Murph is so underappreciated. That dude absolutely shreds those drums.

[@realsaetiafan2868]

Agreed but, when you put him in between Lou and J it's pretty easy to go unoticed. Same way with Alex Lifeson of Rush.

[@haakman123]

+Patty M Since when is Alex Lifeson unoticed? He's like one of the most praised drummers.

These guys represent the three fates of male hair in middle age: Stay the same (Lou), go grey (J), or fall out (Murph)...

[@Intensecure]

😁 If you think that Lou's is natural, you're dreaming..😉

@TheBoi353 not the colour, man. That's from a bottle, LOL! 😁

[@timdoyle6583]

Im at Murph

[@dk5468]

I'm at Murph's stage too

[@cactaceous]

There's only two fates, go gray or falls off since that's what happens. Either you go bald or you just go gray. 50-50. No other way out.

[@deepwound8071]

My Dino Jr story: The band was originally named Dinosaur, and had to add the Jr after getting sued by Grateful Dead-related jam band The Dinosaurs. It seems silly that anyone would get confused between the two but whatever. When I saw Dino Jr in 1993 at the Warfield in San Francisco, I ate a little too many shrooms and while the music was amazing, I ended up huddled up in a little ball against the back wall, just listening so I didn't get overwhelmed by the visuals. After a while I needed some space and I went out to the lobby, where I saw an old hippie wandering around, clearly also tripping, looking way more lost than I was. He looked so out of place, so.... confused. As our eyes met, I realized--he's wearing a Dinosaurs t-shirt. He had confused the two bands enough to come to the wrong show. Poor guy. I've felt bad for 27 years that I couldn't help him understand that moment.

[@donniebobb74]

I was so ready to dismiss this story. I'm glad i didn't. awesome!

[@PaddyCake72]

dude now i feel bad for him and I wasn't even there

[@frankystarrz]

[@madamefeast4824]

No matter you opinion of the songs, Dinosaur Jr is one of the tightest live bands. Kudos to Murph

[@mariocappi1056]

yeah.. I've heard they live just once, and they were amazing! i think it was one of the tightest bands I've ever saw performing on a stage

[@johnnymindfunk]

when Lou is into it, nobody is better on 4 strings. love watching him groove on that thing.

[@morbidmanmusic]

Lowenstein is better...

[@paulphoenix1669]

No other band grabs my attention with each instrument like Dino Jr. I'm usually most appreciative of a good drummer, a catchy bassline is pretty easy for me to get obsessed with but I don't often get "obsessed" with a guitar sound. These 3 lads are so fucking talented,im obsessed with how they're instruments sound together

[@HtiekYeltu]

I have been a fan since 1989, seen them in concert 6 times. One of my favorites.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

They've got better and better over the years. I saw them early on in the UK and some of those gigs were pretty bad. Since they reformed they're like a different band live.

[@Deaddancer69]

At 52, and after seeing them 5 times over the past 20 years, I think it's time to being ear plugs. I've always been dead set against it, but god damn, they finally convinced me! But live, they are just insane.

[@LouisMinett]

The way Lou plays that bass is so infectious, and Jay is so amazing!

[@rubster1206]

i don't know how jay mascis doesn't get into his music he is playing. fuck i would be smiling and dancing. He just feels it from the inside. I respect that.

[@jasonelliott729]

Two bands that blow the paint off the walls live are Dinosaur Jr. and Pixies.

[@joshuaporterfield6774]

Posies, too.

[@RoryGFan-39]

I saw the Pixies a few months ago and they were awesome, I haven’t had a chance to see Dinosaur Jr. yet though so hopefully they find their way back to North Carolina in the near future.

[@jasonelliott729]

I saw the Pixies in Atlanta in 1991 when Kim Deal was the bass player just before I went in the Air Force. She took the stage, spit on the mic, then they proceeded to try to take the stadium walls down with sound. I had a major crush on her.@@RoryGFan-39

[@jasonelliott729]

Guitar player here, but I'm always amazed at how Lou absolutely assaults his bass lol. That guy is incredible and way underrated.

[@calstonjew]

You seen the movie KIDS?

[@michaelehrhart9670]

I think Dinosaur Jr. is getting better and better... Their new disc is EXCELLENT. So glad I purchased a ticket to see them in Atlanta! Stoked! Senor Mascis is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Keep jamming, J., you are excellent! Gotta add, the entire band is kicking the big A these days...drumming and bass lines are stupendous!!!

[@wesweldon8350]

Water is wet

[@theantiantihero]

Those guys are ridiculously good. That about sums up my feelings after watching this.

[@LG-lp7cl]

Dinosaur Jr.: The band analogue of a couple that can’t stand each other, but the sex is fucking incredible

[@TheOneCalledJoe7]

This is such a killer performance. I wish all live recordings sounded this good.

[@DanielDanger420]

You're Living All Over Me has to be the BEST goddamn Dinosaur Jr. album ever. I mean, I like other ones. I like Bug and I like Green Mind and Where You Been? But YLAOM is their greatest masterpiece. I still listen to it to this very day.

[@djohnson2499]

It's between that one and Where You Been. So many good tracks on WYB.

[@nodnarb987]

Farm is my favorite. It's so chill but with this brutal power behind it.

[@gerrydekeu]

Dan D. Warhol i absolutely agree!!!!!

[@nickfanzo]

Dan D. Warhol youre living all over me is their best .

[@quentincollins9338]

J. Mascis, I appreciate your passion! But “where you been” are you fucking kidding me? Unbelievable chops! Great licks! A classic guitar album

[@user-rm9zx7ln9i]

[@melvins1992]

I find myself watching this everyday since I found it, what a great performance and such excellent recording quality.

[@gordonwalley1116]

Same here. A little embarrassed to admit I passed these guys over completely back in early nineties and I'm a musician (SMDH). No worries, here I am 30 years later saying to myself WTF! Lou is an amazing and very unique "next level" bassist. I'll never forgive myself for not being open to these guys when it mattered more.

[@bvaughan3862]

I've practically been a fan of Dinosaur Jr. my whole life. My parents got me their first album when I was 8. That was 30 years ago this year. If you haven't already, give their debut album a listen and you can hear the greatness that was to come.

[@zunamorphunit6411]

Why do I love this band so much?! I am literally addicted and a few months ago I didn't get them at all.

[@Gratefulrose36]

For me it’s the element of heartbreak in so many Dino songs. I almost wanna thank the people that screwed me over that made me appreciate this band. Even post heartbreak I stuck around though, because damnit if this band isn’t 🔥

Honestly I think J is a prophet. And i am not joking

[@thisistheguy]

Turn the bass up, mixers. Jeezus

[@jefesang1031]

thisistheguy That's just the Dinosaur Jr sound. Lou plays with little to no bass, he has his Treble turned way up and likes to play front pickups because of the brightness and still plays on the fretboard sometimes. Plus Lou stated that him and J always tried to make it sound like just two loud six strings but one is a bass guitar. It's unique.

[@zedzero77]

also, Lou uses a guitar head into a bass cabin...cool sounding

Mind you, she was a late 40s Mexican, barely knowing english woman. It was one of the best shows Ive ever been to and an amazing memory with my mom. Something I'll never forget.
