the dream syndicate were one of the best '80s bands, without a doubt. i still spin days of wine and roses frequently, as well as the medicine show. the live records are all good, and the later studio albums are decent, if not spectacular.
i saw steve wynn a bunch of times in the late '90s, the last time being in 2001 right before 9/11. one of my favorite bands, come, backed him on his 1996 album, melting in the dark, which was fantastic. his live shows are always fun, and he never fails to bust out a few dream syndicate songs.
sadly, i will be managing a show at the warehouse that night, so i'm going to have to skip out this time.
