Mr Blonde in a urn in his mothers house. No afterlife pal. Just eternal darkness in the fucking void. Religon is a lie to stop feeble minded fools from losing it.
You go do what you want after you pass. Well, if you're even aware you're dead. You may not be as strong a high frequency as these motherfuckers or Olympian athletes. What do you really know bro? Maybe Layne could've been reincarnated if he had the ability to choose. Energy can't be created or destroyed.
if I had to name one reason why I hate heroin, even over my own addiction years ago, I would say I hate the shit for taking this guy's life. Fucking incredible voice and person.
+Dennis Clark It's so rare to hear people get and stay clean. I'm so happy for you! I hope you'll be able to kick the drinking. It aint no life. No good life. We humans need to feel wanted and needed. Like we matter. If one just are home all day without doing nothing, it doesn't give us meaning.
If every one of you who kicked, and can stay off would just tell a dozen people to never touch the shit would be a great public service. I'm so glad I've never got caught up in the skag, junk, dope, whatever you want to call it. Seems like those who get hooked walk through a door they can never come back out of because even if you're clean the urge is always there. Good for those who can give it up, and if you can't, keep trying
J J yes less can be more they say! One album, (soooo SPECIAL) that began as a “rescue mission” for Layne; therapy/recovery for Baker & Mike. Super Group doesn’t even begin to describe them, this is an amazing piece of work! Another is Apple, luv it🤘
Born & raised in SeaTown, I was fortunate to see everyone from Mother Love Bone, Nirvana, PearlJam, Soundgarden, MudHoney, SuperSuckers, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Candlebox, Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains in the late 80's thru mid 90's and this show, Mad Seasons, standing just left of center balcony level. watching many different band members from different bands descend down into their own abiss and prisons, weakening physically, emotionally, and vocally, but this was a very special night and show whereas a mutual appreciation between band and audience grew as the night progressed, and you could see a light on in Layne that i hadnt seen in some earlier AIC shows. It was truly a magically time to be alive, and to witness one of Rock's all time greats taken too soon from us.Enjoy and if you are suffering and dealing with addiction or mental health, talk to someone, be proactive and know there is hope and a better way to live!
Daniel Anthony Plant lol, not at all trying to boast or brag...I wish everyone who loves these bands as much as I could have or if they are still around see them in concert as I did. But thanks for your comment
Sikpuppy lol, i was joking, but u know u are a fucking lucky guy, im sure u have some really good storys about that time, if i could only watch andrew wood or layne staley on stage like u, i would just be much more happy haha.
Yes sir, I only saw them once and wasnt impressed. Vocals were off and seemed to be having alot of tech. problems so they just played a really short set list. But hey, I'm sure if I caught them again they would be great,still love their music,.
I mean, I'd say a lot of his stuff could be classified as country music here and there. There's no way the country music establishment woulda had shit to do with Lanegan, even though Johnny Cash was a huge fan himself.
No human being can be as flawless of a singer as Layne without some vices his happened to be drugs. The amount of pressure to nail it perfectly every time the pressure from his record label to produce to tour in withdrawal constantly must have been overwhelming the weight of having to carry such a burden everywhere he went must have pushed him into seclusion to see himself beautiful and amazing whither away into oblivion must have been horrible and frightening,embarrassing,and disappointing. Is there anything left to feel every single day that wouldn't destroy a person? I'm so sorry Layne I get it and there will never be another like you thank you for gift.
I LOVE LAYNE!!!! Layne sounded better live than on CD, the energy of the performing in the open air of a venue just juices him musically like nothing else... He didn't need to rehearse per se, his voice was never anything less than AMAZING! Yeah, when other people are in a band with you everything needs to be tight, but his voice was just phenomenal. No one can touch it. I want to go back to 1995...or maybe a few years earlier and watch him, Never did get to see him live. We lost so much after losing Layne. 1996 is when his long time girlfriend/fiancee Demri Died of an overdose. This was just a year before...I don't think he cared as much after she was gone. I was born thirteen years after Layne, damn did I miss out, on so many bands, but I did live to see them when they were alive at least on TV, some in concert. I wish was a little older and had the option of going to more concerts, or maybe just going to Seattle to live and join the scene. We have not had a musical talent explosion like the Seattle takeover around 88-2000 since the sixties. WILL we ever see anything like this again? Layne is irreplaceable. He had it all except every day he woke up feeling dead in a way we can't comprehend. I feel lucky to have been there to see MTV play AIC and all of the sweetness of the 1990's. What ever happened to the old MTV that really was MUSIC TELEVISION? Today it is mostly crap, gone are the glory days of REAL MUSIC VIDEOS! We need new music. The crap that these rich and gigantic record companies put out today is a poor excuse for music and is intended to be autotuned, nevermind talent or ability, just throw the "performer" at a plastic surgeon and autotune their voice, give them some prewritten songs to use and voila! A new act to drag in the dollars. Makes me sick to see "Taylor Swift" on here with millions of views from kids who have no idea what music really is. Rest in Peace Layne, WE MISS YOU! DAMN IT! WHY DID YOU LEAVE US? WE LOVE YOU FOREVER. See you one day, I hope. Can't wait to see the band in heaven. It seems to get larger every week. This year we have already lost too many, BOWIE released his last album, had a birthday, then promptly died. Then others, famous and talented, all getting older or sick and dying on us. They lived rough and too many others have died young. Hope you have found peace, Layne. I believe you have. Love, Tif
I totally agree with everything you said!!!! I WAS alive and of an older age when I discovered AIC, and kicking myself for never going to see them back then….. I’m just now appreciating how INCREDIBLE both Layne and Jerry were together.😭😭😭 Now, however, I’m completely addicted to them and cannot stop listening to them!!! Mad Season too. It’s literally almost all I listen too. It used to be Korn, but now it’s totally AIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will always be and always was Taylor swifts , talentless performers prompted up by record companies, remember Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears?
You will NEVER be forgotten Layne. You are missed so much. I hope you know how much you were appreciated n how remarkably talented you were. Your the best male vocalist EVER! R.I.P. Layne n Baker
Melissa Carlucci unfortunatly he will never know. No proof that heaven or hell or any after life exists. Probably just eternal darkness in the void. Scary to think right? Probably why religions were made way back to stop crime rate and give everyone a faulse sense of security and hope to stop feeble minded people from going insane.
Here we are 17 years later and Layne’s voice and story are getting me through a tough time. Your story and legacy live on, thank you for everything, Layne, you’re loved by so many! It’s crazy how I feel like 25 years of listening to AIC and Mad Season a few years later, I’m just now really understanding and listening to some of the lyrics and they’re punching me right in the gut. I hate that we lost him to such an evil thing... I like to imagine all the music we’d still be getting from him. RIP Layne. ❤️
Best singer there was I cried when he died because it was a waiting game but deep inside I always wanted him to clean up his act but he was too beyond that after his soulmate died
I absolutely love Mad Season and AIC - the best bands in music history because of beautiful, sweet Layne. He has such a beautiful voice filled with so much sadness, and the lyrics with guitars are so amazing. There is just something about Layne that really touched my heart so much that I created a music studio in my home and decorated the studio with pictures from this Mad Season concert at the Moore and AIC MTV Unplugged - two best concerts in music history. And Layne is so beautiful inside out. Everyone keeps saying how bad he looks during these shows, but I think he looks very beautiful. His hair is soooooo very beautiful. Just a really beautiful guy. I can't really talk about beautiful Layne in the past because he lives on through his amazing music. Also, when I found out that he is wearing gloves to cover his track marks, that made me feel even more sad. I wish someone helped this amazing, beautiful guy. Every time I watch this concert and MTV Unplugged, wanna give beautiful Layne a huge hug
THIS? Was SO much fun to watch. The part where the guys start getting a little playful with the music-- it brings a sense of lightheartedness to something very profound. Lovely see Layne obviously so engaged and thriving here. I can't help thinking that if all the band members had been allowed to stick with Mad Season instead of having to go back to their contractual obligations with their bands, Layne might have been saved, after all. Thank you to whoever shared this glimpse of this amazing timein music. :-)
I'd love to think that but I doubt it'd have saved Layne. Demri would likely have still died and he would have given up completely. He was just way too bright to stay on this planet.
Deeply saddens me that this talent is no longer on the planet... I play the shit out of this album!!! Layne was an amazing singer and artist. Miss him. Noone like him. XO RIP my dude. #heroinblows.
This art came from suffering & I for one am glad we got what we got from Layne & totally understand why he wouldn't hang around & suffer another decade or two so I can hear more songs. I'm grateful for the gifts he blessed us with while he was here
Mike , thank you for making the effort to put this band together , When it came out in 1995 I was 28 years old the similarities it echoed with my life at the time touched me in a spiritual way no other album ever did or has since , It was a sif it was written for me and me alone! Again Mike,, thank you for how ever you did it !
I'm a month away from 28 and I feel the same lol but everyone that likes this music prob feels the same way. Personally, I struggle with alot of the same things as Layne (addiction, loss of hope, etc), but so does everyone in this life at some point or another. Rock on everyone. 🤘
@@greygod8141 and just about everyone involved in this project...layne and bassist dead from heroin..who knows how Mark is alive and Mike got clean and it stuck...the drummer is the most normal dude and he lived with being in screaming trees all those years
Yes-most people would have said putting so many addicts and newly-clean folk together was a mistake;but ths guy was thinking of his colleagues as musicians and friends first; and worthy of more respect than that....really respect that.
Layne and Mark together had a great harmony, I mean Layne and Jerry were the best but Mark brought his own dark vocals and presence with him. Christ, I miss Layne, man.
You watch Alice In Chains at The Moore in 1990 and watch this 5 years later, Layne is 2 completely different people. Drugs destroyed him physically but his voice never changed.
@@OcelotDAD started in 1996. Can here it during Unplugged. That's why he sat with his right side to the camera. Left asde was absent a couple. Can see it in some stills from Detroit Kiss show.
Amazing vocal range @ +5:30 mins.!! Layne, you were truly epic. Even in sickness the man was a true performer in every sense of the word. AIC unplugged is more proof. Author, thanks very much for contributing this addition
@@jimstogey4986 he was not clean during this time. you are very naive. they were supposed to do shows in new york and la but layne didn’t want to leave his crack and heroin routine.
So true! If just people who struggle with mental issues and low self worth could see a little bit of what others see in them! This guy was adored by millions!! And most of us loved him because of his insane talents! He could play the drums, he wrote the most amazing lyrics and he sang like no one else! But it seems like it's never good enough for them. Or they don't believe people who tell them how great they are. It's so sad. You mention Kurt Cobain. I'd say Scott Weiland also was pretty much the same. Amy Winehouse too. It's heartbreaking how these out of this world talented people feel like they are totally worthless. I wonder what they would need to actually get that they are loved.
I truly love this sooo very much!!! I get very emotional watching and listening to Layne and so sadden by the bassist too such talented guys, Barrett Martin is an awesome drummer and thanked goodness for Mike McCready putting this band together love you forever!!!! I love Layne and hoping your in peace in your heart and soul R.I.P Layne Staley and John Baker Saunders ( bass player) 😇💝🌹Thank You for sharing this awesome video 😊💓🤘✌️
Very grateful for this contribution. I never have enough of Layne. His voice fills me with tranquility as well as the chords are so calm, though his lyrics makes you feel sadness and suffering, it's really hard to explain.
+Brad Birmingham And I thought I had everything he/they had done...all the rarities, unreleased, bootlegs, you name it. How the f did I miss this the first time I searched for "Live at the Moore" to rip it off here?
+Greg Reeder How do you "Rip" the audio off of here, and can I take this audio and put it on my own ipod? I wish I was 20yrs younger, I would probably know how to do it myself. LOL Thanks for any info. :)
+Chris J google and dL Ant Downloader for your browser, use that to grab the vid then get a free mp4 to mp3 converter and rip the tunes. There's other ways but that's a pretty simple one. Google is your friend :)
Thank you. thank you. and thank you.. who ever posted this thank you, pure angel........and whomever filmed this that day when this happened...thank you and I love you.
I never saw Layne live. I was a young fan in the early 90's, and loved AIC... Because of Layne's voice mostly... Layne always felt alone in a crowd. I miss you so much Layne. He felt dead inside long before he left us. I miss his presence on Earth. He made it a better place. Crying now. RIP Layne, Hope you found happiness that eluded you down here on this dirthole.
I got to luckily see them 3 times, once while Layne was in a wheelchair with a broken foot, still kicked ass, I believe Motorhead and AIC opened for Ozzy.
He tried, he had already paid for and attended "the best" rehab facilities in the country 13 times. I guess some people are past the point of an N/A meeting working for them. It's sad, but I think Layne just kind of accepted the fact that he was going to let his addiction win, but I do give him props for trying. He really did try, he backed out of huge multi-million dollar gigs (like touring with Metallica in 1994) to go to rehab again. As the years went by, Layne became more and more reclusive, then his health and appearance started deteriorating (which made his stray away from the public & media even more b/c they had bashed him and talked negatively about him so much in the past), and before you know it, all the positive influences slowly start to fade away & there you are...alone with your addiction...so I can see how his addiction progressed. I know he knew he was dying, he even said "Slow suicide's no way to go" in the "Wake Up" lyrics in 1995, and I believe he just accepted it & thought it was his fate----I just hate thinking about how afraid & helpless and alone he may have felt in his last days, when in reality he had millions of fans who would've given anything to be by his side, or even just speak to him for 5 minutes. His lyrics & music saved so many people's lives---I just wish he would've known that he was so much more than just a musician/artist...he spoke directly to people's soul...he was a HERO. I wish more than anything he was still here, but I am grateful for the beautiful music and legacy that he left behind. But he did try to get help...13 times. RIP Layne **WE LOVE YOU**
@@jimstogey4986 No, he wasn't. He was FAR from clean here. Mike Mccready even said that they all tried to get him to stay clean, but he was using heavily again by this show.
@@mandyjuelz what he needed was to feel loved, everyone always wanted something in return, very sensitive caring guy. I think if felt like someone truly cared ,would have felt better in his head
Love the Sax and bongos. Definitely not instrumentation you see within a rock band. Mad Season could've definitely taken it far. Then again, so could Mother Love Bone and ToTD. All 3 supergroups, however, left us with 1 album each and for that I'm grateful. Any time I get to see, hear or watch Layne in any capacity makes me happy. Miss you brother!!
I think his pride got in his way from being addicted, then Demri, who he adored and lost from her addiction, that's what got the best of him!! He will Never be forgotten, his voice was amazing and those lyrics, gave me chills every time I listen to him!! RIP Layne I hope your looking down and see how much we love you!! Truly missed!!💔🙏⚘✌
The music and lyrics hit deep at home with me I'm sad that he didn't beat the addiction that took his life I have been clean from heroin for almost ten years and wouldn't never go back to it I'm thankful for what I have accomplished with awesome family and my daughter has made me see that I'm loved and needed,if you think that it's bigger than you it's not the demon has you fooled because you are stronger than it can ever be and don't let nothing convince you otherwise because you are loved and needed by people that love you and the demon blinds you of the sight of that you are better and bigger than the addiction. I respect everyone that has battled with addiction and won and recovered and for those that can't be with us today from addiction you are greatly loved and missed and you will never be forgotten
Thank you for sharing this. It's always a great honor and pleasure to watch this incredible artists and their performance. 27 years later I still listen to Above and it's still the most important record for me.
Dixie T OH MY GOD! You are so ignorant. He was clean during this time. Do your research! Mad season was a band created by Mike mccready when he met baker in a rehab facility in MN. Mike jammed with bakers a few times and tgen came up with idea to be in a new band with members who were all clean. Barret on drums. Baker on bass and mike on guitar. They then needed a singer and Mike knew tgat layne was struggling with addiction trying to get clean so he invited him to jam with them as a alternative to try and help Layne get clean. He WAS CLEAN DURING MAD SEASON. DO YOUR RESEARCH. IGNORANCE OMG
Jim Stogey maybe cool down just a little bit and continue your research... www.popmatters.com/169666-i-dont-wanna-be-a-soldier-an-interview-with-mike-mccready-2495769346.html ""Layne was not healthy," Eliason has been quoted as saying. "Heavy, heavy drug use ... the problem was getting him there. We were in cahoots with his roommate, who'd help get Layne off the couch and point him in our direction. "Layne would show up and he'd go back to the bathroom and be doing dope back there and you'd wait for hours before he was ready to come back out. He was pretty open about it. I asked him, 'Why? Why are you doing this to yourself?' He said, 'I'm either going to drink or I'm going to do dope, and drinking is harder on me.'"
At the end when they were talking off camera was as real as it gets. I have been clean for 8 years after 5 rehabs. It’s a shame that Layne didn’t get the help he needed, but we have the music as they say.
Thank goodness someone recorded this!! Layne was amazing & truly missed by so many of us! It was like he was signing just for you to you!! Mike ass kicking guitar player!! #MadSeason forever
Must have been very uncomfortable to play the guitar wearing gloves, but beautiful Layne plays the guitar so well. So much incredible talent the guy has!
I feel so lucky to grow up listening to these guys & all the music of the 90s!!! Watched the 91 AMA on YT the other day & noticed a comment saying how versatile everything was, black & white artists & music intertwining with one another seem to blow the minds of younger kids today!!! Makes me so sad, kids today are surprised when people sound good live, sing songs with meaning & actually play real instruments!!! There's a very real reason why Layne, Kurt, Chris & many others are missed so much.... They take a piece of our youth, innocence & future could of beens when they go!!!! I wonder how different the world would be if they were here today🤔 RIP LAYNE💔 u truly are missed more than u will ever know 😢
The voice of an Angel! God Layne if you only knew how much you've helped me through hard times, whether it was with AIC or Mad Season you touched my soul unlike any other vocalist! Thank you for all of the amazing music you made... I hope you are resting easy brother... and just know that its not only me you've helped but countless other. See you on the other side when its my time!
Sweet Layne, i love to see you playing guitar. i wish we could've met but i was born in 1994 so i was just a baby from Spain... at least i have your music to help me go through life. i miss you. X
What a gem. Thanks for getting this out there. I love duo with Lanegan - haunting...these lyrics are taped over my monitor with mic ready at all times to sing along ... oh babe, come on down.
una bestia ese layne staley un verdadero dios entre los vocalistas del rock, que manera de resolver las notas, tiene una voz de rock and roll absolutamente natural
I really enjoy watching the creative process as it's refining. Great talent, elements you wouldn't think would work but do. Thanks for the upload AIC Fans. :>)
I have the Mad Season record! Tower Records was going out of business in 1996…It was clearanced for like $6 or so. I still have the receipt too…Somewhere…. I ❤️ and really miss Layne Staley. Always will have a place in my heart….
I have the "live," commercial release on VHS. When I got it the Mad Season LP had been out for a couple of months. I must have watched that concert 10-12 times the first day. It's that good. I watch this now and look at the men so full of life and promise. At least 2 of them have since died from their addictions.
A voice that got me through some tough times. Wherever you are Layne I hope you know how much you're still loved.
Mr Blonde in a urn in his mothers house. No afterlife pal. Just eternal darkness in the fucking void. Religon is a lie to stop feeble minded fools from losing it.

Joe Byam hear that it's a fukn shame took too many good people
Sikpuppy thank you brotha! It makes it alot easier when you have a good girl!
If every one of you who kicked, and can stay off would just tell a dozen people to never touch the shit would be a great public service.

Seems like those who get hooked walk through a door they can never come back out of because even if you're clean the urge is always there.

Yoour never too old to get out and see some live shows. How was Trapt live? Where did you see them? Mentioned the Candlebox show in the comment below.
Layne letting his beautiful curly hair grow and voice never disappoints 🙏🏽❤
Mark Lanegan is so damn underrated. I’ve had this record since it came out and I still jam it. Such a dark album that still resonates to this day.
i can't believe he died this year
#06/08/2022--I think Mark L missed his calling as a country music singer--
I mean, I'd say a lot of his stuff could be classified as country music here and there. There's no way the country music establishment woulda had shit to do with Lanegan, even though Johnny Cash was a huge fan himself.
I'd go as far to say that at least half of Whiskey for the Holy Ghost is country to a degree while the rest is more blues.
@@rosekittygraykittyjackkitt9676 Could say the same for Blues, but they're not that far apart
No human being can be as flawless of a singer as Layne without some vices his happened to be drugs. The amount of pressure to nail it perfectly every time the pressure from his record label to produce to tour in withdrawal constantly must have been overwhelming the weight of having to carry such a burden everywhere he went must have pushed him into seclusion to see himself beautiful and amazing whither away into oblivion must have been horrible and frightening,embarrassing,and disappointing.

Music now a days just doesn't have depth like this. It's so beautiful.
It’s because it’s all ProTools, they barely know how to play their instruments these days. Computers fix it up later.
Here we are 17 years later and Layne’s voice and story are getting me through a tough time. Your story and legacy live on, thank you for everything, Layne, you’re loved by so many! It’s crazy how I feel like 25 years of listening to AIC and Mad Season a few years later, I’m just now really understanding and listening to some of the lyrics and they’re punching me right in the gut. I hate that we lost him to such an evil thing... I like to imagine all the music we’d still be getting from him. RIP Layne. ❤️
Best singer there was I cried when he died because it was a waiting game but deep inside I always wanted him to clean up his act but he was too beyond that after his soulmate died

i love seeing staley play guitar without the vocals ..the tone is so dirty.
I absolutely love Mad Season and AIC - the best bands in music history because of beautiful, sweet Layne. He has such a beautiful voice filled with so much sadness, and the lyrics with guitars are so amazing. There is just something about Layne that really touched my heart so much that I created a music studio in my home and decorated the studio with pictures from this Mad Season concert at the Moore and AIC MTV Unplugged - two best concerts in music history. And Layne is so beautiful inside out. Everyone keeps saying how bad he looks during these shows, but I think he looks very beautiful. His hair is soooooo very beautiful. Just a really beautiful guy. I can't really talk about beautiful Layne in the past because he lives on through his amazing music. Also, when I found out that he is wearing gloves to cover his track marks, that made me feel even more sad. I wish someone helped this amazing, beautiful guy. Every time I watch this concert and MTV Unplugged, wanna give beautiful Layne a huge hug
THIS? Was SO much fun to watch. The part where the guys start getting a little playful with the music-- it brings a sense of lightheartedness to something very profound. Lovely see Layne obviously so engaged and thriving here. I can't help thinking that if all the band members had been allowed to stick with Mad Season instead of having to go back to their contractual obligations with their bands, Layne might have been saved, after all. Thank you to whoever shared this glimpse of this amazing timein music. :-)
I'd love to think that but I doubt it'd have saved Layne. Demri would likely have still died and he would have given up completely. He was just way too bright to stay on this planet.
I love how Layne's voice was so powerful that he barely had to open his mouth for it to be heard X X
Deeply saddens me that this talent is no longer on the planet... I play the shit out of this album!!! Layne was an amazing singer and artist. Miss him. Noone like him. XO RIP my dude. #heroinblows.
Sophia Spyratou yes..it does
This art came from suffering & I for one am glad we got what we got from Layne & totally understand why he wouldn't hang around & suffer another decade or two so I can hear more songs. I'm grateful for the gifts he blessed us with while he was here
Mike , thank you for making the effort to put this band together , When it came out in 1995 I was 28 years old the similarities it echoed with my life at the time touched me in a spiritual way no other album ever did or has since , It was a sif it was written for me and me alone!
Again Mike,, thank you for how ever you did it !
Wasn't Layne also 28 when it came out? or around 27
I'm a month away from 28 and I feel the same lol but everyone that likes this music prob feels the same way. Personally, I struggle with alot of the same things as Layne (addiction, loss of hope, etc), but so does everyone in this life at some point or another. Rock on everyone. 🤘
@@greygod8141 and just about everyone involved in this project...layne and bassist dead from heroin..who knows how Mark is alive and Mike got clean and it stuck...the drummer is the most normal dude and he lived with being in screaming trees all those years
Yes-most people would have said putting so many addicts and newly-clean folk together was a mistake;but ths guy was thinking of his colleagues as musicians and friends first; and worthy of more respect than that....really respect that.
Layne and Mark together had a great harmony, I mean Layne and Jerry were the best but Mark brought his own dark vocals and presence with him. Christ, I miss Layne, man.
😢Mark is gone too
You watch Alice In Chains at The Moore in 1990 and watch this 5 years later, Layne is 2 completely different people. Drugs destroyed him physically but his voice never changed.
His voice changed for sure. Listen to him on Facelift and then on Above or the self titled. Completely different.
OcelotDAD his voice change also had a little to do with the fact he started loosing teeth and developed a lisp
@@krism8950 he hadnt lost any teeth in 1995. You can only hear the lisp in the 1998 recordings, especially Get Born Again
@@OcelotDAD started in 1996. Can here it during Unplugged. That's why he sat with his right side to the camera. Left asde was absent a couple. Can see it in some stills from Detroit Kiss show.
@@JR10_RR really? Ive heard the unplugged countless times and Ive never noticed a lisp. On what songs do you hear it?
Who can sing every song in one take..." Staley"
bnol löbö lbo vv. Andreas Karlsson true !!!
Andreas Karlsson I’d like to agree so much but on the Alice In Chains unplugged album he messed up sludge factory...
@@getar5260 Not only there
dermitdendreir yeah
He was a legend and pulled out that performance. RIP Layne. You are forever missed.
One of my most prized possessions on vinyl.
Duey Jones holy shit really? Kick ass
Yea sucks drugs took LS away. Thank God we have audio/video of these Gold performances. Look forward to seeing LS on other side and drink a beer.
Amazing vocal range @ +5:30 mins.!! Layne, you were truly epic. Even in sickness the man was a true performer in every sense of the word. AIC unplugged is more proof.
Author, thanks very much for contributing this addition
Rob Garrett 5:30mins is the end of the song?there is one line here.Think you mean 2:00mins.
+Rob Garrett
possibly my favorite song by him
Rob Garrett Layne was actually clean during this time. Please do your reasearch before making faulse accusations.
Ann he quit during this time. It was part of the deal for mad season. Look it up
@@jimstogey4986 he was not clean during this time. you are very naive. they were supposed to do shows in new york and la but layne didn’t want to leave his crack and heroin routine.
I want my Staley and Cobain back. Music isn't the same anymore.
I wish u could see yourself thru our eyes.
RIP
Totally agreed.
So true!
If just people who struggle with mental issues and low self worth could see a little bit of what others see in them!
This guy was adored by millions!!
And most of us loved him because of his insane talents!
He could play the drums, he wrote the most amazing lyrics and he sang like no one else!
But it seems like it's never good enough for them. Or they don't believe people who tell them how great they are.
It's so sad.
You mention Kurt Cobain. I'd say Scott Weiland also was pretty much the same. Amy Winehouse too.
It's heartbreaking how these out of this world talented people feel like they are totally worthless.
I wonder what they would need to actually get that they are loved.
Cobain has no reason to come back. He was always suicidal. Layne and Scott Weiland.
Galaxeus and Andrew Wood
Niomi Elston great way to describe the talent but I want the whole decade back!!!!
I truly love this sooo very much!!! I get very emotional watching and listening to Layne and so sadden by the bassist too such talented guys, Barrett Martin is an awesome drummer and thanked goodness for Mike McCready putting this band together love you forever!!!! I love Layne and hoping your in peace in your heart and soul R.I.P Layne Staley and John Baker Saunders ( bass player) 😇💝🌹Thank You for sharing this awesome video 😊💓🤘✌️
Very grateful for this contribution. I never have enough of Layne. His voice fills me with tranquility as well as the chords are so calm, though his lyrics makes you feel sadness and suffering, it's really hard to explain.
Always great to see new (to me) footage of Layne/AIC/Mad Season. Thanks very much for sharing this!
+Brad Birmingham And I thought I had everything he/they had done...all the rarities, unreleased, bootlegs, you name it. How the f did I miss this the first time I searched for "Live at the Moore" to rip it off here?
+Greg Reeder How do you "Rip" the audio off of here, and can I take this audio and put it on my own ipod? I wish I was 20yrs younger, I would probably know how to do it myself. LOL Thanks for any info. :)
+Chris J google and dL Ant Downloader for your browser, use that to grab the vid then get a free mp4 to mp3 converter and rip the tunes. There's other ways but that's a pretty simple one. Google is your friend :)
Thank you. thank you. and thank you.. who ever posted this thank you, pure angel........and whomever filmed this that day when this happened...thank you and I love you.
I never saw Layne live. I was a young fan in the early 90's, and loved AIC... Because of Layne's voice mostly... Layne always felt alone in a crowd. I miss you so much Layne. He felt dead inside long before he left us. I miss his presence on Earth. He made it a better place. Crying now. RIP Layne, Hope you found happiness that eluded you down here on this dirthole.
Yes, his voice is what gives AIC that extra point which is why I feel like they're a little underrated. Love layne's voice.
I got to luckily see them 3 times, once while Layne was in a wheelchair with a broken foot, still kicked ass, I believe Motorhead and AIC opened for Ozzy.
Digital Psych0SID I was at this show, though young. SO GLAD I was able to go! One of my best memories of being a teen!
layne was happy go lucky, fun-loving, and enjoyed his time on earth. had plenty of friends.
You can see how sick he was already... Wish he would have accepted the help offered to him. RIP
He tried, he had already paid for and attended "the best" rehab facilities in the country 13 times. I guess some people are past the point of an N/A meeting working for them. It's sad, but I think Layne just kind of accepted the fact that he was going to let his addiction win, but I do give him props for trying. He really did try, he backed out of huge multi-million dollar gigs (like touring with Metallica in 1994) to go to rehab again. As the years went by, Layne became more and more reclusive, then his health and appearance started deteriorating (which made his stray away from the public & media even more b/c they had bashed him and talked negatively about him so much in the past), and before you know it, all the positive influences slowly start to fade away & there you are...alone with your addiction...so I can see how his addiction progressed. I know he knew he was dying, he even said "Slow suicide's no way to go" in the "Wake Up" lyrics in 1995, and I believe he just accepted it & thought it was his fate----I just hate thinking about how afraid & helpless and alone he may have felt in his last days, when in reality he had millions of fans who would've given anything to be by his side, or even just speak to him for 5 minutes. His lyrics & music saved so many people's lives---I just wish he would've known that he was so much more than just a musician/artist...he spoke directly to people's soul...he was a HERO. I wish more than anything he was still here, but I am grateful for the beautiful music and legacy that he left behind. But he did try to get help...13 times. RIP Layne **WE LOVE YOU**
Well said.
@@jimstogey4986 No, he wasn't. He was FAR from clean here. Mike Mccready even said that they all tried to get him to stay clean, but he was using heavily again by this show.
Where's your concert?..OH well ONE!
@@mandyjuelz what he needed was to feel loved, everyone always wanted something in return, very sensitive caring guy. I think if felt like someone truly cared ,would have felt better in his head
Love the Sax and bongos. Definitely not instrumentation you see within a rock band.
Mad Season could've definitely taken it far. Then again, so could Mother Love Bone and ToTD. All 3 supergroups, however, left us with 1 album each and for that I'm grateful.
Any time I get to see, hear or watch Layne in any capacity makes me happy.
Miss you brother!!
Thank you Layne for all the beautiful art you created and helping me feel that I'm not alone in my struggles
I hope you are at peace Sweet soul 💙💚💛🧡
I think his pride got in his way from being addicted, then Demri, who he adored and lost from her addiction, that's what got the best of him!! He will Never be forgotten, his voice was amazing and those lyrics, gave me chills every time I listen to him!! RIP Layne I hope your looking down and see how much we love you!! Truly missed!!💔🙏⚘✌
Thank you for this, whomever you are.
The music and lyrics hit deep at home with me I'm sad that he didn't beat the addiction that took his life I have been clean from heroin for almost ten years and wouldn't never go back to it I'm thankful for what I have accomplished with awesome family and my daughter has made me see that I'm loved and needed,if you think that it's bigger than you it's not the demon has you fooled because you are stronger than it can ever be and don't let nothing convince you otherwise because you are loved and needed by people that love you and the demon blinds you of the sight of that you are better and bigger than the addiction. I respect everyone that has battled with addiction and won and recovered and for those that can't be with us today from addiction you are greatly loved and missed and you will never be forgotten
Love Lane Staley rest in peace
Thank you for sharing this. It's always a great honor and pleasure to watch this incredible artists and their performance. 27 years later I still listen to Above and it's still the most important record for me.
Even while in the throngs of addiction, he had so much passion in his voice. Amazing and eerie.
Dixie T OH MY GOD! You are so ignorant. He was clean during this time. Do your research! Mad season was a band created by Mike mccready when he met baker in a rehab facility in MN. Mike jammed with bakers a few times and tgen came up with idea to be in a new band with members who were all clean. Barret on drums. Baker on bass and mike on guitar. They then needed a singer and Mike knew tgat layne was struggling with addiction trying to get clean so he invited him to jam with them as a alternative to try and help Layne get clean. He WAS CLEAN DURING MAD SEASON. DO YOUR RESEARCH. IGNORANCE OMG
I misread your statement as "thongs of addiction", which would be a good band name.
Jim Stogey he wasnt clean are you blind? Fucking fuckface
Jim Stogey maybe cool down just a little bit and continue your research... www.popmatters.com/169666-i-dont-wanna-be-a-soldier-an-interview-with-mike-mccready-2495769346.html
""Layne was not healthy," Eliason has been quoted as saying. "Heavy, heavy drug use ... the problem was getting him there. We were in cahoots with his roommate, who'd help get Layne off the couch and point him in our direction.
"Layne would show up and he'd go back to the bathroom and be doing dope back there and you'd wait for hours before he was ready to come back out. He was pretty open about it. I asked him, 'Why? Why are you doing this to yourself?' He said, 'I'm either going to drink or I'm going to do dope, and drinking is harder on me.'"
@@jimstogey4986 One look at Layne tells you that he is not clean at all
Thank you for uploading this priceless treasure!! I love it!! We miss you Layne Thomas Staley
ted far....
At the end when they were talking off camera was as real as it gets. I have been clean for 8 years after 5 rehabs. It’s a shame that Layne didn’t get the help he needed, but we have the music as they say.
Great group of talented people. Thank you for sharing.
Love that guys drum set up. Has an enchanting sound.
Awesome!! My favorite part is when Layne starts up "I don't know anything" RIP buddy!!
I was at the show in 95 at the Moore. 14 yrs old but remember it like yesterday, so awesome!!
P.s. my son's middle name is Layne lol
RUclips needs to get off their ass and let all the coverage live be brought back live!!!!!!!! but thanks so much thanks for this
Thank goodness someone recorded this!! Layne was amazing & truly missed by so many of us! It was like he was signing just for you to you!! Mike ass kicking guitar player!! #MadSeason forever
By far one of the best bands of the 90's
Saw this tour. Saw Alice last summer. Time hurts but they were awesome. RIP Lane
Hazy Sativa layne* jesus dude wtf?
This is so beautiful thanks for sharing.
That one dude was in the screaming trees. It's cool how all these Seattle bands played together.
indeed
What screaming tree?
+Vikingo Vk exactly
Mark Lanegan
The drummer was also in Screaming Trees
Must have been very uncomfortable to play the guitar wearing gloves, but beautiful Layne plays the guitar so well. So much incredible talent the guy has!
This is awesome!! Thank you guys!! Layne❤️
Thank You So Much For Sharing This! Absolutely Awesome
Wow this should have been included in the Mad Season Above Deluxe package. Thank you for sharing.
I agree! The vocals are spectacular here in this rehearsal!
I feel so lucky to grow up listening to these guys & all the music of the 90s!!! Watched the 91 AMA on YT the other day & noticed a comment saying how versatile everything was, black & white artists & music intertwining with one another seem to blow the minds of younger kids today!!! Makes me so sad, kids today are surprised when people sound good live, sing songs with meaning & actually play real instruments!!! There's a very real reason why Layne, Kurt, Chris & many others are missed so much.... They take a piece of our youth, innocence & future could of beens when they go!!!! I wonder how different the world would be if they were here today🤔 RIP LAYNE💔 u truly are missed more than u will ever know 😢
No words to say! I´m almost crying...
I love seeing Layne playing guitar!
This is the best ever!
The voice of an Angel! God Layne if you only knew how much you've helped me through hard times, whether it was with AIC or Mad Season you touched my soul unlike any other vocalist! Thank you for all of the amazing music you made... I hope you are resting easy brother... and just know that its not only me you've helped but countless other. See you on the other side when its my time!
Looong goone dayy! So fresh song, every single time I listnen to
Love❤! Thanks for this .
Sweet Layne, i love to see you playing guitar. i wish we could've met but i was born in 1994 so i was just a baby from Spain... at least i have your music to help me go through life. i miss you. X
I was a baby when layne died but now that I’m a grown man I gotta tell ya I miss this guy and wish I could’ve experienced his awesomeness first hand
Thank you very much, person.
best supergroup of the 90s by far
What a gem. Thanks for getting this out there. I love duo with Lanegan - haunting...these lyrics are taped over my monitor with mic ready at all times to sing along ... oh babe, come on down.
This is effing amazing, Thanks for this.
This is some dope footage . Damn I love to see Layne hanging on that mic stand
Super band I discover it this year, im 36! cant believe I was missing this!!
jazmin gonzalez •••Super glad you discovered them! I’m 36 as well, their only album ‘Above’ is my all time favorite album.
Me too 36 here and love everything proyect from layne
there is just something about a middle aged man playing a stand up bass that just does it for me. RIP you beautiful man!
Heroin is your best friend and your worst enemy all wrapped up in one.
heroin is no ones best friend. it will indiscriminately kill anyone if given the chance.
Acolis it makes you feel as if it’s been your best friend
this is awesome to see
una bestia ese layne staley un verdadero dios entre los vocalistas del rock, que manera de resolver las notas, tiene una voz de rock and roll absolutamente natural
I really enjoy watching the creative process as it's refining. Great talent, elements you wouldn't think would work but do. Thanks for the upload AIC Fans. :>)
Layne gave his all even in rehearsals... He's incredible in every way. I LOVE Mark Lanegan too
lane and mark duet. there's no possible way you can slice this wrong.
Layne can always take something so bad, and make it sound so good
Ken Miller .....it didn't sound bad before he was singing you dipshit
Yeah, it wasn't awesome until he started singing this band with out Laney would have been is meh at best.
...but the same could be said for AIC
dale parsons so pearl jam sucked basically is what you're saying
dale parsons post layne AiC is good stuff
thanks for video
Layne Staley and Mark Lanegan on the same stage fucking grooving! God, You got 2 Great Ones with ya! Thanks for loaning them to us🤘🤘
No one even sounds like him, it's always the great singers who leave early, just look at his hands r. I. P staley
I have the Mad Season record! Tower Records was going out of business in 1996…It was clearanced for like $6 or so. I still have the receipt too…Somewhere….
I ❤️ and really miss Layne Staley. Always will have a place in my heart….
Did anyone realize how tuned into all music they really were???? The sax rocks ass!!!!
I have the "live," commercial release on VHS. When I got it the Mad Season LP had been out for a couple of months. I must have watched that concert 10-12 times the first day. It's that good. I watch this now and look at the men so full of life and promise. At least 2 of them have since died from their addictions.
This is all I want to watch forever.
Sick Upload Baaammm
wow
RIP Layne
So much talent in one band! This is great music....put it out now in 2019,it would still hold up as some if the best little known bands ever!
The best album ever made , Above is everything to me ..
"I don't know anything" Holy Shit!
fantastic!!
25 years later💥
Beautiful people here.
I wish we had better quality of this!
Thx for share! 🙏
Diggin it! Thanks for this! ~ junior
