The Dream Syndicate is embarking on a fall tour across the U.S. and Canada to celebrate the reissue of their 1984 album, Medicine Show, pivotal to the 1980s Paisley Underground scene. Each performance will feature a full live rendition of the album, as band co-founder Steve Wynn expresses excitement about reflecting on a significant chapter in his career. The tour kicks off on November 1 in Bellingham and concludes in Richmond on December 14, coinciding with the October 17 release of a deluxe four-disc edition containing 42 tracks, including 29 previously unreleased songs.
This reissue and tour not only celebrate the past but also invite fans to explore the band’s creative evolution.
Discussion Question: How do you think revisiting a significant album, both live and through reissues, impacts not just the band members’ perspectives but also the fans’ connections to the music?
