TheMisfitsramones yeah its pretty much impossible to miss the huge differnce between facelift layne and dirt layne, in this he looks like a big healthy guy, but hes practically anorexic in videos of dirt songs
That last “Man in the Box” chorus...Layne is channeling the power of the friggin Sun! These two recordings are absolutely perfect vocals and music. So amazing.
Hbomb powerful. I mean, I love Chris Cornell, god bless his soul, but to me, this video is proof that Layne Staley was the most perfect voice ever, in all respects, i cluding power but also tone, timbre, style, everything. If there ever was lyrics to Mozart's pieces (other than the operas like "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen!", of course), he (Staley) would be the man for it. Motherfucker was like a demigod.

garrison0532082 Ur funny. What's so difficult to understand? It actually depends on the standard. If it's a competition, what are the standards? You could probably Google vocalist of the year in his active years and see what rock magazines said at the time. But to cite one of many examples, SEBASTIAN BACH, was by far a way more powerful vocalist. Judging by range and power and how long he could carry a note. It's not even a question. Hence why I said, for HIS style Layne was great, but if you include all vocalists, no way the best.
RIP MIKE & LAYNE. Strength, Courage, Loved Ones, and Badass Grit to ALL who are addicted. H stopped my breathing, twice woke up in ER, Prison, rehab over 7 times, and not until I finally had enough, I quit cold turkey in a small South Texas town May 25, 2017. Strength, Courage and Grit to all addicts, choose to live!
Jackie thx for the news flash. He never said it was, simply commenting on Layne's voice. Sheesh u people who live to jump down someone's throat and correct them all the damn time. Now, begone. Trying to enjoy greatness
The boys, in their prime. Layne looks so strong, like its effortless to just belt it out... later on he struggled to hit that level but still did it way longer than humanly possible
LOVE Layne's headbanging! Before he needed a mic stand just to hold himself up. 😢 And can we just appreciate Mike’s playing and headbanging too? Just to keep 25 pounds of hair flinging and still be able to play takes real talent!
I love Sean's kick drum in this. You can hear it so well...as a drummer it is very satisfying cause my kick drum sounds like shit. Lmao. Also would just like to add, how these guys are still not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame is beyond belief
Dont pay any attention to that outdated elitist boomer crap. AIC is one of the greatest, most talented, original and dynamic bands in Americas history.
This entire band was untouchable. This is a perfect moment in time that can never be duplicated. There has never been a singer or will ever be one that comes close to Layne. We were just fortunate enuff to grow up at this time to see it. The kids today don’t have a music pool to pull from like we did. Everything they see is computer generated crap or a copy of a copy of the real thing. It’s actually really sad.
Love the singing and bass in this song. I can't leave these videos alone. I miss Mike and Layne so bad. They were all so perfect together. I cry over Mike and Layne almost every day. Such talent they had. Mike's bass kicks so much ass! I wished I could have helped Mike and Layne. Missed but they are in my heart. If I have to comment every day, I will. I know what their lives were about. RIP . You are our Angels in Heaven.
Chris Pepitone very well said. I also feel a srrange connection to Layne.....never met the guy. Just something I think anyone whos ever felt despair feels a connection to his lyrics. ❤ to you brother.
@@garrison0532082 It is not a flannel shirt. It is a very thin leather. He wears it on Man in the Box video clip as well. It has many different colours on it. Quite a collector's item for Grunge Movement.
there is no other. Layne's voice is explosive and met with a lot of passion in what he sings. One of my favorites is love hate love. Such a gift person that left this world to soon.
I honestly believe that this concert showed the greatest metal singer of all time....Layne Stayley. The tone and compression he achieves is incredible. The final chorus to Man in the Box is mind blowing.
i saw them in melbourne with Suicidal Tendencies in 1991. Robert Trujillo was with Tendencies then and of course Layne was still alive. It was one of the better concerts Ive been to. Tendencies for about 45mins then at least 90 mins of Chains. They were in top form, although Sean was a bit pissed off with something as he trashed his drumkit at then end of the show. What got me the most was Laynes singing and Jerrys guitar tone. These guys were the real deal, all the other bands were shit in comparison, just riding on their coat tails.
I've been watching this video almost everyday since like a year. It's so fuckin perfect. Layne was epic... Knowing he died when I was just 4 years old pisses me off so badly!
Agustín González Their music lives on forever in our hearts.the radio and our music collection. Layne would be happy a four year old baby grew up to hear his voice and message.
Their first two albums and the sap ep were absolutely killer. I love the stuff after too but those recordings with the original 4 were phenomenal. And performances like this.
Badass, just F.ing Badass. Their sound, their look,and their tight live performance. they are early on here,1990, end of 1st album Facelift tour, yet they have the presence of journeymen musicians, and expert entertainers. Layne Staley especially looks healthy and sounds awesome. I would've killed to catch one of these shows. Thank God they recorded a few...
That voice!!! It's the voice of my youth. I wish I could look back on Layne and my youth in happiness. I wasted my youth. I wasted my youth just as Layne wasted his life. And I'm not being mean. I, somehow, turned my life around. Layne never could. And it's so fucking sad. I would love to be able to say we both made it out of our pit of drug addiction. Wish I could feel like I'm sharing my future with his. I hear his voice and I'm transported back in time. But sadly to a time he never escaped from. It's so bittersweet. I only know the man from his music but I wish he could know how much he helped me exercise my demons through his voice. His demons helped purge mine. And I hope that somehow he can know this. Thank you Layne.

Who's watching this in 2024?
And I'm 69yr old!!❤
Me of course
2024 🔥
😊I just tuned in. Laynes voice is so powerful here!
🙋♀️🙋♀️❤❤
It Ain’t Like this anymore.
dr. K ain’t that the truth
You're not wrong.
Truth
Sadly 😔🤘
Not even close
Only Layne could wear sunglasses in a night show and still be awesome.
Oh my god I cant stop laughing. That i the funniest thing I have ever heard. Its true. Those sunglasses!! Gotta love Layne
It's the heroin, but yeah. Still a legend
True that
no
Such a 90s look.
Is nobody going to mention Sean Kinney's drumming? He was and is a groove monster and the driving force behind their music.
Chris Mason
most underrated member of the band
Hell of an underrated drummer period. Best of his era
love his drum fill at the begin of the verse
Top 5 drummer of all time easy very underated
Agreed 100%
Fun fact: This wasn't even filmed in black and white, that's just how metal it actually looked that night.
Had so much fun it sucked the saturation out of all the cameras.
Damn it fun! Always- always sucking the saturation out of the cameras!
From what I saw she only do soft cock..blahh
Stop frontn mf
Fun fat saggy ass tits were gross n school , only imagine what tht bs look like today.. ol Sags
This has me feeling mighty saturated x
this era of Jerrys headbanging was arguably the best in rock history. to be able to play guitar while doing that proves how badass JC is.
Exactly
The Rooster’s son himself, JFC 😎🤘🏻
I am in love with Jerry ❤
@@karlasnow-wright9853 Me too. 😂
Dude it’s that super long hair. Guy has the most stylistic epic head bang in history.
layne at his absolute peak of epic ness
TheMisfitsramones yeah its pretty much impossible to miss the huge differnce between facelift layne and dirt layne, in this he looks like a big healthy guy, but hes practically anorexic in videos of dirt songs
TheMisfitsramones To me, Layne was monumental in all his forms.
Higher than mothercuking everest, by miles, is his peak of greatness.
his front man skills was off the chain in this era
Can’t disagree
Notice how Laynes and Jerry's voices tend to make a perfect duet? That's what I absolutely love about them.
Me too - it was powerful and haunting at the same time...
I'm so lucky to have an electric guitar very similar with Jerry's
I feel like DuValls voice is too similar to Jerry's. You can't have 2 backup singers in a band.
Isabelle Doyle jerry would done just fine being the lead singer . Duval sucks he's looks like a fan boy .
Ooh, them together has such a unique, eerie quality that will never be duplicated. Completely one of a kind sound. Beautifully haunting.
Starr had the most gorgeous hair of them all ❤ Jerry was beautiful, Sean was so manly, and Layne had a voice to be reckon
I agree 💯
Jerry is still handsome to me
Layne fuckin rocked the messy long hair, goatee, and sunglasses better than anybody else
Ikr!
Absolute fucking rockstar 🤘!!
This might be the best AIC concert ever
One of the Greatest Bands of all time. Hands down one of the all time best vocalist to ever live on this planet 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
💯
Facts.
That last “Man in the Box” chorus...Layne is channeling the power of the friggin Sun! These two recordings are absolutely perfect vocals and music. So amazing.
And the moon
And the planets!
THAT VOICE!!!!!!!RIP LAYNE🎤💔😢
30 years later and we're still listening to these incredible musicians.
Because there has been hardly any good shit since! Watching this stuff back just shows how brilliant they were.
Laynes voice was so powerful man
Hbomb powerful. I mean, I love Chris Cornell, god bless his soul, but to me, this video is proof that Layne Staley was the most perfect voice ever, in all respects, i cluding power but also tone, timbre, style, everything.

Maximilian Dummnichtswürdigkerl that's a little over the top. He was really good at HIS style. But there are better vocalists.
Richard Noggin it's all relative bro. For instance, who and why are they better....time is money so don't make me wait forever

garrison0532082 and p.s. you've got nothing but time on your hands. You can wait.
Layne's voice is very on point in this performance. He sounds like the album.
RIP Mike and Layne... You Are Truly Missed.
YES, they are...
RIP MIKE & LAYNE.
Strength, Courage, Loved Ones, and Badass Grit to ALL who are addicted. H stopped my breathing, twice woke up in ER, Prison, rehab over 7 times, and not until I finally had enough, I quit cold turkey in a small South Texas town May 25, 2017.

Yes they are
Miss that thunderous bass of Mike star! I hope there’s the best music concert ever going on in heaven! RIP all our rock Gods!
My God his voice is making my hair stand up on the back of my neck!!!!! EPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Paul Ripken I can listen to this video 10 times over and still get goosebumps every stinking time I watch it!
Paul Ripken , it does that to me as well !
Staley/Cantrell is the best voice duo
Layne at his absolute peak ❤
way better than studio version
Killer in 2024
Layne really shows his chops here
The emotion Layne spills out...Unmatched
I love how Layne headbangs sideways like that!!! RIP Grunge Legend 🤘🏽
His voice is explosive! there is no other. Who can do love hate love like that.
Jackie Christensen love hate love isnt this video
Jackie thx for the news flash. He never said it was, simply commenting on Layne's voice. Sheesh u people who live to jump down someone's throat and correct them all the damn time. Now, begone. Trying to enjoy greatness
@@dgilbertson10 hhaa
Damn these guys were flawless
Well maybe one flaw.... 😢
I would do anything to have seen this concert.
whythewar1 right!
ME TOO!! Graduated HS in 88...will always regret not going out to Seattle then
OMG ME TOOOOOOOOOO
If only wishes could come true!
Oh my Rock God!!!!! From 9:05 to 9:37 nobody has ever done it better. Mesmerizing to watch it...Layne at his peak.
It Ain’t Like That has one of the best riffs ever made! What a great song! 🤘🏼🙌🏼
Sad that this generation will never really know how amazing the grunge movement was....so much amazing talent!!
❤ si de lo mejor...no nos podemos olvidar de esos años, sigo caminando con ellos 😢
Not this grandma! It’s mandatory! No rap crap or Taylor swift allowed they rock out period!😊
Mike headbanging into the camera at the beginning of man in the box is gold
his voice is so fuckin' clean and strong at the same time, that's incredibly insane
God they were all so fucking gorgeous back in the day...
his voice...R.I.P Layne and Mike ♥
Every time I watch this, Layne's vocal reach really amazes me. The guy's throat sounds like a thunder, it's almost unreal.
late 80‘s and early 90‘s was one of the best times for music.
layne staley was a true Super Nova twice as bright but half as long ! #RIPLayne #RIPMike those screams will rock on forever
loonbird widener Layne Forever💜
What a great analogy
Drum and bass is what I hear MOST!!!!
That fuckin note in man in the box. ... everytime !!
The boys, in their prime. Layne looks so strong, like its effortless to just belt it out... later on he struggled to hit that level but still did it way longer than humanly possible
It just doesn’t get anymore rockstar then this! Freakin badass
I want to relive the nineties again
long live the king of grunge
The best live video AIC in my opinion ... other than unplugged
0:58 Sorry nirvana but this has to be the best grunge intro riff of all time
Mad Season - I Don't Know Anything would like a word
Yeeee!!
I agree AIC had a different sound that was true grunge
The intro riff make feel like a god.
materpiece of all rock history
one of the defining moments of the Grunge movement. Just epic.
Sir Layne Staley.
The first song is untouchable in its simplicity and groove.
LOVE Layne's headbanging! Before he needed a mic stand just to hold himself up. 😢 And can we just appreciate Mike’s playing and headbanging too? Just to keep 25 pounds of hair flinging and still be able to play takes real talent!
I could watch this performance millions of times and never get tired of it! RIP Layne & Mike!
Live at The Moore. My favorite live recording of Alice....💙
Those harmonies with Jerry give me goosebumps
Holy f%ck, I'm speechless.
Total eargasm...what a performance! Layne's voice hit me like a freaking thunderstorm.
Just epic.
EARGASAM !!!! Love it!
My favorite voices duet Layne and Jerry! what a fucking harmony! its great
this shit is just phenomenal!
I love Sean's kick drum in this. You can hear it so well...as a drummer it is very satisfying cause my kick drum sounds like shit. Lmao.
Also would just like to add, how these guys are still not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame is beyond belief
Daniel Z lol I play guitar and marvel at Jerry's tone every time I hear AIC. Then try to play it and it sounds like shit
I know right. AIC and soundgarden why aren’t they hall of famers
R&R Hall of Fame is a crock of shit. Don’t listen to who they tell you are the best, decide that yourself. AiC is top five for me.
Drum and bass is all I hear!
Dont pay any attention to that outdated elitist boomer crap. AIC is one of the greatest, most talented, original and dynamic bands in Americas history.
Alice In chains ARE METAL imo
MrTheImmortality AIC are metal..there nothing as such grunge music.. grunge is a "movement" not a genre
Alice in chains said on many occasions and many interviews that they were metal not grunge.
They are metal vibes grunge whereas nirvana are pink vibes grunge
Punk lol
Horror and metal are life metal alt
Almost 30 years ago.. like it was yesterday
This entire band was untouchable. This is a perfect moment in time that can never be duplicated. There has never been a singer or will ever be one that comes close to Layne.

*Real Thing starts playing*
I love all the grunge bands but they have risen to the top of my list.
That overhead shot is so aesthetically pleasing and is so iconically them.
I miss you Layne. U were so amazingly talented, and extremely beautiful. RIP
Too good for this world.
A true Rock God was Layne Thomas Staley
been listening to this since I had the VHS in 1995. If there was once concert I could have been at.....
Love the singing and bass in this song. I can't leave these videos alone. I miss Mike and Layne so bad. They were all so perfect together. I cry over Mike and Layne almost every day. Such talent they had. Mike's bass kicks so much ass! I wished I could have helped Mike and Layne. Missed but they are in my heart. If I have to comment every day, I will.

Niomi Elston I love that photo.
Niomi Elston true
Get a life
LAYNE once said, "Go fuck a steer."
Fuck... Layne's voice is incredible here
i could listen to it all day
Staleyman!!! The best voice for me.
Stanley 4ever
M.L. Crow yes the best #️⃣1️⃣
Can never listen to Layne too much -- voice of God.
love Laynes jacket!! he was such a great singer
Barbara Henry it's called a flannel shirt available at any Wal-Mart or Target.
@@garrison0532082 It is not a flannel shirt. It is a very thin leather. He wears it on Man in the Box video clip as well. It has many different colours on it. Quite a collector's item for Grunge Movement.
@@alihandemiral7049 Agree, it's definitely not flannel. Anyone who lived though the grunge days would know this. lol
Layne is a true legend 👌
His voice is so strong i can believe like angel screams for good in this fuckin world☝🎤🎸🎶
Perfection!
This is underrated and I like it like that
After all this time since he has been gone, I still find it hard to believe I miss someone I never met.
Long shots of the band performing... wow !! Definitely not an "MTV" Production Thank Goodness !!
This Stage Performance is like a Source of Energy. Outstanding Showmanship. RIP LEGEND s 🌹 ❤ from India. Deadly fan🇮🇳

brutusbrabo been singing all my life. Layne in his prime was an incredible vocalist
No matter how many times I feed my ears can't get enough!! Rest in peace Layne,Mike 🖤
This dude could sing!!! Sounds just like album
Some of their best live material ever. So raw and badass!
The elegance that the bandmates share during this performance is wondrous!!!!!
(I think it's because of the way it's filmed...)

Ford Driver Thats it, real deal...
I'd literally give my right arm today to go back in time and see this show. No band before or since will ever sound like AIC.
Can't imagine why Sean would be pissed. Just watching this video, today is the best day of my life.
Last sentence is facts
So jealous
Ok I've watched this at least 25 times in the past 4 days. Simply does not get any better than early Alice
thank you Mr Hidalgo for sharing this clip! \000/
I've been watching this video almost everyday since like a year. It's so fuckin perfect. Layne was epic... Knowing he died when I was just 4 years old pisses me off so badly!
Agustín González Their music lives on forever in our hearts.the radio and our music collection. Layne would be happy a four year old baby grew up to hear his voice and message.
123limelight Thanks.
123limelight Would you happen to be a Rush fan as well?
123limelight Hence the name, limelight..
123limelight Haha. Well sometimes ya never know.
Saw Rush 2112 tour. AMAZING!!!
Their first two albums and the sap ep were absolutely killer. I love the stuff after too but those recordings with the original 4 were phenomenal. And performances like this.
Jar of flies is easily up there
Jar of Flies,S/T and MTV Unplugged are absolute beasts as well
if anyone ever asks why i decided to name my first born after layne, i’m just gonna make em listen to this at 9:06.
I'd literally give my right arm today to go back in time and see this show.
If anyone asks me why I did that (iif I ever have a kid), I would probably stop talking to them because they have their priorities all wrong.
Absolutely torched the place - oh man what an era this was
Badass, just F.ing Badass. Their sound, their look,and their tight live performance. they are early on here,1990, end of 1st album Facelift tour, yet they have the presence of journeymen musicians, and expert entertainers. Layne Staley especially looks healthy and sounds awesome. I would've killed to catch one of these shows. Thank God they recorded a few...

Thank you Layne.
Alice In Chains is one band I prefer to listen to live since sound so amazing and unfortunately can’t say that about most bands
Cantrell's got a distinctive voice but Staley just nails the insane chorus in Man in the Box. I can't think of a current singer who has his style.
raboox9 there's plenty with his style but nobody that even comes close with his talent.
Legendary Layne! A sacred monster in the stage!
Kick ass!
I feel that in my chest! Always gives me goosebumps Love AIC forever 🤘
Thanx for bringing back the original beginning of this classic gig. Just can’t believe in those who cut off it aint like that.
Sir Jerry Cantrell.
