By far one of the most unappreciated and underrated bands of all time!

Blind Melon was a band that was way ahead of their time! Anyone who is sick of the new bands coming out today, this is a must have for those who want to listen to something good as well as a familiar point in time. They were robbed of so much potential when Shannon Hoon had overdosed in 1995 but their music was so unique that their fans will always be fans and their music will always be remembered!

LOVE this video

I had this video on VHS some years ago and lost it. I got the DVD and love it. I'm a huge Blind Melon fan and unfortunately there isn't a lot of of interview footage because they didn't do much. However, "Letters from a Porcupine" features all their full length videos in addition to Super 8 footage taken by the band and some impromptu and formal interviews. If you're a true Blind Melon fan, this is the best you can do.

Lack of information

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2010

If you're expecting to get well informed of Blind Melon then this is not for you. After watching Letters from a Porcupine I have clear images of how the musicians looked when the band started, and then how they started to change throw their career. However I was expecting for a documentary and this is everything but it...

Even though you can enjoy a lot of songs, and great performances in Woodstock and in acoustic shows and beautiful concerts, the information regarding the history of the band, and the interviews are very dissordered, meaningless and incomplete.

I was very dissapointed as I was looking for recent impressions of the band members, more than watching the videoclips or enjoying the live cuts and the curious "behind cameras" stuff.

Remember how sick of the bee girl you were and "No Rain" just playing and playing and playing over again on the radio? I remember... I also remember when I got over that and really gave Blind Melon a chance. They are by far one of the most underrated bands to ever have a hit song. Behind the Music, along with the rest of the world, only remembers and depicts Shannon Hoon's tragic flaws and images of that darned bee girl. This DVD (or the video version even) will give you a perspective of what the whole band was about, and not strictly with respect to "No Rain". Buy this and get an understanding that may change your musical perspective forever...

Great portrait of the band!

As the title said the "letters from a porcupine" DVD delivers a great portrait of some parts of the band that you might not been able so see otherwise. Lots of amazing interviews with all members and footage of songs that really gives the previous Blind Melon fan something to thrive in. To sum it up, 6/5 stars, if you already love Blind Melon this is a must have.

Great Music Video!

I heard this was a great Music Video...and I heard right. I ordered this from Amazon.com and received it fast and in perfect condition. It has a great documentary of the band, plus it has many Blind Melon music videos. Definately a must buy for Blind Melon fans. WARNING: Shannon Hoon does show uncensored full frontal male nudity in this video...so this vid isn't for kids.
