Freak Scene


Tuesday, April 12, 2006, saw Dinosaur Jr playing at the Vogue Theater. I met up with Brett, David Magee and Dave Brown at the Wellington prior to the show. We missed the opening bands and waited for J, Lou & Murph to take the stage. Stage left were 3 massive Marshall stacks! Notoriously loud, this sight pretty much answered why. (kinda reminded me of the Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps tour where he made gigantic stage props, but these where real!) The premise of this tour has been to play only the songs that these 3 played while they were together. Of course J recorded as Dino J long after this incarnation disbanded. The crowd was not dissapointed, as they stuck to this except for "wagon" from Green Mind. (at least as far as I can remember) Frightening loud, but not distorted, very clear. J's solos were out of this world. We were all very glad we plopped down $22 for this amazing show.

You Tube

I've been aware of this site for awhile and this morning tried to find a recent Robert Pollard & the Ascended Masters video. So here we go........from the Southgate House in Covington KY. I was there Feb. 2006, Boy in Motion and Love is Stronger than Witchcraft.





And how's this for some classic GBV......
