Dinosaur Jr.

In April 2005, just a few years after their reunion, Dinosaur Jr. was riding a wave of revitalization, having released the album 'Beyond' in 2007, which marked their first record with the original lineup in decades. However, by the time of this live performance on 'The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,' the band was still basking in the nostalgic glow of the 2005 self-titled release, which reignited their presence in the indie rock scene. This particular performance of 'The Lung' showcased their signature blend of fuzzed-out guitars and melodic hooks while capturing the raw energy that fans loved. Interestingly, Dinosaur Jr. is known for their enduring influence on the alternative rock genre, often acknowledged for paving the way for many contemporary bands. Their presence on late-night television not only highlighted their comeback but also solidified their status as forebearers of a sound that continues to resonate with new generations.
