  • Comment removed

  • thank you Shannon, YES you did stop the rain and a loving rainbow for us that day!!! I will never forget the music you shared with us all that day! fly on, fly on.....PEACE!!!

  • @bomber88x you don't have to be high to write a good song. he overdosed because he wanted to party. he wasn't writing songs for you. he was selfish and overindulged.

  • Pure AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!  Later...

  • Shannon likes to jumping when he's singing.

  • just bums me out sooo much knowing that BM never realy scratched the surface..they had sooooooo much more to bring to the table and i feel like they were just getting started..but am greatfull for what music they did make with the little time they had...Shannon just had that great energy that pours out of the speakers when u play there stuff and bc of that he will never die nor will the band

  • Can you tell me honestly you wanna be free?

  • Beautiful man....beautiful music! I am so grateful to have experienced this era...People please go beyond NO Rain and discover Blind Melon....changed my life!

  • @mis52layne YESSSS. No one realizes theres SO MUCH MORE to Blind Melon until they dig deep into their discography. The most amazing group of musicians. They will be my favorite band until the day I die and my soul is released and beyond<3

  • Can't believe even 1 person didnt like this....soo amazing

  • So much energy, such a great performer <3

  • huh Thats weird ok I giv eCoke it was. Im sorry. That just I was told.....Well I think he was suicidal anyways....but I loved him too.

  • who cares about the drugs he left a huge mark on the world of music!

  • Dorks he commited suicide der der derrr

  • @BearKare000 he overdosed on coke i dont think it was delibirate

  • this just shows what a performer he was

  • love love love to the moon and beyond.

  • @itsokaytotrip it is ok to trip! mi amigo! bless

  • In all our lives we are assigned a task. Many of us never even hear the call. Shannon Hoon heard it loud and clear, performed the task, and said "What else?".

    The higher powers of the Universe replied, "Nothing. Come home."

    Thank you for sharing the Earth with me, Shannon Hoon. I never could have asked for a better travelling companion.  Rest in peace.

  • @Maat922 could not have ever said anything close to better. you took the words! most definitely amazing<3

  • Shannon , we miss you .

  • Drugs are so awful. For people who say cruel things about Layne or Shannon have no clue the hell addiction is. Being in the music business would be very hard to maintain any clean time.

  • lyrics of my life

  • Hell yeah been waitin some time to actuall see this. They kick serious arse!

  • And on the day I die, Thank God my Soul will be released

    I've seen all your eyes

    And I've seen all your faces

    Can you tell me honestly that you wanna be free?

    Then look in my eyes

    I've been lots of places

    Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me

    Honestly.

  • shannon, one of those beautiful people we just should notttt have to feel the loss of.

  • i've seen all your lies, and i've seen all your faces. can you tell me honestly you wanna be free? look in my eyes, i've been lots of places. can you tell me honestly you wanna be me?

  • We should find Shannon's dealer...and kick the shit out of him!

  • @MarxistaGuadalupano - what dealer.. what city>> But I do agree..

  • Who's going to the Vigil? Somebody give me a ride, I'm around Cincinnati. And not trippin. (anymore)

  • @AdamCursedUsFirst when is it? and where?

  • i wish i could listen to blind melon every second of the day of every week :)

  • shannon hoon remains one of the greatest performers ever to grace the stage

  • I think shannon hoon is a hippie version of layne staley

  • yea.. that stomp was fuckin great!

  • Kills it at 2:33 =) amazing

  • I love this band, but Hoon is high as a kite man

  • you say but like its a bad thing

  • Well, it did take him away right? Thats a bad thing...

  • Well he's only on acid here. Coke is what took him away from us.

  • @DxRox22 Heroin*

  • @SDCDIABLO Nope. Cocaine. I've heard that it was a speedball that actually killed him, but either way, coke was his problem.

  • @SDCDIABLO Well, you're a complete idiot.

  • @DxRox22 Why is that?

  • good;;<3

  • And its never going to grow & on the day we all die, let are souls be released  .......I love watching him hes so real& so into it !!! Miss ya Shannon !

  • lol wha the fuck is zuccaro

  • its the only good thing to come out of italy besides pasta

  • maestros!!!

  • Que buen video

  • What is the Guitarist's name? He has such a distinctive sound that really compliments Shannon's voice. Forgot how much i used to like this band....Brings back a lot of "hazy" memories from my early 20's!

  • His name's Chris Thorn...oh and I totally agree with you :) i just got into this band this year and i already love them.

  • Thanx for the info...i hate smelly people too!

  • no problem. ^_^

  • you gotta love him hes so beautiful

  • Christopher Thorne is the shorter, dark-haired guitarist. Rogers Stevens is the tall, bald guitarist. Hope that helps!

  • y is shannon wearing a dress?

  • I isn't a dress, bastard.

  • okay fine it isnt a dress SRY! a skirt watever. anyway it rlly doesnt matter what he's wearing. he's wuz a cool guy

  • Its his girlfriends.

  • he was tripping on acid at this show and put on his girlfriend's dress before they went on.

    I would of loved to have been there....

    Peace

    x

  • they are genious

  • And my mind is a mind that I have come to know . . .

  • I simply love this fucking song...surely one of the best bands ever...great live performance as well.

    "I got all you normals looking at me" :-)

    RIP Shannon Hoon

  • Shannon kicks serious fuckin ass man

  • I am pretty sure this is a positive comment...so...I agree? I think...

  • shannon hoon is amazing here, RIP man

  • Shannon is amazing everywhere,my pal

  • I just got done reading the story of blind melon and shannon hoon. What a book i tell you, everyone go read it if you're a melonhead. =) Also, he was tripping on acid in this performance.. i thought he did a great job. He's so different.. Name one frontman who resembles shannon completely.. :D Blind melon is by far the best band in the entire world. <3

  • his voice always reminded me of a subdued janis joplin

  • his voice and looks... but not subdued at all.

  • his voice a little... but looks?? shannon is fucking perfect (and i'm a hetero male with a man crush but that aside....:) janis is not attractive at all. so thumbs down to you my friend :)

  • in my country marijuana is legal :P

  • What country are you from where weed is legal you lucky S.O.B...?

  • the netherlands

  • Heheh me too :P

  • lucky !!!

  • they sure don't make them like they used to.

  • He looks a bit like ozzy when he's stumbling around stage. :D

  • what was the song before paper scratcher the one were he sings no dont leave me

  • yeah i know...i have no idea what it is someone please answer...i'm guessing he just subed in different lyrics and the band was just jamming out

  • It's "I Wonder", although, as mentioned, he's vamping lyrics.

  • thats wut i thought

  • I could totally do without that annoying chick making the announcement in the beginning. Does she says "Yall" at the end there? Wish someone would upload this without the pre-commentary.

  • Travis Warren, man has he got some BIG shoes to fill...what a fuckin artists. RIP Richard Shannon Hoon

  • even if hes trippin out he still is so fucking awesome! rip shannon!!!

  • god damn i love this band! i hate it sooooo much that i JUST descovered them this last summer. R.I.P Shannon! and yeah... im pretty sure he is on acid, or shrooms, but proly acid. and im sure its possible to do that well on acid, ive done it 5 times in my life and it is fun, but if u try it, DO NOT over do it!

  • He was on acid, good call. And if you've done it you know that singing and songs in general flow so much better while your triping. I give my best performances while tripping balls, as did Shannon here.

  • ya i just tripped the other night n tried singing and just the feel and everything was amazing!!! then i went n played guitar n boy was that sum fun! lol

  • yea man me also

    i usually do the herb(marijuana)

    or i trip on some salvia before a show

    ive did shroomz before and it works amazing

    i havent tried acid yet

    i have to do it =D

    Shannon(RIP) was fucking amazing

    too bad i was only 2 when he died =[

    but hey his music still lives in great depth for me =]

  • Would it have been better if you were 3.

    Furthermore: drugs are great, sometimes. Do them, don't advertize them.

  • Marijuana is the only thing i advertise because i think it should be legal.

    and thats not even my comment

    my brother posted it

    ive did enough research on marijuana to know that it is not very harmful or not harmful at all to the body, thats the only "drug" that i do, though i have tried others, i did not enjoy them nor did i want to get addicted

    hope this clears some stuff up bro

    PeAcE> man

  • i loved him, with his long hair and all!!

  • man

    blind melon is soo good

    its not fair all of the good bands singers die!

    ITS JUST WRONG!!!!

    rip shannon hoon, kurt cobain, layne stayle, elliot smith, brad nowell, jimi hendrix, jim morrison, and janis joplin

  • Well said :(

  • no john lennon?

  • i cud havenamed alot more but those are the first ones i think of

  • makes sense

  • I feel sad whenever I hear Blind Melon because I loved them so much. I had tickets to see them at Roseland in NYC and I was counting down the days. Then when I heard the news on the radio that Shannon died, I cried. His voice was like an angel that spoke to you during sad times. It still does. RIP Shannon

  • Wow thats a really sad story

  • OMG!! That's really sad...

    I discovered BLIND MELON like a year ago and i felt deeply in love with them. And everytime i remember that SHANNON is dead i feel sad and angry...he was amazing!! ALL THE GUYS ARE AMAZING!!

  • the show was in new orleans not nyc

  • they know what killed him cause they did a tox. report on his autopsy. Which said he died of cocaine. what more do you need to know? And many upon many performers perform on drugs like lsd and mushrooms and plenty of other crazy shit

  • Its weird man, ive done cocain so many times (not anymore) and I couldnt ever imagine it killing me.

  • and my mind is a mind that i have come to know....

  • It seems like he was on something magic during this set, but I think he just had that deep of a passion for his music. What a shame. And yeah your right man whats with all the pits and all that crazy crowd! If there is a Woodstock 09 lets make sure Blind Melon is on the bill!!!! RIP shannon hoon

  • some say he was on lsd, but i don't know how he could perform so well on lsd..i hate when people talk shit..Shannon was so great..r.i.p.

  • He was on LSD during the show. He admitted it.

  • He was on acid during Woodstock 94. In the middle of the show, in between songs, he told his manager. He was 3 months sober until Woodstock 94.. and this show is what started him back up on his path of destruction :( its so damn heart breaking. I miss him so much!! R.I.P Shannon

  • Compassion!!!  BEAUTIFUL!

  • wow what a solo by rogers

  • I met shanoon in nottingham Rock city he was a fuckin nutter not shy and totally out of it

    Hell of night, to play to 100 people and the stage was made from beer crates and planks of wood, next day he support Guns and Roses in front of 60,000

  • I feel that Blind melon belonged at Woodstock 94, but the audience didn't.

  • It's hard when you mix different musical crowds. After them was Cypress Hill followed by Rollins Band, so there were prob a bunch of folks waiting to get rowdy.

    I was there, was musically adventurous, but just didnt know who they were yet, and so caught the Cranberries on the other stage, instead. They were great, but I clearly made a big mistake, haha. Oh well, can't dwell on past mistakes, only learn for the future. RIP Shannon.

  • Up front maybe (see my other comment), but watch the Soup video. At the beginning and end, the crowd is definitely giving them love.

  • @R0YB0T those of us like you and i belonged so much more in that audience. i was born too late.

  • @itsokaytotrip same :/

  • Does it matter how he died or that he gave us some bad ass tunes. He was a great person if you have seen behind the music episode on MTV. He loved his drugs and that was his downfall. Some of us get off of it and others die. He is fine now. Who cares how he died, he is no longer singing us the sweet tunes he once did.

  • i know i miss him, :(

  • U two need to get a room....totslly gsy

  • (wikka) WTF is your problem? R U a Catholic? It's been 10 yrs since SH left us perhaps you should go clean your own yard before you obsess on how dirty your neighbor's is! Fingerpointing asswipe! RIP SH not one day passes we don't hear your voice!

  • He was extremely drunk here.

    Not that being a total fucking druggie (and this is coming from a druggie) was helping much either. They got a little money and just went balls to the wall with their drug appetites on tour.

    Real shame, there was real genius here.

  • dude you are such a bad ass ... no really ... hahaha not

  • ...what?

    How was my comment in any way implying I was a "bad ass".

    I was just stating fact, sorry if that offends you.

  • ya'll know he's wearing his girlfriend's dress and makeup, right? Anyway, he's hopping all the fuck over the place. Poor guy, he must have looked back at this after the show and thought, "Ohhhh fuckkkk...". It sucks that he died, especially with the birth of his daughter in '95 :'(

  • shannons trippin you know it i know it and dont deny it, and dont fucking riducule my comment fucking cunts

  • this is clearly showing why he died so young, all of you stupid fucking druggies, im only gonna say this once, if you dont stop, you will most likely die. it wasnt fun when kurt cobain died, it wasnt fun when jim morrison died, it wasnt funny when jimi hendrix died, and it sure as hell wasnt fun when shannon hoon died, SO STOP FUCKING SAYING THAT YOU LIKE THAT THEY DID DRUGS. no one here cares. it doesnt make you any cooler, in fact u just look like an idiot when u brag about getting high

  • Jimi Hendrix didn't die because of drugs, get your fuckin facts straight asshole

  • yea he did you stupid cunt, he got high off of heroin and vomited, but since he was so high and couldnt move he choked on his own vomit

    obviously, u need to get ur facts straight

  • fuck off you fucking idoit he ate 2 sleeping pills and drank two bottles of wine. EAT A DICK!!!!

  • are u a fucking moron?!?! if u havent noticed sleeping pills are fucking DRUGS!!!! stupid shit

  • sleeping pills are a long shot from heroin cock sucker, and he died from sufficating because of the wine. eat shit and die

  • he did choke on his vomit

  • HookedOnHooka is a tool .... can I get a who-ha-two-times-tuesday anyone?

  • didn't he OD on coke?

  • to HookedOnHooka, they realy arent that much better man, in fact barbituate withraw can kill u, where as opiate withdraw can't, it'll suck ass but the withdraw itself wont kill you. so in SOME WAYS at least, no, heroin ist that much worse.

  • The point is he didn't die because of the drugs,the alcohol is what killed him.

  • how do yu know what exactly killed him?

    i'm curious cause they never say much 'cept that he died of a massive cocaine overdose..

    i really would like to know more about what actually happened to Shannon.

  • we were talking about hendrix

  • I saw them at Reading festival in August 1995. They played at like 1.00pm in the afternoon and Shannon wore this dress and was completely fucked. I honestly thought that he was gonna die up there.

  • It breaks my heart

  • that was to ksoetes

  • i was at this shit! just to the left of the mtv tower in the background.i was 18 and where the fuck does the time go?

  • shuffle can to can nobody really gives a damn!ive dropped so much acid to this band back in the day.miss em,and my mind,lol.

  • Amazing band, amazing era of music...

  • you're shit

  • RIP Shannon

  • I love this song, one of my favorites. Shannon was definately unique. RIP Shannon.

  • also the way she says "Thank god our souls will be released" god that is so powerful I bet we made some melons that day!

  • LOFL!!! The way "she" says? HIS name was Shannon Hoon... go check HIM out. HE was pretty good! LOL

  • you idiot. don't comment if you have no idea what's going on. how powerful can it be when you do not know anything about the context of the song. you probably think "thank god our souls will be released" is so powerful because that is the only verse you can make out.

  • how about not being so negative, maybe point the person in the right direction instead?

  • what the fuck is zukaro anyway?? Anyway this is my favorite of woodstock 94 because everyone rocks out and shit in the crowd!!!!

  • Zuchero=Sugar, was at that time some italian guitar player a little bit famous.

  • roger stevens (the guitar player) said that shannon was like an open wound,and u know i think the same

    i miss him!!

  • whether he is the jim morrison or janis joplin of his time....he is now jammin with them on the big stage.....Gog Bless You.....

    Miss and Love You Shannon......Nico is beautiful....I know u know.....

  • true brother!!

  • whoever said he was more like Jim they were right supposedly Shannon peed on some people like Jim but I know I will thumbs down but it is true anyway I LOVE SHANNON!!

  • no -'s allowed shannon hoon rules!!!!!

  • ditto SERGIO.......well put....LOVE watching these videos and at the same time they BREAK MY HEART...I would give anything to hear THE VOICE again yet I realize it was "no longer needed here" RIP shannon,you broke our hearts but mended them at the same time!

    One thing 4 certain! U will never be duplicated

  • whats the name of that song in the beginning?

  • I Wonder

  • An Angel who sang on this earth had to go back to sing in heaven. Peace Shannon and thanks that you sang for us. R I P

  • that songs about a crazy homeless dude that used to walk around the neighborhood scratching pieces of paper

  • I live in New Orleans not far from where the band was recording and ultimately where Shannon was "RELEASED"..Pleases dont focus and enlighten his Drug use in this performence, but hear w/ each word, every head thrust, the TALENT and PURE heart of this man.....
