Dinosaur Jr. - Start Choppin' Performance at Woods Stage, Pickathon

Venue: Woods Stage at Pickathon Location: Happy Valley, OR, United States Date: August 3, 2017

In 2017, Dinosaur Jr. was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, having reunited their original lineup in 2005. The live recording from the Woods Stage at the Pickathon festival showcases the band performing "Start Choppin'," a track from their critically acclaimed 1993 album "Where You Been." Leading up to the Pickathon performance, Dinosaur Jr. released their album "Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not" in 2016, which marked the band's first collection of new material in four years. This album and their performances during this period signaled a robust return to form, earning positive feedback for capturing their classic sound. Interesting to note is that Dinosaur Jr. has influenced multiple generations of musicians, and their live shows often reflect a mix of nostalgia and contemporary energy, making events like Pickathon significant not just for fans, but also for their ongoing impact on the indie rock scene.
