Dinosaur Jr. "Raisins" (1994) MTV Europe

[@duncanrmi]

it was early 1993, this shoot. I did the monitor mixes in the studio. it was the loudest thing we'd ever done in there.

[@kevinethridge2183]

Prolly one of the best, if not the best, DJ live recordings ever! Nice job!

[@predeterminedmeat5024]

​​@@kevinethridge2183The 9:30 club in 97 was legendary. The version of Puke and Cry was killer kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXqvkqqDmZ2Mf5Isi=qCb6IESFqJ-N8azj

[@deadelectromix]

Back when J was PISSED.

[@honeypower]

You're Living All Over Me was their peak for sure, a definate cult classic.

[@caio20118]

"Now you'll have to decide the fate of my sanity" Beautiful and sad at the same time.

[@wannabestrega]

J looks so cute doing his little dance 🤭

[@manuteboler]

There's only a few guitar players where you can just feel the emotion and heart and soul in their solos and j mascis is one of them for me, also jimi hendrix, the bends and the noise and all of it, it doesn't feel mechanical or just another part of the song, it feels like words speaking to you without words, if that makes sense.

[@Ilsyndicate]

I’m glad someone else feels this way their song “the lung” is a good example of that

[@isaacmg907]

This is so good, it's ridiculous.

[@chriswhrtn]

j a legend holy shit

[@CarloMarchiori]

wow, this may go down as one the best j's live solos. Also is singing in that period tried to be a bit more aggressive than usual.

[@RicDube]

agreed

[@ChewYourGrouse]

The thing about them is that they played and sang about love in a way that made sense, and still does.

[@deeroks1]

hair covering his face.. just love jay. he's brilliant pure n simple. he could care less about image as long as his music stands the test of time and it does by a long shot! go mascus!!!!!!!!!!

[@shangalang]

one of the best dino jr songs, and one of the best live recordings of the band as well.fucking win all round

[@HeavyPsych]

J is the only guitar player that can squeeze anguish, pain, frustration, beauty and grief out of an electric guitar without being a blues picker. I've always loved this band, cause they weren't afraid to be a rock band. Unlike a lot of anemic British bands...

[@Bernard-Shakey]

This is the best ever live rendition of a DJ song..the solo is a masterpiece

[@AlcyonDesign]

Man that is just so good. There is some damn good music coming out right now if you look for it... But nothin like this. Just freaking totally kickass.

[@g0ldbuG]

it's looks like J's & Co. are playing to the absolute void..something like a post-apocalpytic scenario where J is attempting to conjure back existence with the sheer primordial force of his solo!

[@9inchNirvana]

I've been watching this at least 5 times everyday, even though there is no lou, it is amazing

[@goodrob1985]

these guys made me want to play guitar, legends!

[@ericrobert1825]

Same

[@ogCharaLM]

Way better solo than the album version, too. Makes you wonder if that whole masterpiece of a solo was just off the cuff.

[@juandavidrodriguezahumada1530]

As a drummer I can tell Murph is hitting the heck out of those drum so hard...

[@liammcooper]

I think it's George Berz

[@javiersaravalli181]

​@@liammcooperit's Murph

[@kevinsoria3123]

The lights exploded She stood burning in front of me She ripped my heart out and gave it to me My eyes wouldn't open, cemented to her face Have I begun a feeble chase? I'll be down, I'll be around I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be I'll just stare and hope you'll care It's only everything standing in front of me I know what you did to me I know what you did was wrong You're allowed to torture me Wait a moment until I'm gone I know you're the ticket, you gotta be Cause I let you be alone for long Got to be so completely Got to be so I can't hang on I'll be down, I'll be around I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be I'll just stare and hope you'll care It's only everything standing in front of me I'll be down, I'll be around I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be They're not there, you're standing there Now you'll have to decide the fate of my sanity

[@nateatchison161]

God damn I miss you Mike Johnson. What! Nobody plays like you....

[@matneyself]

I just cried watching that and not for the first time. J, and Morello and David Gilmour for me are the best around.

[@HanginInSF]

What a gem

[@andymanberge]

Ahh, this is great! I love J's solo's..

[@remarc69]

what an amazing version, dino rule..........

[@sciencekiller7689]

J's lead parts amaze me. I put him high on the list of great guitar players.

[@dholliday7700]

Wonder if J ever watches any of these?

[@bonzettobonobo]

3:20 to 3:43 one of the greatest moments of the Electric Guitar

[@HikeYourHurtOut]

I agree!!!! 🤘🎸

[@klioy7000]

i love this performance well good nice guitar sound as well

[@river2352]

klioy7000 Watson! I’ve watched this a thousand times and never saw you

[@brett2278]

Such a good solo

[@claudiosueno5209]

El mejor solo que he escuchado en la vida!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Manelfollon]

Fire

[@legatobluesummers9]

god damn that solo is sick

[@mirfigueroa6478]

This nigga J "main electric guitarist" is not playing i be came a fan off his solo on his video He a beast not go lie

[@Limitlesspower98]

Facts

[@JCatJake]

J Master

[@mpoulampaki]

the best live version ever...........

[@ChewYourGrouse]

The thing about J. Mascis is that he sang about romance in a way that made sense at the time.

[@DaisyChaine]

few people can actually make a guitar talk

[@envika]

mascis' voice is so fierce on this, way different from the original version...

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

true.. I don't think he would be singing today if he had kept pushing his voice like that though

[@nikhils29]

what a solo, can't wait til may 18th to see them.

[@infowazz]

love this group!!!

[@jimkella]

So much better than the album version

[@N8trone]

dude, cousin it can jam!

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

I've been practicing this song lately.. been playing guitar for 20 years, but soloing on this track is actually starting to make my fingers bleed it's that hot

[@djastevie]

great performance

[@blacksabbath812]

inspired many bands especialy nirvana

[@MukbangMukbangMukbang111]

WOW!!!!!

[@ledzepplina]

j's guitar playing ability and song writing abilities are so fuckin sick tht he may subconciously be smarter then he thinks...idk...i hope someone understands, jam on

[@marcusparks]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@S44BBOI]

goldbug that was beautiful hahah

[@g0ldbuG]

cool jacket & belt j wears

[@JohnCannyNH]

Best Hair of all time? I think so!

[@robertstrong6639]

The title spelled the song wrong. It's spelled "Raisans", not the usual "raisins"

[@Evanheads]

musica phodaça... solo muito bom...

[@fitshamer]

...back when MTV actually cared about music.

[@lofi73]

Oh man...Great stuff!!

[@postpunker]

ese es el mejor pinche solo que he escuchado

[@HeartnSoul99]

Awesome band, song and version, thanks a lot RicDube, plus the sound is pretty good, and the song rarely seen on video, isn't it?

[@fabi57iamracer]

i love it

[@ministryod]

thanks

[@sonicdeath24]

Well Lou Barlow once said that J didnt give a fuck about the audience and he would turn up the amps all the way. That was back in the day, i think it hasnt changed a bit hahahaha. J and the band have been using earplugs for the past 20 years so i wouldnt be too worried about them xD

[@jigri_pokhri]

Michael Johnson - the bassist looks like Jared Leto.

[@honeypower]

Thank you for the compliment :) I don't know about current bands though, I mainly just listen to stuff from the 60s/70s/80/90s haha. Though this modern band Piano Magic are pretty great...

[@blindmelon1]

@sciencekiller7689 He's the Hendrix of my generation :)..... I'm dead serious.

[@JDuncanM1369]

Amazing, amazing song. Too bad they speeld it wrong in the title.

[@BigDawg588]

9 fucking haters disliked this man

[@Evanheads]

melhor solo \o\

[@benfranklin5678]

fucking rules

[@minedarea]

Things that J. Mascis does while his hair is completely obscuring his face: *practices at the firings range *plays golf *types his thesis on existentialism in popular music *teaches maths to underpriveliged children *makes love to... whoever *SHREDS

[@Evanheads]

Wahwah

[@bhdoug]

real cool.

[@HanginInSF]

Agreed!

[@bhdoug]

@@HanginInSF yep still cool 15 years later lol

[@Angelinterceptor78]

Quality

[@GEOpz838]

haha yeah I noticed that too..the correct spelling is actually wrong.

[@g0ldbuG]

i. e., the standard J Mascis Guitar Hero Costume

[@iamLizardJohnny]

here our test subject can be seen giving in to the lsd...... haha

[@longview1987]

hair

[@nikelquint]

Where’s lou at ???:-(

[@k311y5m1th]

ill be down... wish lou was around... at this show

[@sdt33]

The title of the song is spelled "Raisans" -- you might want to change that if you want more people to find this clip.

[@BigDawg588]

11 years later lol. I found it though

[@Floskeknosk]

Juliana Hatfield did a great cover version of this one! By the way, check out my videos - Dinosaur Jr Live in Sweden 2005. Mascis totally beats the livin' crap out of Yngwie Malmsteen.

[@ARAGORN41]

A guitar website maybe?... Why come onto youtube for this?

[@ohmah70]

Sounds just like the dude from mudhoney

[@g0ldbuG]

let's not go crazy

[@GEOpz838]

hmmm debatable.. Mascis > Clapton IMO.

[@germanui]

moe de triana¿

[@ministryod]

does anyone know what effect j is using from 1:41-2:01???

[@liamgallagherrr]

jesus christ haha i cant even see the comment but i dont wanna know haha

[@ulcerprone]

anyone have a tab for this solo?

[@mikewatson2055]

Anybody know what pedal J is using at 3:53?

[@Evanheads]

Delay, dd-3 maybe

[@mikewatson2055]

Evandro Depiante thanks!

[@RevoltOfAges]

They were playing at the same time man. That's like saying that The Byrds inspired The Beatles, or that Blue Cheer inspired Jimi Hendrix. By the time You're Living All Over Me was out, Nirvana had already started playing songs that would end up on Bleach live. They were both brilliant, but they didn't influence one another.

[@lesfaul4924]

Dinosaur was cutting albums in 1985. 4 fucking years before Bleach.

[@livingfonz77]

Who's that on bass?

[@RicDube]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Johnson_(bassist)

[@RevoltOfAges]

They didn't inspire Nirvana, Nirvana was already together when You're Living All Over Me came out. They were contemporaries, J was even offered the option to join Nirvana early on in its cycle (though he turned it down).

[@jovenesenasia]

lou is better.

[@ianburma]

Here I miss Lou Barlow...

[@54spiritedwill54]

i love this performance well good nice guitar sound as well
