Dinosaur Jr.

At the time of this live recording at the Norwegian Wood Festival in December 2008, Dinosaur Jr. was enjoying a resurgence in their career, having reformed in 2005 after a lengthy hiatus. They had just released the album "Beyond" in 2007, marking their first studio album with the original lineup in over two decades. Fans were thrilled to hear their classic sound blending seamlessly with newer material during this performance. Notably, this live show captures the raw energy and dynamic interplay between J Mascis's iconic guitar work and the pulsating rhythm section of Lou Barlow and Murph. Their nostalgic yet fresh take on alternative rock resonates not just through their set list but in every riff played—a beautiful testament to their enduring legacy.
