Alice in Chains Rotterdam live at Rotterdam 1993

[@geekonomic]

I was there. Front and center. At the start of the Jar of Flies teaser (the album had yet to drop in the Netherlands) I could see him walk on stage from a crack in the curtain. He was holding a bottle of Jack Daniels which by the time they started Angry Chair was virtually gone. He kept messing up during the song as well as in Hate to Feel. That caused him to destroy his guitar and his anger was palpable througout the show. At that time alcohol was not sold in the stadium, just soft drinks which sucked, especially because there was a huge stack of Budweiser cans in front of Sean's drums which everyone eyeballed. I'm not sure when but at some point a girl behind me asked to stand in front of me because she was getting squashed and was having trouble breathing. I let her infront of me and used my arms to push off against the barricade to create a little bubble for her. During Dam that River at the 40:00 mark, Layne jumped off stage for a crowd surf but somehow got hit in the nuts which angered him even further. He proceeded to pick up a can of Bud, took a sip then pelted it into the audience. I remember it as if it was yesterday: I could see the can coming towards me with lightning speed, too fast to react. Before I was able to put my hands in front of my face to shield it, the can had hit the girl standing in front of me in the forehead. The can bounced of her head and as she collapsed I managed to grab the can stuffing it in my jacket. I helped the security get the girl over the barricade and resumed my position in front. I reached in my pocket to find the can half full still. I drank half and gave the other half to my brother who was with me. Me, him and the band were the only other ones with our hands on a drink that evening. Suffices to say, had the girl not tapped me on the shoulder, my evening would have taken a different turn. There was an article about it in a Dutch music magazine afterwards. The girl never filed charges. The can with the dent from her head sits on my bookshelf to this day next to my AIC cd's. Thought you all might like this little anecdote.

[@Joffruh]

When Layne messes up during Rooster, Jerry walks away. Looks like he’s frustrated at that point, and that’s an important song to Jerry. Layne walks up to Jerry after to hit that scream together. You can tell Layne tried to nail it after that, and knowing how Layne was he probably felt bad about it. High or sober, Layne was a wonderful human being, and one of the greatest singers and frontmen to ever do it 💯🤘🏻🖤

[@derekknight9789]

LAYNE-VEDDER seems naturally known and familial. The others, not as much.

[@justiningle8884]

When your that addicted it’s just survival unfortunately

[@gianlucastefano]

Totally agree on that. Besides the fact that I (we) didn't know him, thus he was a public figure to some, to me, he was god. Neither an angel nor a devil but he could fly... even when his wings were cut off he always gave it all. His persona was all in one, Layne Staley, musician, artist, good, bad, right, wrong: human, VERY HUMAN, with human mistakes. Just Layne.

[@rlibby404]

Oh man, and when he went back to that OOOOooooohhh part at the end, and they added a bit of reverb on top of the natural ambience, I got CHILLS. Man, even out of his mind, his voice is still god-like.

[@hyunjinsamericano00]

Layne was so high he wasn't even on this planet LOL still a great show

[@AndrewLemmings]

Samantha Gamez he still kicked ass. He was so off the hook with heroin and crack. Rotterdam and Amsterdam are the places in Europe to party your ass off. Layne has already relapsed for he wasn’t clean at all, he had dealers on lollapalooza bring him heroin, while he was supposed to be clean and taking methadone. He stayed off crack and was drinking using methadone and taking heroin on top of it. Methadone is good for recovery for some but it wasn’t for him. He wasn’t ready. And this was around the time Layne and Demri were broken up, and Layne was probably broken inside. Poor Layne, and I feel bad for the band mates. But I’ve been in his shoes. All I can say is I’m on suboxone now and doing better than ever as suboxone doesn’t get you high if you are opioid tolerant, just takes away the cravings. It’s very potent though and is risky for anyone who’s opioid naive and wouldn’t suggest recreational use for it could cause an overdose and then the naloxone will kick in and it wouldn’t be pretty. I wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy, Layne was crying for help, anyone in active addiction is because they’re alone, on a dark and lonely journey that’s a slow suicide. They don’t want help when they can get off easily but by the time you want off, you need help and have lost the will and the drive and everything that goes along with that to get off. It’s a slow suicide, a true suicide. And withdrawal is ugly, and painful, and if you saw anyone go through it, you’d see why addicts keep using, it’s no longer getting high for that feels normal to them, like medication does after you become used to its side effects. Even if everyone can see it’s affects on you, you can’t feel it nor notice it. It’s normal. It’s sad. RIP Layne RIP Mike.

[@richard010nl4]

No it wasn't. It was ok at best. The had to make the hall 1/3 smaller, it started way too late and they seemed uninspired.

At least Layne was lively. Not just standing going through the motions

[@carolineroggenbuck9381]

This literally has me in tears. I have never seen Layne as fragile as in this performance - this includes Unplugged and his last show at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City in 1996. I want to take care of him - SAVE him. It is a painful reminder that no matter Layne was gifted with immense talent, he was just as human as you or I. May you rest in peace, Layne.

[@Olubumni]

I’m with you 😢. This hard to watch. I’m a physician and one of my patients died last week from an overdose. It just makes me so sad. Layne❤️❤️❤️

[@carolineroggenbuck9381]

@@Olubumni You are brave for being a physician - especially during the pandemic. Do you have support for not only the recent passing but also for the other deaths you saw regarding COVID? I wish they would have stopped the concert and called to have Layne taken to the ER as it looks like he was near death during this. I feel so sorry for Layne. He was so fragile. and likely got a lot of hell from the other members.

[@Olubumni]

@@carolineroggenbuck9381 Awe, thank you so much! My husband's a physician too. We're both 48 years old, so we're used to the stress of medicine. I've practiced in Florida since 2007, so we've suffered from the opioid epidemic tremendously. When I first moved here from NJ, I was in shock how the doctors would give out pain meds like candy. It was like the wild west! I've never been that doctor. I'm seen too much death. As for Layne, it's hard to make an adult stop doing drugs. I just try to listen to them, help them get clean, let them know they have to do it for themselves or they'll die. So many make it past addiction. Thank goodness❤❤❤. I don't blame his band members at all.. You can't make him go to the hospital unless he's overdosed, harming himself or others. I have to take care of the family and friends who are left behind when they die. That's the hardest part 😢.

[@bradpity]

christ almighty this isnt just a rock performance, this is interpretive art

[@rlibby404]

@24:30 looks like he had a captivating flashback that almost took him down. I'm guessing he had a good time the night before, didn't sleep, and kept upping all day. I'm not a fan of public displays of the extreme neurotic behaviors associated with hardcore drug abuse, but for that song, I couldn't imagine a more perfect depiction of the mental state required to inspire and create a song like that.(Well, short of actually acting out the lyrics but no one wants to see that). Also, I've never seen a live performance of What the Hell Have I before, and that was great!

[@marijaj.8644]

Every time when Jerry have his solos, Layne live him in front. That's so great

Layne was giving some Scott Weiland vibes there dancing and shit, stoned as fuck, he was also smoking in his vocal body support moments, that ain't pleasant to watch for obvious reasons, this ain't no Zoo, this man was in struggle.

[@Adrian101882]

“WoOoooO!” 59:31 - Layne’s clearly feeling goood 1:00:31 - this comes back to bite him, accidentally jumping ahead in the song and having to correct on the fly I wonder if Jerry lectured him after this performance. Whatever he was on, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Layne this wasted during a concert. He still sounded great as usual, but man he was all over the place in more than one sense during this one.

[@AndrewLemmings]

Mandy Beach most have in this day in age. I was heavily addicted to brown smack, Xanax, and ice. Been in public when i was high and tried to keep a low profile because of my mom usually being the one who would drive me to Walmart or a restaurant, and it wasn’t easy to hide. Lost a lot of friends due to my demons. No way to live. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy... such a slow suicide but we have no control, and it’s either going on the best you can till the bitter ends; jails, institutions or death. Or find a new way to live through the help of a positive sober support system, and whatever your recovery is, whether opioid replacement therapy like I’m on, in patient short or long term, outpatient rehab, drug court, or 12 step meetings and finding a sponsor. And reading the negative addiction into something positive by giving back to others, especially in need of help, making amends, or becoming something positive such as a spokesman as a recovery advocate. Even music and art. So sad seeing people die due to this vicious disease. Layne always nailed his shows oblivious or sober. He was a one of a kind that we will probably never come across again... RIP Layne Thomas Staley and Michael Christopher Starr...

[@jacobbear5971]

manifestgtr haha goddamn bro! I saw your comment, and had to see how it sounded.

[@AndrewLemmings]

He was on crack the way it seems considering he was already smoking crack by 1992, since shooting heroin and coke together is a scary hallucination type experience according to Scott Weiland. I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s on smack and crack, speedball. He acts like he is, everyone knew he’d be drinking when he was on methadone during Lollapalooza 1993. He’d still technically been using, he wasn’t sober. You can’t drink like that and be clean. It’s not shocking he went back to heroin. Sad the Metallica guys made fun of him when Alice cancelled their tour with them due to Layne’s crippling illness. “Slow suicide’s no way to go..” it’s no way to live, wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy... RIP

[@AndrewLemmings1998]

Everytime I watch this performance, it makes me feel so sad to see Layne in such a state. But as a recovering addict, I need the reminder sometimes of the reality. Layne was such a good person according to those closest to him. I wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy, it is literal hell and torment and only you hold the key to unlock your prison, but it takes such a long time to acknowledge it, let alone do something about it. And unfortunately for Layne, the band kept pulling him out of rehab way too soon to go back on tour or to record more music. And they were all so young so they didn’t realize what they were doing. They were all just as sick as him. Addiction does not discriminate.

[@AndrewLemmings]

Lucy Mana it’s so sad to see him in that state, it’s sad seeing anyone in that state. They lose control by that point. And addiction highjacks the brain. I see the disappointment. But every band member had they’re own habits and demons they were fighting.

[@ryano460]

I yet have to buy the book but was Jerry free of any have addictions? I mean, it must’ve been a crazy time for all of them. But it must be hard seeing your best friend sliding down like that, I agree with you

[@AndrewLemmings]

Ryan O Jerry was heavy into alcohol and cocaine mostly. And so was Sean. Mike Inez loved beer. Layne was drinking Jack, shooting oxys, heroin and sinking crack during the first leg of the Dirt tour until Lollapalooza. Mike Starr pretty much looked up to Layne, but liked Girl’s in their late teens, early 20s. He was using mostly ecstasy, alcohol, coke, eventually crack, heroin, and Xanax. And later in life Xanax and Methadone as prescribed and Dilaudid to help with physical ailments that methadone doesn’t really help much with, despite its analgesic effects, after being on it for so long, like any other opioid you gain a tolerance and eventually no longer can feel the effects wanted and/or needed. But he was using dilaudid off the streets, and that’s how he overdosed and died due to A Mixture of Xanax(alprazolam), Methadone, and Dilaudid (hydromorphone). Methadone has a unique effect that causes you to have less tolerance to opioids, while oddly enough it’s a potent synthetic opioid itself. But to answer your question, all the band members had their own addictions, Layne was no worse than the rest, but because he was the frontman, the spotlight was more on him than the other members and making him out to be out of control “unlike the other members” when they were just as out of control. RIP Layne, RIP Mike. LSMS..

Layne was absolutely comedic in this video!!! He was hilarious- grabbing at invisible things, laying down, thoroughly enjoying it. I wonder, though, how Jerry felt about it. I agree though, it had to be hallucinogens or something. Could be a combo of stuff and of course, throw in a little heroin! I’m sure he was feeling NO pain! And STILL he manages to sing! A little off at times but considering what he may have been on, he still gave a great performance! Damn that guy could still sing, being so incredibly fucked up!!!!!!

That’s rock n roll. But very well put! I live with addicts in my family and it affects me as I had done heroin meth and Xanax together, speedball for a while and no one heard my silent cries for help, it’s a dark and lonely road, a slow suicide that you lose the will and the power to do anything about on your own. It’s a chronic, progressive and fatal disease I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I’m on suboxone right now and doing good in recovery, have a felony expunged off my record, got my band back up and running and a girlfriend I’m marrying this summer, with a 3 year old step son I see as my own.

[@AndrewLemmings]

He was already smoking Crack by 92, makes sense that he kept walking away from the view of the audience at some points to get more hits. And he got worse through out the show. I always wondered, it makes perfect sense now. Though, that's rock n roll for ya. Layne's voice being horse when talking in between songs explains a lot, his voice was horse from his mouth being too dry. drugs are bad, but your mind as an addict is worse than the drug, for the mind is the enemy and is convinced it needs the drugs to survive, and in extreme cases, you can legit die without them, with benzos and alcohol, and long-term opioid, and namely heroin, methadone, and other full opioid longterm use and abuse, detox can cause a brain hemorrhage causing one to die in detox, like after many years, not months, but years, of your body being fully dependent on such drugs, especially in large quantities of use. RIP Layne. Layne's vocals, the songs, his quotes, etc, have saved me from relapse. I've been on suboxone for close to a year now, but without it, I'd still be using. And I always remind myself of Layne's situation he went through, Poor Layne. I empathize, wish he didn't stay on that train. But addiction is lifelong, and it's either to keep using till you reach jails, institutions, and death, or find a new way to live and fill the void with something positive. For addicts, as he said in "God Smack", "Can't get high, or you will die / Or you'll die/ What in God's name have you done?/ Stick your arm for some real fun/ So your sickness weighs a ton/And God's name is smack for some", which by saying that, even though you don't realize how bad off you are, your drug of choice replaces whatever your ideal "God" is., because you have to have it to function after so long. If it runs in the family, don't chance trying drugs, I'm talking to every single one of you, it's not worth the risk, trouble, nor chaos that comes along with it. RIP Layne, Gone but never Forgotten for you legacy lives on.

“I FUCKING HATE touring Europe! Ya know the only places I like are Rotterdam and Amsterdam! And wow I’m really stoned! And wow I could really use a blow job! And wow you guys are doing really good.!”

[@sanbornnc]

Will always be the best in my mind.

[@GamezHere]

TY for the video... Full Show!

[@afcorria]

claro que william no es layne pero hoy por hoy alice in chains sigue siendo de los pocos grupos que sigue haciendo buena musica rock!!!

[@Aryanof99]

True

[@nadiamaria41]

Holy crap I’ve never seen Layne in such rare form! Seems coked out of his mind. It’s painful to see but wow those vocals…!

It's definitely Nutshell. 🙂

[@sanbornnc]

Thank you dash3640!

[@johnnyutah1983]

What a waste of talent …Layne and Starr were so talented and had so much to offer …AIC was the best Grunge band of this era.. AIC needs to come out with a 4K remastered version of their concerts

[@Turk_2023]

Is this from the European tour Lanegan talks about in his book where he and Layne are completely strung out on dope?

[@wuteva34]

I’ve watched a lot of Lanes live performances on videos, and he had quite a different stage presence on this one

[@coryjeansonne9839]

He was a rock star through and through…who gives a shit what it if he was on anything…looks to me like he is doing what he was born to do! Layne was and still is the Goat!🐐🐐🐐

[@MrJaimeywea]

Lamentablemente ahora alice in chains con duvall, perdió todo esto ... EL VERDADERO GRUNGE DE ALICE IN CHAINS ... AGUANTE LAYNE Y CANTRELL !!! La mejor combinación que pudo existir !

[@goudagirl6095]

Wow, a concert AND a Layne strip show too??? LOL

[@katevielle4263]

To anyone saying how "fucked up" layne is here, he just got super stoned because weed was legal in rotterdam. He was a majority of the time clean in '93. Until the end of the year.

[@aleksastamenkovic5526]

Hell no. Normal weed cant do this to you, not even sativa strains. Only heavily laced weed can do this. I smoked that crap considering how common it is in my country. One girl near my town died from smoking it so before someone tells me its just weed with high thc levels its not. It fucks up your brain and heart a lot. I stopped smoking 5 months ago and my heart results are awful as well as my blood pressure. The high is also horrific. Dont reccomend it. The way me and my friends acted on that stuff was like we just came out of a mental asylum.

[@girlinterrupted243]

Well aren’t you dumb AF

[@augart89]

​@@aleksastamenkovic5526 you okay?

[@Stuke51]

That’s def not weed. Not even weed in 2023 does that to you and it’s super potent nowadays.

[@melaniefalke2431]

It's XTC.

Amazing one.

[@drewkrueger3267]

god am he is tripping so bad. I feel so bad for the rest of the band. so embarrassing tbh. and layne is my fav vocalist but holy fuck he’s a mess in this.

[@goofytreehugger]

Rest in piece's

[@2011mrmojorisin]

Would love to know whats going through Jerrys mind… 🙈 pleeease let the trip end! 🌈😁

[@carlosfogaca]

The 1st song is Nutshell.

[@goofytreehugger]

It's thyme to attach Blu

[@djtrixen]

WHERE can I find a DECENT AIC video that doesn't totally suck ass with video and sound quality?!?? No offense now, the music is awesome, but seriously... did anyone ever shoot a decent video from back in the day???

[@kojimapromeatspin]

trixen my thoughts exactly. i know videos from the 70s having better concert vids than aic live.

[@morg9267]

live in rio i think is the only one and its pretty decent

[@dannydunn2772]

The Glasgow Scotland show 93 tour is the best audio, just no video to it...Oakland has video and decent sound

[@BradCross1982]

Live at the Moore, Live at the Marquee (no video), Oakland 1992, Hollywood 1991 and 1992, Bumbershoot 1991, the Singles movie premiere. All those are pretty good. , most of the shows were filmed from the audience with crappy cameras

[@sandygoddard7478]

Jerry wasn't very energetic during this concert. Guess Layne did all the moving for him. Layne's behavior is kinda cool, kinda funny, kinds sad. Poor guy.

[@KalypsoKent]

Jerry is super professional, trying to anchor the show with a madman gone wild. 😢

[@christianstrande6084]

When layne said he was stoned, was this because of heroin? He looks more happy than usual. This show seems like it had to be a little bit faster

[@Necrostoner]

I’ve never used any hard drugs and I never will, but by the looks of it, my guess is speed?

[@rsohlich1]

he supposedly did some acid that day and I'm sure a few other substances peppered in there.

[@christianstrande6084]

He definitely looked up and happy, so i wouldnt doubt the acid part. But that deff aint meth, course we all diff with how we act with substances so.

[@goofytreehugger]

I, Like Millions Loved Layne but it's true - If He Cud Of Just Got A Handle On IT like Jerry & Sean & Soooo many others famous or Known or Not - If Only We Had them Now - HAPPY & WELL What a Blessed WORLD it wud BE Now..... there again Is that : "What If" WE CAN DREAM TIL WE MEET THEM AGAIN FOR REAL... IN THE HEAVENS.... I for One Choose to BELIEVE.... 😚

[@amyleecunningham2882]

[@gretchenlayne2335]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mikedowns3195]

I've actually seen many live performances folks it's out there all over the place nah he's pretty off that night I think he's a little too high he misses a lot of notes that's one of the weakest forms I've ever seen him singing would I've seen him do it much better kind of sad but yeah there's times though he is in god mode still.
