Alice in Chains - "Whale & Wasp" Benaroya Hall, Seattle, WA, Nov 2. 2007

[@brettpoe3069]

I remember hearing this as a child in the 90s going to Callaway gardens in pine mountain, Georgia. That's what this whole album reminds me of. Thanks Dad, the best gift you ever gave me was great taste in music. And life of course haha

[@_draxin_0514]

you can tell how the orchestra members are clearly not enthralled with the audiences rowdiness lol, don't blame them either.

[@Stompedout818]

This song takes my mind to a spiritual journey words can't describe it

[@Metalcop5150]

Jerry giving William the side eye for messing up his half-step bends? Priceless. It’s also a shame that a handful of low class rude fans tried to ruin the performance by screaming and yelling, to make it about themselves. Beautiful rendition of this song despite the distractions. 🤘😎🤘

[@lestupidshoes]

Great to hear this version of one of my favorite AIC songs. I wish they would have the acoustic guitar portion more pronounced instead of some stranger on stage left quietly picking the beautiful notes quietly.

[@stepheng887]

That's Scotty Olsen, bitch!

[@CP-kb1du]

who's the Stranger ?

[@Tbizzz42]

Why don't they play this live at their shows. Such a good song.

[@ryanlacey9073]

Very hard to play I’m guessing. Those bends are crazy tough

[@adrianshephard22]

@@ryanlacey9073 It's not even difficult, man. Maybe they just had their own preferences, i mean, we're not on their minds or something.

[@Saturnduv]

I Like how they stood there so awkwardly

[@mr.shadowofdeath9113]

4:35 Jerry Cantrell Was Like Nah. But they knew it was a disaster.

[@AliceInPantera]

I love the idea, but I see why this would be difficult! However…4:10 gave me chills

[@SimnoBardackus]

I wish they'd look at conductor during performance :)

[@theblind_guitarist1990]

I love this instrumental when it's performed live. Hopefully the next album, the follow-up to 2018's "Rainier Fog" will include a choir! Damn it! "All I Am", should've featured a choir! That would've been the perfect song to include a choir if a choir was featured on Alice In Chains's album, "Rainier Fog".

[@edvaughan1035]

3:44 made me vomit

[@ofon2000]

Lol holy shit that has gotta be multiple instruments all in their own unique tuning

[@kylewillis3715]

They all lost each other they ruined it

[@gavinrolls1054]

​@@ofon2000 they're all in the same tuning.. they just weren't paying together

[@novemberrain5148]

why are yall hating on this so much it doesnt matter if its not perfect just admire the talent of the music itself. jesus christ

[@CP-kb1du]

Jerry Cantrell is a Legend

[@patriciaestok9329]

An amazing performance with a rude and loud audience. No respect to the choir, the orchestra, the conductor or Alice in Chains. Shame on them.

[@529teejay]

loser

[@drumcorps0junkie]

I wish I could have this as my ring tone!

[@blown572hemi]

glad I found this even with feedback lol. Thank you!

[@robshane6634]

So badass

[@yudhasibarani8476]

Beautiful sound made by beautiful soul

[@delirio5271]

this is fucking awesome

[@jovannaolivares2274]

Fantástica interpretación me encanta ❤️🇻🇪

[@sweetpeathebreadtamer411]

Off a bit but we got to appreciate it all ❤️❤️❤️

[@JagStang77]

I think this song would've worked much better with a smaller chamber group, make it more legato and fluid, less choppy and disconnected.

[@Fuzznator]

It was bad orchestration and wrong notes

[@gameplayrusek]

tinha tudo pra ser uma apresentação maravilhosa mas destruiram tudokkk

[@CXNXB]

The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard ♥️

[@conkerjo196]

alice in chains? u mean jerry cantrell

[@sarahssentongo2587]

A lot of those violins are out of tune, thank god the guitars cover it up a bit

[@mlugin8050]

Sarah Ssentongo sounded for me like the violins were in tune but the bendings of the guitars weren‘t accurate. Anyways it was a lot of effort and it didn‘t work out like that

[@CXNXB]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this

[@battt1718]

@@mlugin8050 To me the main bends sound very close in pitch to the original song. I think the fingerstyle guitar wherever its coming from really doesn't help. Its muting notes accidentally. Not clean at all. The orchestra could be louder, and at around 3:40 Cantrell or Duvall, start making a couple of mistakes. Was an unfortunate performance, but no big deal. I would've been happy to see it live.

[@mlugin8050]

@@battt1718 i would have lived to see it live too. It was just a bit off, maybe in the timing too. But no big deal. I love the song.

[@ZelanteVR]

The beginning was promising, but they used instruments where they just didn't sound good such as brass instruments, didn't have the guitar parts that make it amazing, went off rhythm at 3:43 and played a wrong note by accident, went more off rhythm at 3:57, along with the feedback at 3:26 for whatever reason, kind of just feels like they practiced a little bit with the orchestra and then asked Jerry and William to come on stage and play some parts of the song but not all of them

[@Stacey73701]

Beautiful ♥️🎶

[@hisvorpalsword]

Whoever thought this up needs a wet hand slap.

[@JohnDoe-if2uo]

Would be great if they tuned THE FUCKING INSTRUMENTS!!1!

[@charlesr.wallace5597]

Wasp = wa state patrol

[@negtype13]

Love...LOVE the Original However, I don't think THIS worked at all. Shame.

[@camo4970]

The way they did the bends is not the best

[@raq429]

wtf is going on

[@darcybrooker]

Potentially great, mixed very very badly

[@Alexdelarge1975]

Terrible rendition. What a shame of such a beautiful song

[@CXNXB]

Everyone wants to criticize what?

[@Axelovskji]

Yea this doesnt really work, sad to say but I'm disappointed

[@napukapu]

What the fuck is going on? Did they do a rehearsal even? This sounds like a cover band in their first bar gig.

[@bennymcgehee3305]

Jerry was good

[@charlesr.wallace5597]

The whale Und der waspa will be this division that will kill/ build and destroy what is not met to be und mach das was corkta porfavor

Лажовая тема... Кто лажает? Вот вопрос. ..

How could it be so horrible???

[@isaacp170]

[@kylewillis3715]

They were all out of tune

[@garygeog6550]

I thought i would love this.This is fucking terrible.
