Same Summer of '93 I was on my sailboat doing maintenance at the dock when their first hit "Found Out About You" came on the radio playing in the background. I hadn't really listened to anything played that day, until "the" song came on. Electrifying, it seemed the song was written specifically for whoever listened to it! I compared the experience with the first time I heard the Beatles in 1964; it was like a magic no words are available to explain (yep, I'm that old --- so will you be in time).

The acoustic version highlights the beauty and charm of the melody. A well crafted gem.

And the lyrics are just so on point. Such a fantastic melody. Same back beat as Smashing Pumpkin 1979, I know that at least. Haha. I love playing this song acoustic but using barre chords. It's one of the few songs (other being STP - Creep) that my voice actually works really well for.

God I miss the 90’s...... no cell phones...... no gps...... no social media .........no rules...... just a bunch of kids with a car and a full tank of gas........ and the best music 🤘🤘

This is one of the rare songs where the lyrics are extensively deep in relation to the original sound. A few years back A-Ha stripped down 'take on me' to truly give the song a whole new meaning. The Gin Blossoms could do it with this one. A true testament to the emotional connection the late, great Doug Hopkins had to the songs lyrics vs the musical sound of GB. You can definitely understand that he lived these lyrics. It's too bad he wasn't able to see the final culmination of the Gin Blossoms longterm success, then again he might have not wanted to with the major label signing. As much as I love the all around talent of the Gin Blossoms the dropoff in terms of songwriting depth after NME was and is still evident to this day.

Man this performance gets all of my Kudos.. and what a great surprise to see that all these years later they are still rockin hard and on point!! Such a good memory of them in my childhood and I'm glad they're all still around and makin the world a better place with their music!!

No words to describe the way they make me feel

One of the great bands of the 90's. Seen them in concert 17 times and they have great stage presence. I miss that tempe sound.

Arrived hours ahead of time to get front and center spot when they played Bele Chere in Asheville in '08. Worth every second. There are no words to express the energy they draw out live. Soundtrack of my adolesence and rocky entrance into adulthood!

This still brings back high school memories for me. Love these guys.

This is so awesome (New Miserable Experience and Counting Crows Debut are truly 1990's Soundtracks) Both Albums are timeless and share a special place in a lot of Children of the 80's and 90's Hearts

omg i love his voice!!!! never gets old. 90's alternative all the way!

In '93 I had just moved to Atlanta. It was the first time I had been away from home, working full time and driving my first car. I told my boyfriend that I had to work that night and I told my boss I was going to visit my parents. I bought a ticket to see Gin Blossoms and went to the show by myself. Collective Soul was the opener. It was a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend anyone to give it a try. Especially in a town that you know not a single soul knows you. Go alone and dance and hop and scream (within legal parameters lol). Best recharge of the batteries ever! Edit: Wow...they're touring together again!

In the all-time favorites for me. This was the first song I remember my uncle teaching me the words to when I was little. Miss him so much, it’s moments like this stumbling upon history that makes me realize we can still hear the people we’ve lost if we’re listening. ❤ love to anybody going thru it.

Didn't expect to hear to this wonderful voice yet !!

The first song I played on stage in the first paying gig I had with my first cover band in college ... early 1990-something. It stayed on the set list for over 5 years.

I was around 12-13 when this album came out and my father had bought it. I played it over and over again for months. Amazing how good his voice still sounds and hasn’t deteriorated with age 👍

I was like 13 when I heard this song like in the early 90’s! Wow, it has never gotten old. The song has time captured someone’s soul in its entire honest state. I think this is what Mede me fall in love with it! Good music won’t ever die.

I was born Into the world in 80.. I love the 80s because it was the sound of my young growing up days, and I love all the 80s especially the rock, and metal, yet having my teen years in the 90s I didn't realize how great this stuff really was. Tho I loved it none the less. Now it has a huge nostalgic value to me. My first love, drink, cig, dip, bud, road trip, bon fires etc, etc, etc as Yule Brenner said in the king and I (All the darn Time) Lollllll.. Growing up in A Village in Northern Michigan we had about 16 designated Named party spots out around the river's, lake's, and the best Two Tracks in the upper Midwest 😮.. Tears can creep up when I hear these song's. We used to talk about how great the 80s were, but now we also rate out 90s experience with a little more enthusiastic heart felt love.. I had real friend's back then. Now I'm in Colorado, and long to go back, and live the rest of this pilgrimage out back where it all Started. A little less reckless of course. I miss you FIFE LAKE , MICHIGAN. Our little Village also had a gnarly AZZ Arcade😢.. Lol Enjoy it while you can if it's good!

I remember staying up all night to finish our Programming Thesis back in college. Gin Blossoms where one of my main playlist in WINAMP. Damn.. Those where the days...
