    Would Blind Melon be worth seeing live?

    They're coming to a small venue nearby, and it will be cheap, prolly around $15, but I haven't heard their cd that was released this year, the first one since they reformed with new lead singer Travis Warren. I'm sure most of you know about tragic death of their former lead singer, Shannon Hoon, from a cocaine overdose while on tour in New Orleans. That was back in October of '95 and they disbanded soon after that, but recently reformed with the aforementioned Warren.

    Anyway, I just wondered if anyone can tell me how they sound these days and if it would be worth a shot. I liked them back in the 90s, but I never got the urge to see Little Feat after Lowell George's death and figured their best days were behind them (they were), and I'm figuring the same for B.M. (pun intended).

    Thanks,

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    I saw them this summer at Birmingham's City Stages. Overall, worth seeing. I enjoyed it. Of course, cool summer night and lots of beer may have had something to do with it. My biggest complaint was that their set was all over the map, kinda like a badly organized compilation.

    I saw these guys like 13-14 years ago. I'm surprised they're still going. Wow. That's dedication.
    Meh, for $15 why not.

    Well, their music was pretty much like that.

    All over the map I mean. Their debut album had stuff that sounded like the Dead, while others were more like pretty heavy, and then some acoustic stuff that was pop-influenced. Assuming they're playing a lot of older stuff, I guess I'd expect that.

    Thanks for the comments buddy!

    I'd go see them, but my question is, will they be able to see you, seeings how they're blind and all that?

    And the REAL question I have is, would this be considered a blind melon?
