NOTE: I am looking for people to make .MP3 songs of rare/live Blind Melon performances. If you are a bootleg collector or have some songs which don't exist on the three primary albums, please e-mail me. Thank you.
As of now, I have one MP3 file. It is a live performance of Galaxie from MTV's 120 Minutes. It will be available online soon. If anyone actually frequents this page, and you really want me to put it on, e-mail me.

Blind Melon is a band
Glen Graham - Drums, Percussion
Christopher Thorn - Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin
Five talented musicians, all from small town America, hit suddenly with the shock of Los Angeles, the big city. Theyform a band, and record a demo either then, or now, entitled "The Goodfoot Workshop." Record companies get a holdof it and try to work out deals. Capitol Records wins. Blind Melon, now a major-label act, leave Los Angeles to beginwork on their first album. Writing goes on in what the band dubs the "Sleepyhouse", somewhere in Durham, North Carolina. And so it begins...
Emerging into the lime light in 1992 with the number one hit single, "No Rain", Blind Melon was seen, to manytrendies and hangers-on, as a one hit wonder. Their driving self titled debut album was a far cry from the happy, finger snapping diddy that brought them their fame. However, a small legion of followers, including those who had heardof the band prior to their break through, managed to look past the MTV-induced frenzy to the heart of the music, andto the hearts of the members.
