    A good live album. Much better than Nirvana's 'from the wishkah' live CD for example. The band and Layne Staley are in great form, especially on earlier tracks like 'Bleed the Freak', 'Love Hate Love', 'Junkhead'. For me, the best track is 'God Am' from one of their last ever shows with Staley in 1996. Despite being obviously very ill due to substance abuse by this time, here he manages to give one of his best ever vocal performances. I would have probably given this disc 10 if it wasnt for the slightly muddy sound on some of the tracks, esp. the 1996 ones.… Expand

    best live album ever?fu** yeah! the only thing that i didnt like was Rooster. The studio version has a more "poundage" too it. and its too slow or too fast or too AIC. i cant put my finger on it.

    excellent album...shows that layne is one of the all time great rock singers, combined with the fantastic guitar playing ability from jerry cantrel represents the bands live performances very well...probably one of the most underated band of all time

    Alice in Chains - Live should have been a double disc set. There were far too many great songs sacrificed in narrowing it down to just one disc.

    A reminder of how great the band could be when its members put their minds to it.

    Somewhat surprisingly, for a band that hasn't toured much in its 12-year career, Live is full of edge-to-edge dynamite performances dating from 1990 to 1996.
