A voice that got me through some tough times. Wherever you are Layne I hope you know how much you're still loved.

if I had to name one reason why I hate heroin, even over my own addiction years ago, I would say I hate the shit for taking this guy's life. Fucking incredible voice and person.

Thanks Layne, for helping me through my worse days. Thanks for helping me get clean. 480 days and counting. ❤️

22 years later & I'm still listening to this incredible album!

Born & raised in SeaTown, I was fortunate to see everyone from Mother Love Bone, Nirvana, PearlJam, Soundgarden, MudHoney, SuperSuckers, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Candlebox, Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains in the late 80's thru mid 90's and this show, Mad Seasons, standing just left of center balcony level. watching many different band members from different bands descend down into their own abiss and prisons, weakening physically, emotionally, and vocally, but this was a very special night and show whereas a mutual appreciation between band and audience grew as the night progressed, and you could see a light on in Layne that i hadnt seen in some earlier AIC shows. It was truly a magically time to be alive, and to witness one of Rock's all time greats taken too soon from us.Enjoy and if you are suffering and dealing with addiction or mental health, talk to someone, be proactive and know there is hope and a better way to live!

whoever found this. thank you

I LOVE LAYNE!!!! Layne sounded better live than on CD, the energy of the performing in the open air of a venue just juices him musically like nothing else... He didn't need to rehearse per se, his voice was never anything less than AMAZING! Yeah, when other people are in a band with you everything needs to be tight, but his voice was just phenomenal. No one can touch it. I want to go back to 1995...or maybe a few years earlier and watch him, Never did get to see him live. We lost so much after losing Layne. 1996 is when his long time girlfriend/fiancee Demri Died of an overdose. This was just a year before...I don't think he cared as much after she was gone. I was born thirteen years after Layne, damn did I miss out, on so many bands, but I did live to see them when they were alive at least on TV, some in concert. I wish was a little older and had the option of going to more concerts, or maybe just going to Seattle to live and join the scene. We have not had a musical talent explosion like the Seattle takeover around 88-2000 since the sixties. WILL we ever see anything like this again? Layne is irreplaceable. He had it all except every day he woke up feeling dead in a way we can't comprehend. I feel lucky to have been there to see MTV play AIC and all of the sweetness of the 1990's. What ever happened to the old MTV that really was MUSIC TELEVISION? Today it is mostly crap, gone are the glory days of REAL MUSIC VIDEOS! We need new music. The crap that these rich and gigantic record companies put out today is a poor excuse for music and is intended to be autotuned, nevermind talent or ability, just throw the "performer" at a plastic surgeon and autotune their voice, give them some prewritten songs to use and voila! A new act to drag in the dollars. Makes me sick to see "Taylor Swift" on here with millions of views from kids who have no idea what music really is. Rest in Peace Layne, WE MISS YOU! DAMN IT! WHY DID YOU LEAVE US? WE LOVE YOU FOREVER. See you one day, I hope. Can't wait to see the band in heaven. It seems to get larger every week. This year we have already lost too many, BOWIE released his last album, had a birthday, then promptly died. Then others, famous and talented, all getting older or sick and dying on us. They lived rough and too many others have died young. Hope you have found peace, Layne. I believe you have. Love, Tif

You will NEVER be forgotten Layne. You are missed so much. I hope you know how much you were appreciated n how remarkably talented you were. Your the best male vocalist EVER! R.I.P. Layne n Baker

Here we are 17 years later and Layne’s voice and story are getting me through a tough time. Your story and legacy live on, thank you for everything, Layne, you’re loved by so many! It’s crazy how I feel like 25 years of listening to AIC and Mad Season a few years later, I’m just now really understanding and listening to some of the lyrics and they’re punching me right in the gut. I hate that we lost him to such an evil thing... I like to imagine all the music we’d still be getting from him. RIP Layne. ❤️

No human being can be as flawless of a singer as Layne without some vices his happened to be drugs. The amount of pressure to nail it perfectly every time the pressure from his record label to produce to tour in withdrawal constantly must have been overwhelming the weight of having to carry such a burden everywhere he went must have pushed him into seclusion to see himself beautiful and amazing whither away into oblivion must have been horrible and frightening,embarrassing,and disappointing. Is there anything left to feel every single day that wouldn't destroy a person? I'm so sorry Layne I get it and there will never be another like you thank you for gift.

Mark Lanegan is so damn underrated. I’ve had this record since it came out and I still jam it. Such a dark album that still resonates to this day.

THIS? Was SO much fun to watch. The part where the guys start getting a little playful with the music-- it brings a sense of lightheartedness to something very profound. Lovely see Layne obviously so engaged and thriving here. I can't help thinking that if all the band members had been allowed to stick with Mad Season instead of having to go back to their contractual obligations with their bands, Layne might have been saved, after all. Thank you to whoever shared this glimpse of this amazing timein music. :-)

Layne letting his beautiful curly hair grow and voice never disappoints 🙏🏽❤

Mike , thank you for making the effort to put this band together , When it came out in 1995 I was 28 years old the similarities it echoed with my life at the time touched me in a spiritual way no other album ever did or has since , It was a sif it was written for me and me alone! Again Mike,, thank you for how ever you did it !

i love seeing staley play guitar without the vocals ..the tone is so dirty.

Layne is sorely missed, still and always. The world needed him. Even though he left too soon, he's helped so many people. RIP Layne Staley.

Music now a days just doesn't have depth like this. It's so beautiful.

Layne and Mark together had a great harmony, I mean Layne and Jerry were the best but Mark brought his own dark vocals and presence with him. Christ, I miss Layne, man.

This art came from suffering & I for one am glad we got what we got from Layne & totally understand why he wouldn't hang around & suffer another decade or two so I can hear more songs. I'm grateful for the gifts he blessed us with while he was here

Deeply saddens me that this talent is no longer on the planet... I play the shit out of this album!!! Layne was an amazing singer and artist. Miss him. Noone like him. XO RIP my dude. #heroinblows.

Who can sing every song in one take..." Staley"

I love how Layne's voice was so powerful that he barely had to open his mouth for it to be heard X X

Yea sucks drugs took LS away. Thank God we have audio/video of these Gold performances. Look forward to seeing LS on other side and drink a beer.

You watch Alice In Chains at The Moore in 1990 and watch this 5 years later, Layne is 2 completely different people. Drugs destroyed him physically but his voice never changed.

Always great to see new (to me) footage of Layne/AIC/Mad Season. Thanks very much for sharing this!

One of my most prized possessions on vinyl.

Very grateful for this contribution. I never have enough of Layne. His voice fills me with tranquility as well as the chords are so calm, though his lyrics makes you feel sadness and suffering, it's really hard to explain.

I absolutely love Mad Season and AIC - the best bands in music history because of beautiful, sweet Layne. He has such a beautiful voice filled with so much sadness, and the lyrics with guitars are so amazing. There is just something about Layne that really touched my heart so much that I created a music studio in my home and decorated the studio with pictures from this Mad Season concert at the Moore and AIC MTV Unplugged - two best concerts in music history. And Layne is so beautiful inside out. Everyone keeps saying how bad he looks during these shows, but I think he looks very beautiful. His hair is soooooo very beautiful. Just a really beautiful guy. I can't really talk about beautiful Layne in the past because he lives on through his amazing music. Also, when I found out that he is wearing gloves to cover his track marks, that made me feel even more sad. I wish someone helped this amazing, beautiful guy. Every time I watch this concert and MTV Unplugged, wanna give beautiful Layne a huge hug

Thank you. thank you. and thank you.. who ever posted this thank you, pure angel........and whomever filmed this that day when this happened...thank you and I love you.

I want my Staley and Cobain back. Music isn't the same anymore. I wish u could see yourself thru our eyes. RIP

I truly love this sooo very much!!! I get very emotional watching and listening to Layne and so sadden by the bassist too such talented guys, Barrett Martin is an awesome drummer and thanked goodness for Mike McCready putting this band together love you forever!!!! I love Layne and hoping your in peace in your heart and soul R.I.P Layne Staley and John Baker Saunders ( bass player) 😇💝🌹Thank You for sharing this awesome video 😊💓🤘✌️

Amazing vocal range @ +5:30 mins.!! Layne, you were truly epic. Even in sickness the man was a true performer in every sense of the word. AIC unplugged is more proof. Author, thanks very much for contributing this addition

Love Lane Staley rest in peace

Thank you for this, whomever you are.

The music and lyrics hit deep at home with me I'm sad that he didn't beat the addiction that took his life I have been clean from heroin for almost ten years and wouldn't never go back to it I'm thankful for what I have accomplished with awesome family and my daughter has made me see that I'm loved and needed,if you think that it's bigger than you it's not the demon has you fooled because you are stronger than it can ever be and don't let nothing convince you otherwise because you are loved and needed by people that love you and the demon blinds you of the sight of that you are better and bigger than the addiction. I respect everyone that has battled with addiction and won and recovered and for those that can't be with us today from addiction you are greatly loved and missed and you will never be forgotten

Thank you for sharing this. It's always a great honor and pleasure to watch this incredible artists and their performance. 27 years later I still listen to Above and it's still the most important record for me.

I never saw Layne live. I was a young fan in the early 90's, and loved AIC... Because of Layne's voice mostly... Layne always felt alone in a crowd. I miss you so much Layne. He felt dead inside long before he left us. I miss his presence on Earth. He made it a better place. Crying now. RIP Layne, Hope you found happiness that eluded you down here on this dirthole.

Thank you Layne for all the beautiful art you created and helping me feel that I'm not alone in my struggles I hope you are at peace Sweet soul 💙💚💛🧡

Even while in the throngs of addiction, he had so much passion in his voice. Amazing and eerie.

I think his pride got in his way from being addicted, then Demri, who he adored and lost from her addiction, that's what got the best of him!! He will Never be forgotten, his voice was amazing and those lyrics, gave me chills every time I listen to him!! RIP Layne I hope your looking down and see how much we love you!! Truly missed!!💔🙏⚘✌

Great group of talented people. Thank you for sharing.

You can see how sick he was already... Wish he would have accepted the help offered to him. RIP

By far one of the best bands of the 90's

Love the Sax and bongos. Definitely not instrumentation you see within a rock band. Mad Season could've definitely taken it far. Then again, so could Mother Love Bone and ToTD. All 3 supergroups, however, left us with 1 album each and for that I'm grateful. Any time I get to see, hear or watch Layne in any capacity makes me happy. Miss you brother!!

That one dude was in the screaming trees. It's cool how all these Seattle bands played together.

Love that guys drum set up. Has an enchanting sound.

Awesome!! My favorite part is when Layne starts up "I don't know anything" RIP buddy!!

At the end when they were talking off camera was as real as it gets. I have been clean for 8 years after 5 rehabs. It’s a shame that Layne didn’t get the help he needed, but we have the music as they say.

Thank you for uploading this priceless treasure!! I love it!! We miss you Layne Thomas Staley

KZfaq needs to get off their ass and let all the coverage live be brought back live!!!!!!!! but thanks so much thanks for this

Thank goodness someone recorded this!! Layne was amazing & truly missed by so many of us! It was like he was signing just for you to you!! Mike ass kicking guitar player!! #MadSeason forever

Thank You So Much For Sharing This! Absolutely Awesome

I was at the show in 95 at the Moore. 14 yrs old but remember it like yesterday, so awesome!!

This is so beautiful thanks for sharing.

Saw this tour. Saw Alice last summer. Time hurts but they were awesome. RIP Lane

The voice of an Angel! God Layne if you only knew how much you've helped me through hard times, whether it was with AIC or Mad Season you touched my soul unlike any other vocalist! Thank you for all of the amazing music you made... I hope you are resting easy brother... and just know that its not only me you've helped but countless other. See you on the other side when its my time!

This is awesome!! Thank you guys!! Layne❤️

I feel so lucky to grow up listening to these guys & all the music of the 90s!!! Watched the 91 AMA on YT the other day & noticed a comment saying how versatile everything was, black & white artists & music intertwining with one another seem to blow the minds of younger kids today!!! Makes me so sad, kids today are surprised when people sound good live, sing songs with meaning & actually play real instruments!!! There's a very real reason why Layne, Kurt, Chris & many others are missed so much.... They take a piece of our youth, innocence & future could of beens when they go!!!! I wonder how different the world would be if they were here today🤔 RIP LAYNE💔 u truly are missed more than u will ever know 😢

Wow this should have been included in the Mad Season Above Deluxe package. Thank you for sharing.

Looong goone dayy! So fresh song, every single time I listnen to

What a gem. Thanks for getting this out there. I love duo with Lanegan - haunting...these lyrics are taped over my monitor with mic ready at all times to sing along ... oh babe, come on down.

No words to say! I´m almost crying...

This is the best ever!

Sweet Layne, i love to see you playing guitar. i wish we could've met but i was born in 1994 so i was just a baby from Spain... at least i have your music to help me go through life. i miss you. X

una bestia ese layne staley un verdadero dios entre los vocalistas del rock, que manera de resolver las notas, tiene una voz de rock and roll absolutamente natural

best supergroup of the 90s by far

This is effing amazing, Thanks for this.

Heroin is your best friend and your worst enemy all wrapped up in one.

RiP Baker and Layne 🙏🏼

Must have been very uncomfortable to play the guitar wearing gloves, but beautiful Layne plays the guitar so well. So much incredible talent the guy has!

I love seeing Layne playing guitar!

Thank you very much, person.

This is some dope footage . Damn I love to see Layne hanging on that mic stand

I was a baby when layne died but now that I’m a grown man I gotta tell ya I miss this guy and wish I could’ve experienced his awesomeness first hand

Love❤! Thanks for this .

wow RIP Layne

Super band I discover it this year, im 36! cant believe I was missing this!!

I have the "live," commercial release on VHS. When I got it the Mad Season LP had been out for a couple of months. I must have watched that concert 10-12 times the first day. It's that good. I watch this now and look at the men so full of life and promise. At least 2 of them have since died from their addictions.

this is awesome to see

there is just something about a middle aged man playing a stand up bass that just does it for me. RIP you beautiful man!

I wish Mike could have gotten through to Layne to show that you can come out of it and leave it behind.

lane and mark duet. there's no possible way you can slice this wrong.

I really enjoy watching the creative process as it's refining. Great talent, elements you wouldn't think would work but do. Thanks for the upload AIC Fans. :>)

Layne gave his all even in rehearsals... He's incredible in every way. I LOVE Mark Lanegan too

Did anyone realize how tuned into all music they really were???? The sax rocks ass!!!!

thanks for video

I have the Mad Season record! Tower Records was going out of business in 1996…It was clearanced for like $6 or so. I still have the receipt too…Somewhere…. I ❤️ and really miss Layne Staley. Always will have a place in my heart….

ur winning if u have mcready on guitar ....

No one even sounds like him, it's always the great singers who leave early, just look at his hands r. I. P staley

And at the end of the video is where the heart is. ....Thx t poster. MOre Thx to filmer, that long time ago.

"I don't know anything" Holy Shit!

So much talent in one band! This is great music....put it out now in 2019,it would still hold up as some if the best little known bands ever!

Sick Upload Baaammm

This is all I want to watch forever.

fantastic!!

Im sitting in my car in front of the moore theater right now lol

The best album ever made , Above is everything to me ..
