LIVE SHOWS (Mostly) RECORDINGS LIST w/download links

Postby Hermesacat » Sun Oct 27, 2013 7:03 pm

A LIST OF DOWNLOAD LINKS TO MAZZY STAR / HOPE SANDOVAL / OPAL /:
CLAY ALLISON / KENDRA SMITH / RAIN PARADE / RAINY DAY / DAVID ROBACK /
SUKI EWERS RECORDINGS with DOWNLOAD LINKS

The most up-to-date / correct download links are found in the main list here below, i.e. the long list with short descriptions of shows. In many cases, links went bad and needed replacing, but I'd correct the links in the main list only, but not in the longer, individual write ups of shows with set lists and info, those write ups being found on subsequent pages in this thread. So, if you try a link found in one of the longer write ups, and it's dead, go to the main list to find the same show listed with a correct DL link.

Recent Updates:

Dec. 10, 2023, added
-Mazzy Star, 1994, Oct. 1 pro-shot VIDEO, day-1 set of 2-day, 2-set appearance at Neil Young's
annual Bridge School Benefit weekend. [the day-2, Oct. 2 set has long been available for DL via
this list, and has also been viewable on you tube for years. This Oct. 1 set has been the elusive, unavailable one. You Tube won't allow this Oct. 1 set to be uploaded there, only the Oct. 2 one]. See page 20 in this thread for set list and info.

Recording previously shared via dimeadozen.org by Dime member vacantrush.
Quality is only fair. There are audience voices close to the mic, not continually, but repeatedly many times through the show. Also, there is some distortion on the sound in many places. I don't know if it's due to the recording device, or the venue's sound system, or both. See page 20 in this same thread for set list and info.

July 14, 2022: an upgraded (improved) version of the audio recording from Mazzy Star's TV appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon , Nov. 25, 2013, where they played one song "CALIFORNIA." Site member and youtuber opalstardream shared his improved. The video has been listed in this thread since 2013. This audio sounds better than the audio on that video. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XZoQKu ... sp=sharing


...................................................................................................

This list was originally findable in the Forum at now defunct fan site Mazzy Star Boulevard & was primarily maintained & updated there by myself & sorcerer. Emma has given the go-ahead to have a boots thread at mazzystar.free.fr. Fans who possess recordings other than those listed here, or better quality alternate versions, hopefully may want to share them via download links posted in this thread &/or at popular live music sharing torrent site dimeadozen.org. ''Worthwhile music's for sharing, not hoarding,'' isn't it?

And with luck, more fans attending upcoming live shows will be able to record shows & share recordings. One doesn't need to own or borrow a recorder. Some music or camera equipment supply places rent small hand-held audio (or video) digital recorders quite suitable for live music by the day such as the apparently popular Zoom brand (models H1, etc.) audio recorders. I used a rented Zoom H1 to record Mazzy Star's 2013 Seattle show, & the sound turned out well.
***********************************************************************************************************************
I like to try to maintain audio quality of recordings by usually posting links in the best audio quality I know of,
lossless FLAC, whenever possible. But some people may prefer other formats for their own use.
There is a handy, easy to use, free audio format converter I like & would recommend called "Freemake Audio Converter" which converts audio files to what ever formats one prefers, & lets you choose the quality (bit rate) of MP3s including the 320kbps, the highest MPS bit rate.

I found another free audio converter that converts FLAC to MP3, & you can choose the bit rate, including 320kbps. It's here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonkenc ... =directory
Options > Configure Selected Encoder > Lame MP3 encoder configuration > Select CBR (Constant Bit Rate) >
Set Bitrate using slider. Sliding to far right gives 320kbps > OK

***********************************************************************************************************************
Each section's shows below are listed in more or less chronological order from earliest to later dates.

--In total, over 60 links listed below are, as of Oct. 2013, brand new ones (although most of the files are not new). Two of the file hosting sites I've been using, hotfile.com & filefactory.com, started a new policy where
files are automatically deleted if not DL-ed within 90 days. Many files had disappeared & needed to
be re-upped, plus some others needed updating, plus the links sorcerer had posted on the old list were all dead (perhaps deleted by file hosting sites after 90 days), & needed re-upping.

*****************************************************************************************************************************
Some of these files were originally posted in various early threads at the Mazzy Star Boulevard fan forum
by helpful Forum members such as reimdon, captainkirk, sorcerer, webmaster Anders, homeostasis,
& other helpful folks. Most files here were found by searching online. Popular live music (torrent) sharing site dimeadozen.org site has been a great source, & thanks go to the many generous Dime uploaders. Other files were kindly passed along by fans. Collector/taper Scott Simpson has generously shared many 1990s Mazzy Star shows he recorded himself or received in trade. And we are indebted to hanwaker (Uli) who generously provided files of so many shows and other recordings from his own collection in an effort to help improve this boots list as an archive. Thanks go to all sharers!

https://mega.nz/#!GUUwFTaL!Jmgae6DzA5Wo ... Km9CfpR7jA
This is an improved version with superior audio quality, & is different from the prior FLAC version
that had been listed earlier.This one's a file taken from the orig. master tape of orig. taper Scott Simpson.
Also, I corrected an audio error audible in earlier versions (a brief loud noise burst on one channel during the first song).This show is well recorded & contains 4 rare (unreleased) songs: It's a Shame, When You Were Young (a.k.a. Now That You're Gone), Where Did You Run To, & (title unknown - ''Bad Dreams Smile?''). It also contains the only live version I know of Before I Sleep. Hope's unusually talkative at this show, & what she says is, intentionally or unintentionally, mostly hilarious.

-Mazzy Star - 1990-08-25 - Club Lingerie, Los Angeles, CA FLAC: Includes
several still unreleased rarity songs:

This recording has 4 unreleased songs on it, including one I've tentatively dubbed "It's Over" which appears to be a unique rarity as it's the only recording I know of of this song.

Contains these two radio broadcasts: The Metro, Chicago, 12th November 1994 ,
& KROQ, Los Angeles, 10th December, 1994. Both those broadcasts have already been findable at this boots list
separately for some years. To my ears, the 2015 FMIC CD release has no better audio quality than the boots versions previously findable here. But you can judge for yourself. FMIC "label" is a bootlegger and their CD was not a legit or official release.

This show includes three unreleased rarities: Leaving on a Train a.k.a. Let That Be,
Mona (a cover), & Rock Section (a cover). Plus rare live versions of some released songs such as Happy,
Tell Me Now, Five String Serenade, & Umbilical. For a period of weeks in 2013 the link listed here for the Mint show linked to a bad copy of the audio file. It was missing one song, "Rock Section". Anyone who DL-ed the show & are missing "Rock Section", the above is a new link for a restored file that includes Rock Section.

An improved, alternate audio-source recording of this show I acquired thanks to hanwaker alerting me to it and sharing it with me in 2018. The prior version I had and shared starting in 2012 has poorer quality audio. This one's best. This show was the first show Mazzy Star played since 2000, twelve years previous.

(I can't resist mentioning an anecdote: hanwaker got to attend the post-show backstage gathering
where he met the band. He wasn't drinking with them as he was driving, so when he was leaving Hope
handed him a bottle of wine & told him to take it home. A welcome ''pleasant Hope'' story!)

-(Imo, Hope's singing's better on every 2013 show I've heard so far than on any 2012 recording I've heard. Something seems to have ailed her voice in 2012, but thankfully in 2013 she's singing as well as in the 1990s.)

Thanks go to youtuber & forum member opalstardream (David Morgan) for providing a new lossless FLAC version taken from his bootleg CD of the show. As of May. 2019, I've updated this show by adding a second sourced version of the song "Play With Fire" from this same gig. Imo, the track of that song forum member homeostasis once shared in compilation he put together sounds better than the track from David's CD rip. Both versions are included in this new upload:

A unique show as Hope faces unusual hostility from Boston audience members who swear at her, tell her to ''go home'', etc.,after Hope complains about too much audience chattering and about sound problems.
There's a lot of back-&-forth between Hope & the audience. Sample Hope quote: ''Boston is fuckin' scaring the Hell out of us!'' Aside from the few cringe-worthy back & forth talk sections, and a few sound issues, it's a good quality, very listenable music recording.

Quality is only fair. There are audience voices close to the mic, not continually, but repeatedly many times through the show. Also, there is some distortion on the sound in many places. I don't know if it's due to the recording device, or the venue's sound system, or both. See page 19 in this same thread for set list and info.

I LIKE YOUR BLOUSE:
https://mega.nz/file/vdkjHaSQ#md47RJpwF ... JYKwzk6Ghk
The original song snippet was only 1 min.+ long. I made a 2 min.+ extended edit to make it more like a full length song. The 1 min. snippet was soundtrack to a short video with dandelion imagery Hope S&TWI posted to a mysterious but official site, tendril tales.com, in 2016. Last I checked, the video is still findable there. My upload includes the original tendril tales site 1 min. video, plus 2 audio files of my 2 min. extended edit I made. I edited the song slightly differently this time, and think it sounds better. One audio file is identical in format and quality to the original. video's audio: AAC @256 kbps. The second is in MP3 format @320 kbps. These are both improved quality over the MP3 audio file I included in my last upload (2017). See p. 17 in this same thread for more info.

here for the audio of this show (+ separate short video clips). But this is the video version I upped to youtube
with audio of the whole show but incorporating 9 short live video clips from the show synched to the audio. Plus there's one full-song video for one song. Where video wasn't available, still photos from the show and elsewhere are used. I believe the audio quality of this original is better than yt delivers.

For collectors, it's a very interesting show as it's a rare early recording of Hope singing with Opal in North America shortly after she joined the band, replacing prior singer Kendra Smith. It's the only Opal-with-Hope show from 1987 I've yet heard. The only others I know of are all from Opal's March-April 1988 European tour. So, this one's a rare find. It's the earliest live show recording I've heard of Hope with Opal. The band changed its name to Mazzy Star in 1989. See p. 10 of tis thread for track listing & details.

The file previously listed here played so slow (flat) it didn't even sound like Hope singing.
In Oct. 2013 it was replaced with this repaired version. I repaired the speed problem using Audacity free
software by increasing the speed +9.7% which makes it much more listenable,
with Hope sounding like herself & the band sounding more in tune. It has nice, clear vocals,
plus some rare & worthwhile cover versions of songs.

See page 16 in this same thread for tracks and info. I believe this is the best sounding recording of Opal with Hope I have yet heard. See page 16 in this thread for info.

-Opal VIDEO (with Hope) 1988-03-25, Rimini, Italy, entire show in audience shot video.
https://mega.nz/#!TFdXmKqJ!MA0Z8QqF4O8m ... Wf1SzOy0to
[updated Mar. 19, 2016. The above upload is a single video file in .mpeg format replacing the prior listing
here (obtained from a DVD rip shared via Dimeadozen site) which had the video broken up into 4-parts and in .vob format. This new upload has identical video quality & file size as the prior one.

"Opal" in 1988 (post-Kendra Smith, who left late 1987) had Hope singing. She'd replaced Kendra Smith
as singer in November 1987 after Kendra quit mid-tour in the U.S. In 1989 Opal changed their name to Mazzy Star.All 5 of these Opal personnel became long-time Mazzy Star members. At this Opal show, the band
plays four songs that would later be played at many '90s Mazzy Star shows. Shot by an audience
member, this video's fairly good quality for a non-professional video. I don't know
of any other videos of Opal from Hope or Kendra-era. Quite watchable/listenable.

-Opal - Ghost Highway (one song), 1988 studio recording with Hope on vocals:
https://mega.nz/#!rBEgQIQa!h2lN4HruhP5g ... uWhHZoTYLs
A different version of the song than appeared later on Mazzy Star's 1990 album. It's the only studio recording credited to Opal with Hope singing that has seen the light of day, so far as I know.
Thanks go to David Morgan (opalstardream) who found it recently on an obscure promotional (non-commercial) cassette issued by Rough Trade Records in July, 1988, a compilation of songs from 15 Rough Trade bands. The song was the title song to the then forthcoming Opal album "Ghost Highway," an album that was never released.

-Rain Parade - 1983-01-20 L.A., Anti Club:
https://mega.nz/#!mQ0wjLaB!UEnLDCJqikpO ... FOjPhccRek
Found at torrent site dimeadozen.org. Upped there by Dime member kneesfudd. Good quality recording from 1st gen. audience tape. Rain Parade was a L.A. Paisley Underground band of the early '80s, David Roback's band prior to his forming Clay Allison/Opal.

-Rain Parade, 1983, December 2, Maxwell’s, Hoboken, New Jersey FLAC:
https://mega.nz/#!qJkwFAza!CkkO05dx7T4d ... kojGMcAgx4
Excellent sounding recording. A FLAC upgrade (as of Feb. 5, 2016) of a Rain Parade show previously findable in this Boots list in MP3 format. However, the prior recording found here was incorrectly labeled as being FLAC but in fact it was much smaller sized file in lossy MP3. So, this one's improved audio quality. It replaces the prior MP3 one. Thanks go to Dimeadozen .org members Guy_R_E and mjcrossuk for sharing it via DIME site. Ripped from a bootleg CD.

-Rain Parade 1984-09-18, Tropicana, Olympia WA, FLAC:

I believe David Roback had left the band by this time but they play many Roback-era songs here,
& it's a pretty good quality recording.

-Clay Allison 1984-03-16, Cathay, L.A., CA FLAC:
https://mega.nz/#!3ZlQ2AYK!qgA0NReIiHsd ... C8UiJypgLA

Clay Allison was an early name for the band Opal. They eventually dropped the name "Clay Allison"
in favour of "Opal". Kendra Smith was singer until Hope replaced her in Opal in 1988 after Kendra quit
the band. Opal's name was changed to Mazzy Star in 1989.

-Clay Allison - 1984-05-24, Ann Arbor Michigan FLAC:
https://mega.nz/#!aRlHEB7K!i8ksXoHstg7N ... USQIrYRRvc
Pretty good sound quality, & aside from Kendra singing C.A./Opal songs, it includes a nice version of David singing a standout song, "No Easy Way Down" from his earlier band "Rain Parade."

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzgPlY ... ude51DnB2Q
Going Home's 4-song set includes "Give You my Lovin'," later to become a Mazzy Star song. It also includes Opal's 7-song set with Kendra Smith singing. This is an improved audio version in FLAC replacing, as of March 18, 2014, the prior file listed here that was an MP3.

-Opal (w. Kendra Smith) 1987-05-24, Santa Monica (updated version),FLAC:
https://mega.nz/#!LV1G2DKY!GtO7aYKjPV8g ... YKBCnHnezs
This was a Texas Records show at McCabe's Guitar Shop.
There were two shows on this date. Opal played short sets at
both the early & late shows. Opal was just one of a number
of bands/artists that played the shows. Other participants
included Michael Stipe & Peter Buck of REM, Natalie Merchant,
Steve Wynn, Russ Tolman, Downey Mildew, Love Tacos.
These Opal recordings came from a large file of the entire
two shows with all artists that was uploaded to dimeadozen.org
torrent site. Anyone interested in downloading the whole show
should check the Dime site. It comes up there in a search
of "Opal". I included two non-Opal songs 'cause Kendra
guest sings on them. "Too Little Too late" is Steve Wynn
& Russ Tolman with Kendra. Steve Wynn & Kendra were both in
the band Dream Syndicate some years earlier. ''Hear the Wind Blow'' is a duet with Kendra
& Natalie Merchant on an Opal song. In Oct. 2013 I updated the file by adding the Kendra-Natalie
duet which I learned via opalstardream was missing from the prior upload listed here.

-Opal - Early Recordings, Vol. 2. Excellent out-of-print studio compilation of Kendra Smith era Opal originally released as L.P.s, & later, CDs. Vol. 2 was always an unauthorized release sourced from a cassette tape stolen from a personal bag of David Roback's in 1988. Vol. 1 was an authorized release. I've removed in from this boots list 'cause it's back in print as of Nov. 1, 2019
Vol. 2 FLAC:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzgPlY ... 1GffxQFhMQ
To Vol. 2 I've added, as of Oct. 2013, one extra song in MP3 that didn't appear on either of the ''Early Recordings'' Opal albums. It's Opal - If the Sun Don't Shine (an adaptation of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd song Jug Band Blues). David Roback sings on it. It was originally released on a Syd tribute album called Beyond the Wildwood (1987)with many bands contributing songs. Thanks go opalstardream for the recording of the song.
Opal's 1987 album Happy Nightmare Baby has louder style music than Mazzy Star's mostly quieter sound
would have. But Mazzy Star's sound is partly a return to the quieter, melancholy sound found in early Opal/Clay Allison, pre-Happy Nightmare Baby. Kendra applied reverb effect to her voice as Hope would do later.
Thanks go to hanwaker for upgrading this listing from what was an MP3 version by sharing his FLAC version.

-Four 1980s Opal/Clay Allison e.p.s & singles collected together, here:
https://mega.nz/#!fYch0axQ!-3TLjDWGFYOh ... bS4s4cW4cs
Included are: Fell From the Sun (1983 single + 1984 ep), Northern Line e.p. (1985), Indian Summer (1987).
Nine song recordings all together. These same songs are also found on the "Opal - Early Recordings" vols. 1 & 2 CDs
(see above) but the vinyl rips are good quality, & sound a bit different from the CDs, & some may prefer their sound. Includes scans of records & sleeves.

-Rainy Day - by Rainy Day. David Roback's out-of-print 1984 L.P., FLAC
project of 9 cover songs with Paisley Underground L.A. musicians
including Kendra Smith, Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson,Will Glenn, Steven Roback, Michael Quercio,
Karl Precoda, Mattew Piucci, Dennis Duck, & Ethan James. David produced, & is the only musician who
appears on all 9 songs. This is an improved version compared to the one originally listed here.
The 1984 release was a vinyl LP . This is a rip from the CD Rough Trade issued in 1989, in FLAC:

-The Suspects (Steve Wynn, Kendra Smith, Gavin Blair, Russ Tolman, Steve Suchil) compilation
https://mega.nz/#!PQ8g2S7S!WYRKCMKg_Gq2 ... LCDy7sDZLY
The Suspects was a late 1970s-early 1980s band that had Kendra Smith as singer. Kendra and Steve Wynn later went on to form Dream Syndicate. In Dream Syndicate she was bass player and rarely sang. This is a massive compilation of The Suspect's one (1979) single, plus demos, and many recordings from 4 different live shows, + a 1979 video session, See page 13 in this thread for more info.

***************************************************************************************************
GOING HOME, 2 recordings:

-Hope Sandoval's early duo Going Home, studio demos, 7 songs, pre-1988, FLAC:
https://mega.nz/#!Cc8ARJiY!FlnCBrdsOjw1 ... TJrOaxi80I
Includes "Give You My Lovin' " written by Hope's duo partner Sylvia Gomez
that later became a popular Mazzy song, proving Hope wasn't the only talent in Going Home. This same recording was previously listed as Hope's solo demos c1990, as that's the description on the circulating file. Much more likely is it's in fact Going Home, not Hope solo. In Going Home, Sylvia played guitar while Hope sang.

-Hope's early duo, "Going Home" opening for Opal with a 4 song set including "Give You my Lovin'", plus Opal's set with Kendra Smith singing, April 22 '85 FLAC:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzgPlY ... ude51DnB2Q
This same file is also listed in the Opal section (Kendra era) of the list (see above).

-David Roback solo radio appearance 1988-03-23 Rome FLAC:
https://mega.nz/#!GIcVAK5R!xXBhtsj3Ih-D ... Y0Y6mD6NRo
I believe David was in town for an Opal show but did a brief radio show by himself with an
interview plus three abbreviated songs solo. He's unusually open &
talkative. He sings "Soon Be Home", a Pete Townshend song from
the Rainy Day album, plus what he describes as a newly written song sounding
something like Opal's "A Falling Star" with new lyrics, plus a 3rd unknown song.

https://mega.nz/#!XIVA3KSL!kI33g7b4WKtM ... Zu-RH21Wng
This improved (expanded) version (new as of Sept. 27, 2016) has 12 songs.
This is a file I put together, with help from Forum member hanwaker who kindly supplied some FLAC versions
of songs that were missing, of 12 Hope collabs. she recorded over the years with
these other artists: The Chemical Bros., Air, Bert Jansch, Massive Attack (2 songs),
Vetiver, Dirt Blue Gene, Death in Vegas (2 songs), The Jesus & Mary Chain (2 songs), Psychic Ills.
Hope sings on all songs, & co-wrote at least 6 (The two Death in Vegas ones, the two Massive Attack, the Bert Jansch and Chemical Bros. ones). It also has the song Not at All, which was released in March, 2013, with Hope singing w. Dirt Blue Gene (known as the Warm Inventions when, along with Colm O'Ciosoig, they are backing Hope). I'll guess Hope wrote or co-wrote it too.It sounds like a HS&TWI song.

https://mega.nz/#!6FUVWYwK!G2znr27r1Qnk ... 7aU2riT9zU
Forum member hanwaker shared this better quality video file. It's higher quality (though not in HD. It's 480 pixel height) than poorer quality Vimeo versions viewable online, which is why I'm adding it here. Warning: it's XXX-rated. See p. 8 in this Boots thread for more info. re the video; see p. 3 of the "Band(s) History" thread for a long post with info. & Hope quotes re. song & video;

A compilation I put together of 13 cover songs played by Mazzy Star & Opal (w.Hope)
together with the same 13 songs in recordings by the original artists. A prior file listed here had
11 cover songs. This is an updated version with 2 more (T-Rex, & Echo & the Bunnymen). They play cover songs by The Doors, The Who, Bo Diddley/Rolling Stones, T-Rex, The Velvet Underground, Arthur Lee, Echo & the Bunnymen, Slapp Happy, Green on Red, The Colours Out of Time, Nina Simone, & Memphis Minnie

-Hope Sandoval with Acetone, 2017-11-15, L.A., Zebulon Cafe.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... XLpSkasonU
The DJ plays many unreleased recordings that typically would never get played on radio. All the unreleased recordings he plays are already findable in our Boots list here. However, he plays the entire Going Home studio recording (7-songs, Hope's 1980s duo with Sylvia Gomez. David produced the studio recording), and the DJ's version plays slightly faster/sharper than the version I knew. You might want to compare the two versions for pitch differences. See page 16 in this thread for radio show playlist and info.

New addition, Nov. 5, 2013.
-Mazzy Star - 2013-11-04, Seattle, WA:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/zVlHbOVd/Maz ... eattl.html

I attended this show & this is my own recording. There are some sound issues (my fault) on a few songs but most songs are very well recorded. A bonus is the Seattle audience was appreciative & respectful of artists by being quiet instead of loudly talking through the set as too often happens in other cities at Mazzy Star shows. Hope's voice is excellent, better than in any 2012 shows I've heard, imo.
I've also upped the whole show to youtube here:

Hi Hermesacat,

Thanks for taping and sharing the Seattle show. I just finished listening to it on YouTube and it's great. I had written before that the band mostly don't tinker with arrangements much except for the title track from 'So Tonight That I Might See' and indeed they tinkered with that one to GREAT effect in Seattle. It sounds like only part of the band came out for the first couple of minutes or so, then David came out and then later Hope. You can hear the lyrics clearer in this arrangement than any other i've heard and it's a mind-blowing, almost religious experience for those of us who love Mazzy Star. What a way to end the show!

One quibble: let's not make people talking during concerts an American vs. Canadian thing. People were talking in Vancouver while HSATWI's were playing 'Charlotte' and so Hope left in a huff. This had far more to do with the venue in my opinion as i had written before that theatres are better than clubs for these bands. It's nothing to do with the size of the venue but the style. In theatres one is far more likely to get a respectful crowd vs. the boozed up partiers in clubs. The venue in Seattle was a grand old theatre that has a certain ambience and so people tend to behave well at such. Good for them as we have a great show to listen to!

Thanks again Hermesacat and thanks Emma for your timely starting of this site!

Cheers from Mike

Another show from Mazzy's 2013 tour, San Francisco, Nov. 6 at The Warfield, has turned up at Dime torrent site here:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=471180

I've re-upped it to a file hosting site for those who prefer direct downloads, here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/25g2780 ... ncisco_zip
The SF show has the same 13 songs as the band played in Seattle, just played in a different order.
The sound quality's pretty good although some EQ adjustment can help it as Hope's voice has too much low end & not enough high end on it, imo. FLAC.

01 Look on Down From the Bridge
02 Cry, Cry
03 In the Kingdom
04 Lay Myself Down
05 Ride It On
06 Does Somebody Have Your Baby Now?
07Into Dust
08 She Hangs Brightly
09 Halah
10 Fade Into You
11 Blue Flower
12 Disappear
13 So Tonight That I Might See

Being focused on Mazzy Star's current tour has put me behind on getting some older recordings posted to this boots list. Here are some new (mostly vintage) additions:

-Mazzy Star - 2013, Nov. 13, Chicago, Vic Theatre:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/264g6zydsun9
From an upload to Dime by radiohead898
Good quality recording
The track listing is findable at another thread in the forum.
_________________________________________________________________

-Mazzy Star - 1994, June 18 - Bristol, at The Fleece:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/706vbza ... ristol_zip
From a Dime upload by whiskybob. He also upped two more Mazzy shows last month, both from Manchester, 1993 & 1994. I hope to up them to file hosting sites & post them at this list soon. I haven't even listened to them yet myself. whiskybob wrote at Dime that he has some other 1990s Mazzy shows he also promises to share via Dime. Here's the track listing for the Bristol show:
Give you my lovin'
Blue light
Bells ring
Hair & skin (Green on Red cover)
Ghost highway
She hangs brightly
Ride it on
Into dust
Flowers into December
Halah
So tonight that I might see
Let that be (a.k.a. Leaving on a Train) - (unreleased)

-It's a pretty good recording. To give it a letter grade I'd give it a B. Hope's vocals could be clearer & more prominent in the mix, but it's still quite listenable. David plays some really good psychedelic guitar on She Hangs Brightly, & So Tonight That I Might See.

14 Take Everything
15 Cry Cry
This show was already findable on this list but by a different (unknown) taper. This is a different recording of the show, & comes directly from taper Scott Simpson's master tape. I upped this file to the Dime site a few
weeks back. Scott's kindly been sending me WAV files taken from his master tapes he recorded at Mazzy shows in the 1990s, & I've been upping them on his behalf via Dime & posting links here.
It's been a gradual project. Mercury Lounge 1994 is the last of five of his own Mazzy recordings yet to be converted to WAV from his masters. Hopefully, it will be next. There's already a pretty good version of his Mercury Lounge recording listed in this list, a rip from a bootleg CD. Scott used good gear & made some excellent recordings. He also has approx. ten other 1990s Mazzy shows on tape he received in trades that aren't on this boots list, & which I've not yet heard. With luck, they'll all come out eventually.

Here are two more Mazzy shows upped via dimeadozen.org by Dime member Whiskybob.
I've re-upped them to file hosting sites for direct download.

Mazzy Star 1993, Oct. 21, Manchester, University of Manchester.

(Hope's vocals are generally a bit clearer in this recording than on the Bristol one posted earlier. A quite listenable show)

Mary of silence
Ghost highway
Rock section
Bells ring
Give you my lovin'
Halah
Blue flower
Ride it on
Into Dust
Flowers in December
Blue light
So tonight that I might see
**********************************************************
Mazzy Star, 1994, June 17, Manchester, University of Manchester:

(There are lot of audience chatterers at this show although they become less audible as the show progresses. Hope's vocals aren't so clear until the middle of the second song when the soundman must have adjusted the mix. She sounds much better, & the sound's good, after that).

Give you my lovin'
Blue light
Bells ring
Ghost highway
She hangs brightly
Ride it on
Flowers in December
Fade into you
So tonight that I might see
Hair & skin
Let that be
Blue flower
**********************************************
My Dime "editorial":
The dimeadozen.org site's great, but has drawbacks. Once a Dime user's share ratio falls & stays below 0.25 they get blocked from further DLs until they upload a new torrent file of their own, or re-up someone else's old one, to get above 0.25 again. Last I looked at the site's stats, fully 69% of registered Dime users were below the 0.25 ratio. It's far too easy to get stuck below that 0.25. Something's wrong with this picture. Plus, Dime torrents get removed if they haven't been DL-ed within 15 days, & it might be years, if at all, before someone re-ups them. Many of the audio files listed in this boots list originally came from Dime torrents, but most of those shows have disappeared from Dime's active torrents list & are no longer available there.
[Later update: It seems it's a lot easier to keep ones DIME share ratio healthy if one DLs files early on, when there's still demand for them, rather than weeks or months after they were first posted to DIME. Also, as hanwaker advised me, leaving ones torrent platform & computer on 24/7 helps a lot]

Thanks Yaz_Rock for the 2009 Hope show link. Nice. I'll add your link to the main list above, along with your
link for the Nov. 20, 2013 NYC Mazzy show.

*****************************************************************
-A file of the Nov. 22, 2013 Philly show turned up at Dime:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=473148
Set List:
01. intro
02. Look On Down From The Bridge
03. Cry Cry
04. In The Kingdom
05. Lay Myself Down
06. Ride It On
07. Does Someone Have Your Baby Now
08. Into Dust

10. Halah
11. Fade Into You
12. Blue Flower
13. Disappear
14. encore break
15. California
16. So Tonight That I Might See

The sound's good, except for the prominence of loud talkers chattering during songs in places.
It may actually be the worst 2013 recording I've heard so far for loud talkers in the audience being so apparent
at times. I've re-upped the Philly show here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/62m85srntdzd
for those preferring direct DL.

****************************************************************
An addition: [The description below mostly comes from the video description I wrote at my youtube upload of this same file]:
Maybe it could be dubbed "Seasons of Their Rarities", a compilation I put together of every still unreleased Mazzy Star song I know of that the band played live at some point, including covers, but which has never yet been put out in a studio version, FLAC:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/5u674dt ... _shows_zip

Track Listing:
1 It's a Shame (1990, Aug. 9, Woody's, NYC)
2 Where Did You Run To (originally played by Hope's early duo Going Home)
(1990, Aug. 9, Woody's, NYC)
3 (title unknown ["Bad Dreams Smile"?])(1990, Aug. 9, Woody's, NYC)
4 When You Were Young (a.k.a. Now That You're Gone) (2000, June 4,venue: Loppen, Copenhagen)
5 Leaving on a Train (a.k.a. Let That Be)(2000, June 4, Loppen, Copenhagen)
6 That Way Again (2000, June 4, Loppen, Copenhagen)
7 It Speaks of Distance (1994, March 17, CBGBs, NYC)
8 Plain Gold Ring (cover of a song best known via Nina Simone's 1958 version)
(2000, June 4, Loppen, Copenhagen)
9 Rock Section (The Colours Out of Time &/or Skin Patrol cover)
(1994, March 17, CBGBs, NYC)
10 Mona (Bo Diddley/Rolling Stones cover)(1997, March 23, The Mint, NYC)

Aside from the three cover songs, the titles to these songs may not be the true titles but rather tentative ones that might have been placed on them by tapers of live shows.

All these songs have appeared in uploaded files findable in this boots list previously but scattered across
separate uploads. I thought it would be good to collect all known unreleased Mazzy songs together into one compilation. I don't know why I didn't think of doing this sooner as it seems an obvious good idea now.

Btw, the song Rock Section, a cover, is often cited as originating with The Colours Out Of Time's 1981 single, but another band, Skin Patrol, reportedly performed it first, as early as 1979 at London club, The Bat Cave.

Also, the three 1990s recordings here from the Woody's show are improved quality here as they come directly from original taper Scott Simpson's master tape. Prior uploads of the same show came from recordings at least one tape generation removed from the original. Thanks go to Scott too for "It Speaks of Distance" & "Rock Section" from his 1994 CBGB's recording master. I don't know who the tapers are of the excellent Copenhagen 2000 show, or the 1997 one from The Mint, but thanks, who ever you are.

"Plain Gold Ring" here sounds significantly (wildly?) different from Nina Simone's version.
This Mazzy Star version could be considered a precursor to Hope's "For the Rest of Your Life", a song Hope included on her 2009 Warm Inventions album "Through the Devil Softly", as the music in the two songs has so many similarities. Hope's credited as songwriter on "For the Rest of Your Life" which suggests she may also deserve some credit for the rewrite of the music for "Plain Gold Ring".

Hope has been a long time Rolling Stones fan from an early age (her duo, Going Home she started in high school with friend Sylvia Gomez is named after an early Stones song title). It may be likely it's the Stones' version of Bo Diddley's "Mona" she first heard, which would make this Mazzy Star version a cover of a cover.

The song "Give You My Lovin' " which appeared on Mazzy Star's 1990 debut album is a song that, like "Where Did You Run To", originated as a Going Home song. Sylvia Gomez wrote "Give You my Lovin' " . I don't know if Sylvia also wrote "Where Did You Run To", or if Hope wrote it, or if they co-wrote it.

You're welcome, and thank you Hermesacat for all your work! I just spent the last two days downloading and burning to CD some of these gigs. I saw a few of them on tape/CD trading lists back in the 1990s, but I never had anything to offer up in return. I remember seeing someone selling The Other Sides CD for 20 bucks, and I passed thinking that was a lot of money back then. At some point I downloaded an incomplete MP3 version but it had some clicks and pops.So cool to have the real deal now.

I also never saw Mazzy Star live until this week (as I'm sure many people will also say). So it's been nice to have so much new Mazzy Star music this past few days! I love those unreleased live songs from the early 1990s, those I had not heard before at all.

Hey, it's a labour of love.

I upped your Nov. 20 NYC recording (here's the link for it you shared elsewhere in this forum in case anyone reading this missed it:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/W_uMaMvI/Maz ... r_20_.html )
to Dimeadozen.org today here:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=473347
I think Dime makes people sign up (free) as members before one can read any
of their pages, including the above one (another Dime defect, imo. Because their pages can only be read by members it means their torrent listings don't come up in google searches. Not good, imo).
I cited your web site,
http://www.yazcountry.com/rob/concerts/
in the torrent description at Dime

Btw, was there another guy beside you also recording the NYC show who handed you his business card? I ask because Scott Simpson was there taping & wonders if it was you taping next to him. He's grateful now to have your (fine) recording as his unfortunately turned out poorly with portions of the show missing.
Scott's the guy who made five memorable 1990s Mazzy Star recordings starting way back in 1990. It's 23 years later, & he's still taping Mazzy shows! Good for him. His 1990 Woody's show is an early-Mazzy classic, imo, the best recording I know of from the 1990 tour, with the best recorded versions I know of of those early unreleased songs you mention. Mazzy didn't do another tour after that till 1993-4.

This 2013 tour was the first time I got to see Mazzy or Hope live too. (Much) better late than never. Seeing the band live whets my appetite to see more shows, & I wish I'd seen more than one this tour even though set lists are similar. Having a number of show recordings from the tour to listen to may be next best thing to being there in person. And Hope's singing's so good this year (much better than in 2012, imo). 2013 Mazzy Star sounds like 1990s Mazzy Star!
