He literally started drumming just as i read your comment lmao. Increased the bpm by something like x2, in the span of a mere second. Legend drummer ✌️💯
Layne is obviously away with the fairies a bit on this one, but he let something creepy and beautiful loose. I think it's one of my favourite performances from him that I've seen. Also, regardless of his state of mind, his voice always remained flawless.
Maybe he was on something like mushrooms, acid or ecstasy? Could be a possibility knowing him for sure, but yeah I’ve really never seen him this animated before either.
I read your comment 6 years ago and finally found the time to comment.. "away with the fairies" has officially been my alternative to "fucked up beyond recognition" in a formal setting for several years now. Cheers!
The port of Rotterdam takes in over 30 tons of coke a year. Layne was flying! Watch the whole concert. It's difficult for some, amazing to others. I'm on the fence, but his voice is still awesome.
that "over" in the second chorus...the tone...that's the one time i've ever heard his voice not gravelly, but good god. the man was so hammered, and still not only pulled this one off, but blew it outta the water.
Laynes little dance is so cute omg 🤣 (yes I'm aware he's fucked up, but what can you do about it) he was definitely in his own little world that night.....I'll always love him no matter what. Rest in peace sweetie
Love your comment. Way better point of view than those other comments like "oh so sad to see what a substance can do to someone", "oh poor creature 😭😭😭". Come on, the dude was high, so fucking what? He was dancing and enjoying himself and caused no harm to no one that night. Layne surely loved his drugs, there's nothing no one can do about it.
@@dboy2462 A better point of view? Well... I hope you'll never have someone you really love to become a junkie...I'm sure you will change your mind...but I'm not here to moralize and in most cases nobody "positively" cares of junkies or wants junkies around. No good.
@@MLCrow @@MLCrow I'm surrounded by junkies. I deal enough with that matter to know that if someone really wants to use, there's nothing anyone can do to stop them, and the best approach for people who use drugs and for society as a whole is regulating the drugs and letting users get them on medical prescription. Like this doctor who prescribed pharmaceutical-grade heroin and cocaine for hundreds of addicts, turning them into productive members of society: m.ruclips.net/video/Zy_86iVhmkQ/видео.html Layne would probably be alive today if he had access to such a scheme.
Oh Man its Amsterdam ,in 90s capital of junkies in Europe !!!! Im not surprised at all.I went to their show few Days later in Tilburg,Layne look much better
Although he is pretty heavily on drugs here, I enjoyed how he played with the harmonies and just let himself do whatever up there without going super crazy. I miss this guy and wish he could have recovered :(
Layne cracks me up with the hand flapping and head bobbing, inner child is strong here hahaha and yeah I’m not going to bring up him being high because it’s getting old.
What was Sean thinking coming in that fast on the drums when jerry started his tempo spot on. It's like the song took off like a rocket once the drums came in 😂 Oh well... Hah
Jerry played slower than original. Sean tried to correct it, (prolly being very used to Jerry starting slow) But he overcompensated the tempo, and it kinda lost that AIC feel - i agree.
@@MLCrow Unfortunately, the music wouldn't be the same. It's the sad truth. A lot of darkness in the way he sings, especially in dirt and tripod. I wonder what a happier Layne Staley would sing like though
@@darthdarthbinkss Look at how Pearl jam's sound changed as year went by and they all became fathers and settled down , Eddie Vedder is just not "angry" anymore
Exactly what I thought. Jerry set the pace at the beginning and Shaun just upped the tempo way to quickly. Layne's performance is creepy and fascinating though.
Junior Cavero it was cocaine for Layne during this show... but they were the best back then, I love them now as well but I prefer the 90s Alice In Chains
The look on Jerry's face at 1:16 in priceless :-) Come on, who could be angry at Layne's sexy little dance moves... He was probably in his own world that night. Still sounds like a beast, though. Pure talent.
Priceless? Well I find hard to watch Layne here. There's nothing so funny...especially how it all ended for him...dead as a lonely junkie. Sorry if I sound dramatic but it's just the truth (like it or not).
I've noticed in a lot of their live performances that Jerry would look at him occasionally, kind of like he was watching out for his friend. When Layne would really let his emotions power his voice Jerry would look at him to like he was proud or impressed.
Layne has the greatest voice of all time in my opinion. If we’re doing a fantasy draft, I’m taking him #1 overall and putting him in a methadone clinic lol
He was unfortunately a heroin addict if I'm not mistaken. Was really rough because Andy Wood died for the same addiction, a lot earlier but don't think he was a crack addict either. Anyone else from the early 90's got my back? Look it up.
@@stovalish6 yeah if you look it up he was found dead from a mix of cocaine and heroin and had stashes of crack and coke laying with pipes around. He wore a pipe around his neck in his last pictures, he even stated he did heroin and crack for years
If you’re a big fan check out Mark L memoir. He has a funny ass story w Layne on a crack binge. Mark used to cook n sell crack and Layne lived w Mark for a bit after Demri passed until he got his Condo
it's the corporate greed man (that's fuckin layne up) but jerry gives him a good worried glance every once in awhile to show he's looking after him or just ahh;(( idk
Sean is rushing this one ...Layne is playing with the faeries. There was so much peace and serenity with this. Your coulda fooled ne they were addicts. We might say they were trippin on this song but damn does it sound bad-fking-ass!!! I always have loved this song but they play it differently here. Probably being a new and un-made song. Showing it off. Sounds awesome though. Cantrell is a guitar and music God. Plain and simple. See....I Stay Away or Down in a Hole or Don't Follow. Or Cut you In or A little bitter.
@@Faks.09 Man, I wish just once, people would mention Layne without mentioning his addictions or short comings. So fucking what if he wasn't hitting the high notes. And what he struggled with does not take away from what he accomplished. He was having fun . At that exact point in time. Living in that moment. Good for him. Who are any of us to judge?
@@Faks.09 He is hitting the high notes (up to Bb4) they just don't sound as good - though the 2:50 scream is a notable absence. You can also tell Jerry is having trouble focusing on his typical singing tone with the faster tempo.
Se eu estivesse esse dia, nesse show, nessa música, provável que minha cabeça estourasse como um balão aos 2:00 / If I was that day, this show, this song, probably my head burst like a balloon at 2:00
What really sucks, no one wanted to get him some real fucking help, typical American business always wanting another dollar... because they really suck now... ijs
@@daniellevitoriaa840 and crack. In my opinion the crack is the reason he's no longer with us. I shot up heroin for 5 years but it does minimal damage to your body. Crack devastates everything you lose your teeth and your skin gets nasty it's terrible stuff
Holy shit, Sean is playing so fast in this video. I wonder if that was on purpose or if it was maybe an adrenaline thing or someshit. But damn, it kinda sounds cool, but less hazy I guess.
I wish i was in heaven. I've thought about suicide daily for the last year but I'm so scarred that i will end up in hell, in agoonizing withdrawl for eternity, suicide is such a selfish act and God must not want me or he would have "taken" me by now. I don't want to be me anymore, it's a constant struggle, I beg God every night "Please take me tonight" I've fucked my life up beyond comprehension. I don't have legal problems or domestic problems just a really bad drug addiction (Methadone and Xanax) the two worst drugs on planet Earth. Except for maybe that crocoduile shit in Russia or Germany. RIP Layne Mike Dime.
Darrin Connor Hey Darrin you'll make it! I just ask God for the faith that it'll all work out and the end, and He heals me and gets me out of the situation. Just have faith :) I believe in ya!
I hate to see a GREAT song ruined by sped up drumming & a geeked out lead singer. I say this as a HUGE fan of the band. I'm a drummer, & Sean has always been in my top 3 (Bonham, being #1 & "Dr. Feelgood"-era Tommy Lee, being the other). But, he ruined this song by speeding it up so much.
AIC is my favourite band but holy shit they all sound horrible here. I can excuse Jerry because he's just trying to keep up with whatever the fuck Sean is playing. Laynes all kinds of fucked up. Very sad.

damn, I've never seen Layne like this
I had to come back and re-watch this...he looks like a 3 yr old out there or something
He is coked up, big time
Speep balling

Layne f'n Staley!!! Fortunate to have seen these guys in 93
Lucky
I was 12 and too young to go see them damn it why
You're so lucky smh my parents hadn't even met yet
Although he is pretty heavily on drugs here, I enjoyed how he played with the harmonies and just let himself do whatever up there without going super crazy. I miss this guy and wish he could have recovered :(

Layne could be fucked up and still sing amazingly!
...and that's what drugs will do to one of the greatest rock voices to have ever lived...sad as sad can be.
Still not as whack as most of the people on the streets of Seattle today
Jerry was thinking "What the Hell is Layne on ?"
"everything"
“Yes”
Nah Layne was prob wondering what Sean was on 😂
It's a shame how it all ended. What a legacy he left behind!
What was Sean thinking coming in that fast on the drums when jerry started his tempo spot on. It's like the song took off like a rocket once the drums came in 😂 Oh well... Hah
this sojng sounds really good when its sped up a little. That wah though
yeah, major screw up from an otherwise great drummer, this song is supposed to drag, it ruins it, i cant even finish listening.
@@joejones9520lol it’s not that bad ! Still sounds great just sped up 🤷🏾♂️
Jerry played slower than original.
Sean tried to correct it, (prolly being very used to Jerry starting slow)
But he overcompensated the tempo, and it kinda lost that AIC feel - i agree.
Its already been said, but once Sean's drums kicked in the song went into double time? Must have had a bus to catch...
Tony G is anyone gonna comment on how messed up Layne was...I've never seen him act like that before...moving like a toddler or something
Tony G Sean must have partaken in pre concert festivities
Yes! You're right! It must've been hard for Mike :-)!
Layne was high or drunk or both!
he was really messed up
Would love to see Alice release some live ‘93 shows cleaned up with soundboard.
I wish i was alive to see layne staley with alice in chains back in the 90s.
Layne wasn't no studio gangsta...he cud do that shit in real life, no doubt
As great as he was in the studio, Layne was an even better live performer. We'll sadly/likely not see the likes of this kind of talent onstage again.
@@ChrisEdwardsTX I agree he was unique 💗
Layne, Layne, Layne. God, that guy could sing. Was he was high as he looked here? Sad and awestruck at the same time. So damn good, these guys.
most likely..."friends" for profit don't really have much of an incentive to tell you to clean up when the TV camera's aren't around
Lurp65 if your'e insinuating that the band didnt give a shit about layne you should do some research.
He may have been on the weed since Holland is MJ country.
Also, I think he was going through alcholism at this point.
gasmaskboi19371945 yes thank you, He is obviously drunk as fuck
Layne was definitely one exotic American... supremely exotic
Love how Jerry changes the riff throughout, playing the sitar effect guitar like on the studio track
Layne was high a/f during this.
artur cardoso its gotta b coke...I've never seen him act like that...almost like a 3 yr old with ADD or something
Its coke😂
You've been there? How would you know? That is entirely stupid
Sebastian Krajewski he doesn't act like that in diffrent shows
Blow ...they probably didn't sleep much between shows
One of The best songs ever from Alice
Jesus, the world needs Layne back!
no kidding
Yes, but reborn "clean" with his chemical demons destroyed.
@@MLCrow Unfortunately, the music wouldn't be the same. It's the sad truth. A lot of darkness in the way he sings, especially in dirt and tripod. I wonder what a happier Layne Staley would sing like though

HATE SEEING HIM LIKE THIS

Sean is really rushing this one.
Exactly what I thought. Jerry set the pace at the beginning and Shaun just upped the tempo way to quickly. Layne's performance is creepy and fascinating though.
he has a tendency of doing that a lot i've noticed
Sean's like "fuck this song. Let's get this over with!"
Junior Cavero it was cocaine for Layne during this show... but they were the best back then, I love them now as well but I prefer the 90s Alice In Chains
Damn damn damn
Hail Layne God of Voice !!! He was Mr Originality .... Alice are just so cool being themselves
Ha they shave over 20 seconds off the running time of a song that is under the 4 minute mark to start. That is impressive!
Holy Fuck...that's our boy!
Right on Flynn this song kicks major ass!!! i love Layne's movements in this video!
But its much faster than orginal which i perfer. Slowing it down makes it more spooky🎃
Fletcher: are you rushing or are you dragging?
Sean Kinney: rushing
Fletcher: so you do know the difference
NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO😂😂😂
It’s hilarious how it starts at normal tempo then speeds up dramatically once the drums come in.
THE PILLS ARE WORKING JERRY, THE PILLS ARE WORKING!!!!!!!!!
Good god...he sounded so good here
It's hard, if not impossible for me to have a fav Chains song, but this is probably one of mine. #GodDamnILoveThisBand
