Album: “Live at the Palace”

Description

Blind Melon: Shannon Hoon (vocals); Christopher Thorn (guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica); Rogers Stevens (guitar); Brad Smith (bass guitar, background vocals); Glen Graham (drums). <p>Recording information: The Palace, Hollywood, CA (1995). <p>Recorded at the Palace in Hollywood less than two weeks before frontman Shannon Hoon's fatal drug overdose, this 1995 concert finds Blind Melon offering up a set that draws from both of the rootsy alternative-rock band's studio albums--its self-titled debut and SOUP. Although the live songs are a bit more rough-and-tumble than their studio counterparts, largely thanks to Hoon's notably raspy vocals, the recording does showcase some of the group's more delicate moments, particularly "Tones of Home" and the sunny hit single "No Rain."
