The music of Alice in Chains, as well as Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots, greatly influenced me. AIC also performed at last year’s Back to the Beginning concert. Jerry’s guitar work throughout their set was off the hook. I’ve seen AIC in concert twice, including their final concert performance with the late Layne Staley (July 3, 1996).

AIC opened the show with this song from their 1995 album.
