My name is Pete. Blind Melon has been my favorite band since my older brother first introduced me to the song "Holy Man" off of their first album. This was around 2001, still years after Shannon's death. My love for the music has done nothing but grow for the past 8 years, but I was always bummed because I couldn't help thinking, "Wow, I'm never going to get to see them perform."
The way I came across the news of their reunion with Travis led me to a level of excitement I cannot even describe. I get regular e-mails from a local venue about show opportunities (I'm in a band). These shows are rarely especially interesting to the band and myself, but about a month and a half ago I get an e-mail, scroll all the way down and it says: "Blind Melon. $16.00 tickets. E-mail us back if you want the show."
I nearly fainted. I never thought that they would ever play together again as Blind Melon. I e-mailed the venue back and got by band the show, sharing the stage with our personal heroes. So not only am I going to see them perform in my lifetime...I'm going to perform alongside them.
