Mazzy Star played two songs live on this appearance on the "Later...With Jools Holland" show. First was Blue Flower (cover of a Slapp Happy song). It is uploaded here: • Mazzy Star - BLUE FLOW... .Second was Fade Into You. Clips of these two song recordings from Jools' show have long been findable on you tube. But as far as I know, none of the other current yt uploads include host Jools' intros to the songs and his comments. Jools is omitted from other versions on yt. Since I have versions of the two song performances with Jools' comments intact, I'm adding them to my yt Channel. I've decided to up them as two separate uploads (they were from two separate broadcast segments on the original TV show), and make a two-song channel playlist for them.
I acquired a video clip with the segments with show host Jools speaking, when it was shared years ago via dimeadozen live show torrent sharing site. My 1st upload attempt was earlier today when I included Mazzy Star's performance from the same video source as the Jools segments. But the image quality is not the best, so I made this new upload using for the band's performance the version found at a yt upload by, I believe, youtuber "magicians," and joining the short Jools parts to it.
Johnny Cash & June Carter appeared on the same Jools show broadcast. You can find clips of Johnny's Jools performance on yt. Hope's BF of the time, JAMC's William Reid, is easily visible in the audience in the Johnny Cash clips.
Hope told an entertaining story in an interview of how she and Mazzy Star bass player Jill Emery chased down Johnny's limo and made it stop as it was pulling away from the BBC studio after the Jools show, so they could meet him. Here's an excerpt from a Hope interview where she recounts the story, QUOTE:
In Britain, many people first heard Mazzy Star when they
appeared on Jools Holland’s Later show alongside Johnny
Cash in ‘94. As well as counting as some endorsement, being
invited to play on the same bill as the Man in Black must have
been pretty mind-blowing.
HOPE: "Yeah, it was amazing. Jill Emery (then Mazzy Star’s bass
player) and I went to look for him. He had his own floor
- a whole area blocked off at the BBC. We managed to get
in somehow, but he was gone. We ran down to the parking
lot just in time to see this big limo pulling away, so we
just ran after it, waving and shouting STOP! And they
stopped, opened the door and there he was. He shook our
hands, said he loved our songs, and told us to take the
right path in life. It was incredible. We went back to
our dressing room and told the rest of the band ‘You won’t
believe what just happened!’ They were really jealous."
The story is recounted with jovial pride, and the incongruity of
Sandoval as celebrity stalker is not lost on the singer. (-The Quietus, Dec. 29, 2009)
In the same Hope interview, there's also this passage, QUOTE: "It turns out that the ever-reticent Sandoval - who insists on playing concerts in darkness and prefers audiences to remain silent and still - was asked to get up and sing with Cash, but was too nervous to accept the offer. 'It was hard enough to sing Mazzy Star’s songs live', she admits in such rueful tones it's hard not to smile." (-The Quietus, Dec. 29, 2009)
