I found the Opal with Hope Sandoval show this is sourced from through a trader over the net many years ago. When I asked about Opal, he said he had a show from 1988 on VHS stored for over five years, but had never watched it or transferred it to DVD because no one had ever asked! He said it was acquired in Taiwan in an shady back alley known for black market items.
As sweet as it was to actually see Opal live, the music was a little rough. So I set out to improve it as much as possible. I ran it through a Yamaha 10 band equalizer to improve the audio and raise the sound level quite a bit. It's a much better listen now.
Update 2023: Another upgrade of this incredible moment in time was needed!
So I re-ripped the Opal bootleg DVD in HD. Remember, it was recorded in 1988 on VHS tape. The audio, unfortunately, was also recorded by the camera in poor quality, and a good audio source for this Opal show has never surfaced. So I took the original DVD audio that I ran through a passive Yamaha EQ when I first uploaded it years ago, and used some modern audio technology to really improve the sound and listening experience!
Despite Kendra Smith's departure in November of 1987, Rough Trade retained Roback's original record deal, contractually obligating him to supply a follow-up to Opal's debut album, Happy Nightmare Baby. As a result, Roback and Sandoval continued to tour as Opal for the next two years, during which time they completed production on Opal's planned second album, titled Ghost Highway. Composed mainly of songs written by Roback and Smith, Hope stated that she was unhappy with the material, and expressed an interest in wanting to "start something completely new." The pair quickly composed and recorded seven new tracks in Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, and renamed the band Mazzy Star. Written over a year before Mazzy Star's inception, the track "Ghost Highway" is the duo's only original (released) song to not feature a writing credit from Sandoval.
She Hangs Brightly was released in April 1990 on Rough Trade.

    In my opinion this is one of those tracks that should be better known It is brilliant and beautiful. I am typing this missive on the warmest day in the UK so far in 2024 . The track has a summer feel to it . . As good as anything Kendra has ever done in her long career. I would like to know who wrote this track. Was it David R or Kendra ? ditto the track "too little too late " on the DS album "days of wine and roses " (1982)

    What words describe Hope Sandoval’s voice? A mystifying finger that probes deep inside your heart. Of this world but apart from it. The voice that is turning inward to sing to herself first, not us. She has that wonderful look in her eyes, with those full lips that can inspire great poetry, and make me want to just quietly embrace her and say thank you thank you thank you.

    Better than his later band Mazzy Star imho. Opal is less ethereal and a bit more rooted in traditional folk, blues, and psychedelia of the sixties. Not anything against Hope Sandoval mind you, she's incredible too, but in a very different way meloncholicly. I could listen to this all day while dreaming of better days from a bygone era. If I had to pick another band it would be Cindy Lee which is basically just a darker, noisier version of this.Their latest release is a double cd set and it is absoluetly their very best work to date.
