they came to Mtv (london, UK) in early 1993 & I was doing the monitor mix for them. I got a good look at j's set-up, including a purple flightcase that was about four inches deep, six foot by three foot.... inside was a large piece of perspex, the shape of a kidney-bean, with pedals fixed to it by velcro. he also had a red cabinet, like if a filing cabinet was made by snap-on, with drawers that had cables coming out of them. some of the drawers were locked. very secretive. I fixed a hum that had been bothering them all tour, by re-routing some cables around the back of the plexis. then the tech was trying the pedals... "this doesn't sound right", he says, so we put a new battery in this one pedal. "sounds exactly the same...." so we left it. later I saw j switch the pedal on for maybe one bar, pull a face & switch it off. it was an MXR bluebox. 😂 oh, his guitar 'stands' back then were bean bags. three jazzmasters & a purple telecaster, since you ask. this is the set that's recently been released, though I *know* there was no multitrack, only the (normal) betacam broadcast VTR recordings, which are not great quality audio. I have a load of 1/4" from the same day- out-takes & whatnot, because we used to run a separate tape during studio performances so that the band could have a quick listen (we were mixing for tv, & back then this meant a slightly different mix than you would do for a CD, say). if they'd asked, I could've sent them a load of stuff that would be unique. oh well.
@@duncan-rmi I did see dinosaur in early 1993. Birmingham Hummingbird England. Boo Radleys we're supporting. Lou Barlow was nowhere to be seen which was a shame.. huge part of dinos sound for sure. Mike Johnson was on Bass. It was a great night. I remember it was so loud that J was sick into a bin onstage during Raisans!!🤮 Great gig. So much fun that night!
Wow,only 200 plus views for this vid.Shows how really disconnected this freakin world is.Dinosaur Jr is in my opinion the best alt rock on the planet.Get a grip peeps.
I've seen Dinosaur in almost all their incarnations over the years and I can say unequivocally, that the original lineup is the best. I mean, Mike Johnson is a great musician and George Berz is a fantastic drummer, but Lou's bass playing is totally unique and Murph is a monster on the kit.
Love this track. Great for being with a person or without. Cool that they had guests to sing, and maybe I'm not in the know, but who's Jeremy from Arkansas? Was this some weird 'make a wish' thing? It just would have been kinda a bummer to hear that the next show was Kim Deal or Rollins. : )
@@kevinmccunemusic Lou barlow of Sebadoh, Sentridoh, Folk Implosion, before all that, the original Dinosaur Jr bassist and before that, Deep Wound as the guitarist while J drummed.
I still prefer the studio version, honestly. If they got Jacob Bannon on vocals here (and they were actually loud enough), i'd be of a different opinion. But this dudes performance is as weak as the volume of the mic. They weren't lying when they said "some guy".
Amazing, stunning. One of those sublime moments you get every now and then at gigs.
J.mascis's pedal board is a masterpiece sonic infusion of awesomeness!!
King of the Jazzmaster for sure.🤘

Some Stooges wah wah action
this is some serious jazz-rock or what have you!) J is awesome on the guitar, but who is on the bass?
Lou Barlow

Just next dimensional stuff. When was it last time they played this before?

Best version -

Maybe it was Jeremy's mom back in Arkansas. : )
