Since that night I had tickets (or arrangements) to see them about five other times and they always canceled. At the time they sited a million different reason. Of course we later find out it was Layne and his battle with the junk.

To me there are a few bands the define the Northwest Sound and Alice In Chains is one of them. I'll give the new stuff a try, but I'm not sure I am that interested in it without Layne.
I heard The Croc recently re-opened. I always used to check that club when passing through Seattle. I would usually hit Sub Pop Records for a few hours, grab a bite to eat, and then hit a show. Good times!!!

My favorite Alice In Chains show was when they performed at the '93 Lollapalooza:
