blind melon toes across the floor - intimate & Interactive

Man no joke, I must have listened to this song like 3000 times and I still think its the most intense music video on youtube right now.. he felt what he was singing SO MUCH.. I miss him real bad.

[@jameliamegs1]

Same ...

[@daveyboy8907]

Yep Hoon is Badass..🍻

Yes that's called crafting music at that level for yourself and delivering it right

[@SyphexGaming]

If you know anything about damage, you fully understand why this whole set is as important as laynes last MTV.

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

Yup !! The difference is Shannon didn't know he was going to die , he was so happy about that little girl of his. Layne knew it was going to happen just a matter of when . Layne had pretty much given up on himself . I really miss them both ! I think in a year or two Shannon would have branched off to do his own thing .

[@SyphexGaming]

@@MeLoNHeAd00 sad too lose two great and kind hearted souls. They both had so much left to do.

[@clayturner4566]

greatest of all time. PERIOD...once you go MELON, nothing you've listened to prior compares.

I get teary eyed when I watch the Intimate & Interactive concert. When it gets to "Galaxie" I always break down ballin' like a baby. Now I can only listen to Blind Melon when I feel like death. Death had already consumed Shannon Hoon by this point & it is very noticable. I am very fortunate to be alive and off the opiates.

[@joewalker8331]

Shannon is so hyped, he can't wait for the riff

[@srujan00]

it's the cocaine

[@jClayT6]

Still the greatest of all time ...an itch that only Melon can scratch.

[@andraslippai3169]

yepp

[@luciaschulzgarcia5465]

I feel him so alone, when he sings he is totally abstracted, with overflowing feelings, his gestures and his broken voice makes me feel his force and a point of madness, when I listen this song I think that I can feel what he feels!! But in other songs his voice is so sweet, it's magic to me this guy...

[@MC-kh6oe]

same feeling here

[@sagiteerez8315]

כל כך מדויק, מרגישה בדיוק אותו דבר, בשיר הזה הדמעות יורדות לבד

[@michaelpal5807]

@Kevin Ross I truly believe Shannon knew his destiny Seems like the drugs stole his soul. He had no control & love to be high. The drugs made him crazy near the end of his life. Making the video Galaxy he freaked out all his band mates. Sad story and ending for such a beautiful talented soul. ❤️❤️❤️

[@pgcenterprises5598]

@@michaelpal5807 True, and sadly this was filmed 2 weeks before his death. The toll the cocaine took on him is so obvious in this video.

[@maebandy]

@@pgcenterprises5598 I thought I was the only one in these comments that had that pain in their chest watching it.

[@McMagpie]

I know there is a lot of love being said about shannon but I also want to acknowledge just how amazing every band member was! Glen plays the drums with insane fills throughout the whole song! Brad is on point with those bass harmonics and vocals! Chris makes such a badass riff in the chorus! And then you got Roger's destroying it on lead guitar! This band was so in tune with each other, and not something you see very often!!

[@paulinabauer]

Yessss the entire band is TIGHT. They're all masters at what they do... they're a severely underrated band as a whole

[@jb-yi4di]

Damn I wish we had some more albums with Shannon. Would be interesting to see what he would have done next

[@McMagpie]

@@jb-yi4di I actually think he would have done a solo album or 2. Definitely would have been interesting!

[@miboogaroo]

So right. Some bands you can be just listening to the vocal but with the Melon you enjoy all the instruments and their unique brilliance.

[@paolo-n2000]

Agree! The band has so much talent and were incredibly tight unit! I was always surprised they didn't or couldn't find a new singer and continue to play as Blind Melon in Shannon's memory....They were an excellent band!

[@EricMurphy410]

Drives me insane not being able to have more music from this legendary vocalist. RIP Shannon.

[@dinab7852]

The absolute greatest live performance I've seen. Better than any of the 33 Grateful Dead shows I've been blessed to see. Intense energy, a glimpse of his greatness amongst a string of shows where his voice had seemed strained. Brilliance.

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

Shannon has a grateful dead feel to his music.

[@sitkoh]

I sure miss our dear Shannon Hoon. I love you, Shannon, rest in peace.

[@intothemusic7121]

What a great moment in rock music history was this! I adore Blind Melon. Soup above all. So don't get me wrong if I'd like everybody to notice how much the great Shannon (secretly?) admired another great performer. Following 1:35 everybody please notice some classic Micheal Stipe move. On the other end, R.E.M. great songs and success was the thing that started all the 90's rock band explosion to fame.

How is Shannon Hoon’s voice not considered as “top notch” in all these “most difficult” voice lines to achieve videos?

[@robcasekennedy]

"So tell me why am I to lie? If I'm holding firm and feel the right - to lie beside this dog of mine and let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind." Wow Shannon....I don't know where you were going with that one brother but I still love to sing it with you......R.I.P.

[@beford628]

A dog is man’s best friend. So Shannon’s “dog” were drugs. The perverted thought is his best friend sticking him with its needle. The hunter’s dog called god refers to the constellation above us, or the heavens above us where people find their new best friend, the biblical god, and get over their addictions. 🤷🏼‍♂️ For what it’s worth, that’s how I interpret the lyrics.
