    Here's A LOT more info about the release from Amazon:
    http://www.amazon.com/Above-Deluxe-Edit ... FIZL2L3SP5

    Above (Deluxe Edition) is a three-disc set comprised of two CDs and one DVD.

    CD 1 features the original album + an unreleased acoustic instrumental titled "Interlude," 3 new songs from the band's unfinished second album with newly recorded vocals and lyrics by Mark Lanegan and a remixed version of the band's John Lennon cover "I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier"

    CD 2 features the full audio set from the bands historical performance at the Moore Theater in Seattle on April 29, 1995, remastered in stereo sound.

    The DVD features the first official DVD release of Live at The Moore, remixed and remastered and newly edited by director Duncan Sharp. Also featured is a full concert of the bands performance from New Years Eve 1995 at RKCNDY in Seattle and both performances from Self-Pollution Radio, one newly edited.

    **A full-color collector's booklet features previously unseen performance photographs and an essay by Barret Martin reflecting on the lives of Staley and Saunders and the history of the band.**


    It's very nice to know these AWESOME details ;)

    Awesome details indeed!! :D

    Now if only they could release a Blu-ray version of Live at The Moore. :think:

    I enjoy Live at the Moore very, very much, but I wish it wasn't as chopped up as it is...seems to be a fair amount of overdubbing...many spots where the audio and video do not match up...especially in regards to Mr. McCready's solos on I don't know anything........but the footage of them doing the aforementioned for Monkeywrench....Christ man...that solo rips my face of Mike!!!!!!

    I still hope the DVD is the COMPLETE Moore show, but great to know that we'll at least have the complete audio!

    While I completely agree that it would be awesome to have the Moore concert on bluray, I don't think its technically possible. Most concerts in the later 70s/80s/90s/early 00s were filmed on video tape. Film was expensive and rarely used for filming shows.

    It's why gem's like Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same are such standouts. It's very rare a live concert got put on film. In that cause I think it was because it was meant for theatrical release. There's a few others from other bands out there. Like Nirvana had one concert from their entire career on film and it was only on 16mm so the bluray isn't the greatest (But better than nothing).

    So I would put the odds of a Mad Season bluray at very slim.

    That being said when I watching the PJ20 bluray I was amazed at how good Pearl Jam's showbox footage looked! How come that isn't on bluray! :) I think it was being filmed for the music videos. I'd love to see a full release of that.

    So maybe if PJ's moore show as shot on film so was mad season's. It's just so rare that concert's were put on film, which makes putting historical shows on bluray a very rare event :(

    I hope the new edit just gets rid of all the kaleidoscope effects during the show.

    Know there are some feedback issues during a few songs (all that were cut from original release). Still hope the slight imperfections from the show don't keep them from sharing the complete show.

    Also wondering if RKCNDY will be pro or audience shot??? There were a couple clips that Laynes buddy posted on youtube a few years back, but they were shot from the balcony. Regardless, I am looking forward to this release, I still remember picking up Above the day it was released.

    Interesting to note that, even with shipping, the Ten Club pre-order works out to be $5 cheaper than what Amazon is currently charging.
