One of my favorite stripped-down MTV performances from that era was Blind Melon doing “Change.”
They never did Unplugged, but appeared on MTV Most Wanted.
Just them, the room, and Shannon Hoon’s voice.
“Change” and “No Rain” were their commercially successful tunes in contrast to “Toes Across the Floor,” which a lot of people still argue was the stronger song overall. I posted a live version yesterday.
The self-titled album (Blind Melon, 1992) went on to sell over 4 million copies in the U.S. (4× platinum).
“No Rain” hit No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on both the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts.
“Change” was more modest on the charts was more modest on the charts, but the song itself is about moving forward and staying optimistic.
That performance really highlighted Hoon’s unique vocal abilities.
“ We all can’t stay here forever so I’m going to write my words on the face of today.”

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Eddie Vedder, the frontman of Pearl Jam, performing a great rendition of The Waiting.
This is what the internet was invented for.
“I don't care what they say the final score was, it was Eagles 40, Chiefs 6 till the day I die.”
