Hello all,
As some of you may know blind melon performed in stamford ct tonight at alive at five and as always put on such an AMAZING show. This was the first time though that i got to meet all of them and each and every one of them were sweethearts. They are really the nicest people--
are there any out there that went to the stamford show??--

I was there! They put on an amazing show. I am uploading all of my pics now so I will post them soon. The set was short but amazing.

I found it so cool to watch the crowd gather around the outside of the park when they were playing No Rain. It's like Stamford finally realized who was playing. There were a LOT of people there crammed into the small park. It was an awesome experience though.

Hello, Karen and all...
Yeah fantastic but very short show. For a crowd with probably 90% of people who have not heard the new stuff. The guys won them over early, and there was a lot of love in the crowd.
I talked to Brad before Gig and he said they told him it was an hour no more. They thought it was 1:45 so he was on his way to cut down set list.
I videotaped the show in gorgeous HD with 2 cameras, sound was great as well. Video looks fantastic especially at sunset. The backdrop with the list of sponsors was pretty ugly but I shot around that for the most part.
Only Issue came near the end of the show after no rain when I was told no videotaping by an organizer and for some reason a handful of cops. I told her the band allowed videotaping of the shows and that I was in a public park, she still told me quote "I sign there checks" so I stopped taping and did not want to cause any trouble or make a scene. I returned to my edit suite late last night and re-watched, I hadn't seen the guys since February, WOW, they have dialed it in, TIGHT. I am going to edit the show and make available to anyone who wants it.
I like all of you on this board consider this footage property of Blind Melon.

hey all, long time lurker first time poster!
I was there last night at alive @ 5. Great show, I missed them the last couple times they were around here due to work related stuff being out of town etc. But it was really a great experience to see this band at it again. Travis really can hold his own, especially with the older material. Besides for the 9-5er happy hour suit and tie people, there were a few people, especially where I was up front, that were there for the band and not just a free show. Set was short, wanted to hear a lot more, but it was tight. Cannot wait til next time they come around, hope its sooner rather than later.
Oh, and who was up front that saw that obnoxious chick bust up to front center during no rain? wearing a very short skirt and no underwear...leaning over the barrier...exposing everything. hah, i got a good laugh.

Can't wait to see it! Thanks for capturing it!

I agree once everyone heard no rain just about everyones heads turned-- i was in the very front so i couldnt see how many people were out there but i definitely was getting pushed around- i live in stamford and go to alive at five-- not often but often enough to know it was never like it was for blind melon- they really rocked it.
