Jesus and Mary Chain + Hope Sandoval

One more quick note: Rock Tourist has hit LA a few times in the last few months, and on the 23rd of October we hit the Wiltern Theater for the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club/Jesus and Mary Chain Show.
The Jesus and Mary Chain has been doing “Just Like Honey” with various female backing vocals – you’ll recall we caught Scarlett Johansen singing the song with them at Coachella Last year. So we were excited to see who they’d get this time.
Lo and Behold, it was none other than Hope Sandoval, of Mazzy Star. They finished up “Just Like Honey” and went right into their 1992 or so hit “Sometimes Always” and I was just in bliss. I had caught that tour back in the day, two shows of it, but they only played it at the Boston show, as the Providence show they seemed to be in a fight. Anyway, Hope looked awesome – older but just as good – and it has made me forgive and forget the catastrophic Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions appearance here in Boston.
The Chain also played Darklands and Nine Million Rainy Days, back to back for the encore, so, come on. seriously. How awesome is that?
