Everyone talking about Layne's monster performance here--and it's definitely deserved praise, the man has no equal--but Cantrell is fucking so tight on guitar. Every time he plays, the song sounds just like the studio, it's insane. His proficiency as a singer and a live guitarist goes largely unnoticed only because Layne is such a fucking monster. Really puts into perspective how truly good Layne was as a singer.

Mike had seen how bad Layne looked and wanted to call 911for an ambulance but Layne threatened to never speak to him again if he did, so Mike didnt know what to do. The last thing Layne said to anyone was to Mike and it was "dont leave, not like this" but Mike was also high on Benzos and left Layne at his apt alone. At this point Layne was pretty much dead from the abuse he put on his body, so It is not Mikes fault but he carried that guilt with him for years until he died of an OD as well in 2011. both of their stories are sad and tragic.

Shane Paterson Whoa Whoa Whoa matey'. Don't throw tomatoes to the man. He didn't mean ''soul music''. The nigga obviously said that they play ''with their souls'' when they perform live. No ''soul music'' of the 70s. Alternative metal with inches of doom, sludge, groove & funk but no soul.

The way Mike Starr plays that bass….. damn…. He almost humping it. Totally sexy man. His bass playing is so badass and sounds so punchy. Love it and him! He looked like such a cool person to know. I’ve listened to many many interviews. Love him. RIP Mike & Layne

The Bible says faith in Jesus Christ and repentance are the ONLY way into the Kingdom of Heaven. John 14:6 Make sure you get you Judgement-Ready by repenting and accepting Jesus Christ. Acts 2:38-39

When Jimi Hendrix talks about electric church music, this is what he’s talking about.

Listen to that fucking bass! R.I.P Mike and Layne.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I wasn't a huge fan of Alice in Chains until this year because I always thought Layne's vocals were too layered and overproduced. Turns out that's just how perfect he is with the rest of the band that I didn't believe it was possible to sound like this naturally.

No mobiles just music! Best era ever. Rest in peace Layne and Mike!

Jerry's solo is always on point! :)

As a true AIC fan, I am almost in tears watching this nowadays. R.I.P Layne. I know Duvall is good, but he could never replace the vocals cords that you were given, it's as if they were made out of gold.

3:40 to the end is just insane man. I think this might be the best live performance layne gave

The last chorus to man in the box live is always "bone chilling"when Layne sings it, but in this performance, i can't even describe the feeling i get every time i hear it. Definitely missed along highly UNDERRATED bassist Mike Starr, whose performance outside of his amazingly groovy bass riffs, provided the energy in the playing to me.

I grew up with them on the radio, and I never realized how talented Layne was. The whole band, really.

Even better than the studio cut. Mind blowing really. How Layne harmonized with the guitar and how he belts out the lyrics , Jerry's solo the grinding sinister rhythm section . The perfect heavy rock song. Unmatched by their fellow Seattle bands.

Jerry Cantrell is one of the most criminally underrated rock and roll stars of all time

Why oh why am I just discovering this live masterpiece? Heartbreakingly awesome vocals, instrumentals and performances.

aha couldn't agree more,I've sadly had to grow up with the sad pathetic excuse they now like to call music... it's sad to think most the kids of my generation don't even know who these guys are,let alone anyone from the grunge/alternative scene. It sickens me to know that it can only get worse from here. I'm also pretty upset about the fact that I not only missed out on GOOD music by 20 years,but when my future children hear this they're gunna be like "shit, I didn't just miss out on seeing these guys,but mom did too" Kind of funny that when my Dad bought these CDs that 25 years later his daughter was going to steal them all.

I see a lot of comments comparing Nirvana and AIC and speaking as someone that has A) seen them both in concert and B) spent time -albeit pretty fleeting- with both I would like to say this. They were both INCREDIBLE live. Both groups were filled with amazingly kind and very...conflicted people. Don't pit the two groups against each other, they were both undeniably amazing in their own right and both deserve to be celebrated for the creative geniuses that they were. Side note: Courtney really was a huge bitch, though.
