THE DREAM SYNDICATE Rockefeller, Oslo, Norge October - 14 - 2017 European Tour Opener --- A LARS M RECORDING NORWEGIAN QUALITY TAPING --- Rec. Info: AudioReality hademade stealth mics -> Olympus LS14 (@ WAV 16/44) -> Memorycard -> HD -> WeTransfer -> my HD -> Audacity (edit/volume boost/balance only) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...and some fine wine in the freezer... Recorded by dear friend and taper genius Lars from second and first row dead center stage. Well... this sounds a bit weird...more like a live soundcheck...Overall sound was quite muddy with some buried vicals on some tracks, then it sounded really clear...a lot of ballyhoo (drunken) norwegian enthuastics of the legendary DS demanding this song and that... Anyway, all my words sound worse that it was. Just another night (out) in the norwegian rock and roll mentalty. A bunch of pics and the setlist scan are included. All thanks straight to dear Lars...not yours Spacey, please! --- Gnnnnaaarf! He was there and me not. Sucks! The opening show of the - rather short - european tour of the FABULOUS DREAM SYNDICATE! What a blast of fine music! Since my first - impressive - encounter with their music - a borrowed MEDICINE SHOW vinyl - back in 1986, I simply fell in love with their "modern" psychedelic rock which cut my heart, soul and even bones as a young guy. At least - as you got so many other things to do as a young adult - I caught them onstage at - back then (weepy me) - fantastic PC69, Bielefeld in September 1988...my one and only show. But...29 years later...and truth has to be told - that one still ranks up in my TOP 10 of personal best shows ever. Something you'll never forget. Paul Cutler on weirdest guitar acrobatics, mindblowing performances of every song, Peter Case joining in on the JCSB and all system volume pushed up on 12/10. Woah! So...about this show...yes...I like it very much. Misses just 2 of my faves..."Your bullet got my name on it" and...where the hell is "Boston"? Otherwise, complaining on highest level only. The new songs are a fine addition to the elder.I enjoyed both "The circle" and "80west", the title track is soul/funky stuff (ok with me) and "Glide" goes into the DS anthem section. But hey...Dream Syndicate...3+ minutes of the Medshow only? Curious! Anyway, enjoy this as much as I did/do. SB. --- FULL SHOW (117:59 min.) 01. Intro -> Halloween (6:47) 02.
