. But I do know any financial burden taken on from such a trip is lil compared to finally having that release of 12 years thinking I was NEVER goin to EVER see Blind Melon; just disappear in an instant during the first bar of Hello/Goodbye..... This means Sooooo much to the Lot of us! Thank U All!!! #thumb# You nailed that Trip, my feelings exactly! The road trips are the best! Not only are you traveling with a group of amazing people, but they are amazing people who love Blind Melon just as much as yourself. I never thought anything like this would ever happen, I am so grateful that the band is back together.

I have to agree with everyone it was probably one of the best shows i've ever seen. Was anyone from Detroit at the show? I think my hometown had the biggest amount of fans make the trip. I saw at least 30 people from Sarnia Ontario there. I just hope nobody missed the show because the I75 exit was closed.

Sandman that exit detour was a bitch. It cost us a good hour. Luckily redlightunity hooked us up with some great directions! I thought for a second we might not make it!!!

Brad,your exactly right. It was heavenly. Me and 3 of my buddys drove almost 24 hours from Nova Scotia and it was worth every second. We got to talk to you and Rogers after the show and I can't thank you enough. I was the one with the Canadian weed leaf on my shirt haha. And i'm sure we'd all do it again, the show was off the hook and all of you nailed everynote. I was hoping to talk to Chris but he had to catch a flight,and Travis was drained from the show and had spome back/neck problems it sounded like.Thanks to all three of you for signing something for me though. I wanted to thank Glen espically for payin for our tickets, that ment more then anyone can imagine....but he was gone drinking haha. Best road trip of my life, won't be the last Blind Melon road trip either. Look forward to talkin to all of yas next show I get to. Thanks again for the trip,and show,of a lifetime.
but yeah....COME NORTH!!Rogers I know the border patrol dont like you,you were sayin, BUT DO IT ANYWAYS haha.

Melonhead23 is right, Best Road Trip EVER!. 23 Hours in a car with those fools, worth every second. Best Concert i've ever been to in my life. You guys rocked the house!!! I was right up front for the whole thing, i feel like my face was melted. Can't wait to see you guys again, you should Definatly hit up Nova Scotia when the weather turns nice, Pearl jam played here and the concert sold out in 2 hours.

So dano and Melonhead, you guys road tripped together?!! Awesome!! Kudos guys! that's what it's all about innit bluds! I live about 4 hrs from Halifax I KNOW for a fact there are a TON of us round here........ Gotta get these boys to hit at least two dates in the Maritimes! I'd suggest three stops... Saint John, Moncton, & Halifax of course i'd hit all three that's for sure. Saint John and Halifax are only bout 4.5 hrs hours apart w/ Moncton almost smacked in the middle! Hey, don't forget the Stones played the Maritimes two summer in a row! took 'em 40 some years to do it..... MAN am I ever! getting excited to see more Maritimers Pop up here !! Means future road trips are That much more possible #thumb# "I LOVE IT"

Definitely the best show I've ever seen. The opening of 2 x 4 and galaxie was awesome and the new stuff sounded great too. The back and forth throwing of liquids was pretty funny too.
