Alice in Chains

On November 30, 1989, Alice in Chains delivered a raw and electrifying performance of 'Man in the Box' at the Moore Theater in Seattle, a pivotal moment in their early career. This gig came shortly after they released their debut album, 'Facelift,' which dropped just a few months earlier in August 1990. The album was a game-changer, showcasing the band's unique blend of heavy metal and haunting harmonies, and 'Man in the Box' became one of their breakout hits, giving a strong first impression of their sound. Interestingly, this performance reflects the band's burgeoning presence in the grunge scene, marked by Layne Staley's iconic vocal delivery. The passion exuded during this live recording not only captures the essence of Alice in Chains at a formative stage but also foreshadows their lasting impact on rock music.
