Saw AIC and Pearl Jam in the same night. Unfortunately sound garden wasn’t there. With that said……ice cube and beastie boys were there. And………I left early of the closer, beastie boys, Because I was spent……12 hours of sun and debauchery! Had to beat the parking lot!
There were a lot of badass combos back then. Alice & Chains, Stone Temple Pilot's, PRIMUS, Smashing pumpkins, NiN, Limp Bizkit, POWERMAN 5000, TOOL Pantera, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, Rage Against the Machine who NEVER came to Kansas City... I remember sitting around with friends and trying to imagine THE BEST line-up for a show...most combos we knew would NEVER happen until 1 day they did. PANTERA & WHITE ZOMBIE AT MEMORIAL HALL in KCK. PRIMUS KNOWS Kansas City loves them, they keep returning & its awesome. GLASS ANIMALS are learning this too.
If there is ONE thing I am most thankful for about TH-cam, it is that we get so much wonderful stuff like this from bands like Alice In Chains. Time capsules that will last forever
You have to back it up 'cause corpos and services do go away. But it does give us unprecedented opportunity to have a library of alexandria in the back pocket on few SD cards. Cheers.
the moment you realize you have faithfully discovered in Granpa's attic, dozens of films/videos you have never seen from the 90's. It's like a time capsule you were actually inside but now you have broken through to "Say Hello to Heaven" - Temple of the Dog 1990
Michael Bolten?...😂😂😂 You know what all kidding aside he's in a totally different genre but I would love to hear him sing Temple of the Dog with Eddie Vedder. I would just roll over and fall off my chair if I could actually see those two sing. I know it sounds like a joke but who the hell else could hit Chris Cornell notes other than Michael Bolton! Just imagine Eddie Vedder singing "I'm going hungry......" and then Michael Bolton comes in; :I'm going hungry....YEAHHHHHH!"😅 Would be so awesome
God bless jerry cantrell for recognizing the greatness in Layne's voice and kept asking him about joining the band until he finally agreed. It is tragic how most of these amazing musicians and singers met their untimely end but the few years that they performed is one of the greatest things to have ever happened in music history
I don’t know too many people who have spent a month in the hospital and a month in a nursing home and coming home my daughter had my big picture of Chris Cornell and my picture of Layne Staley hanging on my wall for me! I have awesome kids
This is f....uking solid gold. I moved fron Northern California to Seattle in 1990 and ran head first into this. I was 21 and didn't have any clue about the beautiful music and experiences I would have. Thank you Seattle.
Fuck people. Here in South Africa we had no chance to see these EPIC bands. This is so raw and I feel like I am there. This boomer loves TH-cam and you awesome guys who share this stuff.Thank you.
It’s crazy he was only 22. Now a days 22 is a kid. I grew up in the ‘90’s we were very much adults at 20 and treated as such. It’s crazy how different it is now. I wish he would of been healthy longer so he could of put out more. My all time favorite singer. 💛🤘🏻
seen this in 90, in Canada, they opened for Van Halen, best concert i have ever seen. came in a huge Van Halen fan, came out a life long AIC fan. RIP Layne!!.
I was at this show... Living in Seattle and graduating high school in 1993... we invented "grunge". I saw Nirvana, Mud Honey, the Melvins, and the Dwarves all play one show infront of about 100 people at the Washington Party Hall for $5 at the door... No Ticketmaster ticket stub... just a hand stamp. Saw Alice in Chains for free at the amphitheater at the base of the Space Needle for free and Sweaty Nipples from Portland opened the show.
Sweatty Nipples haha. Saw them so many times. My friends were at that Nirvana Melvins show. I lived in Portland. Had not yet moved to Seattle yet. But I did see all the Seattle bands in clubs and bars before they were big. Melvins and Nirvana played together a lot.
Lol Chris Cornell and Layne are unbelievable.... Chris is just a poet too man. Really one of the finest and untouchable moments in rock history with these young men...
These live vids are such a comfort to a 20-something college kid trying to find their way in life. Thank you to Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana (though not pictured), and EVERYONE involved with the grunge / hard rock scene in Seattle and elsewhere the '90s (I think of STP, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, Failure, Hum, The Jesus Lizard, and more). You mean more than all of y'all could know. Y'all are what I return to, a musical norm that I will always know will be there. To Chris, Layne, Kurt, Andrew Wood, Mike Starr, and so many other silenced voices from vice, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ART!!! The "90s alt rock movement will always mean the most to me, and to countless other people. Thank you, thank you.
Brother, I could Not Agree More!! These bands were life changing for me and I steadily listen to this fantastic time in music! Tool is in there as well.
I often wonder if the 90s is to the younger generation is what the 70s was to us GenX. However, I feel blessed to lived through the 90s being 22 at the start. Our generations music is unmatched Alice in Chains for ever dude.
@@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy I've listened to hundreds of hours of Zeppelin. He's very good but Cornell owns him and Layne is definitely better. Freddie's probably the best in rock history imo.
I was at the 92' Lollapalooza with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and I can't tell you how magical that day was . There was a band called Lush , Ministry , Ice Cube , Tool on the side stage and The Red Hot Chili Peppers ! It seemed like another world that day...people were so happy . We were in Orlando and about 200 or more people were behind a fence and we all got together and pulled down the fence so they could get in . What a great day ! PK
Yeah, it all started out on a high note, sort of, as long as you don't count 1000 points of light dipshit in office, from one dipshit to the next dipshit then 9/11... But at least there was a glimmer of hope back then, unlike now...
I was there 👍 Almost didn't make it, as my So. Cal. driving skills did not prepare me for driving on lots of frozen roads and snow. But it was a memorable show I'll never forget, and my first time at the Moore.
I’m an 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s gal, BUT the 90’s had some freaking great music as well. Just LOVE Rock!!!!!❤❤❤. RIP to all the greats that have filled our life with the BEST MUSIC EVER. (I’ll never understand pop music 😳🥶😱.)
I'd heard the Love Hate Love on here on another video, but this quality is far better. You want to hear the only singer of that era that can compete with Cornell, and even surpass him, listen to Layne sing on Love Hate Love. It's the rock vocal performance of all time.
I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne! Layne’s mom said it best regarding his voice: it’s like Nails surrounded by marshmallows! I agree👍🏻 RIP LAYNE❤️
Layne singing Love, Hate, Love is fucking epic! I don’t know what it is but it’s 💯 perfection imo. Some bands that I’ve listened to since my teens start to wear on me. AIC never gets old. The passion, lyrics, presence…🤌.
doesnt matter how many songs of layne singing live, there is no one who can control their voice while belting out this heavy like he was able to. u see all kinds of singers get to a certain range when their voice levels raise, it was otherworldly. people talk about how he would have blown out his voice etc from the singing style but im not sure that would have been the case, when you look at his contemporaries from back then, even at that younger age they still couldn't hit anywhere close to those notes. wild to witness such a level of mastery. so many singers today have the ability to hide behind technology to fix levels.
@@byrontownsel7274 absolutely. Love Eddie! It's so sad that Chris, Scott and Layne aren't still here. I can only imagine all the masterpieces that died with them😭💔
This video is everything. Dirt gets a ton of love, as it should. Dirt is one of the greatest albums ever made in the history of history. With that said, Facelift is probably better than anything 95% of bands will ever make. Facelift- Jar Of Flies is simply perfection. That’s taking nothing away from Tripod and the Duvall era because they’re all great, but that 4-5 year span is so insanely good very few artists can even begin to touch it.
Layne's vocal performamce on Love Hate Love here and on Facelift is up there with Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury. Layne is unique though. He has the perfect melding of tenor and baritone, and seems to sing in both at the same time because his voice is such a freight train for an average size guy. Cornell is so good, and then you hear the beefy thickness of Layne's gutteral growling, plus the emotion with which he delivers vocals is off the charts. Must've been a lot to try to match that the rest of your life, but hey. People were not exaggerating about Layne and this proves it.
And Mike Starr, who I missed even before his death..god damn the pusher man. The last words heard from Lane Stayley. They had an argument , Mike was leaving and Lane said " don't go man, not like this" 💔
This recording is amazing, in how it shows the raw talent of these up and coming rock bands, not grunge. This was imperfectly recorded rock sounding just damn perfect for 1990!

@@tomaschristopherbangalter Bro, the bands that were given the "grunge" title were all massively different in sound. Even Cobain was weary of the grunge label and always knew it was bound to fail. Never mind the fact that each band sounded different, each of them changed their sound during the years. The Grunge label is as descriptive as these nifty new pronouns everyone seems to be raging about these days.

ALICE!!!! THe greatest band AT THEIR BEST!!!!-! CANTRELL STAR KINNY & LAYNE STALEY the best vocalist THIS EARTH HAS EVER KNOWN AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME!!!!! NOONE EVER DID IT BETTER !!!!!!!! All 4 MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT!!!!!!
Andrew Wood. Let's remember where this all spawned from. Let's all remember the Star Child who created this in his passing. Without his exit, we wouldn't have Pearl Jam, Temple....
Alice and Chains' performance of "Love Hate Love" was like being at a Native American Ghost dance with The Scorpions on peyote. This was such an amazing performance.
I was there and got in by donating a few cans of food. Front row center balcony. Saw AIC in August at bumpershoot then this show . Temple and mookie was o.k. then Alice comes out and blow everybody away. This was before Seattle was taken over by the Amazon, frikkin amazombies haha! Where Amazon is now is where the bands used to practice in old storage buildings. Back when Seattle was cool!
Has to be a great memory, did Mookie play first or Temple, haven’t seen anything more than little clips n say hello to heaven. Had to be epic seeing this live!
@@kevincoady5248 temple played first. I am the guy standing up on edge of the balcony at the very end , center left. It was super fun. Almost as good as sabbath in the 70's.
HOLY FK!!! I can't believe this was posted, I haven't seen this in 20+ years!!! Absolutely hauntingly beautiful, and representing that era in music so perfect. I didn't think I think I'd ever see this gain, thank you so much man! You cannot get any more pure musicianship than this!
TOTD WAS A FANTASTIC BAND !!! Was a shame that they didn't continue as a true band, and stayed just as a side-project 😔 CHRIS + LAYNE = ROCK LEGENDS ! RIP 😪
Os anos 90 nos deu muitas músicas boníssimas... No Grunge , muitas bandas maravilhosas ! Época boa... escuto e curto até hoje ! Em 1993, no Festival Hollywood Rock, aqui no Rio de Janeiro, vi Nirvana, Alice in Chains, RHCP, L7... Foi sensacional e maravilhoso ter visto estas bandas espetaculares ao vivo ! Ter assistido o gênio , a lenda Kurt Cobain tocar e cantar foi uma das maiores emoções da minha vida ! Rio de Janeiro-🇧🇷
This is mint. Saw them live in Manchester UK in about 92. Froze my bollocks off queuing outside with our kid, but one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to.
I was going to mention it a year ago. But God damn we need Bleed the Freak restored to this. Someone must know someone, let's get this done. I'm sure Gerry and co would love for more and more people to have a chance to see early AiC at their young prime.
In those days you could tell that Alice in C. where more traditional hard rock band but their singuer was in a new element... alternative music was a fresh and exiting new kind of rock

you are a priviledged man
If Layne could of made it they would still be huge. They sound awesome live. Vocals, guitar & drums sound excellent. My favorite band 🤘🏻🖤🤍♾
Love Hate Love. Unbelievable. This, in my opinion, is Layne at his peak & cannot be touched. The greatest of all time! 🎤
One of the darkest songs ever written but dam when he sang that live you can just feel his raw emotions coming thru.
Fully agree
Agree 1000% Layne will forever be in my heart😢
hell yea
He is the goat with Chris holding onto the back of his shirt. I also loved Scott Weiland
Eddie just chilling in the background next to the drums doing the backing vocals in the shadows for Temple of the Dog.
Layne was unbeatable in his peak
RIP Legends. You changed MY life and many others.

The love hate love performance was amazing
“It ain’t like that anymore.” So fucking true, they don’t make music like they used to.
A Masterpiece in time. Layne was a shooting star. 🌠
Yupp ..a super Nova for sure ..burnt out to fast though !! Miss him !!

Just great rock bands... which to me me means great live. This video is amazing!
Seattle gold! What a time to be alive, tons of great shows every week around town
beauty in this in the pain
Check out 7:25 mark with Ed singing backing vocals behind the drums - I never noticed this before, very cool.
Laye was such a gift. What a tragic loss.
ALICE!!!! THe greatest band AT THEIR BEST!!!!-! CANTRELL STAR KINNY & LAYNE STALEY the best vocalist THIS EARTH HAS EVER KNOWN AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME!!!!! NOONE EVER DID IT BETTER !!!!!!!!
All 4 MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT!!!!!!
love hate love is a masterpiece
Andrew Wood. Let's remember where this all spawned from. Let's all remember the Star Child who created this in his passing. Without his exit, we wouldn't have Pearl Jam, Temple....
Say Hello 2 Heaven is my favorite TOTD song, never seen or heard footage of it before from this show
This is one of those moments when you say "It doesn't get any better than this" and you're right
Alice and Chains' performance of "Love Hate Love" was like being at a Native American Ghost dance with The Scorpions on peyote. This was such an amazing performance.
Wow, AIC in peak form.....love this. Would have been a kick ass show to see live. Thanks for this. Chris and Layne were vocal giants from this era.
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much for uploading that video!!!
Imaging just seeing layne in his prime, with that hunger, to this day one of the best vocalists ever
A lot of great talent played the Moore Theatre. Of that great talent, the greatest was AIC.
Fing Chris!!!! A force of nature!! RIP brother!!!
There is no words to describe Layne Staley’s singing, I’m just amazed. Of course Chris Cornell is off the charts!
I was there and got in by donating a few cans of food. Front row center balcony. Saw AIC in August at bumpershoot then this show . Temple and mookie was o.k. then Alice comes out and blow everybody away. This was before Seattle was taken over by the Amazon, frikkin amazombies haha! Where Amazon is now is where the bands used to practice in old storage buildings. Back when Seattle was cool!
That's sooooo lucky!!!!
Has to be a great memory, did Mookie play first or Temple, haven’t seen anything more than little clips n say hello to heaven.
Had to be epic seeing this live!
@@kevincoady5248 temple played first. I am the guy standing up on edge of the balcony at the very end , center left. It was super fun. Almost as good as sabbath in the 70's.
Say hello to heaven.
This performance of Love Hate Love is one of the best of all time for Layne and AIC....hell for all of grunge in the 90's. Truly epic.
HOLY FK!!! I can't believe this was posted, I haven't seen this in 20+ years!!! Absolutely hauntingly beautiful, and representing that era in music so perfect. I didn't think I think I'd ever see this gain, thank you so much man! You cannot get any more pure musicianship than this!
TOTD WAS A FANTASTIC BAND !!! Was a shame that they didn't continue as a true band, and stayed just as a side-project 😔
CHRIS + LAYNE = ROCK LEGENDS ! RIP 😪
crying seeing this... I miss the 90`s music!
Os anos 90 nos deu muitas músicas boníssimas...
No Grunge , muitas bandas maravilhosas !
Época boa... escuto e curto até hoje !
Em 1993, no Festival Hollywood Rock, aqui no Rio de Janeiro, vi Nirvana, Alice in Chains, RHCP, L7...
Foi sensacional e maravilhoso ter visto estas bandas espetaculares ao vivo !
Ter assistido o gênio , a lenda Kurt Cobain tocar e cantar foi uma das maiores emoções da minha vida !
Rio de Janeiro-🇧🇷
Great vid. Wow. I wish someone would find the full Temple and Mookie sets from that night, too.
From what I understand from the description, TOTD only performed the one song, but I would love to see the full PJ set
@@julianpottermusic Temple performed Say Hello 2 Heaven and Hunger Strike, Pearl Jam did a whole set
We really need the whole show in video of that f*** awesome night
I wonder if the night Soundgarden (as Vince Whirlwind and the Nude Dragons) supported Alice In Chains in Lake City that summer was filmed or recorded.
Raw, imperfect, messy, but what voices, melodies, riffs , drums these were the times 🤘🤘🤘
talent here that will never be seen in today's times. RIP to all who we have lost !!!!
9:00 The most underrated AIC song and is one of my favorites that is raw and beautiful.
Got that old school rock going on. "Say Hello To Heaven" was a milestone in rock culture.
Honestly is kinda like a basic song. AiC overshadowed all the bands that night with only one guitarist.
This was a great find. Thanks for sharing it. Layne is incomparable.
I had no idea temple of the dog and Pearl jam played that gig!! AIC sounded incredible truly amazing set
Temple is Pearl Jam with Chris singing
This is gold who ever got to experience this is truly blessed
Man I’d give my first born to go back in time to see this live!
LOL
Hahah
This is mint. Saw them live in Manchester UK in about 92. Froze my bollocks off queuing outside with our kid, but one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to.
That night was EPIC ♥
Amazing, where has time gone. So much great music in the 90’s.
I was going to mention it a year ago. But God damn we need Bleed the Freak restored to this. Someone must know someone, let's get this done. I'm sure Gerry and co would love for more and more people to have a chance to see early AiC at their young prime.
Non ero a Seattle essendo italiana non ho visto tutte queste cose bellissime
Che voci che musicisti vedere questo video mi emoziona tantissimo
U can just feel it when u listen to it. Awesome performance baby Jerry Cantrell
Minute
In those days you could tell that Alice in C. where more traditional hard rock band but their singuer was in a new element... alternative music was a fresh and exiting new kind of rock
RIP Chris & Layne 🤘🤘🤘🤘
