Alice in Chains

On December 22, 1990, Alice in Chains showcased their electrifying talent at The Moore Theatre in Seattle, a performance encapsulated in the 'Live Facelift' VHS tape. This concert came just after the release of their debut studio album, 'Facelift,' which hit the shelves in late 1990 and was pivotal in shaping the grunge movement. The band's raw sound and haunting harmonies were already making waves, capturing the essence of the Seattle sound. It’s interesting to note that the song ‘Man in the Box,’ featuring that signature eerie guitar riff, was climbing the charts at the time, solidifying the band’s presence in the burgeoning rock scene. This live recording not only highlights their dynamic stage presence but also serves as a snapshot of a band on the brink of major success.
