    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.

    ..I think Alice fans felt a real connect w Layne..., protective of him in a way. His strong, savage vocals were a striking contrast to his fragile appearance & childlike sense of humour. He was SO MUCH MORE than his disease. He was an artist, a painter...a friend, a brother,....he was a son and an Uncle too!....And for many years he has been & will continue to be, a source of inspiration for those of us who knew him thru his music...
    We MISS YOU LAYNE.😢🙏🏼❤️

    Legit the best setlist they've ever played at this point. Nutshell, A Little Bitter, Dirt, Hate to Feel, Sickman, What the Hell Have I and Rotten Apple. I would sell an organ to hear a set like this live. The band does sound a bit tired here but they'd been touring almost non-stop since Facelift. Otherwise I truly appreciate that a recording of this exists.

Like Layne is very erratic here and the band is sometimes off-tempo. It's not a bad performance by any stretch, just not as tight as the performances they had just a year to a few months before this.

    Whatever drug Layne did before getting on stage allowed him to feel very comfortable up there. He's singing completely different then his usual style. The way he is yelling and expressing the songs coulda been a whole new hit in maybe a different genre if it was planned out. I'm so glad I got to see and hear this different style coming out of him. He's definitely high on ecstasy or something else similar. Its definitely not just his heroin habit making him act like that. He's like rollin or something. Some of you so called fans need to be a little more open minded when saying he did a terrible job. If the songs sound different then usual, that doesn't mean he did a bad job up there. He's just in a completely different zone expressing songs exactly how he feels at the moment. This is one of my favorite shows that I've seen on here now.

      During the Facelift recording sessions Layne sang Bleed the Freak as a Jazz number and Love Hate Love is this whacked out slow-dubbed thing. LOL
      If Layne wants to sing while high on Ecstasy that was fine (I think Jerry took the same thing Layne did for this concert.)
      Layne Staley's vocal range can run rings around any other grunge singer (including Chris Cornell) in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals.
      As much as I think Layne sang better than Chris Cornell. Chris Cornell said that Layne sang like an angry angel. Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.

    To be honest, I think this might be one of my fav performances I've seen of AiC. Layne is so screwed up, yet he still gave it his all. Rooster and Rotten Apple were amazing...and it feels like Layne nailed the second half of the show. This particular show seemed to show a really vulnerable side to Layne and the lyrics seemed to come to life when you see him struggling like that on stage. He still did a kick ass job on vocals too!

      The show must go on! I would think that’s still true today for most acts? AIC puts on a solid show. Some bands can go on after the original lead singer leaves. They have everyone else, so they have no problem performing. Similar to Static-X without Wayne and apparently Linkin Park without Chester is coming again with new music and obvious tour, continuation of LP career. It’s all over the place. Killswitch, Dance Gavin Dance, Northlane, Underoath, Slaves, and bigger acts like Slipknot, Blink-182. It’s everywhere.

    Messed up a bit too much or not, I love this concert. Layne was still very much Layne, and I found it great. If you can't handle a crazy concert, you have no business watching rock. Sorry, that's just how I feel. I miss Layne, I wish he could have kicked it, but I appreciate every single concert and moment because there are not as many as there should be. Miss this guy everyday. He made me laugh during this concert, and I don't see anywhere in this concert that people are disliking it. The audio isn't good so how would anyone know the true reaction. You would have had to be there to truly know. It sounds great, the set list is awesome, and I think the crowd digs it. I know I will forever love this and all his performances. And, if anytime to get crazy, Why not Rotterdam?

      approachable. If he was already drunk (or stoned) I can't really remember. I think he wasn't completely because the conversation was rather good. On stage he wasn't completely "clean", that's for sure. But that's obvious, that was his trademark. It's so sad he went too soon.

      rachael simmons thank you! So friggin’ glad i come across your comment on here. Get so sick and tired of reading 1 after the other going on and on w/why it is he sunk into such a deep stage of depression to where he didnt see anyway whatsoever of being able to ‘climb’ his way out of it. Demri Parrott was his whatcha you call I guess not really his ‘rock’ but more like his whole solid foundation that his life had pretty much built & rested upon. Espcly since she too was also an addict to heroin. Even though it doesnt really sound too good to most when saying it since the consequences ended up becoming what they were in that situation, it was great for him during that time w/her being just like him. Not only was it someone that he was finally able to find true love with but his comfort level also finally became relaxing. Thats b’cos she was someone that wouldnt pass judgment on him, making him feel guilty for the nasty habit(s) that he sadly chose to keep doing more n more of thruout the yrs. What hurts more than anything to diehard fans such as myself is that once she died from bacterial infection she reportedly gained from one or more needles she had used supposedly from time to time... it hurts that (according to those closest to him who had only seen him maybe at the most once or twice within the yrs that followed her passing) that he was making it known w/out even saying anything of that direction that his time was coming to a close & nothing was going to stop it from happening. Isolating himself in his upper floor condo/apt. or whatever, refusing to answer intercom/buzzer to just about every1 but his dealer for months & months on end. Staying high non-friggin’ stop doing nothing but playing video games day in/day out. This was at least according to the few or so ones who were actually lucky enough to visit & talk w/him briefly within those last few yrs of his life. In the end, its just that 1 cant help but to wonder what other great material did we all miss out on had he not had to go n live thru these such dark times of his shortened life. Still to this day, the days of Layne are sadly missed!

    Imagine being a Rockstar. Singing the same songs every night. It would get a little boring making it sound "just like the record, CD or whatever." Add some really good drugs and a relapse and you get this tornado of energy that needs to be released. For an artist sometimes the most creative thing you can do and a masterpiece unfolds. Sometimes it's a train wreck. I'm thinking this was a little of both. Regardless I love it! Layne was and still is the greatest lead singer of all time. For God's sake Jerry and Sean put out a legit documentary.

    Heroin addicts hate touring overseas because they have trouble getting the drug and they go into withdrawal. So, they drink or take any other drugs to take the edge off the withdrawal.

    Watching this makes me incredibly sad. I don't know how any hardcore AIC fan can think this is a good concert. You should be well aware of what Layne is capable of. Yes, even at his worst his vocals were always more than decent but his bizarre behavior overshadows his talent here. The obvious fact that he is higher than a kite, looks like he wants to come out of his own skin, and acting like someone who has an epic case of ADD is disturbing. He doesn't even look like he is enjoying himself. I know at this point he was already a long time addict, but watching this I see the end. At the age of 26. RIP Layne.

      I am not sure if the exact date, but this has to be one of the last shows on European tour after Lallapalooza 93.
      Understandably the band had probably seen about enough of their good friend behaving badly.
      A lot of people give JC shit, which is absolutely foolishness iMO, yes they all had issues, but addiction to Opiates is a special kind of hell on the addict and equally so on those who care.
      More forbidding than songs written by Layne is the quote he made after Kurt Cobain died, talked about how he became a shell of himself and could hardly get out a hello.

      Kevin Coady totally get what you're saying. It just heartbreaking seeing him like that. Spent the video wishing someone would run on stage, give him a hug and look after him. Bless him ❤

      Steph Tofil I completely agree, the promise of hoping things will get better usually lasts longer than it should.
      Guess it took something like this for everyone to say enough, but he didn’t take to the hugs I guess.
      Have to believe people tried, because the thought of anyone leaving this world the way he did if he truly wanted to live is agonizing.
