I will have to say the best hug of my life is from my wife when we don't see each other for a couple days. BUT, a close second was Shannon. and yes, it was the best B-day ever. I was front row, roght in front of Shannon the whole show. My ribs were getting crushed alll night from being pushed up against the gate that keeps you from getting on stage. I was so thirsty. When Blind Melon took a short break, Shannon came out with a pint of strawberries. It was just what I needed to stay in the game

Well I only had A strawberry, I didn't have the whole pint myself, he was being generous. I still have half the set list. My friend and I both jumped up on stage at the same time and each grabbed it and it tore in half. So we each kept our halves. (remind me to ask him about the other half) Is this show floating around the web somewhere? Rogers was tearing it up man. He was walking the stage like it was a tight rope guided only by the guitar ;D

Daaaaaaaaaaamn... Hugging Shannon's jeans was moving enough, I dont know what I would do if I got to "squeeze" the man! It was real close to his last birthday too huh??? awww On a side note, I met a guy a week ago who saw their last show in Dallas, which was 2 days before Shannon's death

Shannon indeed gave great hugs! In fact they all did...I've met quite a few bands and I must say that Blind Melon really gave back to the fans a hell of a lot more than most band...I remember they were very down to earth and cool...just what you'd expect them to be like!
