Blind Melon - Oakland 1992 - Part 1

[AliceMudGarden4life]

they were all fucked up... the same as alice in chains who played the same night along with ozzy osbourne..

[MaXCKY]

8:05 felt like the realest moment of my life, got dammmn

[jm1072]

CT rocking the sweet Tele.

[weblogik]

super underrated band that flew a little bit under the radar due the insane amount of good music to be out at the time...  but just as good as the rest :(

[gyselboy]

if i could trade every show that i have seen or will see for one more blind melon concert with shannon I would do it in a heart beat! to be honest they ruined concerts for me cause I will never see anyone as great as they were ever again.

[FreeJigsawEarth]

just like i dont know what it's like to be in jerry garcia, or jimi hendrix, or janis joplin's presence. he was one of the greats, taken away too young like they all seem to be.

[FreeJigsawEarth]

it just makes me so sad that sung my feelings so loud for everyone to hear is gone and that i was too young to experience it in person for myself. i mean "no rain" is one of those songs i felt like i knew note for note the first time i heard it. but i was little when it was playing, but i never got to know what it was like to be in their presence.

[FreeJigsawEarth]

shannon!!!

it's days like this, when i find myself arguing with my own friends about something as silly as morals (which we learned in preschool if we wanna be honest about it) that i find myself finding so much sympathy with the things he sings about. and the fact that the band makes me feeel so much speaks miles for them as well.

[NoRulesInNam]

I like watching the early clips of them... Shannon looked terrible towards the end of his life, which is very saddening.

[dahfshx]

man, I miss Shannon so much... he was great!!!

[SOB90]

Explosive!!

[iHateSmellyPeople]

this guy was the definition of 'fucking awesome'.

[ABFan19]

if i had the chance to go back in time only for a day, it would be a day of getting fucked up, and going to see blind melon perform with shannon... we miss you man...and if i see you on the other side, ill have one ready to burn

[johnmichael601]

@ABFan19 this is ridiculous and i know you could probably care less. BUT i just accidently voted your comment down when in fact, i too would love to fire one up with ole Shannon. hope to see ya'll there.

[rakebackacct]

[sacredcow024]

Ozzy, Chains, and Blind Melon same show? WOW!

[kemtrale]

[reverend07]

[tehGmoney]

RIP Hoon

RIP Shannon Hoon

[tempsanity]

So true mate.

[bon3z0r]

Of course they all cant come close to Melon, or AiC/Mad Season but still...good bands

[vegastr0n]

Shannon's high as hell here-but still a fucking incredible performance(as usual, from Mr.Hoon.)

R.I.P.!

*the drug comments, were not out of dis-respect, just truth, so no flaming please. I'm a huge Hoon-fan.

Thanks a lot for posting this, I've had a hard time finding videos of BM live.

[PJMAKEL]

Buy a DVD ;)

[fasterdisco]

You can't get Blind Melon DVDs outside of Region 1. :(

tho then again, zarconan is apparently from the U.S., so i guess they can.

[prettywhnsedated]
