Dinosaur Jr - Kardomah Cafe, Sydney- October 15, 1989

[@P-Catt]

I was there. 18 years old. I'm sure it was Sunday night, because I couldn't go to uni on Monday due to total hearing loss. Ears stopped ringing on Friday. Bass player jumped on bouncer's back during a brawl in the street, when they wouldn't let the band back in the venue after the gig.

And on the eighth day he picked up his staff and gave us a glorious noise.

[@donniebobb74]

staff = band members :)

[@JayLouMurphIII]

This is probably the coolest thing anyone has posted for 10 years 👍🏻

[@FreakSceneNet]

So glad Dino fans captured and kept all this stuff

[@jessemullen9083]

I love how Donna and J. both do the swaying thing, so they both look like noise rock bobbleheads

[@mariocosta7966]

Donna Dresch on bass

[@B.P.0]

I was at that gig. Was packed and amazing.

[@henryheartbreak795]

As a longtime Australian Dinosaur fan, this is solid gold. (for a live show from this time the audio is surprisingly good - respect to all involved) Thank you.

[@jackburton3540]

J Mascis is the most shredderific guitarist to have ever lived.

[@johnbruton361]

What's the point?

[@Evanheads]

yeah, it's about to make some noise

[@txzz4688]

Saw them at the Paddington town hall on the Friday. This was Saturday night up the Cross! Donna Biddle on bass.

[@teenagecaveman881]

Donna Dresch

[@SoupA150]

OK, yeah. I was at the Paddington Town Hall gig as well, I was just sort mind blown and wondering how I didn't know about this Kardomah show when I saw the video here. Maybe it was sold out or something. Saw them on just about every tour since.

[@donniebobb74]

a person yells "say something!". gold.

[@freeecountryy]

I can feel the rumble coming from those Marshall stacks.

[@mikebernsly8176]

Man all I can say is f****** wow that's awesome big dinosaur Jr fan good song that brings back memories good ones

[@OldBoothy]

I had no idea they toured here that early. I was 11 at the time :)

[@richardvietz11]

this is one of the sickest music things ever. and i do not say that lightly....!!....

[@henryheartbreak795]

When at 10:15 some dude yells 'GET ON WITH IT!'... they play The Lung... Yeeessss...

[@absolutelynonameslef]

Severed Lips has one of rock's most beautiful solos but J never plays it. I guess he doesn't take the song seriously but I love it damnit!

[@FaxanaduJohn]

Interesting that they played In a Jar because Mascis rarely played that after Lou left. Too many memories.

[@notyurrealdad8743]

So weird to see murph with hair

[@fmonster]

Exactly like this.

[@SkronkJappleson]

i've never seen this before but she was really good on this show, they shoulda kept her around longer

[@craigmack2018]

So good

[@gratefulmule]

[@sinf1442]

M.U.R.P.H !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnblough78]

Only a half stack?!?

[@johnybaltimore3687]

such a Freak Scene

[@johnybaltimore3687]

remembering that music this cool happened and exists to this day is bringing a tear to my eye. needed it today.

[@johnlarrazabal7494]

Did they influence NIRVANA??

[@juandavidrodriguezahumada1530]

Yes they did

[@herbfletcher]

this is right after they dumped Lou.

[@PageandPlant4Life]

hmm not sure where people get this idea that a big muff gets you lost in the mix... loud n not so clear guitar tone here 🤠

[@lonboomer8147]

the no lou tour. donna rox!!! same great bass flavor without the taxing insecure psychotic psychosis

[@rockyhughescopywriter]

Lon Boomer what is your problem with Lou? He contributed a lot to dino!

[@johnybaltimore3687]

Lou and J getting into a fistfight on stage was one of the prime attractions of the 80's shows. like at the Nightshift in Naugatuck.

[@rockyhughescopywriter]

johny baltimore is there footage of that?

[@freeecountryy]

jesus, how much are you in love with lou? that kind of hate only comes from a strong source of envy or spite.

[@lonboomer8147]

i actually love lou and his dino bass quite a lot and i love sebadoh as much as dino. he came out of his shell in sebadoh and created truly amazing songs.

[@nalaxranov]

Where's the bassplayer?

[@absolutelynonameslef]

This was after Lou was removed from the band and before Mike Johnson joined.

[@MusicTeacherGuyNorristown]

Was this after they got rid of Lou?

[@FreakSceneNet]

Yes. This was the first post Lou tour

[@bangtwang3835]

was Lou already out at this point ?

[@fakeis751]

yep
