Hi all, let me start out by saying that I love this band. I am so psyched they are back together. I first got into them back in 1994 when I saw them at a small club in CT called The Sting. From there I saw them at Woodstock and again in Sept. 95 at Toads Place in New Haven CT. Now I'll get another chance in February at The Webster Theater in CT. I watched a dvd I have from Much Music in Canada last night with my wife and we are both looking forward to seeing the new singer but at the same time very sad Shannon is no longer with us. He is surely missed by all and was a wonderful spirit. Anyway you all no that already.

Awesome~You will have to tell us more about the concerts Well the first time I saw them was The Sting. A small club in New Britain CT which is no longer there. It was a cool atmosphere, about 500 people, a lot of weed and a great vibe throughout. At the time I didn't know much about them, I went with a group of friends and one of them who was there with her boyfriend was a really big fan. Unfortunately for her, her boyfriend wasn't. So being the nice guy that I am I helped her work her way through the mosh pit and right up to the front of the stage under Shannon. We stayed there all night until the show ended. They played great that night too. Oh yeah a bout a year later I married that girl. Second time I saw them was Woodstock. Went with the same group of friends. Melon was the second band to hit the stage after Joe Cocker of all people. We worked our way to about 50 feet from the stage. Shannon was obviously wasted, came out with a lot of eye makeup on and wearing a dress (which is in the rock-n-roll hall of fame). The band was solid as usual. I was lucky enough too to have a video of that whole show. Third time was Toads Place. A great club in New Haven on the Yale campus. Have seen many great shows there, Melon, Porno for Pyros and Rob Zombie to name a few. The stage was only about 2 feet high and very small. Just enough room for all their equipment, not much room for the band to move around. Shannon looked great, looked cleaned up, short hair and all. After the show the band was hanging around outside talking to fans, taking pictures. That was also a great show. Unfortunately it was shortly after that that Shannon passed away. Very sad.
