Though singer\/guitarist Steve Wynn<\/strong><\/a> introduces this set to the audience as a set of covers, this KPFK broadcast is balanced between covers (Bob Dylan<\/strong>, Donovan<\/strong>, Buffalo Springfield<\/strong>) and Dream Syndicate<\/strong> tunes. A wiry, distorted, edge-of-mayhem set, it captures the intensity of a Dream Syndicate show of the era, just before their major label debut (1982’s Days of Wine and Roses<\/em>, hence the title of this release). A few of these tracks appeared previously on the 1992 Tell Me When It’s Over<\/em> best-of compilation, but the remainder had previously only been issued on vinyl in Germany.<\/p>\n Though the group’s studio debut was an organic document itself (recorded in a single evening), this live show is perhaps an even more faithful documenting of the band’s power. They’re clearly having fun: some sly in-jokes can be found on this live broadcast, including a quick quote of a well-worn U2<\/strong> riff.<\/p>\n Wynn’s new liner notes make clear the historical importance of the show, and lays bare some of the band’s influences. The Day Before Wine and Roses <\/em>is another in Omnivore Recordings’ series of fascinating reissue\/rescue efforts, and is essential listening for Dream Syndicate fans (especially those who dig their more unhinged live material).<\/p>\n Note: Due to an unusually full schedule last week and this week \u2013 you wouldn’t believe me if I told you \u2013 my posts will be a bit shorter than typical. Once the dust settles, my normal wordy posting will recommence.<\/em><\/p>\n Follow \u201cthe_musoscribe\u201d on <\/a> Though singer\/guitarist Steve Wynn introduces this set to the audience as a set of covers, this KPFK broadcast is balanced between covers (Bob Dylan, Donovan, Buffalo Springfield) and Dream Syndicate […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,62,65],"tags":[718,1622,2058],"class_list":["post-5706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-release","category-rawk","category-review","tag-dream-syndicate","tag-omnivore-recordings","tag-steve-wynn","cat-49-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5706\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/musoscribe.com\/images\/icon_twitter_small.jpg\"){kind=icon}
