    About 2 Meter Sessions
    ====================
    Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
    Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
    The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zeeland band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

    Shannon Hoon was the link between 90s grunge and 60s psychedelic rock. That connection was severed when he died and nobody ever really reestablished it.

    In '92 I was tending bar late on a Sunday night @ Daddy Warbux in Ybor City, Tampa. Textbook dive bar, nothin' happenin'. "Auto" comes in and asks if I wanna see a band after I close, says his buddy's workin' the door and we can get in for free. I'm in. So we go to the pool 'n' pub, stroll in and the place is EMPTY. It's an old theater with the seats removed and the floor's slanted so all the tables wobble. there's like 5 or 6 people and this band starts playing. They play a whole set without a word because there is no crowd to acknowledge. I'm thinkin,' these guys are pretty good, where's the fans? A few weeks go by and I hear "No Rain" on the radio and the video's a huge hit on Mtv. I instantly recognize the song and surmise that these guys were readying themselves for a tour. Close brush with greatness.

Many people may even have watched them perform live, bought their memorabilia and therefore have been slightly upset when he died at such a young age. As such, those same people may have looked up videos of Blind Melon playing on UA-cam and written melancholy, wistful comments about Shannon Hoon. Stay safe, wherever you are.

      This was professionally lit and filmed with a broadcast quality camera on broadcast quality video tape. In other words, a lot of time went into preparing this to look good.
      With security cameras, they usually record to cheap media because they are constantly recording and it would be (among other things) prohibitively expensive to use high quality equipment for something that sees routine, daily use.
