Maybe it’s just because I was young but back then there was something in the air that felt exciting and dangerous. Music like this ruled the airwaves. Going to the beach in the summer and walking into head shops seeing all the band Tshirts hanging and hearing bands like Alice In Chains blaring over the stereo is something I’ll never forget and will probably never experience again.
Layne is probably top 5 best voices in music history and definitely the best of the Grunge era. He had a pain and passion in his singing that’s rare for any time period. And his and Jerry’s harmonies are legendary.

I was at Werchter in 2017, 2 days after the festival I found out they played the Main Stage which I missed that time... will never forgive myself for that one
You know what? This whole band was amazing. It had the best vocals, best bass and drums. Also cantrell was amazing on guitar and back vocals. I cant name any other band like this one.
If he was literally one in a million that means there's 7,000+ other people like him. Not everything needs to be dubbed as literally. One in a million is a figure of speach. Literally one in a million fucks that figure of speach up. Try to not hamfist literally into everything, it isn't necessary.
I understand the filming is kind of disrespectful or whatever and it's good to live in the moment but idk sometimes you'd wanna live it again you know? Or show your friends you went to it. Idk. I understand what people mean by that but if it weren't for people taking videos like this, we would never see it again.
6:41.. man screams into the depths of the abysmal void with the power of a thousand tsunamis piercing the hearts of every soul within physical ear shot.
Definitely the most unique vocal style out of the Big 4 of grunge. He had a pretty unique voice in general even down to his talking voice, it was like in between baritone and tenor so he could hit high notes but also go very low and deep.
Saw them when they opened for clash of the titans it was epic . Back then I was too busy in the pits living in the moment instead of staring thru phone now
I saw them at Santa Fe Damn in SoCal during this Lollapalooza. My girlfriend and the time had a sister who worked for Primus management, so we got backstage passes. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I saw Tool on the second stage! Yeah, best festival ever.
Its true marssdhall would have nothing to rap about if he wasnt complaining about his mom, wife, and being criticized for saying crazy shit, which you know is whats gonna happen when you... say crazy shit
I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne!
Henry Callo In 93 I was 21...Playing Metal bars in Detroit and just starting at WSU in Detroit working on a Bachelor in Music degree. I saw Soundgarden at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit in 89... I remember standing there, being blown away thinking, man...these guys are going to be fucking huge. The 90s we're really a special decade all the way around. It's going to be a longtime before something like that happens again.
MrSHowVIdeo a funny side note. At the St. Andrews show...Chris stage dove...he gets passed around and as he ends up back on stage, he grabs his mic and says, " You motherfuckers stole my necklace!!!" And then he kept right on singing...didn't miss a beat. Lol. Man...miss him terribly.
Jerry and Layne are like two halves of a delicious fruit. Eating one half gives you hunger. Only the whole creates something amazing. Jerry's voice brought even more depth to Layne's voice. I don't think I've ever heard anything as coherent as their singing. It's a shame this story ended so sadly.
I love how Layne, in every song has control over the rage and range of his voice. One can feel the power and depth of his soul and then all of a sudden, he becomes quiet as if he looks for reaction. Masterful singer. I didn't even realize how big his feet were. Damn
Layne had the best voice of the 90's. That's saying alot because I love Kurt, Eddie and Maynard too. Layne had such power and control and was truly original. He had the Seattle "yowl" before Eddie was ever even there. I'm a alternative/punk fan - bit Alice have always scratched my hard rock/metal itch completely
Around 5:32 Jerry Cantrell seems to know a fan is rushing the stage right at him but doesn't flinch one bit knowing security has the dude and keeps on playing. Just a great performance to watch 🤘
I was grounded in 93 and couldn't go to Lollapalooza the see Rage, my favorite band at the time. But I was at 92 and that was a great line up. And 97 where I saw Korn (a fucking riot broke out) and Tool, my new favorite band at the the time... and still is.
I love how Layne screams and growls through 'Junkhead'!! lol! This performance of the song is on par with the 'Clerks' movie premiere version, though that one was a hair better. Just a hair. This is vintage Staley!
I'l never forget .... This new cassette from this band Alice in Chains called Facelift . ... Same day my freind brought over a cessette called Cowboys from Hell from this "new" band Pantera ,not so new band,but anyway ............. I fell in love with BOTH tapes. Not very often you discover 2 killer bands on the same day.
The best one is when some hecklers pissed Layne off to the point he on the fly changed the lyrics of Man In The Box to be profane and just shit on them
Best band from Seattle in the 1990s...or ever for that matter. Jerry Cantrell was superbly talented in song writing and Layne Staley has the voice of an angel.
The fact that he could be crouched down and still hit those notes. Just a natural talent. One of my favorite vocalists of all time. You’re missed Layne 🖤
Shit man, I was at that gig too. Remember when they stopped the show during Primus coz of fires in the pit? RATM opened, Tool on the small stage, Fishbone were INCREDIBLE too. Peace maing!!! ✊
Just the absolute top of his game. Unbelievable vocals from Layne here... I forget who spoke of it, but I often recall someone stating that he could hear Layne's voice over the music and monitors at some points. The sound from his throat was so strong that he could overtake what came from his monitor!
Barrett Martin drummer for screaming g trees n Mad Season said he could hear his voice from his chest louder than out of monitors. Insane! Mark Lanegan said Layne would stay up for days and go out and unleash the most powerful vocals he has ever heard, on par with Mercury n plant in his opinion and he has seen them all live. He was awesome!
I can never remember who said this, either. I don't know if I've read the comments in this thread before, or if I've seen the same quote you saw haha. I'm pretty high right now, so that's not helping anything, but I swear I've heard that Layne's voice could be heard over the monitors or from the side of the stage before. I kinda felt like maybe it was Tom Morello who said it, but the next comment said Barrett Martin. Guess he would know between the Screaming Trees being out with AiC, and Mad Season.
AIC is not the biggest band of the era, but they are the best. If Layne wouldn’t have lost himself, they could’ve been the greatest ever. I put a lot of blame on the media for how they portrayed layne and AIC. Layne Staley is one of the greatest rock vocalists ever, his range and control are unbelievable and nobody can make you feel the emotion of the song like he could. Freddie Mercury had the greatest voice and was the best performer. Chris Cornell had the most powerful voice in rock. All of them legends, all of them lost far too soon, all of them loved and missed dearly. May the Legends RIP...
When I was a teenager at this time this was my teenage selfs favorite band. My ex-girlfriend liked oasis. Chains is still better and she can still go f*ck her self ha ha ha
AMAZING!! I’ll never forget it was 1990... my older sister had a cassette from the band I never heard of called “Temple of the Dog“. I was 13 years old and I had no idea what to think other than it sounded like nothing else I’d heard before and from there I went to either Sam Goody or Tower Records I’m not exactly sure and I bought the Facelift album... and from that point my life literally changed! Once I heard Laynes voice I felt emotions I’ve never felt...and 28 years later his voice still evokes all kinds of emotions... believe it or not those songs got me through some tough times and continue to do so! I was hooked... And still am! The Temple of the dog cassette opened up a whole new world of music for me and I hate to think what my life would be like without Alice In Chains,Soundgarden, Mad Season, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees... Nirvana... RIP Layne you are missed brother!
Nooo, please tell me you're kidding. Lollapalooza doesn't have those types of "artists" do they? I grew up in the early 90's and remember when Lollapalooza was the tour event everyone was talking about cause all of the great BANDS from that time were playing it. Nirvana was supposed to headline for crying out loud and now it's Cardi fucking B? I mean if that's the type of music people like, then that's great but Lollapalooza is supposed to be a rock and roll tour. It's always been synonymous with bands, especially this era. Anyway, obviously I'm not following what's hot musically now days as processed music is about as good to me as a McDonalds processed meat. Sad day for me.
When I was 12 I had enough money to buy my first album with my own money. I went to the mall and bought jar of flies. The next day I was walking my dog and listening to it on my WALKMAN lol. I heard nutshell for the first time and it literally changed my life forever.
I would have loved to have been there right in the front of Layne Staley to make sure I heard every bit of his magical voice. Incredible singer...the best ever..ever.
I'm so jealous of those who got to see AIC live during their prime. I was a kid in the 90's and wasn't allowed to go to rock concerts. Wish I could go back in time as an adult to see Layne in person.
I was lucky enough to see Alice in Chains open up for Van Halen and they immediately became my favorite band ever since well Layne Staley my favorite singer of all time just the amazing I just still gives me chills got me through so much good times love love him so much wish I could have seen Mad Season that would have been freaking amazing😮❤❤

Well put. I was there. 🤙
@@ryant3922 I was there too and had a blast! Unfortunately most of my friends are all dead. But I’d do it all again!

take me back to the 90's and leave me there!
Fuck yea i hear you i was 3 years old in '93 but i remember all the music and movies.
I could just go re-live the 90s all over and over again and just experience different things each time through. What a time.
Me too I would like to be left there
bongeggs I would go back to live through the 70’s -2000’s. Everything was fine til 2016 that’s when music fell apart.
For sure
I love the sound reflecting off the back area, makes it feel like I'm really there.
Cool seeing you here! Love the videos btw
Yeah it sounds great.
@@fadtat1119 Cool seeing you here tryhard

Did you know that I can absolutely rip the Smells Like Teen Spirit riff because of you?
The art of guitar >>>>>>>
This is grungier than the bottom of your shower curtain.
Lolol good one
Layne had pipes
No kidding
@@brianlast9832 And needles.

Layne and Jerry singing together is heavenly
I saw Alice in Chains recently and while nobody will ever replace Layne, it was beautiful to see Jerry still playing as good as ever.
yeah thank God for Jerry. I played his solo record" Degradation Trip
" the other day, pretty close to a masterpiece.
I was at Werchter in 2017, 2 days after the festival I found out they played the Main Stage which I missed that time... will never forgive myself for that one
AIC with Layne and without Layne are 2 different bands, but both are good
Never replace Mike Start either.
@Walter B please shut up and get over Layne.
Layne doesn't even have to do anything onstage to be a great front man, he just hangs there and belts out the lyrics!
Yeah you're right, even though he was all over the place in the early years
Gravitas and Godlike vocals that's all Layne needed.
No frills or antics, just killer vocals. The way a live performance should be.
Tired from crack taxing his ass
You know what? This whole band was amazing. It had the best vocals, best bass and drums. Also cantrell was amazing on guitar and back vocals. I cant name any other band like this one.
He still is amazing😅
Bass and drums UREAL
I've seen them 7 times...with and without Layne.
Sean Kinney is such an underrated drummer with impeccable taste.All these little flurries and embellishments.The signs of a really great drummer.
100% agree
Everything that ever happened is underrated
My favorite ♊️
I've alway said Sean Kinney is very underrated. He beats the hell out of the skins.
how is he underrated? best since the early 90s
Damn his voice is ON POINT! He never knew how big he would become...seriously one of the greats!
Layne was literally one in a million. I havent heard vocals like that since AIC

No smartphones, nobody filming or texting. Everybody enjoying the pure energy of the moment.
That was great!
Today is another story.

Yes...in other words 😂
Oh you mean when people were still alive
Clearly people were filming if this clip exists.
Old Gregg
Obviously, but not "people", one person filmed and did a great job!
I understand the filming is kind of disrespectful or whatever and it's good to live in the moment but idk sometimes you'd wanna live it again you know? Or show your friends you went to it. Idk. I understand what people mean by that but if it weren't for people taking videos like this, we would never see it again.
Sean hits so hard. I love it. Such an underrated drummer.
dirtintodust he's absolutely fantastic. So much better than the current drummer of Guns n roses 💀
Drummers know Sean Kinney is an awesome drummer.
Welcome to the People Who Think Sean Kinney Is Such An Underrated Drummer Club
@@thomaslabat8335 Man, exactly.
Way underrated!! Add Dan Peters to the underrated list... still, Sean is my favorite drummer of that era.
The way he sang junkhead was hypnotic and Jerrys backup what priceless
6:41..
man screams into the depths of the abysmal void with the power of a thousand tsunamis piercing the hearts of every soul within physical ear shot.
Most excellent footage. No one can sing like Layne.
@Jeff Z you must also think imitation crab is as good as the real thing. And you were probably born in the 90s
Have fun will that imitation singer
Cornell is a very close second. Very close.
Maynard can!
Definitely the most unique vocal style out of the Big 4 of grunge. He had a pretty unique voice in general even down to his talking voice, it was like in between baritone and tenor so he could hit high notes but also go very low and deep.
Jay P Cornell’s classic hard rock belting wasn’t exactly unique though, Axl rose was already doing it. Layne’s vocal style was specific to him, imo.
That was such a great time to be alive.
rick neal
Fuck yes it was!!!
The best!
Hell yeah it was! I was 17 here and right up there for this one. We had some great concert experiences without people staring at their cell phones.
Saw them when they opened for clash of the titans it was epic . Back then I was too busy in the pits living in the moment instead of staring thru phone now
Yes it was.... I graduated in 94.......The nineties were so awesome...All the rockfest in Kansas City were kickass drunken fun..
I saw them at Santa Fe Damn in SoCal during this Lollapalooza. My girlfriend and the time had a sister who worked for Primus management, so we got backstage passes. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I saw Tool on the second stage! Yeah, best festival ever.
I was at that concert as well.Saw them later in the tour at shoreline amphitheatre.Great memories.

That's Jerry's work
Daniel Thompson actually jerry has said he was always impressed with the harmonies Layne came up with
@@danthompson5797Nope that had nothing to do with Jerry. That was Layne. Layne was the harmony idea guy in the band. That's straight from Jerry.

Makes me sad too. In tears now actually. Damn.
The last great era of rock and roll.
Sadly...
No one could send straight, raw power through the mic quite like Layne. He was a fucking beast in ‘93
that crowd knows how to behave on a rock concert, well done
That’s most depressing part of watching these old clips. Now it’s everyone holding a fucking iPhone up. Sickening.
Yep nothing like trying to enjoy your favorite band but having to worry about a human dropping on your head instead.
Man, the harmonies Layne and Jerry change up for live shows are killer. Especially on Junkhead, amazing.
Chorus gets me every time
That's how it was suppose to be . The lable wanted layne to sing it higher.
The power of Layne

Feels like this concert was played yesterday. If only..
honestly the quality gives that vibe a lot. So weird.
Really weird
So sad he is not with us anymore
Layne was looking good maybe even feeling good . I hope .
Richard D he started looking pale and thin during this year. Had been using a good 3-4 years by this point. So damn sad
@@Paarthurnaxdova wasn't he sober for a part of 1993?
Frederick Caballero He was scared into sobriety in 1994 when Kurt Cobain died actually
@@fredyyycc yeah he was sober for parts of 93.
Today is Layne's Birthday!
He would do 52 years old!
Forever missed, I'll always love you!
Cheers from Brazil!
Ode to the good old days. Like it was yesterday. Miss you Layne.
AMAZING!! I’ll never forget it was 1990... my older sister had a cassette from the band I never heard of called “Temple of the Dog“. I was 13 years old and I had no idea what to think other than it sounded like nothing else I’d heard before and from there I went to either Sam Goody or Tower Records I’m not exactly sure and I bought the Facelift album... and from that point my life literally changed! Once I heard Laynes voice I felt emotions I’ve never felt...and 28 years later his voice still evokes all kinds of emotions... believe it or not those songs got me through some tough times and continue to do so! I was hooked... And still am! The Temple of the dog cassette opened up a whole new world of music for me and I hate to think what my life would be like without Alice In Chains,Soundgarden, Mad Season, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees... Nirvana...
RIP Layne you are missed brother!
Our world needs singers like Layne... rest in peace,wherever you are...
That was the best day of my life. Front row.
Lucky you!!! I wish I had seen him live at least once 😓
When Lollapalooza was good and not bogged down by ariana grande and cardi b
BrettC11B shits gonna change soon, tired of these pop and “hip hop” artists
Can we just get a fucking revival of Hard Rock that doesn’t sound weak and expresses actual emotion and shows creativity?
bang on Brett, those whiny bitch hoes dont have a clue. they should be banned from the airways forever.
BrettC11B, I can’t thumbs up this comment enough times!
You hit the f-ing nail dead on!
Nooo, please tell me you're kidding. Lollapalooza doesn't have those types of "artists" do they? I grew up in the early 90's and remember when Lollapalooza was the tour event everyone was talking about cause all of the great BANDS from that time were playing it. Nirvana was supposed to headline for crying out loud and now it's Cardi fucking B? I mean if that's the type of music people like, then that's great but Lollapalooza is supposed to be a rock and roll tour. It's always been synonymous with bands, especially this era. Anyway, obviously I'm not following what's hot musically now days as processed music is about as good to me as a McDonalds processed meat. Sad day for me.
Loved how Jerry improvised the solo in junkhead
Just Wow. Wish I had seen them live along with so many other bands that were just amazing back in the 90s. Best time to be alive for sure.
When I was 12 I had enough money to buy my first album with my own money. I went to the mall and bought jar of flies. The next day I was walking my dog and listening to it on my WALKMAN lol. I heard nutshell for the first time and it literally changed my life forever.
Layne Staley forever \m/
I miss Layne's voice
kevykev38 me too
Layne forever!
I would have loved to have been there right in the front of Layne Staley to make sure I heard every bit of his magical voice. Incredible singer...the best ever..ever.
I'm so jealous of those who got to see AIC live during their prime. I was a kid in the 90's and wasn't allowed to go to rock concerts. Wish I could go back in time as an adult to see Layne in person.
Wow wish i could turn back time and go see this live!!! Sounds awesome !
You and me both....
Man this is Pure GOLD. Laney killing it on Man on the Box, great performance. Perfect Live performance. Thanks from Brazil for sharing
best man in the box performance so far
No cell phones, small stages, insane crowd... Wtf why i born in 92 e don't live this era 80-90
Jerry looks so happy! Layne sounds amazing! Thanks for this footage!!! Love it 💗
The vocal harmonies in the chorus are so fucking great. Hearing Jerry and Layne together breaks my heart
One of the most powerful and recognizable voices ever!
The two of them on vocals were the best pair of any of the bands that came out of Seattle. They sound so solid together.
Layne sounded just as good live as he did in the studio
Wow his vocals are so strong here live and he looks really healthy too. RIP Layne.
Never gets old! Holy shit. 🙌🏼💔 RIP LAYNE
I was lucky enough to see Alice in Chains open up for Van Halen and they immediately became my favorite band ever since well Layne Staley my favorite singer of all time just the amazing I just still gives me chills got me through so much good times love love him so much wish I could have seen Mad Season that would have been freaking amazing😮❤❤
Layne held me and soothed my soul as a teenager and he still does today
This is pure gold!! Thank you!
