Blind Melon - St. Andrew's Fall (Live on 2 Meter Sessions, 1993) 

Thanks for sharing this, much love!

This version is so beautiful. He had such an amazing voice. RIP Shannon❤

So many people don't know how sweet this music is. Buy the sky

Shannon reminds me somewhere in a good place. Used to listen Blind Melon during 90's with my brother and we still listen 20 years after, with the same love. Eternal Shannon!

He was so ridiculously talented

Loved this group!! Such a loss!

The great Shannon Hoon! Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.

Shannon makes daisies and sunshine float through my brain ..... precious soul .. he's all around us 💛

This is my favorite song from them. Can't get enough!

This song is so precious 🤍

What an incredible song! Their collection is so deep, you can just stumble across great songs easily with this band

This one fills me with love !✌

Bedankt 2 meter sessions voor deze prachtige live opnames van deze unieke band Blind Lemon.

Dude I found out there is a super sad story behind this song. "One night we were playing in Detroit at this old church that had been converted into a music hall, called St. Andrew's Hall. And after the show, we were standing up in our dressing room, and it had these windows so you could look down and see all the people leaving the club. And I was standing there looking out when I noticed all these people starting to congregate over on the corner. We were arguing about a monitor mix or something stupid from the gig, I don't know. But my attention was caught by all these people on the corner. I thought man... is there a fight going on or something? Then I see someone point up and I look and there's this girl on the edge of the building, 20 floors up. It wasn't someone from the show; it was a hotel next door to the club. I was like, 'Holy s--t, you guys, there's a girl up there.' We had the most horrific view. There's about two hundred people, all watching by now, and of course you get all the heartless ones that start heckling and screaming when you should really understand that someone for whatever reason is deliberating life or death here. It was unbelievable. There were people yelling 'Jump!' I thought, 'My God, what's going on here?' All of a sudden there was this dead calm, and this girl stood up and she jumped, and we were all standing there. And I mean it seemed like it took forever for her to fall. It was one of those situations where you don't want to look but something in your mind makes you watch and will not let you take your eyes away from it, because you're going to learn something from it. I mean, not only did I learn that monitor mixes were irrelevant to life, it just... phoosh! Nobody was able to say a thing for the next three hours. We just got in the van and drove. Rogers [Stevens - Blind Melon guitarist] had actually left the hall and was down on the street when it happened. It was something that really scarred us all. She was just 26, and no one knew why she jumped. She took her secret with her. They thought she might have tested positive for AIDS, but she wasn't. She wasn't pregnant, she had a job... she just suffered from depression. It could have been anybody. It was really sad. And that's what 'St. Andrew's Fall' is all about."

2:20 discover blind melon was a experience cant describe pink floyd as well, same feeling...

3155 views and half of them are me.

I got to see them 2 times . The first time was in a club that n Long Island ..

Great song first time I ever heard it

If I could hang out with one person, it would be Shannon Hoon

I love you Shannon! I'm obsessed with you !

Forever Shannon!🤍

Great Quality!!! R.I.P. Shannon Hoon......?

Live in Peace boy.

They should’ve kept Brad Smith’s harmony for the album version

Increíble q este muchacho muriera tan joven

The Boston song!

St. Andrew's Fall - lyrics Big stretch, not much sleep A big palm tree rubs against my cheek Bright blue Saturdays of rummage sales Are rubbish to me But if I could buy the sky that's hangin' Over this bed of mine And if I could buy these vines Or rather climb 'em straight up to the sky Standin', lookin' straight in the eyes of Jesus Christ One porch, one dog, one cockroach, only one way to be I got sewage fruit It grows out back from roots and I don't know if they belong to me But if I could buy this sky that's hangin' Over this bed of mine - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And if I could climb these vines And maybe see what you see You - if you're sittin' on the edge of this building Lookin' twenty below Twenty below, twenty below, twenty below And I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat And viewed my life today, but I can tell you That I can't seem to find an easy way So if I see you walkin' hand in hand in hand With a three armed man, I'll understand Should have been in my shoes (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) Should have been in my shoes yesterday (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) ohh In my shoe yesterday (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) In my shoe yesterday - yeah - yeah - yeah (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) In my shoe yesterday yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday - hey - hey - hey - hey - ohoo

Whenever I hear him I become 16 again. I always wanted to be 16, and free.

Increíble q este muchacho muriera tan joven

Amazing voice of Shannon! He sang so effortlessly, flawlessly beautiful. I did not know about this live session! Thank you for sharing this.

This Netherlands 2 Meters Sessions show is phenomenal! All acoustic show, just wish it were longer! One of my favorites for sure though.. and probably the most sober Shannon seems to have been in front of a camera, compared to any other live show I've seen with Shannon in them. They are on their A GAME this particular show! My favorite version(s) of Candy Says (he did The Velvet Underground justice in respect to Doug Yule particularly), Paper Scratcher (the only acoustic version of that song recorded that I'm aware of), No Rain (Ripped Away), and this St. Andrew's Fall. Also an eerily awesome first verse and chorus of Me & Bobby McGee. His cadence and voice on that makes it one of the best imaginable renditions of Janis Joplin imho.

Shannon Honn come Layne Staley aveva una voce unica. Un musicista sensazionale...

If I see you walking hand in hand.... oh I’ll understand. I understand

Shannon Hoon was so damn talented. RIP Shannon

I just weep to hear him. Every time.

Damn, this is so good! RIP Shannon

Big stretch and not much sleep I got a couple of plam trees on each side of my cheek And it's a bright blue Saturday And the rummage sells the rubbish to me But if I could buy the sky that's hangin' Over this bed of mine If I could climb these vines And maybe see what you're seein' If you were standing on the corner staring straight Into the eyes of Jesus Christ One porch, one dog, one cockroach only way to be I got sewage fruit and it's growing out back from roots I don't know if they belong to me But if I could buy the sky that's hangin' Over this bed of mine And if I could climb these vines And maybe see what you're seein' Sittin' at the edge of this building, Twenty stories below, A' twenty stories below Twenty stories below Twenty stories below I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat, And viewed my life today, but I can tell you I don't think that I can find easier way So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand With a three armed man, you know I'll understand But you should have been in my shoes yesterday You should have been in my shoes yesterday

Can someone tell me the lyrics Brad Smith sings at 2.55

Beautiful 💚

A monster of a band.👍👍

For me , this is it . Their greatest moment. Maybe the greatest moment ever, just , in the world

Prachtig

He was a great melodist.

Gone too soon

Here in the studio is preceded by a request to play something that they have not demonstrated from their work before. After a few seconds of reflection... st. Andrew's fall

I went to all girl private catholic high school I hated. So on days when we had presentations that involved sharing music or writing papers on the subject matter I of course used Blind Melon…. lol and maybe the Doors too. This band was so point on their brilliance on all of the underlying innuendos to a particular ticket company was the best way to give them the middle finger Beverly Hillbilly Hello 😊

Memories... ❤️

incredible beautiful

this is pure gold. Shannon was a good person he had a problem. Check on your friends

Dude’s a genius on the music level… damn straight only one way to be…

Amo este tema siempre lo amare y se hace amar aun mas por lo que inspiro a shannon a escribirlo

Incredible VOICE..... man

Beautiful, God bless the boys.

I look like this dude

Shannon we love you..if you scroll i have said same thing over years

I was searching for some Lou Reed songs in the early days of RU-vid and I came across one of my favorite songs by Velvet Underground. Although I had been a BM fan years before that, Candy Says brought me to 2 Meter Sessions and I ended up watching it in it's entirety. This is my second favorite 2 meter songs. I am curious though, did Paul ever get the coffee stains out that Shannon threw at him? 😂

Царствие небесное!

This was my fav band for a few years. My best friend and I would drive around listening to Melon constantly. No other band hit me like that. Now i love psychedelic jam band type stuff like Ozric Tentacles. Check them out, clean your brain :)

Love this song. So cool to find a version like this. Thanks!

Love all the 2 meter session recording 💞💞

2022

♥♥♥♥♥ We miss you, Shannon

Blind Melon = Autumn 🍂
