He was actually sick during this performance and it was angel dust not just heroin.

He was so handsome 💗

@TheStepmonkey Nah, he was absolutely fucking beautiful!!!

[@brettrosselle6151]

Damn... that voice. One in a billion.

[@chrisverstappen7252]

unfuckinreal heh👍

[@bguts5584]

And he knew it to, beautiful soul Layne just doing what he did. Very rare vocal range in that style.

[@MGV23]

Layne wasn't one in a billion, he was just one in a lifetime

[@barbaramarino4481]

Layne Staley and Chris Cornell..What a loss to the world...So talented

[@vinyldiary6664]

The two best voices of the glorious 90's! And the 90s have fucking vocalists!

[@AWCTB]

Even though Kurt was miles behind them, he was a huge loss too

[@bobbyj5634]

ever notice how Layne is way louder than the band? amazing

[@ryanbeasley6224]

yeah especially when he tries to let people know that there's fire in his eyes poor guy no one tried to put the fire out :( every time he screamed it his pal jerry would just talk about sewing them shut then he'd scream "Jesus Christ" then jerry would say "deny your maker" and I just think that's a little over board with the whole religious thing I mean Layne was just in pain I'd start screaming my makers name too if I had fire in my eyes :\

[@spencercoe3804]

Ryan Beasley This is a funny comment and all, but you do that the lyric is "feed my eyes" right?

[@noname-ib3fe]

I was on another video (can't remember what it was called) where different musicians were talking about Layne and they all said the same thing about how powerful his voice was. Again, I can't remember who it was, possibly Mike McCready, said you could hear Layne's voice on stage as well as the projected voice through the speakers. LEGEND!

[@Ssv714]

Spencer Coe Jesus Christ, deny your maker

[@Bryson-nb7bw]

Yea Layne was a beast but that can be achieved by being closer to the microphone. It's very easy to not be able to hear urself when ur singing into a mic that has to be mixed hence sound checks.

[@bringbackreagan1]

I'm actually going to for the simple reason that ONE: you can never, ever have too many versions of anything live by them, with Layne. TWO: it's how I keep discovering even better performances than the one before.

[@TheStepmonkey]

Exactly!

[@LaynesPayne6702]

Yes! My fav so far is MITB live at Moore theater, '90. And the whole mtv unplugged set was angelic. What I wouldn't do to be able to see them live (with Layne, of course). 😣 I never really understood people's Fandom for any artist/actor. I've heard people say "so&so's music changed my life!" & I thought they were being dramatic. Until aic. Their music & lyrics are...I can't even describe it. Love them SOOO MUCH.

[@Einheerjar]

People should remember that in 93 he got some bad flu, if I´m not mistaken. Singing this song with the flu or even a cold ISN´T an easy task.

[@thedarkknightisrisingup7640]

Correction: Singing this song isn't easy

[@boonedocksfl2012]

Wonder if he had his uhh..vaccine

[@bobbyj5634]

That's called talent boys and girls.. cool throw back, love seeing them in their prime just having fun......

[@2pacinseattle]

Layne could still sing in 1996, during his last concert he still possessed the same power and ferocity. There never was a point when he couldn't sing.

[@Brandooch11]

Gonz Wouldgo 100% true. His system was so fried that he couldn’t put as much power and grit into his vocals. I don’t know if you’ve seen the video of Man in The Box during Layne’s last show, but he couldn’t even reach the regular pitch of the song. He had to sing it in a lower octave... it’s so sad to watch because everyone knows that he was putting every ounce of effort he had, even tho he was sick to death....

[@nkw1985]

Brandooch 11 - I noticed that too. In MTV Unplugged he still sounded great but you could tell he was weak and the heroin was taking it's toll. I think in his prime he was probably the greatest rock singer of all time though...never fails to give me goosebumps and make my jaw drop when he unleashes his vocals.

[@scottcooneymusic6736]

He struggled mightily the last performance. He would have admitted that. He's my favorite singer by far ever. But he did lose the ability to draw the power he was so widely known for late in his career. He's is still my all time favorite vocalist ever though. What an amazing voice.

[@gckbowers411]

He sung a lower octave for the first chorus but by the end of the song was back up to normal

[@robinknook]

Great to see this show. I was the guy on stage. So happy this is recorded. Glad someone had a 92 iPhone 😆🤘🏻

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Was it really you that jumped up on stage!? Always wondered if I'd find myself in one of the many, MANY concert vids from shows I went to growing up!! *

[@recien2254]

One of the many reasons this is my favorite version of man in the box is because of 0:41.

[@Ciscoguy30]

those pipes man, miss that..friggin shame.

[@2pacinseattle]

No one can touch Layne's vocals, nevermind Duvall.

[@edgarallanswole]

2pacinseattle Layne couldn’t touch his own vocals in ‘96

[@lovingklimt]

Dan Flaherty that's because he was killing himself with drugs. He couldn't be powerful like this when he could barely stand up and breath. :(

he blasted out the high notes, idk what video you were watching...even in 96' at one of his last concerts he did this song and blasted out the high notes.

[@renrose2386]

I've even dreamed of Layne, I wish I'd seen them play live

[@nashnwo1234]

believe me he still could at this point, i heard him sing this song many times in 93 and he nailed it again and again. last song of the concert, long tour, body in bad shape as it is, he's incredible. his voice wasnt as deep as in 90-91 i guess but we all know why that was... but yeah, still 100x more interesting than duvall singing these songs and always will be because its authentic.

[@lovingklimt]

nashnwo1234 duvall is out there doing layne's karaoke so not even a close competition.

[@samuelcalderon5194]

love it!

[@mikeriggs1944]

Awesome stuff

[@BuyHighSellLow1]

Powerful and similar to the album, but clearly experimenting to show off his ability. Very impressive with the crystal clear screaming followed by low B (?) flats. Insane voice control. Even when sick or high on heroin, this guy had massive ability, emotion through voice, and power. One of a kind. And thank you camera man for recording this. Cheers!

He was the best I miss you so much. Sorry for Alice in Chains. Sorry Duval. But Layne is the only legend.

[@kylegroover1655]

Soooo clean

[@conwaysdetailing387]

This was one of the most health and powerful forms. Only problem is its just like running a really good running car hard for a long time and it handles it, and provides smooth power over and over. But one day it starts up and smokes a bit, doesnt run the same. So you run it harder and harder. Untill one day it gives out.

jerry said he was feeling sick poor guy :( I know his pain I played the drums for at a birthday party for an hour one time and I was running a fever that blows I think it would be harder trying to play guitar sick tho and I think the hardest thing to do sick would be singing.

I wonder if the present day Alice in Chains ever looks over at DuVall and just thinks "Man.... That's not Layne."

[@gunnerr91]

AzhiaziamL well yea that's not layne that's duvall

[@recien2254]

Gonz Wouldgo I definitely agree. It must be heartbreaking when Jerry Cantrell forgets and looks over expecting to see his best friend Layne and it is Duvall. That’s not to say that Duvall it not closely associated with AiC but Layne and Jerry were a lot closer and went through a ton of pain and other things together.

[@edgarallanswole]

Y’all would be throwing a fit had they hired a Layne soundalike...probably piss and moan saying “Jerry can’t let go”. Layne’s dead. Move on just like the band did.

[@Turk_2023]

William was with Jerry before Layne died, on the Degredation Trip tour..... I would assume William was going to be in AIC as a guitar player even if they continued with Layne..... His guitar added another element to the AIC songs Jerry was playing at that time, that they could no do with 1 guitar very well.....................

[@nevermindniki9413]

:'( yeah.....

[@Aaliyah_Cantrell]

Layne looks like little sweet boy with this hairdo :)

[@DARRINCONNOR1]

I always thought Layne gave his all in every performance. I mean this song in particular, how can you say hes not giving it his all? We all know about Laynes "vices" I will admit by 96-97 the "obvious" had everything to do with his condition, and not his personal will to perform, or lack of performing, Im not arguing with you in any way, just anAIC fan like you!! I will agree the "Facelift video- black and white concert, Seattle" is on my top 5 fav live performances O.A.T.!!!

[@adoralysfadoralysf4179]

I listened to that interview where Jerry compared the replacement of Layne with William Duvall, to the AC/DC replacement of Bon Scott with Brian Johnson. As much as I love Jerry I would say that certainly isn’t the case with AIC. Layne could blow down walls with both his voice and presence, whereas DuVall is nasally and really really irritating. A more fitting comparison would be Mercury replaced by Lambert. And even that is generous.

[@Tdrummer888]

I feel bad for Mike Starr when all I see are comments whining about Staley's death and replacement lol

[@lovingklimt]

TripleEightVideos True but Layne was the soul of the band. They could go on and be good without Mike but not without Layne. Also, Layne was one of the most talented vocalists in rock and roll history.

[@Donesy32]

No doubt he could hit the high notes, but not like he could when they recorded the song. That's why they changed the volcanoes in the chorus that way he wouldn't blow his voice out. Even in this video he's having a hard time. Earlier he'd be able to articulate his words, in this video he's just yelling.

[@recien2254]

Justin Dones you call 1:18 not articulating your voice??????!!! He didn’t even sound that good while recording the song!!!! In the song at this same point it sounds a little similar to the Album version but Laynes continues to articulate his voice at other points in the song where he didn’t in the original recorded album version.

[@Spyhydro]

Crazy the three best singers in the world Chris Layne an chester. All of them had demons that couldn't beat.

[@mmeatheaddd]

there is some truth to what you are saying.but i think its more from the drug use then layne's lack of will.its the drugs that killed him and even stole some not of of his talent.90-91 he was in his prime and the drugs did not destroy him yet,by 96-97 they eat him up.

[@jessebradford3900]

There really is a difference between hitting a note and hitting a note from your own voice. The covers people do, there either trying to mimic Laynes personal voice or they use their own but it’s just not and will never sound as good as Layne. Haha they would literally had to have been born with Laynes voice instead of their own

[@tricksterD8]

I think in 90 and 91 Layne did better. might be BC the new record face lift just came out...so they was getting known. and he wanted to do his best. over the years i saw alot of Layne live. and i think he got more laid back with it. pretty much use to it. knowing he didnt have to proof himself to anyone. since AIC was already well known. thus...making a sloppy show.....just my thoughts tho. watch him live in 91 black and white video. it was soooo good! BC he tryed his best.

[@BURCHtv]

1 person got their nose shoved in shit!!!!

[@lucidity910]

I think maybe the nonstop touring took its toll on his voice. Vocal chords can only take so much abuse.

[@Donesy32]

I think this is where his voice started to really change to more of the tripod voice. Damn shame he couldn't hit those high notes, but he still hits the notes better than Duvall's crackly, nasally singing voice.

[@junkhead223]

Crack and heroin(smoked) do scald you're vocal chord's after a while and damage you're lung's making for a raspier voice and harder on the lung's to sing, don't ask me how i know but it really does suck....

[@darcyforbes2337]

jerry c is the band layne was awesome.e but jerry us the talented one

[@patrik1684]

Not like Rio.

[@pilapilao]

heheh but in his case, this flu is called heroine

[@TaylerMeeks]

Actually, he just couldn't sing as well or easy, the stuff that he was puting in his body greatly affected his vocal chords. Realllllly sucks too,
