Dinosaur Jr.

On May 5, 1989, Dinosaur Jr. performed live at the University of London, and it was a pivotal moment in their career. Just prior to this performance, the band had released their album 'Bug' in 1988, which marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing a more refined and intense style. Interestingly, during this particular concert, you could really feel the tension between frontman J Mascis and bassist Lou Barlow. This friction, which stemmed from creative differences, added a certain raw energy to their live shows—something fans still talk about. 'Don’t,' the song they performed, reflects the emotional weight they were navigating as a band during this era. It’s a testament to how their live performances captured not just the music, but the underlying dynamics of their relationships.
