When the M in MTV still stood for MUSIC. Man these were the days, I swear! I LOVE that I grew up listening...being privileged to listen to Blind Melon, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Candlebox, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, etc...Music will never be this way again. Thank God for TH-cam and old Cd's! ;)
JennSDMF1979 I hear ya on that. I think I was born a few years too late. I'm only 24 but THIS is the kind of music I like, I have an older brother that I shared a bedroom with until I was 13 when moved out so because of that THIS is the kind of music I grew up listening to and still listen to today. Unlike the crap that comes out today
One of the greatest songs of the 90's. Just a simple riff, simple lyrics, and something about the lighter side of life that we should all be able to relate to at some point. RIP Shannon
+Zetsubou Aaron Thank you for your attentiveness to my comment. It feels nice to be pat on the back. I just happened to agree with +Shaun Gaetz comment. I was never a fan of the top 40 shit either but how could I not admit that it did once upon a time give airplay to great music and bands. As far as I'm concerned, Primus, NIN, Mudhoney, Radiohead are not that "POP". Interest on these bands led me to other bands which are played even less therefore, I was given the chance. However, I really must agree with you with me being out of touch...you have no idea. Say "Hi" to your mum for me!.
Oh my god.....I want to cry every time I hear him sing. :/ They sound even more beautiful singing live just like this. Calm and collected. It just calms me and makes me forget everything that ever bothered me in my whole life....
Absolutely love this kids vibe ... I'm a lot older then him at the time and really dont like this era but damn he resonates and i just luv hearing him. Dont know what it is and dont understand why ... I believe he was once in a lifetime talent.
I wouldn't say he's a genius, but whether anyone wants to admit it or not this hippie dude left us with a great song that'll live on. I'm glad for that :D
do you remember? do you rember driving to college in your EH civic in 1999? with this song quietly in the background as you chat about girls and your shitty part time retail store job to your buddy nick in the passenger seat. i dont, because in 99 i was 3. but i think thats the idea mr regular is trying to get across.
wow there is nothing like the 90's!!! I'm still discovering phenomenal music from this time period, while I can only find a handful of decent bands from the last decade.
So I'm fifteen and I heard this song on this wonderful radio statiion, on the edge. Just wanted to tell you that people will constantly look for music. Music never ages!!
What? They did make it big? They have a few hits and I think most ppl know of them at least in my area. They just stopped growing because the lead singer died of a coke overdose.
So many people whining about how music sucks now. Obviously, you havent been digging deep enough. Good music is still present today, you just have dig a bit deeper. And the nice thing about music is that it is timeless. So, all the old music that you enjoyed will always be with you. So in a sense, you're never without good music.
SiphiliSx everyone has always said that lol. Have u heard them do me and Bobby mcgee?? it's on youtube ..they did a little as a warm up, but also as a joke because of him supposedly sounding so much like Joplin 😀😉
I honestly think the government killed Shannon or had something to do with his death. R.I.P Shannon we love and miss you, you made such a huge impact on my life and many other people.
I never cease being amazed....amused....fascinated by ^^^^^ ooooohhh^^^^^ most of what is ^ and ^ what is not! ALWAYS be amazed/amused/fascinated. Thanks for being you........................
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watching the puddles gather rain And all I can do Is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view But it's not sane It's not sane I just want someone to say to me Oh, oh, oh, oh I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made) And I don't understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that there's no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape Escape Escape Escape All I can say is that my life is pretty plain You don't like my point of view and I'm insane It's not sane It's not sane I just want someone to
Those artists with true talent are always taken from us too early. R.I.P Shannon, Jimmy, Dime, Ron, Randy, Cliff, Peter, and all the others who have left the world a poorer place for their absence,
I will always love blind melon!!Their music has a great influence in my life.. thank you shannon hoon, and you have truly written your words in the face of today...You will live forever in our hearts!
I love this song, and miss this era, such great music, and so peaceful... Makes me sad to see him so full of life, but it also make me thankful that he shared what he could before he was gone.
All Of blind Mellons CDs were amazing, , aLL FILLied with deep and meaningfull lyrics I could relate to my own life. On ther charts they may have been a one hit wonder , But evry cd they put outwas like a greatest hits, Ican listen to all of them from begining to end
What a great tune .Saw them at The Mean Fiddler Harlesdon NW London in the 90,s .Live they had it .This stuff can,t be measured.Don,t listen to anyone who thinks they know what path good sounds will or will not take.There just pissin in the wind,they don,t know it but they are .
I miss the 90's too bro no wars on two fronts, no worries about money, just sitting back and smoking down listening to great bands. yeah those were the days
I just meant that it's something simple to remember and one can pretty much sing along to the whole thing after hearing it about 3 times. Prime example. I remember hearing it when I was 6 when it came out in 1995 a couple times, and didn't hear it again until 2002 and still remembered it word for word.
I remember seeing this performance in 93 when it first aired. It was when I was still in High School, I think I went out and bought the cassette tape the next day!
I live in Indiana and am like 30 minutes away where he grew up. I actually know tons of people who grew up with him, and it kills me to know i'd never be able to meet him now. I'm going to his grave sometime next week. =( R.I.P.
so much talent came out of Lafayette, IN in the 80's...Shannon Hoon, Izzy Stradlin, Axl Rose - they all went to high school together! Shannon had an awesome voice. This song is definitely in my top 5 favs

Man .... that voice ...
My heart melts when I listen to Blind melon. But my heart sinks when I think how Shannon past away. Touched many people for sure xx
Great performance! These were the days when MTV was still worth watching.
One of the greatest songs of the 90's. Just a simple riff, simple lyrics, and something about the lighter side of life that we should all be able to relate to at some point.
RIP Shannon
This version always brings me tears. So pure and beautiful..
he so soulful. I haven't seen all the old live music in live I forgot. look at that talent so effortlessly.
one of the best voice's in music history , honestly this could never be replaced with and sound better
This has got to be one of his best performances! His voice is so clear and clean! He had a magnificent voice!
I love how shannon always plays with the lyrics live.
i had the pleasure of seeing them in 1993 at the Milton Keynes bowl supporting Guns and Roses. - splendid.
once upon time in a time not so far away, music was real, it touched our souls, made us smile on those gloomy days. What happened to these days?

¡Qué buen tema!
I love this song!
#BlindMelon #NoRain
Melon was a welcome relief for many of us from the grungefest that overwhelmed rock in the 90's. It was refreshing for me personally.
Amo essa musica *-*
Oh my god.....I want to cry every time I hear him sing. :/ They sound even more beautiful singing live just like this. Calm and collected. It just calms me and makes me forget everything that ever bothered me in my whole life....
Shannon makes it look so effortless.
So beautiful 💕 Most underrated singer from 90s, along with Perry Ferrell ❤️
Que perron es escucharla en vivo, totalmente acústico, Una maravilla de los 90's
Absolutely love this kids vibe ... I'm a lot older then him at the time and really dont like this era but damn he resonates and i just luv hearing him. Dont know what it is and dont understand why ... I believe he was once in a lifetime talent.
beautiful voice beautiful man..shame hes gone way too soon..rip.shannon hoon
So so so worth a good look & listen.....and a heart-hug around this whole scene. Thanks for being you, Dylan.
I miss the fraaakin 90s
Dont we all
So do I.
I wouldn't say he's a genius, but whether anyone wants to admit it or not this hippie dude left us with a great song that'll live on. I'm glad for that :D
Gone too soon...but his stamp on music will continue...
always
I wish there was more from this performance....BLIND MELON RULES!!!
RegularCarReviews brought me here after referencing this sound specifically acoustic in his video
do you remember? do you rember driving to college in your EH civic in 1999? with this song quietly in the background as you chat about girls and your shitty part time retail store job to your buddy nick in the passenger seat.
i dont, because in 99 i was 3. but i think thats the idea mr regular is trying to get across.
Yes. This. Except I was in highschool, and it was 2000, and a 3.8 Thunderbird, and my buddy's name was Scott.
same
BROWN
likewise
the fact that a blind melon video has almost 2 millons views makes me happy. it deserve even more,but it's something at least :)
WHAT A SINGER rip!
wow there is nothing like the 90's!!! I'm still discovering phenomenal music from this time period, while I can only find a handful of decent bands from the last decade.
I love that song 😘💋
dedreia brito if u love this, u should check out their album Soup..in its entirety. So good.
Amy Hi Amy,thanks for contact me. I will check this.
Andréa Brito no problem!!! :) You will love it!! Thanks for all the love, sweetheart!
So I'm fifteen and I heard this song on this wonderful radio statiion, on the edge. Just wanted to tell you that people will constantly look for music. Music never ages!!
It still boggles my mind how this band never made it big. They were so brilliant.
What? They did make it big? They have a few hits and I think most ppl know of them at least in my area. They just stopped growing because the lead singer died of a coke overdose.
No words to describe those vocals, I try and try but can't imitate. Grande Shannon!
To all the great s. Jim Morrison ,Jimi hendrix,Jerry garcia,Kurt cobain ,shannon hoon ,layne staley,Scott Weiland we all feel your pain
And now David Bowie :(
+Rob Healer David Bowie died of cancer ....
I know I know, I was just adding to the list of the greats
What about Doug Hopkins from Gin Blossoms? He wrote "Hey Jealousy", Lost Horizons" and "Found Out About You".
bunch of bullshit ... whats pain good for ? who would want that ?
I can't believe this shit is LIVE. Its so perfect. What a voice. What a band. I'll always be coming back to watch this performace. It blows me away!
at :55 he smiles because of the harmony. only a person who sings understands that feeling
So many people whining about how music sucks now.
Obviously, you havent been digging deep enough. Good music is still present today, you just have dig a bit deeper.
And the nice thing about music is that it is timeless. So, all the old music that you enjoyed will always be with you. So in a sense, you're never without good music.
lol, was she drunk or high at the beginning?
just the way she said: "hahahaha, we have blind melon"... it was funny
May the lord of heaven look down on Blind Melon smiling with love and happiness. 🎉
He sounds like Janis Joplin. Creepy.
SiphiliSx everyone has always said that lol. Have u heard them do me and Bobby mcgee?? it's on youtube ..they did a little as a warm up, but also as a joke because of him supposedly sounding so much like Joplin 😀😉
70's and the 90's were the best eras of music!!! hands down!!!
I honestly think the government killed Shannon or had something to do with his death. R.I.P Shannon we love and miss you, you made such a huge impact on my life and many other people.
do you really think that
I hope you dont really think that
jmaune1419 LOL
jmaune1419 Just like there are those who say the government killed Kurt Cobain.
matt liable No, just no. All of you conspiracy theorists think that you're so clever.
ive been looking for this SONG for almost 3 years!! didnt know that NO RAIN is the title!! its FREAKIN AWSOME!!!
The girl is really cute but she's really into shannon
He was such a great singer. He really sang with feel.
I never cease being amazed....amused....fascinated by ^^^^^ ooooohhh^^^^^ most of what is ^ and ^ what is not! ALWAYS be amazed/amused/fascinated. Thanks for being you........................
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the puddles gather rain
And all I can do
Is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane
It's not sane
I just want someone to say to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
Escape
Escape
Escape
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view and I'm insane
It's not sane
It's not sane
I just want someone to
Those artists with true talent are always taken from us too early. R.I.P Shannon, Jimmy, Dime, Ron, Randy, Cliff, Peter, and all the others who have left the world a poorer place for their absence,
I think that was the calmest performance I've ever seen. Shannon looks so at ease. What a guy.
I will always love blind melon!!Their music has a great influence in my life.. thank you shannon hoon, and you have truly written your words in the face of today...You will live forever in our hearts!
what an incredible voice. chills!!
I shed a single tear after listening to that beautiful solo :')
I love this song, and miss this era, such great music, and so peaceful...
Makes me sad to see him so full of life, but it also make me thankful that he shared what he could before he was gone.
Great choir within the band. Its a good live version of a great song. Thanks for upload
his voice is just incredible
My thumbs now ache from the Blind Melon thumbs up spree I've been on today. God, I love this band and miss Shannon.
One of the best song in my list. The face of the bee-girl coming back to me in my dreams.
Beautiful song.... Still one of my top (if not the top) favs of all time!!!!! Love,love,love.....
All Of blind Mellons CDs were amazing, , aLL FILLied with deep and meaningfull lyrics I could relate to my own life. On ther charts they may have been a one hit wonder , But evry cd they put outwas like a greatest hits, Ican listen to all of them from begining to end
Taking a fatty bong hit for Shannon's memory! R.I.P!!!!!!! Your words have rocked my soul forever! Wish we could go back to '94!!!!!!!!!
This live version always stuck out in my head, maybe more so than the video. I loved the video, but this is amazing.
They were really bringing the 70s back, its really sad what happened to the lead singer. Great talented band, much more than a one-hit wonder.
Excelente canção. Saudades do vocalista do grupo.
What a great tune .Saw them at The Mean Fiddler Harlesdon NW London in the 90,s .Live they had it .This stuff can,t be measured.Don,t listen to anyone who thinks they know what path good sounds will or will not take.There just pissin in the wind,they don,t know it but they are .
I must have watched this 100 times in a few days!
nice to hear their music keeps living on, even by the younger generation :)
My momma was born in 1974 and I just introduced this to her. Family jam session.
hard to believe i was in high school when this came out now i'm almost 50, old enough to be a grandfather. where the hell does the time go
a tortured soul that brought many joy........thank you shannon
I miss the 90's too bro no wars on two fronts, no worries about money, just sitting back and smoking down listening to great bands. yeah those were the days
always in my memory Shannon Moon.
this song rules and keeps me alive.
i think blind melon has the number one best voive and guitar in all of rock and roll hands down
Proper amazing song!!!! Love the lyrics. It's me all over :-)
Right on, dude. Shannon and his amazing voice are so missed.
I just meant that it's something simple to remember and one can pretty much sing along to the whole thing after hearing it about 3 times.
Prime example. I remember hearing it when I was 6 when it came out in 1995 a couple times, and didn't hear it again until 2002 and still remembered it word for word.
He was so amazing and his life too short 💔
beautiful voice beautiful man..shame hes gone way too soon..rip.shannon hoon
Most underrated band of all time, in my humble opinion.
wow this is beautiful
懐かしい！！
大好きでした。
シャノン可愛かったですね☆
i love this song, reminds me of my brother in law who passed away he loved this song and blind melon..yeah this is when mtv was watchable now it sux
This song was on The O.C.! Perfect!
he was such a great singer and it was so effortless! he just had a natural good voice
2024 this song still goes so hard. Rip Shannon
One of the greatest one hit wonders
I remember seeing this performance in 93 when it first aired.
It was when I was still in High School, I think I went out and bought the cassette tape the next day!
I live in Indiana and am like 30 minutes away where he grew up. I actually know tons of people who grew up with him, and it kills me to know i'd never be able to meet him now. I'm going to his grave sometime next week. =( R.I.P.
I wish i could have seen these Live. Great Band. Great Albums. What a waste. Love the voice Shannon.
What a great tune and Band.Lucky to see them play in the Mean Fiddler Harlesden NW london in the 90,s
Rest in peace, thanks for the great music.
i miss the 90s..great band..beautiful boy..shannon...you are gone and so is my youth..
Damn 90's band always the great..nostalgia
so much talent came out of Lafayette, IN in the 80's...Shannon Hoon, Izzy Stradlin, Axl Rose - they all went to high school together! Shannon had an awesome voice. This song is definitely in my top 5 favs
saw these guys last week at the fair, they were pretty good live!
one of the best songs that i've evr heard
the best live one on youtube so far from this song!!!
Beautiful. This is true talent
awesome. saw them supporting lenny kravitz in the early 90's at sheffield arena in the uk. superb. wicked voice.
First time I heard of Shannon was on G 'n R's Use Your Illusion (did some backup vocals). Fell in love with BM after that. RIP Shannon.
beautiful.x
