Dinosaur Jr.

Dinosaur Jr. was on the edge of becoming a major indie rock force when they performed 'The Lung' live in Groningen on October 23, 1987. This performance came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'You're Living All Over Me,' which dropped earlier that year. The album marked a high point in their career, showcasing their signature blend of jangly guitars and raw emotion. Interestingly, during this period, the band's lineup featured the iconic J Mascis, whose distinctive voice and guitar work would go on to define their sound. This live recording captures the band's energy as they delved into themes of disillusionment and alienation—classic Dinosaur Jr. fare. The 'Vera Groningen - Beauty In The Underworld' compilation captures this particular moment in both the band's trajectory and the wider indie music scene, marking a delightful listen for fans of the genre.
