... dude ... why is everyone in the crowd just standing there? Some guy on the right side of the screen is doing the double fisted air dance, but that's .. about it... AIC would get more action out of a crowd of uptight germans in leather jackets and military boots! lol .. I get it.. most of the people in the crowd have republican roots and they're not allowed to dance unless the banks say so, right? lol.. I wouldn't play in D.C. ever again, that's for sure.

@MrAKFrost You have to remember that when this was shot, this album hadn't been released yet and most people hadn't even heard this song yet. This was the first show of their US tour supporting the new album and one of the very first times they played this song live, of not the first.

I'm in recovery for drug addiction. I can say that I made the choice to abuse drugs(oxycontin and cocaine) and when it finally brought me down I threw in the towel. What people who aren't addicts don't understand is the power addiction has over you not only mentally but spiritually as well. It's a shame Layne couldn't pull through. He seemed like an amazing guy.

I think jerry should be in the middle... all the time now.. wtf...

@mkultra138

I'm very proud of you. I understand the power of addiction also. It is such a tragedy that Layne died before he could realize that it was a dead end road. An awesomely gifted man has left the music world because of this dreadful disease.

@CFKMAN i forone feel so bad for him and his family!!!!!!!!!! but the rock must go on!!!!!! rockon chains

[thecorpse1970]

@mkultra138 hey man keep up the good fight!!!!!!! you deserve to live a full life. not be punished by a bad decision!!!!!

I love how the heart and soul of AIC doesn't put himself in the center but leaves that to Duvall, that's pretty classy. They both harmonize very well, not quite Layne but close enough to keep the AIC sound going. I like how Duvall isn't trying to be or replace Layne but to carve his own place into the band. They still rock to me.

i wanna kick myself in the head for not being there!!! freakin awesome video!!!

[ChrisHaspeck]

Stellar footage man !!!

whn I saw these guys in 07 with their new singer

Niagara Falls NY - 5000 people standing there with their arms crossed all thinking

"this new guy better blow Layne out of the water" ...

and man ohh man .. did he ever kill it !!!

R.I.P. Layne - but I think they found a suitable replacement.

[CFKMAN]

@jem74 True as great as Layne was he actually hurt the band's career because they couldnt even tour with him anymore and when they did, they had to cancel dates and not complete tours. If you have seen the last performances with him live in 1996 when they opened up for KISS, he looked shot and almost on his way out then sadly. I can only imagine what he looked like the last couple years of his life before he died. This band is too great to be stopped and I for one am so happy they carried on
