About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zeeland band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

If I could bring back only 1, it’d be Shannon.. he just wasn’t supposed to die.
Shannon was obviously a huge VU fan. There's a reason that Shannon named his daughter Nico.

No doubt about that. It's cool how he sings the first couple of verses to "After Hours" on Live At The Metro. Right after they finish playing Change, then they proceed into Time. I'm sure many BMelon fans have noticed how he ad libs "All I can say is that the Velvet Underground is great" on some live versions of No Rain as well.

This video quality is amazing for 1993!
I cried the day he died. Blind melons music (most underrated band ever) and Shannon’s words hit me just right, right when I needed them. I am thankful. I’ve been told I look like him, I have to admit I like that.

Best damm singer and performer of all time.. Still listen and Love you brother... Shannon Hoon... You are still the best... Miss you so damn much....m
Everyone probably already knows this but Lou Reed wrote this song about Candy Darling's and her desire to escape her birth gender. This is also the last song Lou Reed played live. Thought it was a very insightful choice of a tune to cover as was most of all their originals.

That beautiful voice.
Brads( bass player ) face as Shannon starts singing makes this video for me , It captures my entire experience with his voice , At first its like wtf , so weird , then i fell into the groove with it and soon began to appreciate how unique it was . Basically hooked after that .

I first heard this version of "Candy Says" during the end credits of "Beautiful Darling", a 2010 documentary about Candy Darling. It can be seen on KZread, it's very interesting and touching, and gives some great resonant context for this song.

die sessie was dus a give away van Blind Mellon kostenloos en dus gratis. daarom vond ik dat dus heeeeeel uitzonderlijk (dacht ik),omdat ik het dus vind dat 2 meter sessies daarvoor bedoeld was. zo zie je maar weer dat muziek altijd weer geexploiteerd moet worden door mensen die dat niet kunnen apricieeren. peace/vrede
the original makes me cry, this makes me happy 😊

This version of "Candy Says" was played during the end credits of "Beautiful Darling", a 2010 documentary about Candy Darling, the subject of this song and a muse of Lou Reed. This version might make you cry if you see that touching documentary, since Candy had such a sad and tragic end.

Notice how the 2 meter crew was not taking them serious at all but after Shannon blew they faces totally off with that cover Rupert was asked if it was all right and pretty and the whole crew starts throwing out songs they wanna hear next they was then blown away lol...Shannon is only 1 mile from where I live in Lafayette,Indiana hes buried at Dayton cemetery small town on the edge of Lafayette and i often visit his grave it is so peaceful and quiet out there its totally sobering when you stand there gazing out over the tranquil of all the quiet and peaceful birds chirping and just reflect on the mans life he spent barely 28yrs with us but he lived a load in those 28yrs some ppl burn the candle from both ends and pack more into a small amount of time than most do in say 75yrs he lived to see more than most of us ever will not to say i dont wish he didnt meet an untimely death can't fathom what was to come from these guys they only made 2 albums and the 2nd was new and critics hated it...ill always believe had he not went to rehab the last time before the start of this soup tour he likely would have lived or at least lived lot longer...his tolerance had went down he gets out goes on binge and BOOM blew up his heart only thing is they never released the amount of coke he had in his system other than saying it was heart attack attribiuted by O.D. cocaine....well and done still but im curious to see how much he did cuz rogers stevens said he done the largest ball of coke he ever seen between L.A. and then in Houston bought some pure "Bolivian flake " and that was the straw broke the camels back in the all i can say doc it shows shannon in the hotel room at aroubd 10 or 1030 in just 3 hrs they find hin dead in Christopher's bunk on the bus which is odd as fuck he said NOBODY ever ever got in another guys bunk and def not to sleep so i figure he had to have known he was in trouble maybe and was either on the bus or close to it and maybe was having chest pains and went to lay down a min to see if he get his heart slow down...im only speculating as why he got dressed out of his shorts in his hotel room at 1030 in the video and then by 130 found dead d9wn stairs on the bus in Christopher's bunk?? Its bizaare ive resd 2 books on them which is all they is and it doesnt tell any more than i just said...anyone else wanna chime in on this?
