[@mistabook]

INSANELY charismatic frontman, and what a voice. I'm 100% certain that this band's best work was ahead of them. It's so sad that he died when he did.

[@bootlegapples]

his voice...one of the greats

[@fernywings8922]

Nothing else comes close so unique

[@israelperez8389]

The most underrated band ever :(. Shannon was at same level than Cobain, Staley & Weiland

[@philjoy6635]

Way ahead cock

[@ajmorrison6368]

Cobain was kind of a shit singer. Totally right about Layne and Scott though!

[@aarontataryn3623]

No one could touch Staley. No one.

[@GirthQuake3]

Cornell?

[@patrickdearing4083]

Hoon & Cobain

[@robertlogan4652]

Without a doubt the best version of one of the best songs of my youth. I'm shocked by how many people can only think of no rain. No rain isn't even in their top five songs. Hoon pours his soul out and it's a beautiful haunting masterpiece that I am so happy I just discovered.

[@danielvandusen5724]

No Rain made me write this band off for some reason. I really couldn't care less about Blind Melon after hearing it. But when this song came out, it made me do a double take at BM and caused me to give them a second chance and I'm so glad I did.

[@weirddadandsoncocobeans1062]

Wow, what an epic performance of this song. Talk about someone who putting their heart and soul into the music. Soup is one of my favorite albums of all time. I miss this band, and what a voice Shannon Hoon had.

[@djr4840]

Shannon killed this, and band is right on point. Damn man

[@djr4840]

Furthermore, i take this as not being accepted, understood and coping with the way people people perceive you to be.

[@AraShiNoMiwaKo]

That ending was breathtaking. Amazing performance. They were at the top of their game here. I don't think it could get much better than this honestly. The price we paid for having this kind of perfection was Shannon death, a happy guy can't perform like this, no way.

[@user-user-user-user.]

This is the band firing on all cylinders! The guitar is sharp and jagged, the bass booms and the drummer is absolutely killing it. Shannon is energized, invigorated and passionate. This version of Blond Melon could slay any other live act of the 90’s.

[@Papachongo1972]

One of my favorite live versions of anything

[@SuperStrik9]

I remember watching this on MuchMusic when it originally aired. I had just started high school at the time. Soup is one of the best and most underrated albums of the 90s.

[@candlewitch]

I personally think that this is an excellent live version😘😍

[@mommyof3_908]

I agree. It was very dramatic and deep...he was close to death. The band knew it as well as the audience. He was an angel as he is now.

[@candlewitch]

Amy Cohen yeah I know and agree with you too, one of their best songs, the lyrics😄

[@blacktwofight11]

[@justinbenoit4]

[@kevinhash8611]

Shannon Hoon (and Blind Melon of course, but I come for the words and the voice) wrote 3 of the best, most dynamic, most honest, raw, and effortlessly poetic albums of all time. Almost every song a classic, or a gut punch, or an invitation to consider what he saw and the fucked up places a plummeting mood will land you. Sleepyhouse. Walk. St. Abdrew's Fall, Galaxy. Toes Across The Foor. Soup. Soup. Soup. Change. Vernie. Mouthful of Cavities. Car seat. Glitch. The Pusher. I Wonder. Drive. Time. It's an injustice that when I mention Blind Melon some ignorant asshole goes "Oh Yeah, No Rain!"

[@mikefields4136]

We are 100% on the same page...I liked the first record, but man when soup dropped, it was a masterpiece

[@paolo-n2000]

Blind Melon were an outstanding band!! I was lucky to see them live a couple times in San Francisco. Saw them 10 days before Shannon passed away! Great show, but Shannon was so HIGH!!! I've never witnessed a lead singer so high like that on stage. He still sounded great, but he was on another planet that night! Slim's (San Francisco) October 8,1995....

[@user-ys9fg4ol9s]

It is by far one of the best if not the best songs of the 1990s, I was not a No Rain fan , but Galaxie ranks up there with the best, My two favorite bands from the 90s Blind Melon and #1 Faith No More. However there is no doubt that Shannon Hoon is singing his heart out here live. And the band is tight and powefuk

I didn't give this band nearly enough credit back in the day because of the no rain tune, which wasn't a bad song per se... but because of this tune I am now regretting my youthful insouciance.

[@jasoncinema]

As am I. I was and am such a huge fan of ‘90s alternative rock and grunge. But around 1995 (when the Anthology was released), I fell knee deep into The Beatles. I discovered this song for the very first time around 2017, and I am still kicking my own ass for missing out on their post “No Rain” output. ESPECIALLY this song!
