Shirley Cobain, you operate a great channel. Nicely done. I just subscribed. Grunge era Seattle music saved Rock And Roll just when it needed saving. Great uploads you've provided here. Thanks.

[@tonrajkumar714]

And my fav.song!!!❤️

[@kaidengathings3096]

My favorite part is definitely where Jerry takes that shirt and just points like "Thanks man!" Love it.

[@karoonboomie2813]

JERRY IS A COOL, TRUE, PURE & REAL DUDE. HE SUPPORTED LAYNE 100% AS A LEAD VOCALIST AND HIM AS A SECOND VOCALIST. HE WROTE SONGS AND LET LAYNE SHINE, HE PUT HIS SINGING CAREER ASIDE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, YOUR A STAR NOW JERRY, LAYNE’s STAR SHINE BRIGHT BABY ~ YOUR SO VIVID

[@L0vac]

Down in a hole really got to him at the beginning, what must have went through Jerry's head not hearing Layne on the other mic... :(

[@oldskaterfromchula]

I would of been pisses

[@TheStepmonkey]

Im crying 😭😭

[@ChooseHumanityOverCruelty]

I'm sitting here watching this for the first time with tears streaming down my face......Jerry was such a damn good friend to Layne and by doing a tribute concert like he did showed just how much he loved him.

[@booognish]

I’ve been critical of Duvall but I’ve always known what he meant to Jerry and respected that. Crazy to know he’s been singing laynes parts this long.. Layne probably even heard him sing Alice In Chains stuff before, I know he went to see Jerry at least once, one of his last “public” appearances. Jerry asked him to come up on stage but he declined.. must have respected Duvall.

[@ancientlunatic8928]

Go jerry!!I know how much u love layne, this must be so hard for you..R.I.P Layne, greatest rock'n roll frontman..and last, there aint no more..:-(

[@susansoper7688]

Yesss!

[@acuro72]

It sounds like them but then it doesn’t. It doesn’t sound bad, but Down In A Hole means a lot to me. More than I can express with words. It means every feeling you got when you heard it the first time and heard Layne’s raspy voice as his heart was breaking through the track and realizing it. That can never be replicated. R.I.P. Layne Staley.

[@ThePOSM]

Kudos to you Jerry. There isn't anything harder in music then to sing or even listen to your close friends music not long from their passing. Peace to the fallen & Power to the people.

[@rumblefish9]

PintOfSam Media POSM PGC almost all of AiC's songs were written by Jerry so... its really his songs not Layne.

[@PianoGirl76]

@@rumblefish9 Actually Layne wrote almost 50% of the songs. They all made those songs unique by adding their different talents. It was a group effort.

[@Nevernothing8184]

@@rumblefish9 actually no layne wrote quite a few songs perhaps you should look it up. Jerry might of did the instrumentals but the lyrics were all layne on alot of songs.

[@sunshiney3617]

I seen AIC a couple moths ago and can say Duvall has grown a lot with his vocals since this performance. I was impressed and anyone who knows me and how I feel about AIC and just music in general can tell you it takes a lot to impress me musically, especially when it has to do with a band/music I cherish and hold close to my heart. I think every AIC fans wishes Layne was here on stage with the guys and there will never be replacing him and his talents...ever... period! But I have to say I am so thankful we still get to go see a iconic band live still that has been a huge part of our lives and many memories through the years.

[@Starnes8887]

Jerry sounding similar to Layne in Them Bones at 11:57 that made me laugh :D

[@brinkybrinkz]

Cool concert footage, great tribute. My personal favorite Layne mellow songs are Don't Follow and I Stay Away. My favorite heavy Layne songs are Love Hate Love and Dirt. Oh dam, I like them all

[@uberweiss6251]

Odd to see him only sing

[@codeman4546]

Überweiss yeah I agree

[@a3766]

lol right

[@TheStepmonkey]

It must have been so difficult for Jerry to sing Down in a Hole since it was Layne's signature song 😭😭

[@tinafisher900]

Happy bday Layne 😍 Thanks for sharing

[@chiphead777]

Loved the Degradation Trip album. Haven't listened to it in a while.

[@davidhunsinger2783]

Jerry - always looking for his counter part. BUT HE STILL DOES GOOD!

[@akemijones8430]

thanks for posting! rip Layne and Happy 50th, buddy!

[@GypsyRock]

Really cool to see jerry Bare bones without guitar just singing. This song is good. Never heard til now. No disrespect to Duvall but I can’t listen to aic without layne as singer but this is pretty decent Thanks !

[@MLCrow]

Jerry Cantrell is an awesome musician (all around). If you're not familiar with his (solo) music go listen to his albums Boggy Depot and Degradation Trip...amazing stuff.

[@foldingorbits]

i would never miss mr. cantrell perform solo.. havent, yet..

[@karenriggs4560]

Must of been so heartbroken and when William sings it must have been so hard..

[@josuellamas]

Good piece of footage.

[@jesseperez1028]

A.I.C..is 1 of my fav. All time bands & will cont. Until I'm gone...

[@talissondiego9505]

05:13 melhor intro de down in na role ao vivo uma pena que hoje em dia eles só tocam á versão acústica

[@TheStepmonkey]

Yea, i like it too

[@jormanwenblen2998]

sim, igual a versão de estudio! melhor versao

[@daniiv4325]

RIP legend

[@mrbeastie2011]

Great show! Glad he made it there that night

[@oldskaterfromchula]

Didn't realize Duvall helped out so far back

[@lovestospooge66]

I ain't no rook, they've been my fav band since I was a kid and still are but this video man gave a new prospective. Laynes voice was so gritty and so awesome but it had alot to do with the dope I feel. No not feel i know and now I understand why I appreciate will as the guy now bc it's like layne laid down the path but that path was so heavy it led him to his demise, and William's cleaner tone it's like a reminder. Like remember how awesome he was well that can only last so long and so I'm here to continue this story and finish this story and il be around to see it through.

[@maryt3995]

Sand rains down...

[@yewnguyen3942]

He really misses his friend

[@WalkeeTalkeeMan]

If layne was here and jerry not id feel the same pain....those two were one

[@rodrigomery467]

Is Robert Trujillo also on the video , this is Epic , thanks

[@booognish]

So sad

[@Paarthurnaxdova]

AIC would of done a lot better if Jerry would of taken lead singer, and NOT Will!!

[@izuha7123]

Jarry is a good singer,but he dont have the rage in his voice

[@soldaccount2022]

@@izuha7123 neither does will lol

3:13 💔❤️👍🏼

[@ronleblanc4518]

I like the way William made down in a hole his own version.

[@k0rndog93]

I never cared for DuVall's live performances, he just doesn't have it in my opinion. I really wish I could of experienced Layne's AiC live in concert, but I was only 9 years old in 2002. I only get to see videos on KZbin of concerts :/

[@michaelmuirandmyms6161]

sethinator224 I was very lucky to see AIC in the 90's. They were amazing.

[@brandon9271]

Duvall is a nice guy and very talented but I agree that he's not a good match for AIC. They needed somebody with a grittier voice. Duvall's voice is too "clean"

[@MrTechselect]

brando92711 Jerry didn't get Duvall there because he sounds like Layne or because they needed the certain voice style. He's there because he's a better songwriter and Phantom Limb is proof of that. Jerry didn't get Duvall to be another Layne, he's from a songwriting, vocal and guitar-playing perspective another Jerry. They switch between playing lead and rhythm and honestly he adds more depth to the overall sound. Layne's dead. Duvall has been friends and touring with Jerry since 2001. Longer than even Layne did. People need to move on.

[@lovestospooge66]

You never had a chance, I had the same wish the last time he performed july 3rd 1996 3 hours from where I live and I was 7 at the time, however they still are my favorite ever. And I've seen them live 4 times since 2010 cant wait for number 5 cuz Duvall may not be layne but just see it for yourself its aic.

[@MLCrow]

MrTechselect DuVall a better songwriter than Layne? What do you mean? ..then you wrote also...DuVall is from a "songwriting" perspective another Jerry? C'mon please, dude, be real. Honestly DuVall didn't contribute much from that point of view. Jerry remains BY FAR the driving AIC force...basically AIC is Jerry's band now (even more). In my opinion DuVall is a very good vocalist, a non problematic person, very professional...but he is not charismatic and his stage presence is nothing special (imo)...anyway... I still like AIC ofc.

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

yo wassup william!

[@weescone001]

What did the person in the audience do, when he said he 'didn't like to see shit like that'... ?

[@ShirleyCobain]

Someone (the security guy?) was being aggressive with the kids who were watching the show. Jerry called him out a few times during the concert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGiymoKretmUfrcm5s kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGiymoKretmUfrcm15s

[@ShirleyCobain]

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

[@sandracoll3601]

A real tragedy

[@MSA]

when another person harmonizes with Jerry and it sounds like AIC is when you realize that Jerry was the Core abd brain of the band and that he has all the right to continue it... layne is resting in peace, the rest have to keep on living

[@rumblefish9]

technically he was AiC since Jerry wrote majority of the lyrics and all the music.

[@whitesatin868]

the band wrote the music together... I don't see one guy doing it all.. sorry bro. if that were possible I believe they would of skipped AIC and started with the solo project and not have to deal with a vocalist that couldn't perform at the end of his career. I love jerry and layne they BOTH wrote for AIC.

[@Nevernothing8184]

@@rumblefish9 Actually layne wrote a damn good portion of the lyrics.

[@MLCrow]

@@Nevernothing8184 Yeah, you're right. Layne wrote (&/or co-wrote) alot (lyrics). Layne wrote ALONE (not considering the ones he co-wrote) the lyrics for about 40% of the songs...talking about AIC (Layne era) only ofc. If you have the original studio albums, EPs, compilation albums,... you can check it out by yourself. Some people wrongly think (without checking) it's almost all Jerry.

[@Nevernothing8184]

@@MLCrow jerry wrote almost all the instrumentals. But layne did write quite a bit of lyrics and the above mad season album as well as the other little projects he was in. If you want to find me on Facebook to discuss more I'll tell you the name to look for also I'm always up for an aic fan on my page lol. Im a girl btw if that matters I'm just a really big layne and Scott fan hence the name
