Alice in Chains

The performance of "God Am" captured on July 3, 1996, marks a critically poignant moment in Alice in Chains' history, being Layne Staley's last live show. During this period, the band was navigating turbulent waters; their self-titled album, which came out just a year prior in 1995, showcased a darker, more introspective sound, reflecting Staley's personal struggles. The Kemper Arena in Kansas City became the backdrop for this emotional performance, where fans witnessed a raw and powerful display of artistry, tinged with the understanding that it was a farewell of sorts. Interestingly, the band's turbulent journey and Staley’s haunting lyrics have left an indelible mark in the rock genre, solidifying their legacy long after this heart-wrenching performance.
