I'm surprised Tennessee and Travis didn't sing Cheatem St. together. Did she join them on stage at all during their set? No, I was surprised too. We only caught the last part of her set but it was beautiful.

Jooooo lovely melons out there!
Okay.. I haven't slept since I left Amsterdam and I feel obliged to at least tell a bit of my very first Melonshow ever in my life. I bet Melon means as much to mee as to any of you out there! Okay, I can be short about it... I was blown away, I got soaked soaked wet after Galaxy, 2x4 and Toes... and then it yet just started... hahah I realized a Melonshow is best best workout for body and mind ;-)
Besides all the shit I recall just like Gabbe that 99,9% of the ppl around me felt like brothers instantly. You know, ppl would grab my shirt and jump with me just to show their enthusiasm!! I loved it!! And same happened to the ppl around me (by me).
After the show I got to talk to the band members and once again there were honored and surprised I have been the 4th European citizen to get my ass over to the States to show respect to ( in my opinion) the best musicians ever on this planet. Can't live without Blind melon tunes!! Barb, I told all the boys to once again say hi from you and yeah they miss you out there! Many greetings back and they are determined to get to Spain in September.
I am one down, 7-up ;-) By the way, We got ourselves a KICK ASS rental car upgrade for compact prize hahah so yeah may the tour begin. We start in about 3 hours.. Karen is now sleeping (and snoring sorry Karen we know you guess...) and probably driving in a while. Gabbee and I are just talking talking talking.. yeah way to cool for school. I need to drive about 2500 miles with that car!
Talk to you all soon again. One thing is clear Europe loves Blind Melon and Blind Melon loves Europe ( Brad talk a lot about their visit to Amsterdam in the early nineties).
Game over, I need some rest now! Austin thread is up already and will be continued in a few hours....
Love you all ( fans and members).
PS Travis used my kazoo and kept it... it means I have nothing left to support Skinned on the tour, he promised to keep it and use it... to be continued!) My kazoo is 13 years old ( since 1995 soup album) and bought in Amsterdam... Travis found the thing look kinda strange(maybe compared to US version??)... heheh bottom line is that it worked all fine. tuduu tu duu tu du duuuuu hahaha

OMG these stories! I am blown away, I can't believe all the fights, but I can.....I'm sure I will never forget penis girl, I almost whopped her ass in Lancaster. Gabbee I hope your arm feels better, that is a nasty bruise already.
The show sounds like good times, Karen thanks so much for sharing the photos and Paul (under Gabbee's sign on) I am so happy you made it for these shows. I know exactly what you mean by the instant feeling of friendship with other melonheads. The bond of this music is strong between us.

Sounds like it was a special show, Travis's Mom, Rogers's Brother, Gabb's battle wound. Man I wish I would have been there. Hopefully a lesson learned by the abusive fan and more memories made. Fun and Memories......that's what it is ALL about. Gabbie, you may want to soak that bruise in some Epsom Salt, it may help it go away faster....... Thanks for all the low down from last night guys #redlight_unity_02# #smilieblindmelonforum# #smilieIloveblindmelon# #thankyou# #thankyou# #thankyou# #thankyou# #thankyou#

From where I was at the sound wasn't too bad. I'm about 6ft and my girlfriend is about 5'3" and not 5 minutes before the band went on this group of about 4 or 5 19 ft tall, roided-up, frat looking guys pushed up and stood right in front of us. they proceeded to talk and take pictures of each other through the entirety of the set. one of them was throwing up metal horns the entire show as well. it annoyed the shit out of me but i finally decided i had to block it out and enjoy the show.
other than that I had a blast. i didn't know there were two fights, only saw the one during 'change' when travis said something. i couldn't help but think how ironic it was that somebody was starting a fight during 'change' of all songs.

Sounds like it was a wild show. Hope Gabbee is okay and still had fun! I hate when you get assholes like that, they end up ruining the experience. Glad to hear that he was removed quickly! Were there any new shirts for sale? Also, did they sell the new album? I thought I heard they might be. I was wondering if it was the digipack or just the regular packaging? Can't wait to see them at the Metro!!!

Yes, the CDs are on sale for ONLY $10. I think it's too cheap and that the guys are underpricing their stuff. Just my opinion though. There are more shirts. I have to buy a few more tonight and I will take pics of them all. This is the one that I picked up last night.

I think that is so disrespectful especially during change. That is one of my favorite songs ..... Hint My ICON is a tattoo that i have on my wrist of the word change hehehe.... but thats pretty messed up.
