Menghan Wang at the FB fan group found and posted another recent Australian interview with Hope & David, here:
http://themusic.com.au/interviews/all/2 ... ony-carew/
I'll volunteer to at some point put the 2018 interviews, including the radio ones, in text form and add them to the (separate) 2018 interviews thread.

Here's a compilation I made and put on youtube of short VIDEO clips, mostly from Instagram users, from Mazzy Star's Sydney shows June 11 - 13. It contains portions of 11 songs plus there's one complete song from yt. Unfortunately, all Instagram videos are short as they cannot be over 1 minute long.
https://youtu.be/sEQ8_6VMECQ

The video clips are from these songs and dates:
01 Flowers in December 2018-06-11, Starts at 0:06 mark
02 Lay Myself Down 06-11, 1:00
03 Into Dust 06-13, 2:37
04 Quiet, The Winter Harbor 06-11, 3:38
05 Look On Down From The Bridge 06-11, + 06-13, 4:38
06 Blue Light 06-13, 6:35
07 She Hangs Brightly 06-11 8:35
08 Fade Into You 06-11, 14:41
09 Blue Flower 06-11, 17:22
10 Halah 06-13, 18:23
11 Happy 06-13, 19:24
(Note: there are no clips included from the 06-12 show. None turned up that I know of
I applied image stabilization to the original clips to reduce shake and wobble. -Bob B./Hermesacat).

The set lists from the 3 shows, June 11, 12, and 13 were quite similar to each other re. songs played and order played in, with some variation. I'll post here just one set list. It's from 06-11. The order of my video clips stays close to the order the songs were played at the shows.

A helpful FB fan Group member David Cosgrove attended and recorded the June 11, 2018 Sydney show. David recorded the show on his phone in two separate audio files. He sent me his "part two" containing the last half of the show."Part one" I don't have from him yet. A small technical issue needs to be addressed first. With luck, I'll be able to share David's entire show recording via yt and as a downloadable audio file.

I also want to upload individually to yt some of the rarely performed live songs. This "Ascension Version" of "So Tonight That I Might See" is first one up, here:
https://youtu.be/neQIQdAeQCQ
"Part Two" of the show also contains the rarely performed songs "Happy" and "Wasted," which I'll put on yt shortly. In that Australian Radio interview with host Karen Leng Hope and David did the day following this June 11 show, Hope says this song was her favourite one of
the night.Here's that segment from the interview quoted:

KL: " What song did you enjoy playing most? What hit the nail on the head for you, 'cause we'll go out with that?"

HOPE: "Uh, for me it was 'Tonight That I Might See,' it was so strange, so, it was so experimental last night. I think that was my favourite one"

KL: "And it doesn't often go in that direction?"

HOPE: "Um, it does, but I don't think we've ever done that song where it's just me and Suki for the first two minutes [laughs]"

Here are three more complete songs from David Cosgrove's recording of Mazzy Star's June 11, 2018 Sydney show upped to my Hermesacat yt Channel:
-"Happy":
https://youtu.be/yorun9S2FMY
-"Quiet, The Winter Harbor":
https://youtu.be/wBin2e5Gpbw
-"Wasted":
https://youtu.be/eUX5G-Q_vGw

I thought I'd upload individually a few songs such as the above ones, ones most rarely performed live.
David has by now sent me both parts of his recording. It was in two audio files. I plan to put the whole show on yt in a single upload, plus will have a downloadable audio file listed in the Boots list here.

The yt uploads have audio quality equal to the original files. The show was recorded on a phone in lossy M4A (AAC) format. The youtube versions have the same AAC audio with no diminishment in bit rate.

I made EQ adjustments to improve the sound from the original. The original files were too "muddy" sounding, imo, with not enough mid and high ranges (which I boosted). The music and Hope's voice sound clearer and brighter than they did. As seems to often be the case with phone recordings nowadays, this one is quite listenable.

The recording is missing the last part of "She Hangs Brightly" and the beginning of "Fade Into You" as the person recording took a washroom break at that time. Luckily, the more rarely performed songs are intact. The two songs with missing sections are both ones Mazzy Star has played live a zillion times before and so there are lots examples of those to listen to. Fans whose fave Mazzy song is "Fade..." may not be pleased their song's missing a section, but for myself I'd rather have "Fade..." marred than the more rarely done songs.

If you check the Bootlegs list thread at this site, you'll find download links where anyone interested can download audio files of the complete June 11, 2018 Mazzy Star Sydney show recorded by FB fan Group member David Cosgrove.

I've also put audio of the whole show on my yt Channel in one upload, here:

ORA COGAN is excited she's opening for MAZZY STAR Nov. 1 at the Ventura, CA show (as the updated poster here shows). In her FB post from yesterday, Ora says, QUOTE:
"I can’t even deal right now. Thrilled to announce I’ll be opening for Mazzy Star at the Majestic Ventura Theater November 1st. Get your tickets at venturatheater.net."

Hope is a fan of Ora's, having cited Ora as an artist she likes on at least two occasions in articles from around 2016. And she included Ora songs on two playlists of artists they like that Hope and Colm put out publicly around that time. The two Ora songs Hope cites are "Ground and Grave" and "Daughter":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iPbyK- ... KorCY&t=0s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms3HcwwMYGc
They're from these two playlists from Hope and Colm:
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/hope-sando ... se-new-lp/ and:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... gVWtKKorCY

Hope's comment accompanying the song "Daughter" at The Brooklyn Vegan published playlist is, QUOTE:
"This gorgeous woman opened one of our West Coast shows. This is a great record, so glad she found us."

I believe Hope first encountered Ora's music when Ora opened for Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions in Vancouver, BC in 2009. I have Hope to thank for citing Ora, 'cause on checking out her music on Hope's rec, I became an Ora fan. Mazzy Star + Ora Cogan, that's a show I wish I wasn't having to miss.

Another Hope and Mazzy Star related connection is Ora is friends with talented Luz Gallardo who could be described as Hope's and Mazzy Star's official photographer who's taken so many memorable publicity and other photos of Hope, The Warm Inventions, and Mazzy Star over the past 17 years. Luz has said she too first met Ora at the 2009 Vancouver Warm Inventions show. Check out Ora Cogan's video for her song "Winter" on youtube. Luz Gallardo shot the mysterious, entrancing video images, a match for Ora's music in the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xwwGRqFcfQ

Thanks so much Emma for your excellent coverage of Mazzy Star's Nov. 1, 2018 Ventura show.

A few things I can add:
Here's a pic of a printed set list used on stage and was signed later by Hope (and David?). It was posted to Instagram by IG user mazzystarsmusic. The person who posted it noted the one deviation from the printed list is the band played just the opening parts of "Into Dust" before Hope had the band end it early due to a too noisy, chattering audience. mazzystarsmusic also upped a 1-minute video (sourced from another IG user) of Hope signing autographs after the show. Here's a cropped screenshot from it.
Also, here's a black and white photo someone took at the same autograph session which was upped to the Facebook fan group which I cropped.

I re-upped the autographs video to my own Hermesacat youtube Channel, here:
https://youtu.be/L2A0QtbhBpA
Photographer Luz Gallardo has so far posted two pics from the show to her "Shadowtime" Instagram page. This link first shows a pic of David. Click on the arrow at the side to switch to a Hope pic:

The Ventura audience was unfortunately very noisy with loud chattering through the whole show, although people nearer the stage were reportedly quieter. The venue served alcohol and many people were reportedly drunk and loud, especially in the balcony, according to attendees reporting in the FB Group.

Here are screenshots of all the brief reviews on Twitter of the show by I found when I looked. 7 out of 9 complain about the loud, rude audience:

We have another Mazzy Star show upcoming in less than 5 hours (at the time I'm writing this)! They play the Tropicalia Fest, Long Beach at 7 pm today (Nov. 3). Wish I was there.
