Jerry was actually sick that evening, before and after he was on stage. He said he felt good on stage.Passion for *9* said:I'm watching the whole Unplugged session now. Layne was really fucked up then + Jerry had to carry him thru quite a bit here + there...
'I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied...'
What could have been if he hadn't worshipped God Smack ?
Imo Layne has the best voice I've ever heard. Ever heard Mad Season?
Mad Season was formed in 1994 by the trio of Mike McCready (guitar), Barrett Martin (drums) and John Baker Saunders (bass). All three had long been a part of the Seattle music community with McCready playing in such bands as Pearl Jam and Temple of the Dog, Martin with Skin Yard and the Screaming Trees and Saunders with The Walkabouts as well as blues talents such as Little Pat Rushing, Hubert Sumlin, Sammy Fender, and the Lamont Cranston Band.
Immediately the trio set up rehearsal time together and wrote two songs, "Wake Up" and "River of Deceit", both of which would later appear on their album Above. McCready then brought in friend and Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley to round out the lineup.
Also very, very good music. I think Layne's voice is perfect on some of their songs
