Amen. There's a world of difference between everyone having a good time, and some idiots jumping around because they expect to act like that, and ruining it for actual fans. Some of the best gigs I ever saw, I had my feet planted firmly in the same spot all night, and enjoyed every last note!
Words cannot explain how amazing i feel watching Mascis, Lou and Murph play, they are so badass together! And Mascis, man, i love seeing him play, it is amazing!
Hey man, I agree with you about the kids who just stand totally still at shows and don't appear to be enjoying themselves. Normally, I'm the exact opposite of them. But sometimes, a band is so good that I find myself mezmerized and can't do anything BUT stand totally still and just take every ounce of it in. Dinosaur Jr. is one of those bands to me.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Just because the people in front aren't jumping around like metal patients doesn't mean they're not into it. I automatically presume they're fans, for the simple fact that they're there in the first place. I don't move around much at shows either, and I can assure you that NOBODY is more into Dino Jr than I am.
Did you see at 4:59 J has his eyes closed and he hit his head on the microphone . J seldom shows emotion but he did smile (slighty) after hitting the MIC.
@drawrings I think those people at the front are actually a couple of young teenagers who wandered in to see what all the noise was about and were somewhat confused to find Gandalf spanking a plank very loudly. Probably not their sort of music.
I see what you're saying, but to a certain extent, the performers actually do like seeing some participation in the crowd, shows some appreciation for their tunes
Agreed, well said. I was at a Social Distortion concert once and was almost knocked out cold by some cloudserfing dipstick who fell elbow first into the back of my head. I didn't pay big bucks for THAT experience.
@marcriganoskate: are you one of those mouth-breathers in the front? I think most heartedly you are! Those are the self-conscious individuals who think they are to cool to bob their heads, or have a good time. Now, back flips are arduous to do and are hard on the hands and lower back. I would not be an advocate of back flips at a Dinosaur Jr. (what a most boorish avowal from a mouth-breather!)
Personally, when I go to any concert to see any band/guitarist perform, I'm there to listen to the music, and watch each band member perform their songs, not do back flips or jump about like a baboon. To each his own I guess, but to me, I'm paying to SEE my favorite bands/artists perform. Why would you pay for a ticket for a concert where all you're going to do is jump around acting like a lunatic if you could just put on your favorite music at home, blast it and do the same for free?
4:58
Careful, J.
Lol. I giggled at that part. ^_^
Amen.

Human metronome
Wow. how many people can solo like that with their eyes shut. awesome performance

I'm glad I was around to see what you came to do J....shred on..
The name checks out.

i walked from my house to see this. i love san francisco

and he still nailed the solo. J could probably do a show on meth and hopping on one foot and still shred a perfect solo
He doesn't even have to fucking look at the guitar
One of my favourite Dinosaur Jr performances there. Better than the studio recording.
Vocal is too quiet...
Wow! Awesome.

Look at those nimrods in the front not enjoying themselves. What I would give to have been there!
