alice in chains played their first show in las vegas last night starting off their first 40 city tour.
and WOW, i wasnt even at the show and it was incredible!!! from what has been said they truely lived up to their name and legacy. previously they were playing identical setlist anywhere from 13-17 songs. and all the hits.
last night, was a totally different story!!!! they played 21 songs, completely different setlists and songs they have NEVER played live before. they played:
9/22 las vegas
whale and wasp (intro, recording)
again
bleed the freak
grind (never been played live)
it ain't like that
junkhead
no excuses
nutshell
them bones
dam that river
rain when i die
don't follow (wow..thats all i can say)
brother (same)
killer is me
got me wrong
down in a hole
frogs (wow)
dirt
sludge factory
we die young
angry chair
man in the box
and during the set breaks they played some sort of slide show with pictures of layne and a montage of the band from past to present. anyone who thinks this tour isnt in honor, can officially shove their original thoughts up their ass. i cant believe this. and i cant wait till i see them in nyc nov.01

Does their new lead come close to doing Layne justice? I wonder....
Nice setlist! Whale and Wasp is one of my favorite pieces of music. The moodieness of it, pretty powerful stuff
hes the lead singer for the band "comes with the fall". and i hate to sound like a racist but i think its somewhat neccesary to point out that he is black. like i said, that shouldnt be a turn down or anything, but its odd, dont u think?
its great hearing those tunes again
One of my favourites too, i cant choose between Pj and AIC.
I cant believe some of the songs they played
don't follow (wow..thats all i can say)
rotten apple (same)
frog ?
wooo
Sounds like they are doing it right. I might have to go see them, if they come around stl that is.
hmmmm...I wonder if the new Blind Melon will have the same outcome (I hope so)

yeah, i saw them at the Download Festival and he did a really good job. I was so glad I got a chance to see them and didn't know what to expect from the new singer but he was cool.
Wow...i didn't know they've never played Grind before.....

Yeah I didn't realise that, nice to see they're playing them now though.

I just don't get this AIC tour. It's all about the $$$, isn't it? I know Jerry was big part of AIC, but Layne was to them what ed is to PJ.
True, he was. But im sure its just not about the money, they just want to be playing with each other again. I, just like many other people, am just glad I got to see them, even without Layne, because in the early 90's I was too young and wasn't into music back then. So I'm so glad they did this tour.:)

I would urge people to go and see them and not to be put off by the new singer. William certainly does a very good job and although he is no Layne he brings a different edge to the songs.

yea no problem, i had to post this, its fuckin incredible.
alice in chains is totally proving to us they can do it again, and dare i say better? (atleast the original 3 are doing it better now) i remember people doubting this tour will have any extra songs being played, and BAM look at their first show!
oh and apparently rotten apple was a mistake, it was not played :( but im sure it will be played soon.
now if only alice in chains tours with pearl jam, oh my god, words cannot describe that. if this happens, and i see it, it will be the best day of my life without a doubt. 2 incredible surving bands from the 90s coming back. (ok pj never left but u get the picture)
That
River
?!?!?!?!?! :eek:
I hope I'll see them again soon (and then I would have seen DuVall-AiC more than Staley-AiC, weird)
The dirty south needs a fix.
i've seen 3 jerry solo shows with william and they did quite a few AIC songs and they all sounded great.
This thread makes me happy

No he wasn't. People fail to realise that Jerry wrote most songs, did a lot of work and sang more than simply backing vocals. If anything, Layne and Jerry are what Ed is to PJ. They were a team.
I was so happy to hear that AIC were touring again, as I only got into them after Layne died, I never thought that I'd ever hear an AIC song live.
Anyone that has seen them with William will agree that he's not replacing Layne, just doing him pretty good justice. He was the best out of the prospective singers they tried out, and he is certainly not trying to step on Layne's toes.

SMELL YER MA!
Ok, he does a good job at not being 'too' much of a Layne style singer, he's got good voice for sure, but some of us will never really, truley see this new line up as AiC, it's like Aic doing covers of their own songs!?!?! ... a new band, sure, might be interesting, under a new name. I don't agree, Layne was AiC .. basically, it's the image of him that springs to mind for most when AiC are mentioned, even if Jerry was just as much a part of what made the sound/style.
I love JC, love his solo stuff, and some of my fav' AiC tracks are ones he wrote, but those songs just aint quite the same without Layne, as alot of them were in fact about him.
um, wow! Color this old broad EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!! William is HOT and sings his freakin' heart out!!!!!!!!!!
