Alice In Chains (w/ Layne Staley & Mike Starr) Soundcheck - August 16, 1991 - Atlanta -Footage/clips 

Part 2 (uploaded on new years day): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lUGoD5dYE8w.html

Fascinating seeing Layne and Mike in the prime of their lives. It makes me so sad to see two physically healthy guys and know what lies ahead for them.

I love that a video of the band doing a random sound check is only 7 days old and still gets 147k views. Awesome that the fanbase is still there. Would give my left nut to go back to the day this was filmed

I love how goofy Layne could be despite all his demons. What an amazing dude and wonderful musician.

Guys sound better in a sound check than most bands live.

There is not one band today that can even hold a candle to these guys

sucks that these two are gone...Such a great band..R.I.P Mike and Layne

it's crazy that this footage is over 30 years old, probably just sitting in a void somewhere, and all these years later we get to see it.

it isnt the end of the year without a gift from you! thank you

6:45 Sean Kinney just CRUSHING it! In the pocket 100%.

What a gem. Seeing Mike and Layne enjoy doing what they love and goofing around is so cool. Before their demons took over sadly

The bass line at the beginning of Would is probably one of the best in rock history. This sound check/video is great and it catapults me back to those days in the early 90s when I was a fresh young adult.

Layne had one of the coolest voices in rock n roll…not to mention his gift of meaningful song writing. Ironic he truly left behind songs with healing properties.🙏🏽🤘🏽

This footage has made my night. Today is the anniversary of my Father's Death...a heavy-hearted time. Seeing this lifts my Spirits exponentially. 🖤

I just love how we're starting to get better quality videos of this era like this literally looks it was filmed a couple years back

So cool seeing Jerry noodling around with Ed’s amps behind him.

So cool to see Layne smiling and cutting up. They broke the mold when they made him

For a young girl in her early 20's at this time, these guys were a FORCE! The chemistry, the tunes, the songs... Top fucking notch! Rest in peace you boys that are gone... For you Sean, I expect you to follow the lead of Charlie Watts, and Jerry, if you want to date, gimme a shout! LOL! Seriously, YOU are the backbone to AIC! Rock on, man...

I remember as a kid watching Mike Starr on celebrity rehab. He went to a club with young people telling everyone he was the bass player from Alice In Chains. They all said, yeah, that’s nice, and ignored him. I wished I was there, I would’ve been like yes, Mike Starr! Then I would’ve asked him questions and talked his ear off for two hours😂😂

Really cool to see Layne and Mike together here…it’s so tragic these two couldn’t kick their addictions..the talent in this band was unreal

This has to be the most wonderful gift you could have given us; what an absolute treasure of a video this is!! Ever since I first saw the GIFs from it, I knew it would be special! My gratitude is immeasurable - thank you!! ❤

This is a holiday miracle for AIC fans. Thank you

Layne was (and still) the sunshine.

Wow nice to see Layne smile and have fun

Amazing! Love it!❤The four of them together, that was Alice in Chains!

How precious are these gems ❤. Moments in history 🙌

Just WOW.... This rehearsal, esp Love Hate Love gave me chills. Layne sounds better during sound checks than most artists sound when it counts.... Miss you man!!!!!

Two legends truly missed ❤️

Starr was a beast! 🤘🏻 🎸 Thank you very much for this diamond!

Omg I love how Mike Starr is casually playing cover riffs and everyone's straight chillin doin their thing

That shit is heartbreaking. Layne's story didn't have to end the way it ended. How I wish he was still with us. :(

Mike starr most underrated bassist

Layne’s freakin’ belt on Love, Hate, Love towards the end of the video…it’s a sound check!!! So much great live stuff out there. A fan since the beginning. Much gratitude for this as we exit the holiday season!

This is awesome all of them rock and are so talented and love there vibes here , Jerry Cantrell looks so gorgeous too ❤

Mike Starr was so good they both were. I miss them.

Omg this is so good! Love seeing Layne like this

Man mike had a really sophisticated style of hitting those strings. Look at his fingers in slow motion! Very unique and interesting. Having seen a bassist play like that before

5:28 watching this guy goofing and smiling makes my day, despites the sadness inside him 6:33 the best duo you've ever seen, just chillin testing around they're know 2 of them are unmatchable, that's some great footage! I hope more footages continues to come out that we haven't seen yet

Mike playing Ozzy riffs can live rent free in my head forever, love Jerry's EVH cabs!

mike starr bass tone was so tasteful rip Mike & Layne!

8:40 Layne is so precious💗 Thank you so much for uploading this 🙌

91 we had a healthy Layne and Kurt , what a great year performance wise

AMAZING! Thank you for sharing all this RARE footage of Alice in Chains! Esp. of Layne! LOVE it!❤8:42 🤘

Damn. For 1991 this looks way better than VHS. This looks like digital quality footage here, which would have been very rare for that time.

Layne and Mike in their prime! I knew Mike was a good bass player but this really showcased his talent. Now if this was only 3 hours long!

You just made my day a million times better! Legend

Layne hitting those whistle notes, is there anything he couldn't do with his voice!

the sound that came out of Layne was just ridiculous and so powerful ! amazing fn band !

Mike Starr kicked serious heavy.

The contrast between Layne’s goofy (comedic) personality/speaking voice and what he metamorphosed _into_ once it was GO time, couldn’t’ve been starker! 👈 And THAT only further informs his legend & legacy. 😮‍💨

Holy shit this is absolute gold ❤️❤️❤️ wow 👌👌❤️❤️ R.I.P. Layne & Mike ❤️❤️💔💔

Was waiting patiently for some new footage of the Staley. Best present i had all year long. Rest up boys. We are still watching. Thank you

I'm watching this over and over again..this is what music is❤

Freakin awesome. Thank you! Four hot and talented men. 🙏🏼☮️🕊

5:23 New Layne whistle note dropped!! Range Planet, get your pens out! 📝📝🐧🐸

Lost them far far too soon Staley and Starr incredible, not just musicians but magicians, one of the originals AiC and PJ rock 🤘 you all are amazing!

Nice, The Real Alice in Chains was fresh and crazy radical.

What a bad ass bass tone!!!!! Awesome footage. Thank you.

I could watch this stuff all day lol

it's beautiful and hard seeing Layne and Mike so young and healthy. so much talent in those two guys

I could watch this for hours!!!! I LOVE ALICE IN CHAINS, I ❤️ LAYNE STALEY AND JERRY CANTRELL AND MIKE STARR AND CRAZY SEAN KINNEY!!!! YEEEEEAAAAA!! LOVE HATE LOVE ❤️!! RIP LAYNE AND MIKE 😇❤️‍🩹🌹 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME VIDEO 😊 🩷 🤘 ✌️

Starting a New Year with some Real Music. Thank You Layne and Mike RIP, Thank You AIC ... 😎👍

Mike was a looker back in his day

I'm eternally "Jelly" of Mike Starr's long gone collection of SPECTOR Basses. Tragic loss. Talented dude. RIP LSMS 4EVER

Thank you thank you once again for gifting us this delicious footage!! 🎉

This was the coolest captivating footage Ive ever seen of them. so very cool.

This band they were such pros all involved truly in the top 5 of bands in that 90's era no doubt

God I forgot how amazing Jerry Cantrell is. His tone is flawless

This is seriously a gift to end 2023. Thanks so much!!!

From here on out I will remember Layne in all his vibrancy.

Mike Starr was as good as it gets.

I have no idea how Mike Starr rates as a musician, but that bass during Would? is totally awesome!

The more footage we get the better neural net of Layne we’ll create..

33 years ago, insane. Outstanding behind the scenes video. Thanks.

Thank you for this best Christmas gift 🎁 Layne is so beautiful and his laughter i swear is the sweetest ❤❤❤❤

Bug me!!!!!! This is so good, for the first time I can really see Layne up close, such good quality this video!!!!! Thank you man what a treasure this is👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌Love this band so freaking much💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I first saw AIC on this tour 2 months after this footage was shot when they opened for Van Halen at the Meadowlands in NJ. At the time, I had never heard of them. That show was an absolute eye opener. I was blown away by the power of the music and the strength of Layne’s voice. As much as I love VH, AIC’s performance is what stood out for me. RIP Layne and Mike.

You're the man Copperpot!

I love that Jerrys guitar has Laynes name on it :D

This is gold. Great to see Jerry and Sean rip it up. It is sad to see Layne and Mike healthy, in their absolute prime, on the wave of stardom & know what happened. I can't say I have ever understood how someone could let a drug overtake their life, but I am not them and they are not me, everyone is different and has different mechanisms to cope with stresses and different vices which can mislead you. I do wish healthy Layne was still here to grace us with more of his vocal brilliance with Jerry. Loved his Mad Season stuff with Mike McCready. Also loved Andrew Woods and Mother Love Bone. Thanks so much for uploading this and part 2. Pure Gold. Much Appreciated.

Dude, Mike has a *really* solid right hand. I’ve never seen him just kind of jam on stuff like this…

What a gem! Incredible footage, thanks for sharing 🤘🏽🖤

As always, thank you for these rare gems! ❤

Miss you both, Layne and Mike. R.I.P.🙏♥️

No offense to Inez but Mike, Layne, Sean + Jerry are the real fuckin’ deal.

Awesome to see them having fun. Layne looking healthy. Can see Dave Lombardo's massive drumkit in the background. I wish there was close footage of that.

You are quite good, uploading this fragment of this legendary band, thank you.

What a gift!! I'm still smiling ❤❤❤❤❤❤

THANK YOU!!! Great way to end the year… you ROCK FOR giving us this amazing opportunity to hear the BEST band ever

Absolute gold! Thank you, Sir!

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER.😀
