Live at Raji's is a live album and final release by Los Angeles band The Dream Syndicate.
Containing songs from throughout the band's career, it is the last album released before the band broke up, and came out as a double album on the heels of their last studio album, Ghost Stories. The album was incorrectly reported to have been recorded after Ghost Stories; in fact, the recordings were made (straight to digital 2-track) on 31 January 1988, before Ghost Stories was recorded. The show took place at Raji's, a Los Angeles club, "in front of a delirious hometown audience".
The album was produced by Elliot Mazer, and was re-released in an expanded edition, with the original running order, in 2004. This re-release was reviewed in No Depression, the reviewer praising "Cutler's jagged, eight-legged leads" and compared the album to Neil Young's Live Rust and Warren Zevon's Stand in the Fire; "Raji's is the Syndicate's Television-meets-the-Velvet-Underground sound pushed as far as it would go. It was also the end of an era."
