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.

어머니가 돌아가신 후로 아버지와 함께 목장을 운영하며 카우보이로 살아가는 킵. 어느 날 킵은 호기심에 들른 유흥가에서 '로라'라는 여자를 만나고, 곤경에 처한 로라를 도와주게 된다. 하지만 곧 정체를 알 수 없는 남자에게 습격당하고 로라는 붙잡혀 가는데... 한편 킵의 아버지가 운영하는 목장은 사정이 어려워지고, 아버지는 킵의 삼촌인 베켓에게 돈을 받고 목장에 대한 권리를 넘기게 된다. 킵은 로라를 계속 찾아 다니고, 이번 실종이 그간 마을에서 실종됐던 소녀들과 관련이 있다는 걸 눈치채게 되는데...

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)."
