First show of Mazzy Star's 2012 "comeback" tour, which was their first tour in twelve years (previous one was in 2000. As I post this, this month, April, 2022, is 10th anniversary of their comeback tour. They'd released their comeback single, Common Burn / Lay Myself Down in 2011 (first Mazzy Star record release since 1996). In 2012, they toured California and Europe. In 2013, they did a North American tour and released their Seasons of Your Day album.
I believe this is the first live version of the song "Common Burn" I've put on you tube. It's a song they played live only five times, that I know of. They played it at 5 out of 6 of their 2012 California shows. They appear to have not played it at all on their European tour later in 2012, or in subsequent (or previous) years, as far as I know. A setlist.fm listing for the June 3, 2012 Shepherd';s Bush Empire 02 show, London, lists Common Burn, but I suspect it's an error since a recording of the show plays straight through without apparent gaps and does not include that song.

COMMON BURN (attempted lyrics transcription)
Simple things like your overcoat
And your beauty
That still are burnin' me
Let me hang around
Even if it's just some way
To have some common burn
A common burn
So I spend the night in someone's house
That you cluttered
Oh simple me that you fled
But we have that in common
That common burn
That common burn
Oh, well
Haven't I said
So many times before
You could sit around
And have everything that you score
Just don't come home and say you've been asleep
When you know you're burnin' someone
That common burn
That common burn
You know we have

There is a good story about how pedal steel player Josh Yenne unexpectedly and suddenly joined the band the very day of this show, and played with them that same night on a few songs. Josh stayed a member of Mazzy Star's live shows band line up through the years, up to and including their last show they played, March 2, 2019, Mexico. In addition to pedal steel, he played second guitar.
QUOTE: "Sonoma resident Josh Yenne...was working in Petaluma’s Tall Toad Music store, when in walked some of the members of Mazzy Star, the band known for its 1994 hit 'Fade Into You,' who were playing that night at the nearby Mystic Theatre. They got to talking, learned that Yenne played pedal steel guitar, and invited him to sit in during sound check. Then they invited him to play at that night’s show. A week later, he was playing with them at the Coachella Music Festival." (-2018, August 9, Sonoma Index Tribune, Article / Interview with Josh Yenne)
