Dinosaur Jr.

In November 1988, Dinosaur Jr. was riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album, "You're Living All Over Me," which had been released earlier that year. This live performance at the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden showcases their raw energy and distinctive sound that blends alternative rock with punk undertones. Fun fact: that same year, they also became part of the burgeoning indie rock scene, alongside legends like Sonic Youth. Their mix of melodic guitar riffs and emotionally charged lyrics truly shone through in this performance, capturing a pivotal moment in the band's evolution from underground sensation to influential artistry. The band's frontman, J Mascis, known for his slacker persona and incredible guitar work, was already laying the foundation for what would become a lasting legacy in rock music.
