Dinosaur Jr.

In the vibrant landscape of the mid-'80s music scene, Dinosaur Jr. was blossoming with their distinctive blend of noise rock and melodic post-punk. By the time they performed 'Chunks' live at the Knights of Columbus in Baton Rouge on November 9, 1986, they had already released their sophomore album, 'You're Living All Over Me,' just a few months prior. This album not only showcased their unique sound but also solidified their position in the alternative music scene. It's interesting to note that 'Chunks' is actually a cover of a track by Last Rights, reflecting the band's willingness to experiment and pay homage to their influences. The gig itself captures the raw energy of a band on the cusp of greater recognition, embodying the spirit of an era defined by authentic and gritty musical expression.
