Mad Season - Live at The Moore, 1995

(Mini Documentary with Mike McCready and Barrett Martin, 2015)

On April 29th, 1995, the alt-rock supergroup Mad Season took the stage at Seattle’s The Moore and played what would be the final show with their original lineup. Though members Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees) would play together in various incarnations of the group over the years, the late singer Layne Staley and bassist John Baker Saunders would never again join them on stage.

Martin and McCready returned to the very venue in which the concert took place to reflect upon that night two decades ago. Over the course of the five-minute clip intercut with rehearsal and live footage, the pair touch on the preparation the band put in before the big show as well as the legacy it left.

'Wake Up' ~ Mad Season

🎶

Wake up young man, it's time to wake up

Your love affair has got to go, for ten long years

For ten long years, the leaves to rake up

Slow suicide's no way to go, oh

Blue clouded gray, you're not a crack up

Dizzy and weakened by the haze

Movin' onward

So an infection not a phase, yeah

The cracks and lines, from where you gave up

They make an easy man to read, oh

For all the times you let them bleed you

For a little peace from God you plead, and beg

For a little peace from God you plead

🎶
