He had such an amazing voice, especially when he was in his prime 1988-1993. He had such a ball of energy on stage unlike no other, he was an amazing front man as well as lead vocalist!

@@Natacha1111 no she was offering him money or something to not record Dirt and Rooster, the songs that were unreleased. This was over a year before Dirt was released and she probably didn’t want him selling a bootleg with those songs included.
Man this brings back so many great memories! Back when the Seattle live music scene was so goddamn good and it was all ours until MTV and"Grunge" came along and commercialized the shit out of it..1989-90 will always be frozen in my memory as a time when all was righteous and good in my world
True but if it was never commercialized, people like myself from rural America especially in South Georgia probably would have never got to enjoy music from the Pacific NW, I get it though for all those from that area and how you want to keep it local.
@@AvecPoesie He also took photos of Xana, Andrew Woods fiance. He told me Demri was his muse though. He said she was a sweetheart filled with light. He was the photographer for Seattle's muses and musicians as well. Jack adored Demri and tried his hardest to get her help but her addiction had a strong hold on her. So sad. 😔
@@kat1york I've been reading everything I could find on Layne and Demri in recent days...Xana's statements have been interesting. Addiction is so overpowering and its devastating when it takes hold of such young, vibrant people. Did Jack ever photograph you? I'm curious about his work...
me too. i can't believe i saw this with my eyes. i'm seriously in awe... can't believe it crossed my path. i'm still just blinking in magical amazement.
35:57 YIKES! He got caught bootlegging the show by Susan Silver lol but damn, must this be right when they were starting to play the still unreleased Dirt?! She was relentless yet diplomatic. Luckily the tape didn't get lost in the management's vault. Till this day there are probably hundreds of tapes of live shows from crew members or complete TV footage that got legally quarantined by record label+Susan S+ Jerry C It's so weird seeing Layne sing Dirt and Rooster still with dreads and still in the beggining of 91.. They were already full blown songs with very little changes to the final versions. This was a treat! Oh yeah and here's Demri 0:09 Funny, this is the only time I' ve ever seen Layne mentioning her by name on stage right before Queen of the Rodeo
But I am happy for jerry C. For keeping the bands name alive and it will always make people notice Layne whenever they search AIC PERIOD!!!! YA KNOW--- my props to jerry c for not letting his dream & the band die with Layne..... Layne is an icon is music history now, and will always continue to amaze and meszmerize. And AIC still doing great charity events and all kind of positive give back. Love his ambition. Staley is forever AIC. And the AIC is Layne also ....... It will always bring Staley back to the forefront ........
Effortless.. I really miss those simple days when the underground scene in Portland and Seattle were so raw , simple and powerful. I appreciated it even then and knew it was special. Now I’m old and think back about of those times and what the hell has happened to Portland and Seattle.......
i literally still go to this venue and see new local bands there open for national acts all the time. its still a legendary venue, its called el corazon now.
Do miss the raw and "happy" effortless enjoyment in the music .... And that's what its about. You can feel the genuine talent, not just hear it!!!! Beautiful.... Goodluck on the future AIC..... Its healthy to grow..... Helps healing.... RIP Layne........
Gosh this show is amazing. We get Confusion and Sunshine along with Dirt and Rooster for the first time. Pity Dirt was cut out, but hey, still cool. Thanks for the upload!

Damn Susan Silver at 35:50 straight up said “This is totally illegal. My name is Susan Silver and I wanna make a deal with you on this tape because you can’t have this tape” 😮
Only certain bands you still do. I’ve been to a shitload of concerts and have seen 30+ different bands. I know, not much, but Phish crowds are still this sick. And Pearl Jam.. but too many people holding phones. Still, I agree. I’m so fucking jealous of the crowds/scene back then before social media and phones. That’s where I belonged lol
27:00 ish "I owe you $20 for that, don't let me forget!" Layne, love that guy! El (Larry) Steiner, a circa 1991set piece. 28:25 Prophetic. Miss you (two) dudes! TY 4 the show, Dread!
@@TheStepmonkey A shirtless Larry Steiner is seen to left of Mike's amp stack at 32:58. El Steiner was the name of Larry's "band" but he was always more of a visual spectacle. He was Seattle's poster Go-Go guy, often claiming a space on stage with many a Seattle music crew. Not as a member, but as a raging, flailing, dancing set piece, part of the show. Often accompanied by dreadlocked lady stoners. commons dot wikimedia dot org/wiki/File:El_Steiner dot jpg
probably already commented, but i keep on coming back to this video. sure, the video is rough as hell, but it definitely captures the vibe. i'm sure i'll be back.
I love when Layne had dreads. Damn you guys are a real good bunch of people. Such a different way of life I don't think I could jump in and be so happy. I had quite a different upbringing I wish it was possible to get reprogrammed to fit in with you people. Damnit I knew this would happen 😢
This same footage was uploaded almost 1 year ago by PJVideoGuy (YT account) this is identical footage too. That means where this was filmed in the venue - so I can tell it’s identical.
That is correct PJVideoguy did upload this video. This is not a Venue made Video. This is actually my video. I am the camera man. I made three copy’s for friends and it made its way to pjvideoguy. That’s why I am releasing the rest of my old VHS footage.
@@NehiStripesSeattle No. PJvideoguy came across and old copy that I had give to someone and it just ended up in his hands by no fault. I was made aware of it and it surprised me. So I am transferring all of my old VHS to digital and posting them. Good looking out. Thanks
Susan Silver - this is totally illegal and I want to make a deal with you because of this tape (as they start to play unreleased Dirt).. so what kind of deal was made with her? lol GREAT FOOTAGE!
I mean AIC is still ok , I dont listen to any of it because Laynes voice to me was AIC. Layne wrote and was of much of the writing from Dirt on. Also his writing was amazing in Mad Season. Hell Layne singing anything is amazing even the cover he did with heart and the song with the second coming. Jerry is a great song writer and guitarist but to say he was AIC is definitely a bit much. It was literally all of them that made that AIC sound what it was. Duvall sounds meh to me. Layne is one of the greatest vocalists ever and one you can feel the passion in every word. One does not just listen to Layne you feel him.
@@OGGOAT23 he did write them all himself. From Dirt on Layne co wrote and wrote on his own. AIC was a great band because all 4 parts were great. Imo William is not and the band is missing that great front man. Hell there is a reason Jerry coveted Layne so heavily in the beginning because Jerry though he can sing is not an iconic voice and neither is William but Jerry knew Layne had it.
@@OGGOAT23 also look at how great Mad season was and Layne wrote there too. Imo Mad season had more great songs on one album which was made in days then AIC has since Layne died. Songs are still well written but again are missing that Layne effect at lead vocals.
I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes in this quality.
I can't either

Came here just to see that nanosecond of Demri in motion. She's so captivating in photographs 🥀

I remember this show all to well, that smokey pit was one of the best places in town to see live bands. Only place better was the Music Bank!
True vibe of an Offramp show, pit-ifully fabulous, Dread! Crowdsurfers aloft!
Dayuuummm! 😮 so glad this video popped up in my feed!

So basically homeboy quit filming then continued right when she left. Classic
Woww ,:-0
So he turned it off and waited for her to leave lol
Man, those were the days!!! I still get goosebumps just thinking back to it all.
This show happened on my 4th birthday. Thank you, 30 years later, for the best birthday present a 4 year old could ask for.

Yes!!💜💜
thank you for this treasured videos
He looked the greatest here. He looked best with long hair with hippie necklaces and clothes.
The irresponsibility that ensued with laynes death left someone at fault finding his body afflicted with rigemortis days later.
Damn the band was tight as fuck in 91 wow, just wish there were some higher quality recordings from back then anyone know of any???!!!
This recording and the one in the Moore are the best from that era
this is outrageously good
2020 love you still ♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a find! Here in 2024 still discovering AIC content. It's not official until TheStepMonkey comments on the video.
23:57 that persons shirt is so fucking cool. also the band is kicking assss that opening vocal for this song..killer
Lol!! Layne making all these jokes at the audience .. 😂
The 1 & Only Alice in Chains!
Begins with "Real Thing".
Audio quality is awesome. Video is fucking great too.
Lol....."what do I look like the beer vendor..?" Ah layne.....
three missing songs in the beginning
1.) Man in the Box
2.) Put You Down
3.) Real Thing
Dirt was about to get nasty and then just as it starts, it ends ... what a bummer
Amazing sound captured by a VHS handheld recorder in 1991
That thing had a good mic, this dude was ahead of his time.
Hell yes. Made my day.
I don’t deserve to find this.
It was so hard to take a cell phone video back in the day because they were so big that you partially had to rest it on your shoulder
Uhhh no. There were no cell phone videos in 91.
