Live by Alice In Chains (CD, Dec-2000, Columbia USA)

I think they sound better live!!! If you like Alice In Chains, you will love this album. They have so much energy and it's contagious.

Just BUY it!

The varied material shows the transformation this band underwent. From Queen of the Rodeo to God Am, there were alot of miles and probably enough material to easily do a double disc set, that is why I rated it 4/5. Layne is a bit worn out in the 1996 material but I like all the songs on this set.

Overall good live performance considering most don't measure up to studio recordings. Dallas crowd not the liveliest (chemically altered?) but Staley turns up the volume nonetheless. Great bass. Required purchase if you are a AIC fan.

Live albums are typically hit or miss, not so with this. I own each AIC album, this puts more feeling of what a live album should be. On par with the GnR live set.

I'd buy again and give as a gift.

I have never seen Alice in Chains in concert. But, if you use your imagination just close your eyes and listen to the cd. Most live recordings suck. This LIVE cd does not. I really wish I saw the real deal. But, this turned out to be a gem of a CD for me.

Hi, I really wanted an Alice in Chains CD and found this one was factory sealed which was great. It even described it as being a special CD. It was probably worth more in the packaging than ope, but I opened it. It plays great and the sound quality is fine for a live CD. You know what though? I had to order another one that was not live because it doesn't rock me like the basic recorded songs do. I like it and happy with the purchase but should have left it sealed. What can you say about Alice in Chains? I am a late bloomer for these guys and wish I had really took an interest in them when they were all there years ago. Rock on!

The CD got to me much faster than I expected. Would do business anytime with the seller. I decided to but the CD because Alice In Chains is a band I really like and who could pass up for a CD for 1 cent?

Thanks so much !

Before the classic metal era was ushered out by the coming of Seattle's Nirvana and grunge, there was a band who kept one foot in the past and successfully bridged the gap between the two waves. That band was Alice in Chains.

Their musical sound was indeed harsh and raw and "grungy," but the melodic harmonizing between lead singer/writer Layne Staley and founder/lead guitarist/writer Jerry Cantrell was pure beauty. They took vocals to an entire new level. Add in incredible drumming by Sean Kinney and a fine bass played by Mike Inez, and you have a SUPERGROUP. Sharp, well-written lyrics over tight musicianship with an undeniably moving tone and mood.

Scorching versions of "Love, Hate, Love", "Rooster" and "Junkhead." All live, all perfect examples of how talented this band really was. Too bad Layne Staley had to die...

If you like hard rock with a hard edge and a eye on the darker side of life, you need look no further. Alice in Chains is rock group who can never be mimicked or repeated...

I bought the cd cause it was live. However it did not match the listing for the condition. Plus the case inside was broken. It also skips during playback. Ive boughten alot of cds through ebay. This is the only 1 that was bad and damaged. Not worth the money to return. Also I tried to contact the seller with no reply. So its unfornate that I must leave my first negative feed back. Im very disappointed in all of this!!!
