Mazzy Star

Mazzy Star was good, but Opal was better.

I got WAY too stoned and went to a Mazzy Star show at First Ave and almost fell asleep.

I recall doing that in Chicago around '95 or so with a similar issue. Thankfully the fact that JAMC came on after them provided a rousing wakeup call. I remember Hope being nice enough to come out and do Sometimes Always with Mary Chain at the end though. Or maybe it was just the drugs...

Were you at the show at Lounge Ax, when Mazzy Star played on the hottest day of the year, and HS performed in a mere bra and panties? I think that was '95.

And if that wasn't great enough, the opener was Codeine.

I really liked them till I saw them live, short show and had the personality of a piece of wood and that is an insult to trees

Nope - show was at the Riv. I was up in the balcony, show was in November I think. Do recall having a real nice sundae at Zephyr's up on Wilson afterwards though
Velvet Crush, Mazzy, and Mary Chain. Nice show.

Never got the chance to see 'em, so I guess I'm glad that didn't ruin the band for me.
I had a similar experience with the Pixies back in the Doolittle days- I was (and am) a huge fan, but after seeing a lackluster show I couldn't listen to them for a while.
