It took a year of so for their self Titled debut to make an impact even with the support of Axil Rose, who was also from Lafayette Indiana and a very good friend of Shannon's older sister and friend of Shannon's as well. When Shannon took off to LA to get a band together after high school, his sister asked Axil to keep an eye on him for her and Axil very much did that. Guns and Roses were at their popularity Azimuth at that time and they let Blind Melon open ALot of big venues for them, but the public had to find the exceptional songwriting,musicianship and vocals on their own and after the record had been out about a year with constant touring, suddenly the people caught on and it turned into a must have album selling 3 million copies. Triple Platinum is no small achievement for any band much less the first record from an unknown bunch of guys from the Midwest and deep south gelling in LA. I loved these guys from the moment l I borrowed my roommates cassette when I was testing tires over the road in a fleet of Chevy Lumina's at night while in college at Kent State in 1992-93. I listened to that cassette over and over and over. It is still one of my favorite records and I've learned most of the songs on it on guitar. They are not underatted, just short lived. Pretty damn tragic like ALot of the other great bands of that era. I'm 4onths older than Shannon and Ii just turned 57. So he'd have been 56 turning 57 in September as of this weighting. I lived hard as well and feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience this life into my 50's. There are no guarantees. I didn't really come to terms with myself of find inner peace or convictions until I was well into my 40's. Emotional maturity took aLot of work. Still working at it.we are all tragically flawed as Humans, every one of us. So I start every day telling myself that fact and from thereO am able to give myself a break and give all other humans a break because we all make mistakes all the time and all we can do is get back in the saddle and forgive again

Shannons vocal performance here is stellar and the band is beyond tight I could never understand why they are only known for the no rain tune when everything else they did was so much better

Some Blind Melon songs take you through a journey tightly packed in a short 3 to 4 minute song, for me thats Paper Scratcher, St. Andrews Fall, Change etc. Its really fucking cool. Out of all early musician deaths, Hoon I believe it has to be top 3 out of all. That should not have happened.

Definitely the most underrated band of the 90's. For some reason Shannon reminds me of a friend. Or maybe a lot of of friends who lost their way. Sensitive, fun and crazy. God bless his family and real friends. Change helped through those times and always will

Shannon didn't miss a single beat

Shannon's voice AND his body didn't miss a beat he was completely in the rythm,body and soul one with the sound

20 years and i still miss him every day. i never get tired of listening to him. he was such an amazing poet with a beautiful and touching voice. love and miss you shannon!

You can't beat vintage Blind Melon. A real band with music that was so powerful. Beyond even their expectations let alone everyone else. Words really can't define the energy, talent, and rawness of Blind Melon. Never will there be another like Shannon Hoon. Damn what could have been...

What saved me was well me. I got tired of being sick and tired. I'm sure many tried with Shannon. Friends, family and fans. But Shannon wasn't ready. He paid the price for it too. God speed.

Shannon was blitzed out of his mind and clearly uncomfortable physically, but still put on an amazing performance, as did the entire band.

This music makes me feel peculiar. It brings back past emotions I haven't felt in a long time. As I am moving forward with my life I tend to lose all my previous situations and feelings. For some reason this music is connected to strange part of my life where I didn't know what to do and didn't want to do anything. I listened to the albums before he died intensely during this time. Its rare that music brings me to a certain place with mixed feelings. I think its the tone of everything.

What guts me the most is where this band could have gone. They had such a range of style to venture into many avenues. They had it all. They had it all till they didn’t.

I've seen BM 10 times and while I wasn't here this to me is their best performance ever. It's a shame this was their last major show.

I bet he was an absolute riot to hang out with. Just crazy enough to keep you on your toes. When I say crazy I mean Genius crazy. There is a pic of him sitting on the floor real close to the camera and he has his chin on what looks like a tv or something and he a big smile on his face. Cracks me up. He had an infectious smile and laugh. I recently re-discovered Blind Melon and it has inspired me to pick the guitar back up after almost 20 years. Listening to him play guitar on the acoustic songs that were posted by his mother (I think) really touched a nerve with me. I cant believe he has been gone for so long. I hope that when he arrived they moved Elvis' time slot back and put Shannon in his place. RIP SH you crazy mother' you are missed by millions.

Hell yes! Shannon had a voice that was second to none.

Broke my heart watching the “All I Can Say” documentary and watching Shannon be told the band was a one hit wonder. No rain was a simple 4 chord song easily digestible to the masses, but their other songs were unique and had a lot of depth. Definitely a musicians type of band that’s for sure.

heartbreaking to watch Hoon during "Walk" singing, playing guitar and harmonica at the same time at an elite level

I'm glad that Shannon seemed so on point and articulate in this program. Plus, the whole band was getting to play their newest material to a TV studio full of Canadian teenagers, not to mention all of the teens and 20-somethings watching it live at home. This is such a killer performance and it demonstrated just what a great f*cking band the original Blind Melon were. 'Soup' is a masterpiece imho.

I feel they were pretty much the peak of the Grunge/Alternative sound. Never got the recognition they deserved..maybe because the post grunge was already taking over and his death right as I think they were on the verge. It's our duty to let the younger generation of music lovers know about great bands so they'll never be forgotten!

I was in line at Tipitina’s that night. I had never gotten to see BM and at 17 years old, tonight was the night. So there I stood, ticket in my pocket, fake ID in hand and a huge giddy smile on my face. A few moments later... The smile quickly turned into a broken heart and a grim realization that I would never get to witness their show. Here I am in 2020... Just bought Soup for the third time and found this video. It put that smile right back on my face! Thank you! 😊

Bringer of Light Phenox sounds like we're friends:)

A brief and beautiful moment in music, so grateful it happened in a time when it could be recorded ❤ such a great combination of creative souls ❤

The best band of their time, no question. Shannon was man and to this day remains my favorite voice of the 90's. Nobody had the passion Hoon had, nobody.

Thank you for sharing the legacy that was Shannon. Love and miss him terribly.

Good to see a concert where the audience doesn't all have a phone out recording!!

Breaks my heart that I never saw them live. Thank you Blind Melon for the music and magic

It's amazing how FAST these guys took off. I week after creating the band they got signed.

The band was tight as hell and even though Shannon was obviously super high he was spot on. Don't know how he pulled that off I really enjoyed his singing. RIP my friend.......

The performance of Galaxie is absolutely incredible. Shannon’s talent as a singer and showman is remarkable. Truly a prodigy. The most underrated band of my generation.

man!! so much talent with these guys! everything was always bang on! perfect! so much sound! these guy are timeless! we will be listening for years to come! rip Shannon!

i have never ever heard a voice like this ever ,really love shannon hoon rip

these guys souls came right to the surface.

These performances were incredible. So Raw. Those were the days😌

a haunting performance ~ hoon's on a whole other plane of existence here; as his blood boils / voice soars (& so close to death, as it would turn out) *the best live rock vocalist of the 90's (arguably top 5 in rock-n-roll history)

What a show. What a band! RIP Shannon Hoon.

I am from Ottawa and absolutely loved Blind Melon! I am grateful for the fact that he performed in Canada to give history some more material about this absolutely captivating individual...

And the guitar work of this duo is absolutely legendary!!

Shannon was a PERFORMER, absolutely incredible energy every single show.

One of the best bands hands down. R.I.P. SHANNON HOON.

Just can't get over how brilliant this is! Amazing band.

This recording is a true gem! Many thanks to you for posted this.

Blind Melon changed so much by the time that Soup came out, MTV and mainstream radio didn’t know what to do with them and their brand new sound. But what a glorious sound it was. Brilliant in fact. Soup had very mediocre sales , but the artists and musicians who praised this album tells you everything you need to know: Neil Young, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Robbie Robertson, Cheryl Crowe, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, David Gilmore, Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney… the list goes on and on. Robert Plant even stated Jeff Buckley and Shannon Hoon were among his favorite (!) singers…of all time. The band you are seeing perform here was a band that was poised to find critical success well beyond the 90’s. What stings is that Shannon was one of those once-in-a-generation singer/songwriter/performers, and we only got the smallest, tiniest window into who he was and what he was going to become.

He was going to be huge !sadly they should have scrapped this tour for Shannon to get a few months sober under his belt. I feel we would still be seeing him today.

Shannon was a master. I remember listening to him in High School. Now still listening to him while writing or just wanting to get lost in space.

Miss and love you Shannon.. amazing emotion in this show.

The difference between Shannon Hoon and the others ,he was overwhelming as an artist, poet and was simple :)

blind melon and soup are masterpieces

Una gran banda, un gran frontman, un gran concierto, todo eso en un solo comentario. Lamentablemente ya hace más de 25 años nos dejaba una estrella que empezaba a iluminar, pero la verdad ha dejado al rock de aquellos años en lo más alto de la historia. Un monstruo Shannon!

Man, Toes across the floor I must have listened to that version like honestly 2000 times and it's still so... so powerful

Added this to a playlist almost a decade ago. This is the best performance on tape of theirs I’ve ever seen

Wow what a great great vocalist!

Shannon Hoon reminds me a lot of the late Jim Morrison, with how he acts on stage, although his voice is different of course, and I say that in a good way. Both singers had their great voices and their stage presence.

Vernie is my favourite drum song of all time

Being from Lafayette, Indiana.... Shannon was a hometown treasure to us. Axl, Izzy, and Shannon being from here. Michael Kelcy (playing hand drums in this show)was his original guitarist in his first band, Styff Kitten. Also a treasure.

This is the best blind Melon video on you tube.

I've watched this so many times I stopped counting. I cain't imagine it being any better than it is.

I loved this band. Funny to listen to this now and realize how much his lyrics were about addiction. Didn't pick that up when I was 16

the greatest live set I've ever seen by any band. So tight! Shannon, you truly were an angel among us bro! R.I.P

One of the greatest bands of that error. Songs that will be played forever. Had the good fortune to see them several times back in the 90's. Powerful live performances!

Easily my favorite Blind Melon song......but then there's Walk...

this band made my 90"s experience the best!

I was able to be at the Woodstock performance and just wish he could be with us now... wow the things to write about..much love.

Melon has snuck deeper into my soul as the grunge era continues to fade and this show just proves how incredibly powerful they and Hoon were. Giants.
