AIC Live - The Studio Masters Meet Their Toughest Test

Alice In Chains relied heavily on production in the studio. Harmonies, Multi-track guitar leads/rhythms, Background vocals, etc. That, combined with the necessary and omnipresent volatility of the band, makes this live set a true test of AIC and their translation from the studio to the stage. With this in mind you can notice where some of the denser songs thin out (and why). Listen to "Them Bones" and "Man In The Box" to see AIC struggle to keep their trademark density during a live set. These songs show the magic of the dichotomy between Layne and Jerry. Layne and Jerry support each other's vocals in key spots and the rhythm section pumps up to thicken guitar solos which, otherwise would sound weak in comparison to their studio work. AIC LIVE is an awesome study in a band rising to meet challenges. Beyond that, they will blow you away with "Love, Hate, Love", "Bleed The Freak", and "Dam That River". A masterpiece and what should be the gold standard of all live albums coming out today.

They deserved way more praise than Nirvana. AIC...way more talented.

AIC at its best

This album is amazing. I couldn't believe how good they sounded live. I don't know why everyone says Man In The Box is bad live. It's faster and Jerry's voice sounds cooler during the chorus. If you get the actual disk, it tells you when they were recorded and Bleed The Freak and Queen Of The Rodeo (both amazing, especially Bleed The Freak) were the only ones on here done with Mike Starr on bass. Very powerful album and it sounds very dark. This is not the place to start with AIC, but if you own the important albums (Dirt and Facelift), this is great. Highly recommended.

In many ways, Alice in Chains was the definitive heavy metal band of the early '90s. Drawing equally from the heavy riffing of post-Van Halen metal and the gloomy strains of post-punk, the band developed a bleak, nihilistic sound that balanced grinding hard rock with subtly textured acoustic numbers. They were hard enough for metal fans, yet their dark subject matter and punky attack placed them among the front ranks of the Seattle-based grunge bands. While this dichotomy helped the group soar to...
