Oh lordy lord, Hey Melon heads, my name's Fergus, I joined the forum a while back when I heard that the guys were playing in Spain. Can I just say, oh holy S@"£!! What a gig. The guys just blew me away. Travis is such a fitting tribute to Shannon, and the music they played just blew my socks off! Me and another Irish buddy travelled over and we met the lovely Barbara (more on Babs in a mo!) and a great couple from Madrid, and we totally rocked out to the sounds of the greatest rock band of all time! Worth every penny, every moment spent travelling, every ounce of energy we used to get there and to finally hear our heroes live! I have a facebook group "bring Blind Melon to Ireland" where I'll post some videos and pics we took. But a tribute to Barbara: Chick, you rock! Probably Blind Melon's biggest fan, a truly genuine, lovely down to earth person, with only good feelings to share. we had such a good time at the festival with you! I can't believe you could actually produce MELON MINT flavoured orbit chewing gum! ha ha thats priceless! Please all, give it up for another of our heroes, Barbara! When the Melon come to play Ireland, Babs you have a place to stay, and it wont be sharing our two man tent this time!!!!! Let us know how you got on in London and Milan!

Hey Fergus! I moved your thread to the Tour section, since it's mostly about the show. But a tribute to Barbara: Chick, you rock! Probably Blind Melon's biggest fan, a truly genuine, lovely down to earth person, with only good feelings to share. we had such a good time at the festival with you! I can't believe you could actually produce MELON MINT flavoured orbit chewing gum! ha ha thats priceless! Fergus, all the love right back at ya! I can say the exactly same thing for you guys! You rock! I had such an amazing time, you have no idea! Oh, wait, you do, hehe ;D really, words just can't describe it. Worth every penny, every moment spent travelling, every ounce of energy we used to get there and to finally hear our heroes live! EXACTLY, TOTALLY AGREED! Thanks for the offer in Ireland, same goes for you guys of course! I doubt melon will be ever playing in Slovenia but you can still come check out the country ;D I'm in London now, leaving for the airport in the evening and wait for plane to Milano in the morning...love the trip so far ;D thanks for making it even sooooooo much better!
