Himself
An archive of '90s culture and a philosophical study of fame via the intimate video-diary of Shannon Hoon, the late lead singer of alt-rock band Blind Melon.
Self
Released ten years to the day after the concert it chronicles, Blind Melon's Live at the Metro, September 27, 1995 presents a full-length show held at the Cabaret Metro theater in Chicago during the band's final tour, less than a month before the death of lead singer Shannon Hoon. (Six of the video's performances previously appeared in the 1996 home video Letters from a Porcupine; 13 are previously unreleased.) It's easy to see why Blind Melon couldn't continue without him.
This posthumous tribute to Blind Melon documents the band's ascendancy to the top of the charts, including extensive footage of live club performances, their set at Woodstock '94, late-night television appearances, and behind-the-scenes footage of the recording sessions for their final album. Songs include "Soup," "Toes Across the Floor," "St. Andrews Hall," "Soul One" and "No Rain (Ripped Away Version)."
