Wow! I was expecting a concert video, a compilation of live clips spliced together from the band’s reunion tour with new singer Travis Warren. That would have been fine by me but, wow, this is much more than I expected. I’m a die-hard Melonhead and this video gave me goosebumps, particularly the short scene where Shannon Hoon’s mom, Nel, is seen giving Travis a hug (she’s the one wearing the Peace, Love & Shannon Hoon t-shirt). I was actually there when Mrs.Hoon showed up to see the band for the first time since Shannon passed away and it was a HEAVY situation.

The band has a shitload of tour dates coming up to support the release of For My Friends (available 4/22). Check ’em out here.
I shared your thoughts when I saw it – I was in Chicago when Nel and Nico played with the band (I live in California) and it was truly cool – I’m going to see them in San Juan Capistrano in a month or so…
Great video. I got to interview the guys on March 20th when they played in Davenport, IA and we will be doing a short 30 minute show for a local pbs station here in the Quad Cities. We taped the entire show (soundboard audio and video) and since you’ve provided me with all these great fig dish gems, I was wondering if you’d like a copy of the show? Let me know if you’re interested.
Thanks again,
Josh
I was at the Davenport show, drove from Indiana to get down there to see them for my 20th bday! It was an amazing night to say the least. I would love to have a copy of that show ahaha..
