Guys sound better in a sound check than most bands live.

Omg I love how Mike Starr is casually playing cover riffs and everyone's straight chillin doin their thing

[A-small-amount-of-peas]

I love that a video of the band doing a random sound check is only 7 days old and still gets 147k views.
Awesome that the fanbase is still there.
Would give my left nut to go back to the day this was filmed

Fascinating seeing Layne and Mike in the prime of their lives. It makes me so sad to see two physically healthy guys and know what lies ahead for them.

[skelleytor]

91 we had a healthy Layne and Kurt, what a great year performance wise

[OscarOffTheCuff]

it's crazy that this footage is over 30 years old, probably just sitting in a void somewhere, and all these years later we get to see it.

[swiv]

sucks that these two are gone...Such a great band..R.I.P Mike and Layne

[Steve-qnlj]

I met Layne on this tour in NJ. He was hanging out by the tour buses, and he was super cool. Got a pic. Back when you had to get the film developed. RIP Layne and Mike.

The bass line at the beginning of Would is probably one of the best in rock history. This sound check/video is great and it catapults me back to those days in the early 90s when I was a fresh young adult.

[dmarkj]

I walked right by Mike Starr on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena just a few weeks before he died. It was so surreal and very sad.

[mox]

it's beautiful and hard seeing Layne and Mike so young and healthy. so much talent in those two guys

[gilpinsteven]

I love how goofy Layne could be despite all his demons. What an amazing dude and wonderful musician.

[wildhog]

That shit is heartbreaking. Layne's story didn't have to end the way it ended. How I wish he was still with us. :(

[Andrew-fwrg]

I just love how we're starting to get better quality videos of this era like this literally looks it was filmed a couple years back

[Michael_]

What a gem. Seeing Mike and Layne enjoy doing what they love and goofing around is so cool. Before their demons took over sadly

[AvecPoesie]

This footage has made my night. Today is the anniversary of my Father's Death...a heavy-hearted time. Seeing this lifts my Spirits exponentially. 🖤

[karriconrad]

For a young girl in her early 20's at this time, these guys were a FORCE! The chemistry, the tunes, the songs... Top fucking notch! Rest in peace you boys that are gone... For you Sean, I expect you to follow the lead of Charlie Watts, and Jerry, if you want to date, gimme a shout! LOL! Seriously, YOU are the backbone to AIC! Rock on, man...

[freebee]

There is not one band today that can even hold a candle to these guys

[gilpinsteven]

6:45 Sean Kinney just CRUSHING it! In the pocket 100%.

[angrychar]

it isnt the end of the year without a gift from you! thank you
