Wednesday Album Spotlight. Thanks to Jesse, we had our 1st (and only I might add) Let's play a game entry. This was an album that quire frankly I had not played in years so I was happy it was the lucky winner. Looking at the price tag, I suspect I purchased this at Black and Read in Westminster Colorado in the early 90's before relocating to North Carolina. I have all the Dream Syndicate albums up until their 1st break up. I will admit this is not my favorite live Dream Syndicate LP. That would probably be the Live A Raji's release which I still have on CD when I bought it back in the day. It was re-released by Run Out on limited vinyl in 2017 and I was lucky to score a copy at a record store in Charlotte. So yesterday I put this on the turntable while I was working and I recorded several of the songs. I was tempted to post the 9 plus minute version of John Coltrane Stereo Blues but it's not my favorite version of this song.
Also, I did a preview of some Dream Syndicate back in 2010...forgot about that. I did a pretty good write up on them I might add

This is great! Especially sounds great being live. I never paid much attention to the Dream Syndicate before so definitely new for me. I am slightly disappointed I didn’t pick the belly dancing album 😂 but happy to have a new band to check out!
I saw these guys open up for R.E.M. back in '82 or '83 when both bands were dominating college radio.
That would have been amazing. Be sure to go to the 9/15 post and play the game
