The band sounds so damn good. Layne sounds perfect. There isn't a single phone being stared at out there with all those people sitting on the grass, nobody holding phones up in the crowd recording the show instead of watching. What a great time to be alive. Glad I got to live it.
Layne Staley just seemed like a genuinely good soul. This guy didn't get an inkling of the coverage & recognition that Cobain got when he passed, and he was just as important. And a better vocalist/lyricist/frontman as well. What a band. A shame he's not around anymore.
I wrote Laynes mom Nancy decade ago, she helped me get off drugs(well more than just that) just through pages and pages of letters. We became pen pals. Every now and then I'll send her an email and she will reply. She's super busy now but just love and warmth. Never met Layne but I feel as though I did through his mother. A very kind woman, one that I believe Layne got those qualities from.
@@giuliana2610 ... Ahhh-Chaaa lol, I see what you're doing there... Ain't nobody here going to tell you what it means. You already know. And if you don't, maybe you should figure it out on your own hehe
Probably because it was extra important for those vocals to sound crisp, or because it had both really quiet and really loud parts, both vocally and instrument wise! ☺👌
Layne >>>> Kurt by a 100 miles. I could NEVER get into Nirvanas music, AiC I'll put them into my rotation for weeks at a time ❤️ There is NOTHING like their sound, and there won't be again
Soft, easy going, gentle soul.. even shy.... and a BEAST on the mic... SO crazy how Layne could switch... Everyone misses you dude. Sorry for your sufferings and hope you're in a better place.
He was such a sweet and nice guy... You can really tell even by looking at his face, he had very soft features and a friendly and kind demeanor. And he does look a little shy during that m&g, so cute❤
Oh Layne, if only you could’ve seen what would be. AIC still touring in 2023. Your music has stood the test of time, you are admired still, maybe more than ever. Never forget
Before heroin stole Layne's soul....he was actually kinda happy. Watching this in 2024 is wild. I was only eight years old in 91'. I really got into AIC when I was about 12 and they became one of my favorites. RIP Layne and Mike. They seemed like they were good dudes. One band I wish I got to see live. Hard to believe this was almost 33 years ago. Whoever uploaded this footage, thanks. This is gold.
Layne and Mike seemed like really cool dudes. Gentle souls. I wish they were still here listening to music and inspiring the next generation of musicians
I know it's the first day of 2024 but I'm pretty sure this will definitely be the highlight of the year. I'm so grateful you shared it. The men and music of AiC are the G.O.A.T.! Their humility, humor, and emotional depth is unparalleled. Thank you again for sharing and happy new year!
I love the Chevy Chase movie references from Layne and Mike. "Love your body Larry" from Fletch and "He eats like a horse and whistles like a bird" from Vacation".......frikkin awesome!.......and the added Caddyshack reference "I got a free bowl of soup with this hat"...LMFAO
He seemed like a really sweet guy, humble, down to earth. No rock star ego. With a voice like his he could have easily had a huge ego, and rightfully so. RIP.
2 of my Overall favorite Bands. I'm an Old Dude, but I'm an Old dude (58), that still chases home boys down on Fugitive Recoveries, and will beat that ass if they want to fight back too. I saw VH 4 times during the Roth years, and Once in the 5150 Tour. There were SO MANY hot chicks at those early VH Concerts too. Met all the Alice in Chains guys exactly One year later. Nashville. My Girlfriend was Co owner of a Company that supplied ALL the Emergency Medical Supplies and People at events at Starwood and Another place in town. They had to have several Ambulances, EMS folks, and she supplied 2 different MD's as well. One was a Emergency Room D.O., and the other was an Orthopedic Dr. Met all the AIC guys a year later, as well as Shannon Hoon. I hold the time I spent with Shannon close to my heart. He was a great guy.
i can’t imagine finding something like this in an estate sale….. so insane. makes me appreciate it so much more because it could have been buried forever!
He was such a sweet kid. Funny how perception changes once we live life and understand the nuances fit within peoples’s personalities. As a kid I thought Layne was this dark scary dude. I think Rooster, Angry Chair, Would?, Them Bones gave Layne a visual persona that did not mesh with who he actually was. I guess that just shows how creative he, AIC and their team was.
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❤️
I cant get over how happy and optimistic and easygoing everyone seemed. The energy throughout is as if anything is possible from this point forward. I wish so badly that things could have taken a different course. I wish they had been able to fulfill their potential. I wish the good times could have lasted longer than they did. They deserved so much better. 😔
Just when I thought my life couldn't get any more beautiful when you shared the two previous Layne/AIC videos, you share something this special and precious - the soundcheck footage, the behind-the scenes footage, the tour bus footage especially, is such a treasure reminding me just how much I desperately miss and deeply love both Layne and Mike...watching the sweet, beautiful creature that is Layne being himself, goofing around, smiling and being healthy - I couldn't imagine a more wonderful way of starting 2024!! And over an hour long! Needless to say, my heart skips a beat each and every time you share a new AIC video with us! The overwhelming happiness and the most profound gratitude I feel cannot be put into words - thank you for everything you do, we appreciate it more than you'll ever know! Happy new year, Copperpot - you certainly (already!) made mine ❤️
Wow. Great video of a time long gone. But not forgotten. Also just realised Mike is left handed when he was signing the autographs. But plays a right hand bass.
To me, this beautiful timeline of history is amazing.. Alice in chains were the best band on the planet and they never realized how good they were , the records they made stand the test of time ..R.iP mike n Layne 🙌🏻
I can only imagine the emotions they were going through, having the opportunity to tour with a band they idolized! This is the best set of videos I've seen and really enjoy being able to see the experience they had on their tours. These were Incredible times for them, so young and talented and Mike was his typical charming self. They looked so great on stage and were such goofs off! Love them so and miss Layne and Mike so very much! When Layne passed, I felt like I lost a friend because I was so close to their music growing up. He was so magnetic and beautiful. He was the coolest, most stylish, obviously sensitive and sincere person and the absolute GOAT of all time. AIC will always have my heart! ❤
Mike Star and Layne Staley smiling together and driving around in a golf-cart as Sammy Hagar blasts on stage in the distance: That’s truly timeless material right there…
An estate sale find?! This was so close to being lost forever! The stuff you have is great, it needs archived! The video of them playing here is maybe the best from that era I've seen. I hope there's more where this came from! So cool to see them just going about their business and then some.
The drum check is annoying AF, and isn't necessary to beat them that long, literally 20 mins just to adjust each drum mic dynamics is way too long. But the estate sale thing is interesting, and I wish we had a more detailed background
@@shable1436Soundcheck is not only adjusting "dynamics" there is EQ, gate and lot of different things to do. Soundchecking drums takes most of the soundcheck time...
@@zombiana really? Depends on how much importance you place on getting the drum sound just right. They didn’t have ProTools fixing everything back then.
This is just chillingly cool. I miss Layne and Mike everyday. Layne's voices is on point. Mike and his thundering bass is AMAZING! I would have gave anything to have him teach me Bass. Watching Jerry and Sean watch Eddie soundcheck is priceless. Like little kids. Mike and Layne seemed like the best of friends and they both seemed not like Rockstars but genuinely good down to earth guys anyone could be friends with. RIP LSMS!
1-hour video with Alice in Chains is the best way to start the New year. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for every treasure you are posting for us. Happy New Year to you and all the AIC fans around the world 🤘🏻❤
🤯 @32:20 The Love, Hate, Love rehearsal! Layne as always effortlessly pleasing the ears with every note! Such a killer bass and guitar sound too! Priceless footage here! Magnificent! 👌
Saw Alice open for Extreme on Oct 6, 1990 at Hammerjacks (RIP) in Baltimore, when I met Jerry years later, he told me that was their first East coast tour ... I just recall Layne being the most powerfully intensely charismatic lead vocalist I'd ever seen. It's both sad and wonderful to see how well both he and Mike are in these amazing vids. Sad to think Layne, Mike, and Eddie are long gone now 😪😪😪
Saw them on them 5 days after this. One of the craziest days of my life. To me they were the best band to see live. Crazy to think how long ago that was. Just lost one of my best friends ever days before this show. I know he was there with us that night. Anyone else see AIC at Blossom that night?
Double shot of Alice, like one of the users said last year! Thank you very much for what you're doing. Being able to see new Alice in Chains footage in 2024 feels really special. Happy New Year!
OH my god just watched the whole thing!!!! I'm beside myself, alt copperpot whoever you are thank you so very much!!!!!!! This is one of the longest, excellent quality aic interviews I have ever encounter...... This is gold!!!!! Last year we were blessed with 96 and 94 footage, now this.... I'm truly overwhelmed!!!!! What a treat😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊all the guys so good, Mike Starr so good and talented and Layne he is just stunning. 😊😊😊😊😊Love this guy's so much!!! Jerry and Sean !!! Wohooooooo
Some people consider finding "gold" as their greatest treasure find... Thank you to whoever released this video...I just found my treasure and I get to watch it over and over. THANK YOU 2024 off to a good start!
Thank you so much for uploading. This is such a gift to us fans! Really cool and kind of a mindfuck to see Mike and Layne in such a casual setting for a long period of time. Also, I noticed Layne is wearing those star shorts him and Demri shared!
Who knew Star was actually once coherent? I always thought he was the wasted goofball idiot shown on celebrity rehab who couldn't put a sentence together
i think it's funny that layne says they weren't grunge but they're probably one of the best and most influential bands of the grunge era. really goes to show that you can aim for a certain sound and say what you want to be, but the fans will label you what you truly are.
Wow I was 25 when this was filmed it brung me back to that feeling of life before cell phones and social media. People on the lawn enjoying the music and no cell phones. To have grown up in the 70s, 80s and 90s could never be explained you’d actually have to experience the freedom. Layne looks so good here 🫶 the band rocked it! I miss the long hair rock band days ✌️ Whoever uploaded this thank you!
I'm glad Layne said it. AiC is not grunge. Picturing him press everyone's clothes like a mom is funny yet wholesome. That interviewer is sexy too. Is that Tabitha Soren? Or however you spell it
They were all doing coke for a few years by this time, but after this tour it was balls to the wall. But point taken, they still looked young and relatively healthy.
VH soundchecking in the background basically guarantees that I'll hear nothing else and that footage starting at 38:12 of Jerry and Sean watching the GOAT gives me chills. 1991 was one of the best years ever.
We know their talent is practically unmatched, but also...damn, Layne and Jerry were at the pinnacle of their hotness. Had to say it, can't be avoided. 😂❤
Whoever runs this account is doing all of us AIC nerds a gigantic favor
100 %❤

This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciation!!!
Underrated comment
Man, this makes me homesick for a place that no longer exists.
amen
Couldn't have said it any better.
Feeling that way more with every passing day brotha!
Yeah and will never exist again. Makes me so sad
Ok the bravery
When the soundcheck from 1991 is better than most bands today...
💯
Music was better in 1991.
@@SombraPiloto AND these guys were outstanding even by those better standards lol 🙂
I can't listen to most of the music nowadays. There's a few good bands kicking around but yeah not the same
And better than the band they were opening for, hahaha.
The band sounds so damn good. Layne sounds perfect. There isn't a single phone being stared at out there with all those people sitting on the grass, nobody holding phones up in the crowd recording the show instead of watching. What a great time to be alive. Glad I got to live it.
Lucky. I was born in 95 lol
🤘
All we need is that kind of spirit. Rock ‘n Roll it is not about a flash light. It’s your soul screaming.
Loved those days 🎶🎶🎸🎸❤️❤️
there wasnt phones then. just bag phones lol
Layne Staley just seemed like a genuinely good soul. This guy didn't get an inkling of the coverage & recognition that Cobain got when he passed, and he was just as important. And a better vocalist/lyricist/frontman as well. What a band. A shame he's not around anymore.
He seemed like a genuine good guy. Kurt was really pretentious
Well said and very true, thanx
Exactly, I wish he knew how loved and remembered he is to this day 😢
@@ryansohlich3589 Yea, Kurt was a good musician but he was also really pretentious and always had this "im not like other people" attitude.

What's NWA?
@@giuliana2610 ... Ahhh-Chaaa lol, I see what you're doing there... Ain't nobody here going to tell you what it means. You already know. And if you don't, maybe you should figure it out on your own hehe
The fact that he is SOUNDCHECKING with Love Hate Love is just insane
Yea, for him it was THAT easy 😮
To make a last practice before the show.
Was thinking the same thing. I would blow out my voice on that song before the concert even began. Layne the GOAT just warms up on it.
Probably because it was extra important for those vocals to sound crisp, or because it had both really quiet and really loud parts, both vocally and instrument wise! ☺👌

Agreed. The whole world was more chill. @@ThornBoyz2207
Peace be with YOU.
Layne and Mike were so funny together how they fed off each other’s humor. God it’s so sad they’re gone
Kinda haunting when they laid in the bunk bed and said it feels like a coffin 😮💨
They were best friends
@@Stavo888 Straight up chilling.
Starr's tone sounds like gritty thunder... love it.
RIP Mike
RIP Layne
Jerry is completely star struck seeing Eddie warm up on sound check and became great friends.
Yes, Eddie even gave Jerry one of his guitars
King Edward
Great days......Van Halen w/ Alice In Chains!!!!!! Awesome!
Its so cute
I'm pretty sure Jerry's playing was inspired by Eddie's a lot. You can def hear it with some of the techniques he does
Back when Layne was happy.
Unbelievable that Eddie Van Halen is playing live in the background just unreal! I miss you Lane I'm sorry you were hurting so bad
Wow what a gem. To think this has been hidden away for so long! Thank you for sharing.
Layne Staley wearing an NWA hat might just be the coolest thing ever.
Got to see these legends in '93, the only time they came to Australia with Layne. I'll never forget.
I didn't see you there.
ditto😜🤟 @@The_Crow78.
Where in Australia did they tour?
what a voice layne had man. unreal.

Same!! Made my weekend! Sure miss those days!❤
Same here lol i'm a big AIC fan and i love seeing this new footage of Layne. 🔥🔥 He was the best ever
I was in a band with Jerry in the Dallas TX area in 1985 and this was pure Gold. HAPPY 2024
I love the Chevy Chase movie references from Layne and Mike. "Love your body Larry" from Fletch and "He eats like a horse and whistles like a bird" from Vacation".......frikkin awesome!.......and the added Caddyshack reference "I got a free bowl of soup with this hat"...LMFAO

And tbe Titian reference from Dan Ackroid from the original SNL. TITIAN... T I T ian. Seriously.
wild how healthy and slim fit everyone was back then. they also seem very down to earth and chill.
Best I’ve ever heard them.
Mike’s bass tone is freaking massive.
Not to mention his energy level on stage... He really got down to business come showtime.
He seemed like a really sweet guy, humble, down to earth. No rock star ego. With a voice like his he could have easily had a huge ego, and rightfully so. RIP.
Always was paws down best vocalist ever, no singer worked the mic 🎤 or leaned backward chest singing like Layne lol iove the wedding band spoof 😂
Alice in Chains goes faaaar beyond just a grunge band.

In mikes yearbook in 8th grade his goal in life was to tour with Van Halen . God bless him
Summer 1991. I was 21, they were what? 24, 25? Fame was just hitting them. What a time to be alive.
Layne was born August 22, 1967 so I believe he was 23 during the tour.

Thank you to whoever released this video...I just found my treasure and I get to watch it over and over. THANK YOU 2024 off to a good start!
Right with ya
The look on Jerry's face around 38:20 as her is sitting there watching Eddie jam is priceless!
Van Halen playing live in the background. Love both groups! Kick ass footage thanks!
Holy smokes these guys rocked hard AF! Jerry Cantrell sounds absolutely incredible!
I love this kind of footage of bands. Jerry and Sean watching VH soundcheck was really cool!
I saw AIC 3 times with Layne!
Incredible voice……………. I can never forget !
How lucky you are!!!!
Thank you so much for uploading. This is such a gift to us fans! Really cool and kind of a mindfuck to see Mike and Layne in such a casual setting for a long period of time. Also, I noticed Layne is wearing those star shorts him and Demri shared!
I'm a big mike fan and hearing him taking about his new bass and just enjoying jamming with his buds makes my day
Who knew Star was actually once coherent? I always thought he was the wasted goofball idiot shown on celebrity rehab who couldn't put a sentence together
Samee❤
This is too awesome. My favorite band of all time. I'm so nostalgic about the 90's and seeing this old footage is so cool. Never seen this before.
i think it's funny that layne says they weren't grunge but they're probably one of the best and most influential bands of the grunge era. really goes to show that you can aim for a certain sound and say what you want to be, but the fans will label you what you truly are.
Wow I was 25 when this was filmed it brung me back to that feeling of life before cell phones and social media.
People on the lawn enjoying the music and no cell phones.
To have grown up in the 70s, 80s and 90s could never be explained you’d actually have to experience the freedom.
Layne looks so good here 🫶 the band rocked it!
I miss the long hair rock band days ✌️
Whoever uploaded this thank you!
Damn they sound good! I was 22 back during this tour. What a time to be a music fan! The early-mid 90s were peak Alt music goodness!
Layne's vocie is pristine in these shots. So good to hear!
I'm glad Layne said it. AiC is not grunge. Picturing him press everyone's clothes like a mom is funny yet wholesome. That interviewer is sexy too. Is that Tabitha Soren? Or however you spell it
Yeah she was fine..definitely vibin with our guys too
@@AndrewJames91
She still looks good nowdays
Like she never aged at all just
Tabitha ❤❤!!
I was thinkin the same thing about the interviewer!
Mike and Layne right there in they're prime, Thanx for posting this, great memories from this time
I love how Van Halen is casually performing a live show in the background. RIP Eddie.
It’s nice to see Lane here before he was swallowed by addiction. I loved his work before he got lost. Thanks for the great music
It's Layne
They were all doing coke for a few years by this time, but after this tour it was balls to the wall. But point taken, they still looked young and relatively healthy.
Man I've always wanted to experience this interview
This is so fucking cool
VH soundchecking in the background basically guarantees that I'll hear nothing else and that footage starting at 38:12 of Jerry and Sean watching the GOAT gives me chills. 1991 was one of the best years ever.
I’m speechless right now!!
Perfect way to ring in the new year!! Thank you so much!! You’re the best!! ❣️
Ohhh my goodness I’m dying thank you for this ❤ That’s so awesome and special… Layne and Mike you are so loved and missed… 😢❤
Shirtless with no tracks. If he could’ve stayed this healthy he might still be with us.
Love the interview with AIC with Van Halen performing in the background 🥰💕
He wanted to be a rock star in high school, and he became one.
Holy shit this is some of the best aic content i have ever seen
We know their talent is practically unmatched, but also...damn, Layne and Jerry were at the pinnacle of their hotness. Had to say it, can't be avoided. 😂❤
Wow. Whenever new footage of AIC pops up especially with Layne and Mike it’s special. I love and miss those guys. They were good dudes.
They seem like cool dudes to hang out with and have a few beers.
Alice In Chains forever!
Happy new year to everyone. May this year be better than the years before!!! God bless yall
