Alice In Chains 1990 Seattle [full live show]

[@TheGrunger32]

Good footage, right!? I was sitting atop a bench to get this clear of a shot. Layne's voice is just perfect. Enjoy.

[@joncotegolf]

SWEET JESUS! How do you grow up thinking you can be a lead singer of a rock band after watching this. I'm not a religious man but if there is a god he touched that boy with THE VOICE.

[@mhintz34]

I would literally give up my left testicle to go back in time and be at this show.

[@AICMasta]

Great to see all these kids saying they wernt born yet listening and watching this..

[@crazyaboutnature]

This Layne compared to the 1996 Layne are like two different people; different voices, different look; different stage prescence. But both badass nonetheless.

[@Fitch721]

Why this band didn't sell as many copies as metallica I'll never know.

[@Smith89123]

Listen to that fucking voice.

[@issacchadbourne8117]

layne fell so quick. at times its unbelievable what happened to him in the end. we all miss him. RIP Layne Staley & Mike Starr

[@RAsphalt]

the sexiest most powerful manly voice ever

[@hybridtheory3]

Facelift is one of the greatest albums ever...

[@2redsoxrule]

Mike was truly a badass bass player. Much respect.

[@scottnjasonsmom]

Of all the Alice concerts I've seen, this is the happiest I've ever seen Layne, smiling and interacting with the crowd.

[@GLWillaims]

the best concert i never went too!

[@klpriver]

It ain't like that anymore.

[@rockrenegade]

Jerry always said how trippy it was that Layne at 100lb or so sounded like a 300lb bearded man :P

[@TheCamarodude96]

wow they performed the entire album the day it was released...lucky people got to see them live..

[@wesmccollaum]

I am a 45 year old male who was in my twenties during the very beginning of alice way back in the diamond lie days.My step brother jim cooper played bass with jerry in diamond lie and I was playing the seattle scene in my own band.even got into a boxing match with jerry over the mother of my kids.he won but she still had two children with me.I love chainz and still have my facelift demo.Layne you were 100% original theres nothing like your and jerrys dischorded harmonies.man those were the days.

[@Smith89123]

Layne what a legend and he looked really fucking happy and healthy there, also love the interaction he has with the crowd throughout the show that you can only really have at these small intimate club shows.

[@tonypotts1067]

19:53 shows the clear spirit n' chaos of what was Seattle at the time. Staley doesn't even blink. This is what we all saw in Staley back then...his banter between songs, actually having fun AND showing it and just incredible vocals. Remember, this is a handcam video from 1990, audio through a piece of crap mic on the cam. As for the Off Ramp, it was a special place.

[@xOptix78]

THIS is the stuff that proves who is a true musician and who is just an over processed studio puppet pushed to sell records. No mixing or remastering and Layne doesn't miss a note. God, I miss his voice and the mark he made on music.

[@tommyfuller103]

Man Layne could really belt out those songs what a great vocalist!

[@JasonTrini1]

Layne was a fuckin BEAST! Good God! What a band!

[@77carter8]

Layne is my favorite rock voice ever. Having said that Jerry Cantrell wrote most the music, and lyrics. Layne did write as well but the vast majority was Cantrell.

[@TheGrunger32]

BTW, the guy calling for the beer is the same guy holding the video camera recording this show. He got thirsty but couldn't leave his position for obvious reasons. I think he deserves a break for a beer request. :)

[@coffinshaker]

I was there over on Mike's side of the stage. God, better times.

[@TacomaPaul]

So lucky to live here... and to be old. ;-) Saw Heart at Astor Park in '75 with fake ID... and so many others early on. And then the mid-80s happened. Green River, Mother Love Bone, TAD, Mudhoney, Melvins, Nirvana at the Community Theater in Tacoma in '88 (there's awesome horrible videos of it !)... Pearl Jam outdoors under the Space Needle... all so good.

[@BleedingWalls420]

Bands just aren't this awesome these days. Not even close. 90's FTW.

[@ACEshredZ]

I was 9 months old (minus 1 day) during this show. Who knew they would become one of my favorite bands of all time..and Layne, my favorite singer.

[@MrJscalzo]

Guy crowd surfing during Sunshine pops up at the exact perfect time.. These guys were great. Glad I got to see them a few times back when music was great.

[@omfug7148]

Layne would have turned 46 in August...just mind blowing...such a great singer...

[@2redsoxrule]

How the hell did this video come about? Easily the best video of AIC on the net.

[@hermaggiesty]

This audience is freaking awesome.

[@Darrell1977]

Isn't it great that somebody though of filming this when I would have just spent the time in the mosh pit in front of the stage?

[@tiemyshoes92]

the best band in the 90s youll never hear or see anything like this again the short time layne was with us and the huge impact he and aic left will be felt for generations to come

[@Alexs.2599]

God this is so awsome seeing Layne healthy and strong. Man I wish had been at that show. Exicting time.

[@Bachfan20]

Man that boy had some pipes on him. Still amazes me all this time later!

[@strngrthnplpfctn]

It's so good to see him loving life, which is obvious by the huge smile on his face. I hope he was finally able to be this happy again when he left this world that brought so much misery from drugs and the loss of the one he loved. Truth be told, drugs are not the way to heal the pain we feel inside, and only bring further pain in the end.

[@nickgrungemetal]

im absoloutely amazed by this video right now

[@tiaszzz]

these guys didnt really get better with age... they were simply badass since beginning

[@artmpowers]

watching this is looking back into a time we will never get to see again.

[@zjulio98]

i love it how some guy flipped off Layne and Layne just smiled

[@chrispepitone2679]

Miss the old days of Alice in Chains That concert was kickass, seeing from the video. So much energy these guys had. My God Layne and Mike are missed so much. Thank you for the video, that's all we have left are these memories. Thank God I was had these guys in my life. This was great times!!

[@sayiwont9490]

Out of all the Rock voices, Layne is # 1..... What a voice!!! I grew up in Marysville about half hour north of Seattle... Man, did I miss out.

[@pkhrezo-prodigalone49]

No kidding. Layne in his prime. Rock on, brother. RIP

[@MatiBorkBorek]

Really great show. I like this ''metal'' side of Alice. Facelift is their best.

[@alice2663]

Laynes 23rd Bday was the next day,He had an awesome night.

[@emiabalde]

GOD, I LOVE THIS MAN

[@michaelmarino8835]

I LOVE THIS!!!!! I MISS LAYNE!! I MISS OLD TIMES!! I MISS GOOD MUSIC!! i MISS YOU LAYNE!!

[@GJones462-2W1]

Two of four are gone. So, so sucks. Fucking Layne's voice is heaven!

[@gamjammer]

Layne was so alive, very cool and sad to watch at the same time.

[@Greighday]

The best live version of "Queen of the Rodeo" I've ever seen! So Awesome!

[@chriswright4878]

Holy shit they were so amazing!!! Ive seen them live 3 times. Once with layne and twice with Will. I had tickets for the tour with Metallica but we all know what happened there. AiC will always be my favorite band!!!!

[@Smiirffable]

i swear layne could be a stand up comedian..

[@JanaSuzanne]

never seen so many moshing mullets in my life

[@jennyf1012]

This is Great!!! I truly wish we could go back to times like this, Great music, Our amazing boys!!! It is a phenomenal performance. Thanx for posting. I love Layne's Strength, stage presence! and that smile after "It ain't like that" 5:00 min. Awwwww so cute!!! Mike's intensity OMG incredible!!! These 2 men are truly missed.

[@moorejason1669]

noone will ever have those killer harmonies like layne and jerry, even live they got it

[@xaviermccants1815]

I am so grateful for this band and what they have done to my life. there's comfort everyday when I take the good with the bad with this music behind me. o.0

[@111FAS]

I really REALLY enjoyed this concert....from my laptop ;-(

[@crazyangst12]

even the camera had moments of headbanging. Man I wish I lived at that time

[@TymedLynez]

Born and Raised on AIC....never be the same without you layne R.I.P.

[@sharktroubles]

FUCKIN' AWESOME!!! I felt like I was actually in attendance even though this is KZbin. Thanks for posting this show! I miss Layne, Mike and this incredible band. Super stoked that they saw the light of day and left such a vital musical legacy.

[@digital-alchemist]

Wow, what a great show. Must have been right after Facelift came out. Thanks for posting this. Love it.

[@sixfootcorpse]

...Just Give Me Another Blast... When Layne sings he tears the sky, only the good Die Young; and to however said Jerry doesn't play shows like he use to well, he's 23 years older now, he smokes cigarettes, and he's had some tough times, I think he's doing a great job.RIP Layne, Mike.

[@DayUno413]

hold on to that memory my friend!!! because (i speak for myself) i know there are sooo many of us out there that would GIVE A LIFE to be able to have seen them live. AiC forever!!!!!

[@THQRSWORLD]

i live seattle and frequently visit some of the places that they first played(lynnwood skate and bowl), or walk around the udsitrict where layne lived and got high. and apparently was seen around here and there when he was smacked out of his mind. Whats also nice is i know quite a few people who either met him or have partied with him before he was big. and that goes for the whole band actually. Hell that goes for pretty much all those great bands that call seattle home. awseom fuckin stories

[@jbruder02]

Bleed the Freak... that is all.

[@scorpinzona]

This is fucking awesome, Layne had some killer pipes. I was lucky enough to see them open for Van Halen back in 91..kickass show.

[@onetime504]

Jerry just wrote/writes riff after riff after riff

[@TheMindy77]

OMG if was that close to Jerry or Layne, there would have to be mass amounts of body guards holding me back LOL

[@vanzeppelin7]

who the hell didn't like this?

[@darklordixor]

I agree while Kurt's singing was good, and song writing great Staley has amazing vocals.

[@RichardStevenson92]

Man its fucking nice to see Layne and Mike so alive

[@colico14]

Layne's voice is in incredibly good form here! Fucking powerful; he's howlin'!

[@Welder1stdegree]

wow, just went on a 90's kick, watched Singles and thought of seeing AIC. I guess this is as close as I'll ever get. Thanks whoever shared this for doing so. Deadly!

[@dheasuin78]

What a performance. I got chills listening to Confusion. Many thanks for posting this.

[@bottomfeeder420]

I only saw AIC live once, opening up for Anthrax and MegaDeth. It was an outdoor show at Trout Air, just outside of Minneapolis MN. We sat out in the field and smoked hash before the show. God what good times those were... Like seemingly so many things from our youth, Trout Air was replaced by 'development'.

[@snohwal1]

Someone get the guy a beer!! He's doing a great fucking job!

[@krisluvs1]

i know i missed it all cause im 29 years old , damn i still listened to them in the 90s surprisingly i little kid with great taste in music...:)

[@wickedlala420]

LMAO... Sean and his head gear! The man is always funny....as hell, and really deserves more recognition than was he gets. Great upload..Thanks ♫

[@69stepe]

Man this is some GREAT SHIT!!!!! Amazing footage, for sure from the master tape... The quality is amazing compare to all that i'v seen on youtube... I love bootlegs, cuz because of them we can all see the "REAL THING" Raw live at his best!!! AIC For ever!!! RIP Layne... And finally A HUGE THANKS to you JermeysChannel for sharing this treasure whit us;)) Love you!!!

[@SKOJCV]

No shit man being in the crowd was half the fun for me. Miss those days...

[@Zerkzeez]

I bought Facelift in 1990. "Grunge" was not a term then. They were just a band that had a sound that was different from all the other bands whose videos were played on Headbanger's Ball at that time, and for that reason I instantly dug it. They only downside was they spawned a lot of comically inferior imitations (I don't think I have to name them). I suppose the imitators were paying them tribute in a way, but to my ears it sounded like mockery. They were missing the indefinable essence.

[@ohmah70]

Thank u so fucking much for this

[@alice2663]

DAMN STRAIGHT ! ALICE IN CHAINS ROCKS !

[@scheshire7]

This is what rock stars are SUPPOSED to look like

[@PaulHale]

I miss the old Off Ramp...

[@socalartgal]

@TheGrunger32 Ha! Its so hard for me to believe that all this happened over twenty years ago! AIC is so grungy and raw in this video and Layne's voice is perfection! What a gem! Thank you!

[@EvilOrange]

Unchained on 17:24, hell yeah, AiC rocks!

[@MelissaPanek123]

Awesomeness INDEED !!! Confusion is one of my favorite songs by them and it's such a rarity to find it live, never mind in this quality. You are officially my new BFF !!!

[@crashtesttard9073]

He says "Goddamn that's nice, what is that, velvet?!"

[@crob187]

bleed the freak is my shiiiiiiiiiiit.

[@RAsphalt]

This is my favorite band Jerry amazing songwriter + fantastic guitar, Sean precise dynamic drumming, both bass players have been creative too, of course Layne's singing + some great lyric writing on his part, but I don't equate the band with the frontman like so many do. Most perfect combo of musicians IMHO, they became one artist. I think Duvall is talented too, I just think they need to write more potent songs for me to get that magical feeling. I like Acid Bubble off Black GWT Blue..

[@boaunit32]

Drugs claimed too many good musicians in the 90's including close friends. Wish sometimes I would've joined them. Sorry.

[@flaviadima1893]

the dude at 22:30 must be the funniest crowdsurfer in history

[@junkhead223]

Laynes kicked this shows ass.

[@hbhollybuchanan76]

unfucking real. this band will never be topped. layne's always a play button away

[@jocorocket]

Truly original.....Layne was amazing as was the rest of the band! LONG LIVE AIC!

[@downvan77]

Damn that's bad ass! Thanks for the post!!!

[@0xUntitledx0]

This is so awesome! Thank you, really thank you!!

[@doom861]

Alice in chains, the best band in the Grunge scene, the voice's Layne is amazing... R.I.P. You RocK!!!
