This looks amazing once completed. Even the 7 minute preview is awesome. I've already watched it half a dozen times.

Yeah, I think they met when Blind Melon opened for Ozzy.

Most people only know 'No Rain' and think Blind Melon suck.  They are a supremely underrated band.

Their debut album was incredible except for "No Rain."  VH1's Behind the Music about Blind Melon is really sad.  Shannon was so nuts and messed up.  The whole episode is on YouTube.  I'm looking forward to watching the preview posted above.

I think more and more people learn each year to listen to all their stuff and don't just go off of "No Rain".

But, in fact, when the album first was released and I picked up (all those years ago..), "Change" and "No Rain" were my immediate two favorites. The album has evolved so much for me through the years and it's still one of my all time favorites.

I even still enjoy "No Rain" quite a bit from time to time.

Soup was the album that got totally panned at the time but I've always loved it and has so many layers. That's the totally underappreicated one. But for those that listen, it's their favorite one.

They've posted a version of "Sleepyhouse" done by none other than Jim James.

Check it out!!! It's great.
