Yes, the 90s are nostalgic for me. I'll be 50 in June.
Sorry for the youngin music.
First time I saw Layne and Alice In Chains was in the early 90s at Lollapalooza at an airfield in Kingston, RI. Some 30,000 of us little bastiches on a 95 degree day for a 9 hour show. Got there early enough to race to the barricades front and center.
Tremendous show with epic talent and some little known bands to most of the world at the time but not us little shits.
AIC headlined with Primus following stellar performances from Tool, Rage Against the Machine and more.
One incredible day and night. One of the highlights of my 40 year passion of attending live performances of types and genres from Billy Joel and Sir Elton to Paul McCartney to the ballet and opera, BSO and the Pops at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood to Pink Floyd to Slayer, Sepultura and everything in between. Last show sadly was about 2 years ago right before the world lost its collective mind, a dynamite performance by a band I had very heard of In This Moment crushing it and opening my eyes to their angry, dark energetic and sexy music as they opened for Five Finger Death Punch at Meadowbrook in Gilford, NH. Helluva night.
Yep, just rambling. Lol . Cuz that's where wonderful nostalga has a tendency to lead.
Cried the morning I read that Layne Staley passed. It was well telegraphed in advance and his lyrics were beautilly self aware on the hole trajectory of his life and what was going to happen yet I still cried.
Rest in Peace man, your soul gave much to many as it burned.
