Alice in Chains

On December 22, 1990, Alice in Chains delivered a thrilling live performance at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, right after their early rise to fame with their debut album, "Facelift," which had been released just a few months prior, in August 1990. This album laid the groundwork for the Seattle grunge movement and featured iconic tracks like "Man in the Box." At this point in their career, the band was fresh off a tour with Iggy Pop, which undoubtedly added to their exposure and energy as they performed in front of a local crowd. The raw intensity captured in this live recording showcases their signature sound and vocal chemistry between Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, a duo that would become legendary over the years. This performance highlights not just their musical talent, but also the sense of community surrounding the Seattle music scene during this era.
