About this item

Steve Wynn and Kendra Smith founded The Dream Syndicate in 1981 and the band was a mainstay of the Paisley Underground movement. Reformed in 2012 by Steve Wynn, the band is still touring and recording.

The LA Times said the Dream Syndicate “rocked with the highest degree of unbridled passion and conviction.”

‘Live Through the Past, Darkly’ is available on CD or coloured vinyl double LP, with both formats including a DVD of the The Dream Syndicate’s ‘How Did We Find Ourselves Here?’ documentary.

DVD includes previously unreleased bonus video of a complete 1984 live show from The Roxy in LA.

The documentary includes Chris Robinson, Stephen McCarthy, Ryan Adams, Chris Cacavas, Chris D., David Fricke, Russ Tolman, Tim Devine, Tom Gracyk, Pat Thomas, Karen Schoemer, Kari Pearson, Scott McCaughey, Sandy Pearlman, Dan Stuart and Howe Gelb.
