Received through email three Alice In Chains shows to share, two audience and one soundboard sourced.
All thanks for this go to the uploader (wishes to remain anonymous), below are his comments about the recordings. All files are in FLAC format and have covers and info file inside. Good, eh?

This is an audience recording, with minimal crowd noise. The instruments are clear, and the performance is great. There is a little bit of crackle & pop in some places, but it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the show (except during We Die Young). Until I got this, I had not heard any Live performances of "Nutshell," or the 2 B-A-D-A-S-S songs from The Last Action Hero soundtrack, "What the Hell Have I" and "A Little Bitter". Those songs make this concert a must-have for AIC fans.

I bought this in the mid-90s. The disc says it is a promo copy, so I assume it was to stir up interest in the band when they were promoting their first album. I am not sure how common this disc is within the trading circles, or how many copies were made. The only album art for it that I have seen on the web are lower-quality versions of my old scans, which honestly weren't that great to begin with. This disc is a rare gem from the early days with superb sound quality, and the band is in top form.

The sound quality is good for an audience recording. I've seen Youtube video of part of this show, and this has better sound. Tracks 1-2 are from an entirely different show, and they're the first two tracks instead of thrown in at then end. They really shouldn't have even been included, and seem to throw off the flow of the rest of the album. Layne Staley makes several references to them being in Milan during the show, so there's no doubt where they are. He's also upset with the crowd that night and makes a few comments. Based on what he says, the crowd was throwing stuff onto the stage. "Whoever threw that gum at me, f--k you". Anyway, the band plays yet another great show and this is another awesome moment in time for AiC.
