Mad Season - Live at The Moore
We shared the story of the remarkable supergroup "Mad Season," known for releasing just one studio album, a distinctive and exceptional album titled "Above".
This extraordinary band has also released another album, not a studio album, but a live performance album!!
The album "Live at The Moore" was released on August 29, 1995, capturing the band's performance at the Moore Theater in Seattle on April 29, 1995. Initially, the album was available only as a live performance on VHS tape. It wasn't until 2013 that the album was released on CD, along with a DVD re-release of the show and a vinyl re-release of the album "Above."
This incredible band played all ten tracks from the album along with a cover of John Lennon's "I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier".
This marked the band's final appearance!! What distinguishes this album from the studio version is the absence of both external and internal influences. Being separated from their main bands, they faced no pressure or limitations. They were unconcerned with record companies, the audience, or even themselves, focusing solely on creating, recording, and performing for the sheer joy of music!! This is what makes the show so genuine, authentic, straightforward, and uniquely special!!
This is a distinctive and exceptional gift from the band, an almost flawless tribute by Mad Season, a group that has accomplished more in five years than many other bands have in thirty.
It is worth noting that on January 30, 2015, a tribute show titled "Sonic Evolution" was held to honor Mad Season and Temple Of The Dog. This event took place at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, featuring members of Pearl Jam (excluding Vedder) along with Chris Cornell and several other talented musicians, all supported by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
