Not amazingly related to the thread but my own post made me think of it ---
While Mary Fahl surprised me the most live with the differences between her music and personality, I've seen
Hope Sandoval (formerly of Mazzy Star) live a few times and she is
exactly the same as you'd expect from her albums. During her tour for
So Tonight That I Might See, I saw her at the Metro in Chicago and, during the show, the snap/zipper on the back of her dress must have broke. She just wandered off mid-song holding her dress closed, came back a minute or two later, mumbled "sorry" in a barely coherant voice and began singing again. That was honestly the most emotion I've ever seen that woman convey.
She's a
beautiful woman and I love her voice and wasn't disappointed in the shows musically but, God damn woman, light a fire under your *** for a few minutes from time to time.
