Hey everyone I am super excited that Blind Melon is gonna be playing 15 minutes from my house! Just wanted to see if anyone is going? It should be really fun and there is a lot of great bars out here. I am also trying to recruit a bunch of people from work to go. Want to give the boys a great reception! www.sectionlive.com/Shows_blindmelon.html

Yeh I am surprised at the amount of touring they are doing. Every show I go to I figure will be my last for awhile but now they are actually right by my house!!! Hopefully, you will hear something soon!!!

Sounds like a plan. I am trying to get a pretty big group together. Not sure what we are doing before the show but there are a lot of bars in the area. Can't Wait!!!

Tonight is the night. About 10 months ago I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to talk to Travis in Urbana, Illinois. After we made the 5 and 1/2 hour drive there I told him it would be great if they could make it to Grand Rapids. He said they would and sure enough he came through on his promise!!! Can't wait!

Excellent show as usually. The crowd was a decent size, but very into the show. The Setlist was great I am not sure exactly what it was but I'll try to remember:
2 X 4 Soak the Sin For My Friends Paper Scratcher Soup Down on the Pharmacy- A first for me Sleepyhouse Change Wishing Well No Rain Skinned Tumblin Down Cheatum Street-Amazing The Pusher
Encore Galaxie Time
Somewhere mixed in there was No Bidness because some guy kept yelling it behind us and Travis sang a very short version of it. Again I'm not sure how accurate that setlist is but I think it is close. Overall it was a great show and the guys seemed to be having a great time. Travis showed a lot of energy and the crowd was singing along to almost all of the songs. Nel was there to my surprise which was totally cool. I took a picture with her and Nicole and we talked about the vigil which she is really excited about. Hope I can leak this but potential Blind Melon show at vigilstock that Sunday night. Nel was also excited about her new jewelry line that is coming out soon and she was happy to see Nicole wearing a Shannon shirt and some jewelry that Nel made for her. What a sweetheart! Travis brought his own kazoo for skinned which was good because I drove to 4 different stores earlier and couldn't find one. The bubble machine made an appearance which was cool. Definitely another great show. The guys came out for autographs afterward and I bought the new poster and had them all sign it. Tons of new merch since the last show I saw. Sad thing is I don't have any more show to go to for awhile. But the vigil is just around the corner!!!
Peace, Love, & Melons

I'm glad you had fun. Sounds like an awesome show. I've been dying to hear more of their new stuff. Especially Cheetum Street and Down on the Pharmacy. 2 of my favs!! It sucks when a show comes to your own state and you can't make it Hope they come around again.

I am sure they will be back eventually. I can't believe how much touring they have done so far! I also forgot to put the song Hypnotized in the setlist. So they played quite a few new tunes.
