This is a special tour celebrating the Birthday of Layne Staley. A portion of proceeds donated to The Layne Staley Memorial Fund. A guided tour focused on Layne Staley and Alice in Chains. You’ll also see and hear where some of the most iconic records in Seattle music history were recorded, including Pearl Jam's TEN, Alice in Chain's Jar of Flies, Soundgarden's Louder than Love, Temple of the Dog, and countless others. Stand in the “Live Room” where the bands performed, and learn about the unique acoustic environment and recording techniques used to get “that sound.” Walk through the vocal booth where Layne Staley, Chris Cornel, Eddie Vedder, Shannon Hoon, and so many iconic singers belted verses that defined a generatio n. Sit in front of the Piano featured on Mother Love Bone’s Chloe Dancer, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Downtown, and Dave Matthew’s Band When I’m Weary. Finally, sit in the control room behind the 1974 analog Neve console, the studio’s centerpiece, and listen listen to the music you love the same way the band’s heard it for the first time while recording. Guest speakers include Layne Staley's mom (Nancy McCallum), Mike Starr's mom (Gayle Starr), London Bridge Engineer (Jonathan Plum) and an early Layne Staley Producer (Tim Branom).
