Hey folks, a couple exciting things in Mad Season world: Mike McCready and I have been working on the 30th anniversary re-release of the "Above" album, which will be happening in March. And somewhat in the same time frame is the launch of my new music TV series, "Singing Earth," on the VEVO network. Mike McCready, Duff McKagan, and many others appear in various upcoming episodes. Today, the first episode of the series is out and you can watch it on your Internet TV on the VEVO network or on Youtube at SingingEarthVEVO. Episode 1 - "Woven Songs Of The Amazon" was filmed in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, where I and director Tad Fettig @fettigtad along with musical translator Dr. Lisette Garcia @lisettegarcia333 visited the singing Shipibo Shamans, where I did field recordings of the shaman's healing songs known as "Icaros." The shamans then asked me to bring in some of my musical friends to add their music to the Icaros and the results are truly exceptional. Joining us from studios around the world are Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron @themattcameron Joshua Tree legend David Catching @itookthisphoto New York percussionist Elizabeth Pupo-Walker @elizabethpupowalker and Cuban singer-songwriter Hector Tellz Jr. @hectortellezjr A companion album will be released in a few weeks that has 20 of these Icaro collaborations, and 100% of the proceeds goes directly to the shamans and their families. We hope you enjoy this first episode, and please help us spread the word! Love, Barrett Martin
That is great news.

Im guessing a similar route that label took for AIC's dirt en jar of flies in recent years. Just e really nice vinyl remaster. Cause I would be very very surprised when this will be another box set with stuff that wasn't on the previous one.

A blu-ray for ''Live at the Moore' would be welcome... That's one of my fav live videos of all time

I'd like the two minute instrumental that plays over the credits of Live at the Moore as a standalone track, it definitely stretches beyond the closing of the credits.

Mad Season
Three Fish - S/T
Brad - Interiors
RNDM - Ghost Riding
“In the running” is an interesting way to describe a side project band that is actually better than the primary band.
