I was in the audience for this - first performance by these 3 guys together since the late '80's. I was choked up in a big way. They played one other song after this at the taping and did a much better job, but this was the historic take. BTW the applause you hear is 90 people doing "golf claps" and 10 of us dino-lovin' knuckleheads yelling our lungs out.
Craig Ferguson played as a drummer in a bunch of punk bands in Glasgow in the 80s, so don't everybody jump down his throat assuming he doesn't know who Dinosaur Jr. is.
Never install a Gibson Tune-O-Matic bridge on a Fender Jazzmaster, get a Mastery bridge and it will stay in tune because the strings won't get hung up when you let go of the vibrato.
The distorted 90's grunge garage sound always had that effect on me.But now that im older, i decided to go through their entire discography in the interest of getting more acquainted from music from my high school days. I dont know what it is this time through,but im loving it,and am actually dissapointed i didnt realize the genius of these guys earlier. Its all about perspective and theres somethine about me now that appreciates the fuzzyness of the guitar and the unpretentious vocal. Its real.
Dinosaur Jr rock!!!! Jay Mascis still has this sad moaning kind of voice and these never ending noisy guitar solos. My first album of theirs was Where You Been in 1993(Great Album)!!! I still enjoy listening to them !!! Enjoy!
I doubt the absence of Dinosaur Jr really had that much of an impact on the world's overall happiness. And your grandmother must be one hell of a guitar player.
All 80s rockers can still rock - alternative, pop, hair bands. He said they broke up in 89. That's sort of true, & not at the same time. J. Mascis continued Dinosaur Jr. with the guitar player. The drummer left. Then later J. got another new guitar player. Dinosaur Jr. OFFICIALLY stopped Dinosaur Jr. in 1997 after the album "Hand It Over." Everything after that were BBC re-releases or best of type CDs since J. Mascis started hi J. Mascis & The Fog band. Cool that the original 3 are back.
forgot how much i love these guys. reminds me of a nice fall day in new york just fucking shit up playing tag or building bike ramps with the neighborhood kids after school
It doesn't need singing to be a song. You can't define what is and what is not music. If you could, good music such as this cannot exist. Personally, I like all types of music, with or without singing.
I would imagine that the sound guy from the craig fergeson side of things was probably crying that night. Dinosaur Jr. is just so god damn massive. I'm glad that the reformed version hasn't scaled down in volume. As far as being in tune, with how hard j. mascis plays, it's simply amazing that he doesn't break strings.
Yes. Other versions of the band played on T.V. a bunch of times. But that sort of thing only happens to bans with major label support. Lou left before they got that big.
yeah I have a Jazzmaster actually and I've even replaced the bridge to try to keep it in tune a little better but that floating tremelo system isn't very stable. Especially if you jerk it around like that.
i don't think J dyed his hair, it has just been gettin greyer and greyer every year. well this is a jr. reunion because J was makin cds with the fog, and was doing his solo acoustic tour as well which rocked! J is awesome!

Dinosaur Jr were pioneers in music... All that needs to be said. They are incredible!

Saw them in Baltimore as a kid and got my face melted front row.

i wish i could solo like J, its not the technicality of it, its the feel of it and I rarely see anybody who has it as much as J
Anybody notice the sudden drum tempo change and J's catching up to the new BPM? What a well executed "oops I forgot."
In the beginning ? That's how the song is supposed to go, man
+Andrew Campbell Yes it is but I think all the same that here J gets a bit messed up for a moment, possibly nerves
small crowd, not enough to appreciate such awesome talent.
"Houston we have a tuning Problem"
Never install a Gibson Tune-O-Matic bridge on a Fender Jazzmaster, get a Mastery bridge and it will stay in tune because the strings won't get hung up when you let go of the vibrato.
ive never understood how barlow strums like that without accidentally crashing into other strings. bad ass.
Just saw these guys last night at 9:30 club in DC. Amazing show.
How is it that Lou Barlow still looks like he is in his 20"s?
Jesus Christ, Lou.....get old and grey like the rest of us!!!!
I still have my recording of this on VHS. Was so excited for this one! Wicked.
As stoic as J is, I think it’s cool how in this video you can tell how happy he was to be playing Dinosaur songs again.
Genius...pure and simple. J.Mascis is the Nirvana of undying riffs...wow.

I love how J just abuses the fuck out of his instrument.
It's chaotic beauty.
down to earth ..yet magical , like a warm fuzzy (distorted) blanket. Thanks J, Murph, and Lou :)
A Heavy Blanket, if you will.
nice reference! also a good band @@absolutelynonameslef
very hard to stay in tune when you bend the tremolo like a maniac
most enthusiastic ive ever seen j lol
Spot on - but it's still fabulous.
Craig loves this for sure
My influence number one, Dinosaur JR, Grate guitar, custom Mascis! JAZZMASTER 59', The color is unique.
Congratulation Grate Band, Grate Song
I had a whole band doing this sound because I listened to this album so many times, this song being my favorite.
Dinosaur Jr rock!!!!
Jay Mascis still has this sad moaning kind of voice and these never ending noisy guitar solos.
My first album of theirs was Where You Been in 1993(Great Album)!!!
I still enjoy listening to them !!!
Enjoy!
Yeah, these guys still rock after all these years.
*claps* That was great. I’ve always loved this performance. Well done, guys.
I saw them at the Osheaga and they were awesome, no bad singing, like that humguitar guy says....just f***ing awesome
incredible solo
J...he is one of the rare ones
classic geniuses!! dinosaur jr. are legends pure n simple well maybe just j. masc.
their best song!!!!!!!!
Man they sound great
This video made a huge Dino Jr fan out of me!
It's so fucking great to see just ONE effects pedal and it's barely even used. No theatrical bullshit, just fuckin' rock.
Simply amazing.
Best performance of this song
Breaking up at 1989?...haha. Wow, caught that mistake immediately. Regardless, fantastic performance, going to see them December 2nd. :D
I doubt the absence of Dinosaur Jr really had that much of an impact on the world's overall happiness. And your grandmother must be one hell of a guitar player.
They all master their instument very well.
J is so funny when he starts hopping after he starts playing the verse chords LOL
This is pretty great! One of my favorite bands ever.
bad ass as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
right! without a sound came out when i was a senior in like 94! so if they were broken up...right! green mind and fossils are the best!
Best band ever, indeed.

they killed it

awesome. murph is such a great (and underrated) drummer.
J's guitar play is fucking genius.
I saw them a few months ago in Athens.....fucking incredible. They were just this good for the whole show.
Yes. They released "Beyond" in 2007 and continue to tour all over the place.
J is really in the zone!
this is the best guitar song ever made
this song made me love this band, first thing i ever heard from them. and i'm from where they are from.
Yep - Less is more. These guys really nailed it on this one.
Dinosaur jr Rocks!!!!!!!!!
I love how Mascis looks like a freak here.^^ Probably a culture shock for outsiders.
This is off of my fave Dinosaur LP.
awesome band
Right you are!!
J Mascis is amazing! Jazzmasters are awsome!
he rocks a tele sometimes too
wow great!
Honestly, how does J create such beautiful melody
in this song you can hear all of their influences from country to hardcore
Yes. Other versions of the band played on T.V. a bunch of times. But that sort of thing only happens to bans with major label support. Lou left before they got that big.
Mascis' voice is somewhat neil young-y
eatpanda118 dinosaur jr for me has always seemed like a mix of Neil Young, Black Sabbath and the Cure.
makes sense !
nic, how pat of you.
Mascis still rocks the guitar
Easily my favorite video on youtube.
yeah I have a Jazzmaster actually and I've even replaced the bridge to try to keep it in tune a little better but that floating tremelo system isn't very stable. Especially if you jerk it around like that.
thats most energetic ive ever seen j
Right . . Good Rock, is just Good Ol' Rock! :)
Grunge was just a catch-all term for late 80s early 90s distortion heavy alternative.
So true!!
This video contains J's best solo I've seen.
i need that BASS!
Pretty much the only guitar he plays, his pride and joy.
The jazzmaster.
I think that this is what he means. I believe that Lou Barlow left pretty early in Dinosaur's time.
J looks like a wizard
Their bassist reminds me of Mark from Parks & Rec in this video
WOW! Whoever thought they would play that song again??
J Mascis - that's what a real guitar hero should be
well written
whoa nice divebombs J!
No, it's just that indie twing twang sound that bands like Dinosaur and Sebadoh helped develop almost singlehandedly
nice work Sherlock.
I AM THOROUGHLY INSPIRED. ROCK THE FUCK ON!!!!
i don't think J dyed his hair, it has just been gettin greyer and greyer every year. well this is a jr. reunion because J was makin cds with the fog, and was doing his solo acoustic tour as well which rocked! J is awesome!
i just did. i highly recommend it.
haha very nice. very nice
ALSO they didn't TECHNICALLY break up as craig states, just that LINE UP ended. jeepers.
couldnt have said it better.
lou looks awesome playing bass.. lol
sweet
jay looks like a wizard!
Wondeful....wow...the shit!
Yeah, I always thought that that made their sound much fuller.
They were not booed on the Tonight Show.
I think it's cool there playing an older one.
hey ill be at that show too! i cant wait!!
