A dead man in a dress electrified 300,000 mud people. The '90s were wild.
Following the success of their eponymous debut in 1992, Blind Melon succumbed to the familiar tale of falling into the debauchery which comes hand in hand with rock ‘n’ roll riches. Their set on the main stage on day two at Woodstock '94 would mark the band at the peak of their powers as they delivered a performance that would have even stood out in ’69. For the exhilarating set, frontman Shannon Hoon opted to wear his girlfriend’s white dress which was quite the statement back in ’94, a time when society was no way near as progressive as it is today and signified the sort of accepting character that he was.
