This Opal video clip comes from a longer video upped to yt by youtuber Ffej Uadlos, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBMh1CgBDT4 . Ffej attended this show and filmed parts of 4 bands\’ sets. I\’ve improved and reupped just his entire Opal segment. Below are quotes from his own video description:
QUOTE: \”Before this event took place, SST had scheduled a festival in the L.A. area with Sonic Youth headlining but it fell through, so instead they held this festival on the steps of the main gym at UC San Diego, with Opal headlining.
\”The silly name of the event was a play on the beneficiary of the proceeds (providing food to low income people), and the SST label.
\”For some reason I couldn\’t or didn\’t grab a betamax recorder to capture the whole thing, and instead I used a 3/4\” pro setup with two or three 20 minute videotapes. The event organizer, Frank Yaur, was kind enough to let me have full access. In retrospect I would have captured much less of Lawndale and all of Opal\’s set, but it is what it is. The event was broadcast over UCSD\’s radio station KSDT.\” (-Ffej Uadlos)
-I made some improvements to the original yt upload by editing out a 15 seconds long frozen frame/silent section that was mid-song, plus restoring the correct order of songs. The original upload oddly had placed the incomplete \”Happy Nightmare Baby\” (the 5th song of their set) at the beginning, with the intro and first song, \”Rocket Machine,\” following. We know the full set list from an audio recording of the radio broadcast (see download link below). Here\’s the complete set:
01 Rocket Machine
02 Magick Power
03 Supernova
04 Rock Section (Colours Out of Time cover)
05 Happy Nightmare Baby
06 Soul Giver
07 Siamese Trap
08 (Unknown song)
Kendra quit Opal a few months after this show mid-tour after their Nov. 12, 1987 Providence, RI show opening for JAMC. Hope Sandoval replaced her as singer about a week later and the tour continued. Following Kendra\’s departure, the band regrouped in New York with Hope recruited as new singer. In 1989, Opal with Hope changed their name to Mazzy Star. These facts were stated by drummer Keith Mitchell and someone else close to the band. Plus Hope has said in an interview she flew to NY to join the band. A tall tale making the rounds on the net claiming Kendra quit the band in London by storming off stage mid-set is false. There was a 1988 Opal tour of Europe, but Hope was singer on it.
