These dudes are FUCKING KILLING it. Sound better than they did in the 80's

[markfletcher]

I saw them at a concert at my university in 1982 or 1983. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

[markbrooks]

Magnificent drumming from Dennis Duck pushing things along.

[bufordathens]

This is absolutely maddening. I cannot get over the sound. IT is better than it was live some 35 years ago. Steve Wynn is sounding his best.

[strictlynorton]

Just discovering these cats. The album they released in mid 80's was easily as good anything Tom Verlaine did with Television. So glad they're still playing and sounding savage. Huge talent on display here. Big up KEXP for giving them global reach.

One of the best Neo Psychedelic Rock bands incomprehensibly underrated and that will forever be part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. In their album "The days of wine an roses", perhaps their most relevant work, they reached the highest levels of rock at the time. From what can be seen they have not lost the "feeling" of their best times.
Beautiful concert that has transported me to my best years of youth.
Magnificent !!!

[ericswenson]

I love this band. Saw them years ago in Denver with REM. Incredible guitarist

[pazgil]

Absolutamente majestuosos. Me han dado fuerza para vivir desde que los conocí con 17 años y tengo ya 54!!!! Thanks a lot for your extraordinary sound. Especially your bass line. Perfection to my

"I got Dream Syndicate on the stereo baybee it's going to be all right." 🎶❤️

[realmusiklover]

Well, this just plain out frickin' rocks doesn't it?  As an earlier poster said, sounding even better than they did in the '80s.  Dream Syndicate have always been a seriously underrated band, great to hear them in this form.

[rikvanhorn]

Great band. I was lucky enough to get a chance to talk with Steve a couple months ago. Wonderful guy.

[carlosclerinsestrada]

They still have the Spirit of their 1st n 2nd LPs! Energetic!

[mike]

I only have two DS lps, THE DAYS...and OUT OF THE GREY. About five years ago I tried to find a cd copy of THE MEDICINE SHOW(no turn table then). No luck. Record shop tried to order one but told me it wasn't on cd. Have a turntable now but money is super tight. Someday. LP is available at same shop. These guys are STILL KILLING IT!! WAY more vital than a TON of older bands who should quit(won't say which ones;lol).

[varsitycamplife]

Love this... dueling Jazzmasters. That was a treat!

[musibaba]

Wohh... the first chords sounded and it took me back to those years, they sound so good... not better !! 👌🏽💖

[JayGorham]

I was so privileged to be one of the last folks to sneak in for this show! They are so ON here, it is crazy! I am looking forward to the new release and the tour!

[TheIkaraCult]

The Days of Wine and Roses is an amazing song

[mynamismudd]

This obviously wasn't about giving those old songs one more playing for the people who remember them.They were playing for real. What an outstanding performance. Up there with Live at Raj's

[MrZipdang]

If there's a better twin guitar attack in rock'n'roll, I've never heard it! Astoundingly good band, they always have been.

Awesome trip through memory lane.  I was one of the worst college DJs to ever to grace the cable waves.  One of my best/worst memories was interviewing Steve Wynn of Dream Syndicate in 1983. My LA teenage life was saved in the late 70s from a heavy metal hell by Nick Lowe, Iggy Pop, Television, and, of course X.   I came to love the LA punk sound and really loved Dream Syndicate  I was going to Dream Syndicate Show the next night when I was doing my show and and one of the DJs who was high school friends with Wynn brought him by during my show unannounced.  I was unprepared, star-truck, and tongue-tied.  But Wynn was such a kind soul that he bailed me out to pretty much interviewed himself.  He eventually veering into questions that led him to tell about lurid sex shows in Tijuana the night before the people talked about for a long time.  It was brilliant.  I had long since given up on any thoughts of a career in media so it did not sting for long.  Hope this tour comes to my town
