Dinosaur Jr. - "Severed Lips" & "Raisans" (MTV 1993; 2 from 3)

[@sstaners1234]

Back in the early 90’s, when Nirvana came out, MTV did an episode (if you will) of bands that weren’t Nirvana. I think they had something like Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, and Dinosaur Jr on. It was cool to see diversity and not just Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, and Layne Staley 24/7.

[@sstaners1234]

Raisins just rips.

[@donaldjackson9366]

This might be the best versions of these songs that exist

[@g0ated2k81]

100% agree. there is also recording from this same session of them playing thumb, get me, and budge which are also fantastic

[@leoantonio]

There’s an amazing version of Severed Lips on a bootleg from Frankfurt.

[@LPfanatic102]

That guitar sound for the Severed Lips riffs is something else

[@peterlukach310]

That's the one it was recorded on!!

[@void0094]

J Mascis is one of my heroes. The last solo is incredible

[@kevinethridge2183]

More like epic

[@Miomate123]

Raisans is a killer beast song

[@GhostfaceGriller-hd7jw]

I just want to say that Mike Johnson did a fookin mega job on bass! Year of Mondays is a cool record. Mark Lanagan 🎤 drop

[@sticksman1979]

Raisins always blows me away.

[@buchananvanderbilt698]

Loved them from the late eighties to early nineties. Mascis was a rock monster. He had that slacker turned country star thing nailed.... Good guitarist.. a noise master with that Jazzmaster... He was just as cool as I remember him back them!

[@snicker576]

Dang, no love for the past 32 years of the band lol

[@SteveStevens-uv2px]

Never heard before thanks Jesus for them beautiful songs.

[@gotohellaaron]

That last guitar solo was so awesome!

[@oscsmalmoe]

Thanks for sharing. I recorded this on WHS back in the days but the tape got lost. So great to see this again.

[@smoofest]

Im as blown away now as i was when this aired. unreal.

[@SeaAndOutdoorsLover]

I got the entire show 120minutes on VHS (stored as gold). I still remember that day

[@EamonnJ3]

I always loved this lineup - Murph hits hard and Mike J had such a cool 1950’s film noir gangster look - he really complemented J Mascis visually and sonically. I saw them live in Montreal in the 90’s- Swervedriver opened / can’t remember the year - but they were explosive; a bit messy; J blew his amp during a solo, walked over mid-stream of a solo, yanked the cable out of the amp, jammed it in another amp and kept going. J has been such an influence on my guitar playing. I didn’t even realize it until recently. I still practice to his solos on ‘Get Me’ thirty years later. To me that song and those solos are some of the most uplifting and soaring sounds I’ve ever heard - a symphony on a Telecaster. Rock on J.

[@Sasquatch10]

Seeing Swervedriver AND Dinosaur on the same show, that's awesome.

[@EamonnJ3]

It was a great night- but Swervedriver really impressed me when they opened up for Smashing Pumpkins in 93- they blew them off the stage in my opinion. Killer set - - bought Mezcal Head a few days later.

[@fjpd8702]

Nobody but J Mascis can show how a guitar must sound like!

[@vitaobassbr]

i love how dinosaur is depressive and explosive at same time... j mascis is fucking genius... i still love they since 2000

[@kellyrankin8844]

I have to agree that that is a key element of what makes them so good

[@adderon]

The production quality's better than most other 120 Minutes performances from back then. Not surprised tho, it's Dinosaur Jr.

[@jimmitchell8702]

J. Mascis is still a master of rock...making guitarists and singe/ songwriter with Dino Jr. or solo. Still going strong in 2019...keep it up, please!

[@ryanjones4150]

I love the Cousin It look he had back then.

[@johnjohnstandard]

I love this band and this song. The Blake Babies covered this song on their 1991 ep Rosy Jack World

[@POPNDOUGH]

Juliana also did a good cover of Raisans on her "Forever Baby" EP when she went solo. She also named an album "Only Everything"

[@amplifiedapathy]

i started teaching myself guitar in december 2018; just the simple stuff: power chords, open chords, a lot of green day, weezer, and the beatles. november 9 2019 my mom and uncle took me to see dinosaur jr at white oak. before seeing them i had only seen this video of severed lips when my uncle had shown it to me a week earlier. it was a crazy cool experience to see them live, but i wish i would’ve appreciated it more. now, just over a year later, i’m coming full circle and learning their songs on the guitar. the goal is to learn severed lips, but i’ve got some improving to do first. hopefully someday i’ll be able to see them live again and take it all in. until then i’ve got my guitar and some tabs and that’s good enough.

[@amplifiedapathy]

and now i’ve got tix to see them in september!

[@chrisreaney1980]

@@amplifiedapathy What was the gig like?And how's your playing coming on?

[@amplifiedapathy]

@@chrisreaney1980 unfortunately i had to undergo major orthopedic surgery four days before the show :( i had the tickets for over two years and had been looking forward to the show for AGES, but couldn’t go. a friend of mine took my ticket instead. my playing has been going really well recently though! i’ve progressed pretty far on guitar and could probably get this song down in a week or so if i sat down and really focused on it. there’s one video on my channel that shows some of my (mediocre) bass playing when one of my favorite bands invited me to play on stage with them. it’s far from a good representation of my playing but it’s something!

[@liamnewsom8583]

Wish I was alive back to see these guys in the late 80s and 90s

Llevo desde los 90 viendo este video (lo tenía en VHS) y siempre me pareció increíble como en el minuto 3:00 empieza punteo y en el 3:38 es capaz de parar ese caballo desbocado de esa forma. Puto máquina el J.Mascis.

Yep

Uh-Huh.

[@Joormode]

Yep - he was super tight and fast back in the days .

[@jamestillman3150]

Severed lips is played like a half step slower than the album. I usually extremely hate it when a band plays a song slightly faster or slower than the version I’m used to, but that wasn’t nagging like it usually does

Agreed. But Mike Johnson was great too.

[@neojournalyst]

I have done a lot of bad things in my life. Like awful fights. I dealt drugs. I turned my life around enough to join the military. Only to enter war and do other things that scare how I will be judged. Came home with PTSD and started drinking. Then one day I realized that I am going to go to hell when I die. And I think that will take the form of forever being locked into an auditorium during a Dinosaur Jr concert that never ends.

you could use phrases such as "dumpster fire" or "burning train-wreck" to describe what this band does and mean it in an entirely positive way
