blind melon has to be one of the most underrated bands of all time,, wish they hadnt been so short lived. R.I.P. shannon hoon---you have one of the most pure, and most beautiful voices ive ever heard
2:55 is the most amazing part of this live version.. those backup vocals/ plucking of the guitar is unbelievable. I could repeat this version for days. Especially the last 2 minutes. Rip Shannon
You gotta hand it to Glen right here.. the ticka ticka was so important.. and his arm had to have been burning.. to keep the drive going.. bravo Glen! Very impressed
I had Thanksgiving dinner with him and family Vernell sister. he played acoustic on the front porch songs on never heard before I had just was finishing High School. 1990! love you Vernell thank you for the good news! Grady
One of my favorite versions of this song, I'm pretty sure this is on the ep deep cuts!!!....Luv It....and yes Blind Melon#1 and Aic#2 for me Great artist....R.I.P. Shannon and Layne
Could Shannon look anymore young and innocent in this video! God it's brings tears to my eyes and chills down my back to watch this video. Wish this beautiful and talented human being was still amongst us today. I know he is looking down with a smile on his face somewhere up above!
His charismatic and yet humble personality was a thing of beauty to witness live and he had me watching just him the entire show. Like you didn't want to look away for fear of missing something special happen at any moment. I can't listen to Change without crying. I've tried. I can't. Ripple is the only other song that does that to me and I feel as though Jerry and Shannon are from the same mold, and have that same purple aura of kindness and love.
Who in the fuck found this? The lyrics "and if I see you walking hand and hand and hand with a three armed man/ I'd understand/ but you shoulda been in my shoes yesterday" changed my life with the simple beauty and poetic nothingness. Such an absurd line that means a helluva lot to me. "Soup" is a perfect album. Up there with Dark Side and Abbey Road.
Josh Ringler Definitely NOT absurd. Personal and deep, and symbolic. He's accepting that the person he's in love with is not a good fit for him, hence the shoe analogy. Shannon had an interesting method of creating lyrics, but absurd is not a word I would use to describe his method at all
This song was wrote cause Blind Melon played a show at St. Andrews Hall In Detroit. After the show across the road a women jumped from 20 stories and the whole band seen it out there hotel window which was right across the street.
Borgia Nation Your completely wrong about this song. The shoe analogy is because he just watched a women jump 20 stories to her death. Should have been his shoes yesterday. It has nothing to do with gf or whatever that bs you said.
I seen them live with Travis. It was really good to me even though you cant replace that free spirit loving person that Shannon was. They played tribute to Shannon though and played all old stuff
And I can't tell you how many times that I've sat and viewed my lifed today. But I can tell you, I don't think that I can find an easier way. And if I see you walking hand in hand in hand with the three armed man, you know I'll understand. But you should've been in my shoes yesterday. Best Blind Melon verse, hands down.
This is maybe my favorite part of this INCREDIBLE performance just because I know what it’s like to work out new material on the fly and I know the magic it sometimes brings. So cool. As close as we got to a Blind Melon: MTV Unplugged, and probably better than it would’ve been had we gotten it since they were loose enough to try this and one or two others. Just a beautiful performance from word ‘go’.
They did have it on an album. It was on the Blind Melon A Rare Collection album, but his mom had them stop making them. There's a lot of there unedited unreleased songs here on youtube on the Rare Collection album

When you watch a true artist... it's different than watching a pop star. There's something in their eyes that just feels honest.
blind melon has to be one of the most underrated bands of all time,, wish they hadnt been so short lived. R.I.P. shannon hoon---you have one of the most pure, and most beautiful voices ive ever heard
I agree, love you blindi
I agree 100%
They totally didn't get the recognition they deserved. They had so many amazing song
What makes you believe they're underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world? Please explain.
Burned too bright & flamed out just too soon, tragic...
Still listening Shannon 2018💔
Of.course you are
Brad kills it on backing vocals
2019 !!!
20 years later and it still hurts to know that you will never make anymore music. RIP Shannon.

As a parent I wonder if I would have the strength to view something as beautiful as this without hurting, knowing that my son is no longer around
Sitting on the edge of this building and looking 20 below....... so freaking powerful. I love this song
You gotta hand it to Glen right here.. the ticka ticka was so important.. and his arm had to have been burning.. to keep the drive going.. bravo Glen! Very impressed
I had Thanksgiving dinner with him and family Vernell sister. he played acoustic on the front porch songs on never heard before I had just was finishing High School. 1990! love you Vernell thank you for the good news! Grady
He was such a brilliant and soulful singer and I’m sure a great human being that suffered in lots of ways.

D.m.W618 You're right. Thank you for clarifying this for me in an adult way
fuck I wish Shannon was still around....1 of the best...
No sé qué daría por verte vivo, por haberte visto aunque sólo fueran 5 segundos!
god blessed you shannon with beautiful talent & soul!!!
Happy Birthday (9-26) week, Shannon!!!! IN HOON WE TRUST ☆☆☆○♡♡☆☆☆☆♤♤♤
this is just gorgeous.
love you guys.. always and forever
forever young
Shannon Hoon was awesome. What an awesome song
He had such a good soul. Just way too bad, so glad I got to see them perform
shannon hoon..i love you....blind melon.. you are the best
damn, they were so underrated! I actually think Blind Melon's album with Travis Warren was pretty good too.
I seen them live with Travis. It was really good to me even though you cant replace that free spirit loving person that Shannon was. They played tribute to Shannon though and played all old stuff
The most divine human angel I’ve ever known in my life.💜
a beautiful soul.
Shannon you are always amazing.
Great upload, man!
"Soup" is full of gems like this one. R.I.P. Shannon 🍻
@CaptainHighTop Right on man, love your name too, love Mother Love Bone and love Blind Melon.
"The man who had three arms" is a very interesting Broadway play from the 80s..I think this song references it
Dawn Sisson no this song is about a gal that jumped of a building right in front of them 20 stories below
@@levibare6733 I know that part about the lady...I was just talking about the lyrics referencing walking hand and hand and hand with three armed man
That's what great a great soul and great music are able to creat.
This is so great. Thank you.
From about 2:10 on this song is just magic
Such a talent!!
He was so promising...
ya. this says it best.
his gift was given, he delivered
wow...thanks so much for posting, truly! its sung so beautiful yet heartachingly tragic
What a loss....Shannon was so damn talented.
And I can't tell you how many times that I've sat and viewed my lifed today. But I can tell you, I don't think that I can find an easier way. And if I see you walking hand in hand in hand with the three armed man, you know I'll understand. But you should've been in my shoes yesterday.

Best version of this tune.
Genius

Gavin D. Why on earth would his mother stop the printing of his album???????????

Such an awesome fucking song. We miss you greatly, Shannon!
I feel the same way. Why didn't they put those in the album!?!?!
Man, what a song. That's the definitive version
No no...INTIMATE&INTERACTIVE
@@clayturner5777 disagree. Doesn't have the " yesterday you should seen the guilt ". Besides, that version is WAY too fast
sublime
Such a a beautiful and haunting song. I wonder how long it took them to write it after that night💔
Wow, thank you for this upload!
👏👏👏
When I scroll through the comments of my favourite band I tend to see you a lot, you have a great taste of music
