He was just ridiculously good live. Better than recorded. Jesus, the whole band. I would give any thing to have been been able to see them live back in the day.
Saw them in 93 at lollapalooza in Rhode Island, insane show we pretty much just went to see them got to see Tool, on the 2nd stage Rage Against the Machine, and Porno for Pyros too but Chains stole the whole show. Primus headlined we ended up leaving shortly after they took the stage
💯 Born in 91’ and didn’t really grasp or hear AIC until I was 17 but man Layne I know will forever be my favorite vocalist all time as long as I’m on this earth, Love Layne Forever Missed! ❤️❤️
You could have the most talented singer in the world cover this song, and yet it still wouldn't come close. Layne's pain and sadness define this song. There's really no word that exists that can describe it.
Layne staley was the best vocalist ever. He just touches you everytime he sings. I feel so much with the songs and him singing. It’s like magical, calming and sad at the same time. It was too amazing for this world
Wild, was just looking for AIC shows from 1993 and absentmindedly clicked on this….low and behold I was at this gig, Screaming Trees opened! Saw Layne at WoM earlier that day. He wasn’t in the best mood then, very tense, but all smiles at the show.
Pretty good chance he was nearing dope sick and waiting, according to Mark Lanegan that was the MO in every country as they couldn't bring with them so before every show they were tense trying to get right. Thankfully he did, cuz sounds like you got to hear an amazing show, this is absolutely one of my favorite renditions of Nutshell, truly epic!
Every time I hear nutshell I cry because it saved my life literally many times .I seen aic 24 times since I was 12 I seen the original lineup in philly a few times , Pittsburg, even my dad enjoyed them snd took me on road trips .
+josbold12 agreed. The unplugged version gives me chills every time. The only thing better about the album version is Jerry's outro solo. Without electric guitar it just isn't the same.
+Uniform Tango 74 the version from when they were in Japan sounds better and has no crowd noise as it's a clean soundboard recording. it used to be on RUclips I guess somebody took it down.
Wow! I never thought I’d find a live version of this song rather than the MTV Unplugged! Thanks for uploading! And hmmm, so this song existed even before the actual release of the EP in 1994...
Kool to see someone with some sense, guy commented on one of their other live performances from end of 93 calling the person who posted a liar and idiot, because it was impossible the performance was prior to the release of JOF. This performance is epic, just saw link below, be awesome if has video.
dos_mas Thanks for the link, great video. Not same show, this show must have been late 93 after they wrote JOF stuff in September, so Nutshell not on video. Either way, it’s a great concert video, thx again.
Great question. I often feel extremely saddened that there's not a ton of video of Layne, makes me feel cheated since you see so much of celebrities these days. BUT also I am extremely grateful for what we do have of Layne and I cherish every video, song, interview, story, photo and any glimpse of him that we do have.
Makes me miss my old life I feel like I don’t have one anymore. I drink to suppress the bs I gotta deal with sometimes I can’t take it. Just found this song today and makes me feel like I can but I can’t. I miss how my old life was I miss my brother and my mom.
The beginning of Dirt tour we had Iron Gland/Dam that River as a start and Angry Chair/Man in the Box for the ending, by the end we had Nutshell and Rooster with the clip intro filling those spots, i wished we had more footage avaliable from that tour
Super love for this version! just something SO special about Layne's crisp vocals & the timing is just perfect. To say Layne's a one of a kind is an understatement. He is missed more than words can express 🌞🌕✨
I give everything to have a chance to help him, to save his live. Im to a heroine addict for 18 years and i feel his pain. Thanks God i make progress last 5 months, Getting of methadone right now on a small dose! Imagine if he been alive how many more beutiful music the band has been produce!
We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find And yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead Oooh... Oooh...
2pacinseattle id say they came onto the stage behind the sheet they always start with so you can see their sillottes before they start with something heavy like damn that river or them bones or again just my 2 cents worth :)
@@francisninomindana650 Taking drugs is one of the worst ways you can deal with pain- I know from experience. Kind of hard to change once you've gone down that road though....
@@ericlorback6751 drugs is the only way to feel happy or atleast something. Marijuana is a gateway drug because it gives a feeling of nostalgia, when times were happy. Then you're shooting H and nodding out into pure bliss
Not true actually bands wrote songs well before putting them on an album. For example Nirvana played "rape me " as early as 1991 but wasn't put on In Utero until 1993

Fuck, every time I hear Layne it hurts all over again. It feels like we were robbed.... unfinished 💔
Exactly! I feel the pain of losing him in every word.
❤️

The guitar just sounds so wonderful and the rhythm and vibe of this song is perfect.
Just like a long dream you realize it's what it is just before you wake up but still wish it was real.
45 years old still listen this unique and amazing music Legend never die
Megadeth, Blood of heroes: "they never die."
So, your statement is true.
40 here and agree 1000000%
52 here.
And still it touch me so f..hard.
He was wonderful.
His soul is wonderful.
Oh that voice, I could just listen to it forever 💔
Every time I hear nutshell I cry because it saved my life literally many times .I seen aic 24 times since I was 12 I seen the original lineup in philly a few times , Pittsburg, even my dad enjoyed them snd took me on road trips .
It doesn't get any better than this. My all time favourite rendition of Nutshell.
Definetly Layne is in another level of singing...
Love when he really sang this song with power🥺
Without even trying. It fucking blows my mind how little effort he had to put in to his singing
@@CynicalRam there will truly never be another vocalist like him...glad we got to be on earth at the same time🤘🏼
This is the most awesome version of the song. Loved it.
***** I agree. Wish there was an another version that has the crowd noise removed.

Before the EP they performed 2 songs a lot usually opening with Nutshell and closing with Rotten Apple both from the Jar of Flies EP
layne and jerry both ON POINT here!
Should we be sad that there are hardly any live recordings of Nutshell with Layne, or happy that a few of them exist out there?
the fact that its rare makes you appreciate it more
The Unplugged version is hard to watch because he seemed in so much pain. I too, wish we had more visuals of this song being performed but...

Why not both? 😢 😭 ❤
@@djspiceflahe had his "signature glasses" on, so it was kind of hard to tell how he looked. 😂
Jerry’s guitar omg
The best

Interesting that they chose to drop the curtain in time for the "If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead" line.
Such a haunted guitar solo..
The beginning of Dirt tour we had Iron Gland/Dam that River as a start and Angry Chair/Man in the Box for the ending, by the end we had Nutshell and Rooster with the clip intro filling those spots, i wished we had more footage avaliable from that tour
Do you have some ? I couldn't find none :(
I feel hopeless about all the suffering happening and at the same time there is a spark of hope that we'll be saved one day.
everytime I heard this masterpiece I feel tears on my face
Just the most beautiful, real band to ever Exist
Super love for this version! just something SO special about Layne's crisp vocals & the timing is just perfect. To say Layne's a one of a kind is an understatement. He is missed more than words can express 🌞🌕✨
6 years later people like me are feeling just the same about that like you did.
Ikr, could you imagine seeing them with they were opening up for Mother Love Bone, omg, that would of been the ultimate concert of a lifetime!
Always close to my heart
Merry Christmas Layne Thomas Staley. Thank you. Nick Christopher.
This gives me chills. Payne's best work!
Miss you Layne
All the comments about layne and jerry... DAMN did you hear mike and sean! FULLY in the pocket..
Amazing Layne
When AiC played their accoustic sets in concert in some places, the fans booed and jeered dafuq outta them.
Esta canción es arte!!
amor para siempre
RIP Layne
thank you for uploading all these videos.
Still love you Layne!
All his live performances were better than recorded songs. I don't know of anyone that has this many songs I can say that about.
I didn't know they did this live besides Unplugged.
The state of vocals by Layne 😱😱😱😱 how sick was In 1996
I love the blue hair and facial hair.
I give everything to have a chance to help him, to save his live. Im to a heroine addict for 18 years and i feel his pain. Thanks God i make progress last 5 months, Getting of methadone right now on a small dose! Imagine if he been alive how many more beutiful music the band has been produce!
I hope you are doing well
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Oooh... Oooh...
Why did the crowd get so loud at 2:15?
I wonder what happened on stage.
Curtain dropped revealing the band. 3 years later you have your answer.
@@Rotttman I wonder if he ever got to read his answer though..
It's amazing how youtube allow long distance AND time discussions that otherwise would be ephemeral.
@@reckermuler1016I wonder if he's alive...
@@Rotttman 3 years later I read your comment hope you doing good man
Such a full, healthy voice comparing with the 3 years later unplugged full of drugs version
There is a significant difference, even heard on a shitty bootleg, lol! I wonder what happened at 2:18
Kim Cornell The curtain they used at every concert came down exposing the band.That´s why the audience had that reaction
God I love this song so much
me too
Just the best
Wonder what happened at 2:18 for the crowd to react like that
miss you layne
Wow. This is beyond.
What a voice ✌🏻👊🏻🔥🔥🔥
LOVE!!!!!!!
Love this live take. Wish we knew the exact date.
that's the Mad season Look
When the drugs don't work an it's make hit hurt inside now you see the heaven again

Awww man I thought it was live video
A beautiful soul lost to drugs. Stay away from them people. It's not worth it.
You don't know what pain is.

Layne is god.
Why is there really no videos of this song live? Only mtv unplugged
โครตเจ๋ง
LINK FOR PICTURE PLEASE
Dude the audience needs to shush there mouth
Forgive them Lord, they did not know.
Hahaha yes!🤣🙄
I dunno, it's great to hear how much fun they're having. Adds to the experience
Rip
I'd like to know as well.
This screams guitar hero vibes..
Poser
Why is it alwayls Germany?
Such a talent what a shame
Ooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooo
Stupid great was Layne. R.I.P.
would be better Layne
ksi vs logan paul
was he even fucking real
How can anyone be speaking during this?? Ungrateful.
bullshit. Jar of flies CD with Nutshell on it was released in 1994, so it's impossible for AIC to play Nutshell in 1993.
Not true actually bands wrote songs well before putting them on an album. For example Nirvana played "rape me " as early as 1991 but wasn't put on In Utero until 1993
+Trey Woodward My mistake.
the song was actually recorded in semptember 93
AIC played Nutshell multiple times in 1993 (WITH VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING). However, the only fake thing about this video is that it's labeled in Frankfurt. They most certainly didnt play this in frankfurt.
Ummm....just because it was RELEASED in 94 doesn't mean it wasn't played live prior to that ! Smh...
