Dinosaur Jr. - "Budge" & "Get Me" (MTV 1993; 1 from 3)

[@duncanrmi]

this session was early 1993, before MTV Europe moved into its new big studios (now also demolished, along with the building where this was recorded). I was doing studio-tech on this- changed the battery in j's mxr bluebox, got rid of the buzz from his marshall & did the monitor mix. on the floor, his pedals were glued to a large piece of perspex, which had its own purple flight case. in lieu of guitar stands, he used bean-bags, as you may just be able to make out. it was extremely loud.

[@smoofest]

Nice!

[@FaxanaduJohn]

London?

[@duncan-rmi]

@@FaxanaduJohn yes. I was in that very room when this was recorded. early 1993.

[@j.t.walter5086]

They're doing pre-orders for a UK 12" EP on wax now. Should be released in a couple of months. 5 tunes. Thumb, Get Me, Raisans, Budge, etc.

[@j.t.walter5086]

I saw J solo about 5 times. He would drive himself to his shows in his tiny Subaru!Pop trunk & pull out Martin and pedals. Casbah, Troubadour,etc. Dinosaur Jr. Many, many more.

[@averyadrian1534]

Budge is a killer tune

[@thatguy203]

Get Me is possibly one of my favorite dinosaur jr songs. Such an awesome song

[@smoofest]

Gotta love that back to back neil young country stomp

[@ChrisWhite-pd1ej]

This is really fucking good. I would agree that these versions are better than the album versions. I would also agree that they are much better than nirvana and just about every other band of the era. You have done a great service to music lovers everywhere by posting this and for that I say THANK YOU.

[@mastabad2]

Mascis spent his entire life’s allotment of energy on this single performance of budge?

[@Huelogy]

Yup no more energy available. Co firmed from mascis himself.

[@g0ated2k81]

never seen j so energetic lol

[@Gratefulrose36]

Comes with the territory of being in your 20s lol

[@goingoutotheparty1]

I am so glad I got all this on Vinyl but its so knackered now I have to listen on net

[@averyadrian1534]

Man my youth - where did it go - you don’t realize what you had till it’s gone… life is so fleeting….

[@mikemathlete]

Murph up there with the best of the best drummers. This is a really sweet representation

[@Gratefulrose36]

I agree. Murph is a beast

[@goctagonrecovery3270]

That snare drum tone is sexy

[@adderon]

Peak era snare tone for them. Murph hadn't given up yet his first time around

[@ReeseChown]

I wonder if that's a Ludwig. Wonderful pop

[@foreverfornow]

The greatest

[@diegoafabila8409]

"Get me" Such a beautiful song.

[@canondare]

I like this version of Budge

[@MegaMumbles]

I noticed that too... But if he doesn't want to end solos, then best not to stop him! They're too good haha

[@fergalshannon]

wow, remember recording this to VHS from MTV back in the 90's, I could never find Budge, thanks man.. so good.

[@jack83aq]

Same here! Had Get Me on an old VHS, never heard Budge. Me and my brother, such as countless other guys of the era I guess, always had a cassete in the videorecorder ready to catch a video. They were the playlists of the time. Sounds like another geological era...

[@mynameisloader]

yeah this song is really good

[@VinceverevecniV]

La grande époque !

[@smoofest]

Might be the best version of get me. acoustic peel session is sick as well as the album version but this is just too good to be true.

[@djefferson5669]

I wish Dinosaur were still mixed this way. At some point J's guitar became more noise then tone and they have somehow forgotten to put Murph in the mix these days.

[@g0ated2k81]

i agree, the mixing in this is perfect

[@FoolishDrunkz]

J. PLAYING A TELE?? still one of my favorite dinosaur jr. sets

[@duncan-rmi]

surprised me too- he had the two jazzmasters & the tele, no guitar stands, just these big beanbags. :-)

[@hobiegunn]

There's an interview w him saying he did all of his studio recorded solos on a tele.

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

@@hobiegunn My wife and I saw that a few days ago and were shocked. I have a Tele and she had the 2012 J Masic Jazzmaster.

[@masokotanga7356]

Where are the lyrics in Budge? I thought the verses he mumbles something. Like; " You're hitting my last nerve. I don't know what to touch. Why won't you just Budge? " I may be wrong; it's been awhile. Getti.g back into Dino, recently. On another note; people should check out the Peel sessions from '88 and Pukkelpop '91. They are stunningly good; great setlists and the quality of the recordings are beautiful.

[@gonfreak4951]

I think he was just so into the guitar part that he didn't sing it

[@masokotanga7356]

@@gonfreak4951 I think youre right.

[@sbob.]

Same I thought I was going crazy

[@Huelogy]

The telecaster had a much cleaner brighter tone than the jazz master. Perfect for "get me"

[@elyaqui5324]

The dinosaur is anything but clean my friend. Without a doubt that's why there one of the most underrated bands in the universe.

[@bobl.1439]

the tele def sounds like the album, which makes since since he records primarily with a telecaster and not a jazzmaster

[@Tron76]

Mascis looks like Tiny Tim

[@JCatJake]

J's playing a telecaster... whaaat?

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

So , shiockingly, he says he only uses a Telecaster in the studio. So what we hear on the records is a Tele not a JM . Crazy!

[@vman33]

thanks for the vids

[@MajorAMinor]

Love budge

[@matthewbuxton4476]

Me TOOOOOOOOOO! 🎸 🥁 🎤!

[@joaodantas9259]

jesus christ murph

[@jaimebeso9876]

Malupet...

[@SuperTlss]

@FoolishDrunkz You are completely right.

[@tradito]

Murph was on point on this whole studio performance. It's a shame he seems to struggle a bit with timing and groove these days.

[@Riza31417]

These guys sound better than Nirvana and appear more cool. Whatever happened!

[@jsmith2502]

What happened was Beyond '07, Farm '09 & I bet on Sky '12 :)

[@SeeSawMassacre]

and Give A Glimpse of What Yer Not

[@txzz4688]

Goes to prove again that the cream doesn’t rise to the top in music...

[@vimes3702]

They evolved, still putting out great stuff. Saw them in Philly a few weeks ago.

[@FoolishDrunkz]

@SuperTlss during "Get Me"? nah pretty sure thats a telecaster

[@hellblazer4359]

2:39 Get Me

[@davidkrause6861]

MVP

[@Huelogy]

Don't skip budge >.

[@SuperTlss]

@FoolishDrunkz its a Jazzmaster

[@illuminatibraincontrol]

Wait, is that a Jaguar?

[@keyswiss1881]

Illuminati Brain Control no its a jazzmaster, take a close look at the pickguard or the pickups. But i can see were you coming from, the light makes it look like the upper part of the guitar is chrome

[@bonsummers2657]

Dreadful.

[@zxy4076]

just the way i like it!

[@ReeseChown]

Budge is a jam

[@Gratefulrose36]

If dreadful secretly means awesome
