautiful person who just gave us more live Alice in their prime!
That is so Awesome seeing Layne smile! Nice job crowd! When a crowd was an actual crowd!!
Not a cell phone in sight
The Wow hall is a great venue to this day
I saw them both nights, such a magical time. Layne asked me for weed from the stage.
Woah! did you provide Layne with it?
Lol at 26:41 Layne says “I’m still waiting for that weed” lmaoo
You are one lucky ass dude!!! What memories you must have!!
Wow, tell us more! Wish I would have been there too. Must’ve been cool, talking with Layne.
Dude you can't just leave us hanging like that! What happened?!
To experience them live at such an intimate venue. I cant imagine!! So sick!! 🙌❤️🔥
I have to say, it's SO refreshing to see the audience just dancing and enjoying the show fully...instead of everybody standing shoulder to shoulder all holding up their cellphones the way people do at concerts today. Everyone here is enjoying themselves the way they should at a show. That is something we have lost unfortunately. In many ways i wish cellphones would cease to exist.
Completely agree. I miss the days of no phones. Just sweat and have a good time with no silly gotcha moments or poser BS
yup, we absolutely rocked the f out no judgement
It might not be exactly the same but when I saw them in 2018 it was mostly people doing what you described not all holding up phones like robots smg
It is also kind of mind boggling to realize (with the assistance of RUclips) how many of these important shows from acts during the early/mid 1990's were recorded and are thusly preserved for posterity. None of us noticed or cared about camcorders being there because we were having such a good time. Someday we also may be thankful for all of the cellphone footage that is currently being recorded too. Agree that concert goers rarely seem in the moment because everyone wants proof that "I was there!!".
Thanks for uploading this, my friend. I really appreciate it. This is something very important for history.
Rain when I die and sick man live is rare and badass.
Rain when i die is seriously a masterpiece.
AIC has basically been my co-pilot through this pandemic.
AIC has been mine since Dirt album (1992).
@Paula Very good👍
They've gotten me through the Puerto Rican flu many times in the past.
same. every day it's what I wake up and look forward to
So good. Just soooo damn good lol
I'm sitting here watching, trying to place myself in 1992 a month before Dirt came out, hearing these songs for the first time before most anyone. I would've have been absolutely floored. Still am almost 30 years later.
I love this sentiment, I felt the same way!
it was incredible. Seeing Cantrell come out with one of Eddie's Ernie Ball guitars that hadn't been out for very long was cool too. There's a neat story behind that guitar on his Gibson's icon video of you like that kind of stuff.
This version of Rain When I Die is so damn good
Check out this similar version they did the next day:

Soooo... 2020 has somewhat redeemed itself with this treasure! A huge Thank You to the uploader!!
The best comment I’ve seen from 2020 right here.
Layne always cares so much for the fans he always gave it his best to me layne has the most amazing voice and his range is unmatched the band is amazing there will never be another layne !!! I wish we all could go back in time and save him and show him just how much he has touched our life’s and how special he was much love Layne RIP !!!
My band ❤❤❤❤ i m forever in love with alice❤
It is amazing that no matter what, they can't release a bad song.
Thanks for uploading this. I miss Alice. I was never into the whole grunge thing but AIC had some cool well written tunes that I could relate to. His voice. Damn. Jerry's riffs just fit so well.
As a side note, when my daughter was in elementary school she was told by one of her teachers that was helping out for the Christmas show that she needed to sing from the diaphragm. She didn't understand what that meant so I said it wasn't about just taking a little breath and singing, it's about taking a deep breath and pushing it up from the bottom of your chest. She said "dad, show me." I had Dirt on the car stereo so I did the ending of Would? at full gas - about twice the volume level of what was on the car stereo. She looked at me like I was possessed by the Devil. She knew I had taken guitar lessons and spent years learning music theory based on guitar but didn't no anything that me singing.
Memories: sitting with your 10 year old daughter in the driveway belting out "If I could, would you?" and then having mom ask her when she came in the house after an hour of driveway vocal fun if she was sick because her voice was jacked. She wanted to keep going until she could get the final "you?" correct. Yeah, it was an octave higher but she got it.
You were never into grunge yet like one of the archetypical grunge bands okay
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 I wasn't into grunge? How do you know? While I wasn't completely invested in it there's more than a few songs from Alice, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, the Melivins and Nirvana that I really liked. There's a lot of Metal, Thrash and Death Metal bands that I like but I don't like everyone in that genre and don't get me started on rock, blues and classical music.
@@Swampster70 Because your first sentence disclosed that you senile. And now you’re admitting to even the Melvins, soundgarden, nirvana, and Pearl Jam-what grunge bands are there even left? The poser bands that jumped on the band wagon that no one remembers or listens to anymore? If you like five bands/artists of a genre, it’s safe to say you’re a fan. Particularly of grunge which is a relatively small genre with a brief reign.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 There are more grunge bands than what you think then. FYI it was not any of those bands that started Grunge. Nirvana did popularized it. Grunge is a scene; not a genre. Out of all grunge bands I'd even argue AiC is the least grunge soundwise as they are rooted in blues/metal not punk. Also, Swampster70 guy said he is not a fan of grunge why dispute it and call him senile tf? Dude just sharing a nice memory related to the band geez.
@@jaimecucalon2804 I know there’s more I was referring to grunge bands I suspected he liked and does. I’m aware of mudhoney and the Melvin’s. Also, Alice In Chains is based on blues? No they’re not. And grunge was a kind of hybrid of metal, punk, and pop. Alice In Chains by Dirt and especially by self titled and jar of flies was as grunge as you can get. Down to the morbid somber subject matter and dressing in flannel and ripped up jeans.
Was lucky enough to see them on heir first East coast tour opening for Extreme in 90', knew nothing about them even though Facelift had been out about 2 months as Man in the Box hadn't yet exploded at radio. Just recall Layne blowing my mind live, no one was that powerful as a lead singer at that point that I had seen. This brings back some killer memories !
Have you seen someone as powerful live since then?
whoever recorded this and whoever uploaded this, thank you so very much.
Yea this was one hell of a great performance.
I love how the wide shot looks like it was a high school cafeteria....meanwhile they were getting first hand exposure to the definitive album of the 1990s
astonishing quality! so happy to see Layne crisp clear for once!
I wish I could have worked in production during these years. All analog gear. The simplicity of everything looks awesome.
Yeh but heavy as hell😂
Holy shit I was at this show. First time I had ever heard them. Me and my band were sitting there slack-jawed at how damn good they were. $5 to get rocked like this isn't half bad if you ask me. And yes Mookie Blaylock/Mother Love Bone AKA Pearl Jam rocked it too. Corrected: I was at a previous show in Feb '91not this one. This was a later show and was $12.50 to get in, still an amazing deal.
Clarification 4 Kroder: Skinyard + The Accused = Gruntruck, who were also f'ing amazing! ruclips.net/video/dj36B3FgS5s/видео.html
What are you talking about? Gruntruck, with an R, had absolutely nothing to do with Mother Love Bone or Pearl Jam, other than having members from generally the same area. Silly.
Where is this place located at? i want to wisit it :D
@@shadowsneak3875 Eugene, Oregon.
@@MichaelSmith-dj2of You are right, I went to the show before this at the WOW Hall that had Mookie/MLB/Pear Jam open. That was in Feb 1991 before Dirt came out. This is in August 92 after the album came out. My bad. Corrected my comment.
Junkhead is AWESOME! Thats a one off performance with super cool vocals nuances. I've never heard him sing it like that.
Watching this makes me super happy and super sad at the same time. AIC was the soundtrack of my teen years in the 90's and I listen to them at least twice a week even now. I just miss Layne so much - he was our Jim Morrison.
I miss him so much too. He's my favorite singer of all time. I listen to them just about every day, but sometimes I just have to take a break and not listen to them for the day because it just makes me so sad. Or ill listen to their new stuff with their new singer William and I am happy that aic is still going. Mike was cool too.
@@malloryarroy9887 Well said! Mike was a beast on bass, I miss him too. And I agree, their new stuff with William is really good. I love the old stuff but I appreciate what they're doing with new material as well.
This is phenomenal footage. Thank you! From the bottom of my heart.
Yea this was one hell of a great performance.
Merry Christmas Draven.
I'm 62 and jumped on the grunge bus when MITB was released about when the movie singles was released. I just found this today 12/24/22. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting.
Layne always makes you feel it in your soul
From a genuine Aic fan THANK YOU for this Gem! Layne Staley forever
Great to see Layne wide eyed and so animated. Slaying the vocals.
Rain When I Die live is just-
*chef's kiss*
As someone born way after layne’s time this is so special, thanks for the post
Layne is so healthy and smooth and strong. I never knew he was this beautiful. I always loved him no matter what but in all these years I never realized he could be like this. I'm stunned and blown away! Thanks so much for sharing this.
Not healthy, neither is he strong. I mean did you watch the video? He looks sickly thin and this was when he started to use heroin a lot more. The only strong thing in this video is his voice, and its still a noticable difference between his vocals from 1991 to 1992
@@aleksastamenkovic5526 I thought this was after he got out of rehab - not sure when he picked up again, but I thought he looked pretty healthy too. That vocal crack in Man in the Box isn't necessarily an indicator of health, that's a hell of a high note to belt so early in the set. I just know about a year later he looked much worse.. and couldn't hit those highs as cleanly.
@@99bajakid Layne really went by the months after he started using honestly since his sobriety was so on and off at points
Saw this tour at Evergreen State College then saw them again in Seattle about 2 weeks later with Screaming Trees and Gruntruck.
Wow, this is a true gem! New footage of AIC with Layne is incredibly precious! Thank you so, so much for sharing! ❤️
Thank you for this awesomeness!
I would give anything to have been at that show. I was 13 at the time and my parents wouldn't dream of letting me go to live shows. As a NW Oregon girl, it kills me that I missed out on this show and on the RHCP/Pearl Jam/Nirvana Salem Armory show a few months earlier. Thank you for uploading this footage.
I was 14 years Old milion Miles away in Europe Poland don't even think I will ever see any of AIC live in my entire life... I did't as Layne passed away SO early but I feel you Oregon girl! We have this footage and many more🤘
This is what I was watching new years eve/night! 2021
Sounds like a great nye
@@symphonyinkart
Indeed it was!
Back when going to a show was fun...!
Going to ANY show today would be fun... Fucking viruses, man.
This show was one hell of a great performance and great singing by Layne.
By far the best rock band of the 90’s if not all time 🤙
Yesssss best band ever
Maybe close second behind Soundgarden.
@@newageassholes HA! Love Chris Cornell & co, but AiC takes it for sure. Soundgarden close second.
Awesome close footage as well as a treasure. "...since these guys are stupid enough to let me play guitar I'm gonna do it..." ha.
Thanks for this!!
This variation on the "Rain when in i die" chorus voice is fckn beautiful. No other word.
G O A T....Undisputed! Got Dirt on cassette in early '93 and it was only album I brought with me for a 4 day surf weekend. Listened to both sides over and over. Even on the way home, beat ass tired and arms like spaghetti I was hyped and happy because of this album. It just lined up with my life at the time! I absolutely love Facelift, but this was a monstrous follow-up.Thank you to who uploaded this. You deserve a medal!
Thank you for posting this! I was there! First time I'd heard any of the 'Dirt' songs except "Would?", which had already been released on the Singles soundtrack.
I love seeing the set up process
Please do not delete this. This is historic and belongs in archives.
That stage is SO SMALL!! 😄
Rain when I die.. highlight .. thanks for posting!
Try this Rain When I Die they played the following day:
ruclips.net/video/-3ESRaJ95v8/видео.html
I was there. Great fuckin show. My son found this and sent a link. Thanks for the upload. Too bad about the Gruntruck set. It was great also. It was a small crowd all things considered. But it was great. Wow.
18:21 surprised to hear Layne's voice crack in '92, and at the very beginning of the set too. Wonder if his vocals were gassed from previous performances? I like how he used the audience to shoulder some of the workload though. I would have done the same thing heh
His voice wasn’t warmed up yet. Usually a song this challenging would be placed later in a set, unless the vocalist took the time to really warm up beforehand.
@@deadletteroffice-atributet3261 On the same token, a song like that can be a bitch to sing even when warmed up. Like how Maynard said he kicked himself in the ass for writing songs that are just hard to pull off especially when road haggard, warmed up or not. So I can see getting it out of the way early in the set.
This is around that time they did the junkhead and would performances on that one show where Layne wore the same clothes and had the same vocal problems.
@@deadletteroffice-atributet3261 I totally understand but when ur one job is to sing and u know u have to be warmed up for a song it's on u to do that ahead of time. But since he continued to struggle the rest of the set it's likely not warm up issues.
He was moving into Heroin which sucked out his motivation. However, all of their oldest songs were a challenge!
Holy crap this is a great show! A near-future greatest hits of Dirt-- every song a homerun! Thanks so much for posting
rain when i die & junkhead are amazing AF on this, thankx a million times 4this upload bruv
Yes agreed, thanks for sharing this brilliant video with us all brother, thank you so much.
Thank you. This truly timeless. The best band ever to grace our planet.
Thanks for posting. I love the different way Layne sings the chorus in Rain When I Die.
Thank you 1000 times over. I was 15 and hadn't yet ventured out of Medford for shows. I have been to many parties there in a later life lol
I was here and I would search RUclips at least once a year as I hoped it had been recorded since it was playing on the TV in the bar. I was standing directly in front of Cantrell with my hands on the barricade. Wish I would've went to the second night as well. For me, this was one of those shows seeing an amazing band at an amazing time in a small venue. Pretty sure White Zombie played here within a couple months of this show. Thank you so much for posting.
If I had a nickel for every time someone yelled, "Play something from SAP" I bet I'd have at least 10 bucks lol
Awesome footage! That "Sickman" intro... insane!!!
Time Warp ! 1992 was a Great Year ....Much Respect for Sharing this Gem .....Miss Layne ..... and Mike ...
Really cool to see how they put the stage together prior to the show 🖤 quite the production. Really gives you an insight to how much budget rock bands had back in the day
What an amazing part of W.O.W. Hall history. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
What a way to wake up your vocal chords kicking off with Man in the Box.
I love that they immediately got it outta the way too.
38:40 Layne on guitar for ‘Hate To Feel’ 🤘🏼
He wrote the song, same with angry chair.
@@dohmsdek463 and head creeps from tripod
@@Faks.09 ah nice!! didnt know that!
Thank you for posting this gem!! Layne looks so healthy! ❤😎👌
I don't see any "healthy"...
So being pale and gaunt is considered healthy to you? This whole year was horrible for him.
Right on, Dread. Wasn't at this show, but North Eugene HS class of 1985 thanks and salutes you! I'm sure some of my classmates were in this crowd. A couple of 'em even made it to the Offramp.
Nice touch with setup. Real time capsule.
thank you thank you thank you , I've been looking for this show online hoping someone had filmed it, i was at this show and this was a night that changed my whole life sending me down the path of being a musician and playing in my own band. i cannot thank you enough for uploading this show... i got to meet the band that night as well, its a night i will never forget and now i get to watch it again. you don't know how much this means to me and i cannot thank you enough Master Dred!!!!!!!!
i still have the flier and my ticket stub signed by them...
did you talk to someone from the band
Unseen of Layne in his prime before the fall.. unreal.. thank you so much for this!!
Awesome! Saw them later that year in Oakland with Layne in a wheelchair. "I got a broke leg, thank God it ain't a broke dick!"
This is so amazing we are able to witness this piece of history! Thank you.
Big old thank you to this channel!! Another gem!!! ❤❤❤❤
Jerry on the Music Man, beauty - Great Concert thanks for the upload
@Andrew Salter no shit? Never heard that, thats awesome. I wasn't around back then but I'd like to believe a lot of guys picked those music mans up because of Eddie 🤟
This band knew how to make good music, for sure. Layne was put on the earth to do this, and him and Jerry were the mightiest pair of any musicians, without a doubt. The only thing that bothers me about them is that I was never able to see them Live, but then, that's not they're doing now is it? I love their music...
They’re still playing tho but without Layne 😿
amazing footage! what a great show! thank you for sharing.
Jerry is incredibly gifted as a guitarist and songwriter. I've seen him look at the other guys during shows and smile which makes me love him even more.
Bin wieder 17! Das ist soooo gutes, geiles Material. Ich liebe diese BOOTLEGS von früher. Echt, nichts geschöntes selbst der Sound ist suuuuper, weil eben echt. So klang und klingts in Clubs, und der Mix ist geil, wirklich, nix geschönt, nicht over the top einfach nur geil und scheiße ist die Band on the edge...ich durfte sie auf ihrer Tour mit Screaming Trees sehen oder eben nur nen Song aber das ist ne andere Geschichte. Danke für dieses Juwel. 4 ever AIC....bin echt berührt und so glücklich dass ich sowas gefunden habe. RAW AIC, powerfull, healthy, sounding great, and the club is on fire like it used to be back in the days....Vielen Dank für den UPLOAD.....thx thxthxthxthxthx.
Love Alice In Chains. They’re all super good looking and so talented. Better than the rest of the bands in my opinion. RIP Mike&Layne
2021 still listening to Layne🤘🏼🙏🏼
2024 ❤
This literally made my year!Thank you!!!!
Much gratitude for this post!
I remember when this happened. I think I had to work or some other stupid nonsense, which kept me from the show. I am still mad at myself for missing this one.. BUT now I can finally watch it!
Thank you!
I saw this tour in Yakima WA. I recall they used the term " shitty cities tour". Grunt Truck was absolutely awesome as a opener. They did songs from Dirt though it wasn't released yet. Layne, Jerry and Sean kept asking for weed and cocaine from the audience. Think I paid $15 for my ticket. I still have it. At age 58 I still tell people this was a kick ass show!!!!
Thank you! I was 15 in 1992 and this was my favorite band!
Same here, although, I wouldn't really dig them until the next summer during 2-a-days preparing for football. The seniors played Dirt and Ten non stop in the weight room, and I owe them that much. 92 was still kind of GnR's moment with the Illusions.
I was at this show. Seeing it now, I remember it like yesterday. Thank you for posting this.
Such a Great Time For Music ! Thanks for Posting
Sure was!
Geeez what a treat! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for the upload, seeing Layne so energized is awesome.
Jerry and Mike, you are the best for all this 30 years ❤. Layne rest in peace Legend 😢
Wow, it's amazing what the road crew has to do to perfect a great performance!! Pretty Damn Cool!!!
We work hard. 2020 has killed our industry. This is going to be the saddest, poorest xmas of my almost 50 year life.
Saw them at a small club for free around that time , unfortunately don't remember much but through the magic of RUclips can see what I missed without any after effects which is great !
As an overall fan of music, I have always enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes action of how a live show is put on. Esp from the roadcrews perspective. From loading in to loading out, the production side, maintaining the bands gear, and sound check.. Its always been fascinating to me. I have so much respect for how hard these bands road dogs work. Awesome footage. I think this is after they did clash of the titans and I can totally see Jerry being inspired by slayer and stepping up his game with his wall of Marshall full stacks lol.
Every once in a while when something seems too good to be true,,,,IT IS !!! YOWLZA !! Thanks a bunch for sharing. Great start to 2021.
Rain when I die sounds so good here
Layne didnt sing the chorus like on the record but that was probably before he decided to do it differently for the record. Still great though.
@@kevinmckenzie6736 that's what I was thinking, maybe it was a working version. I wonder if there's an outtake on the record, using this vocal take - how amazing would that be!
This is greatness!Thank you.
Damn can You imagine the Incredible Music Layne & Jerry would be making Today
Sad that The Best Songs are those of his Truthfulness about his Addiction that was slowly killing him
RIP Layne Your Presence in the Music World is Greatly Missed
