Terrastock II, San Francisco, CA

Lured out of retirement one last time, Kendra played Friday night,

the first of a three day festival, for just under a hour.

"About a thousand people watched Kendra Smith yet made no sound. You

could have heard a pin drop, and it is an image I will never forget. At first the

silence was out of respect, almost reverence. Later it was due to a complete

hypnotic trance. This reclusive musician has appeared in public very seldom

since her days in Opal and Dream Syndicate. Neatly divided into thirds, her

set featured her (solo) on pump organ, bohemian tar (a gourd-bodied lute),

and acoustic guitar. At one point an audience member called out a request for

"Magick Power" (an Opal song) to which she replied "No, I'm already using that".

I have no doubts whatever."
