Dinosaur Jr Live Performance at Umass Amherst Featuring Part 2 of Concert
Venue: Campus Pond
Location: Amherst, Massachusetts, United States
Date: May 9, 1993
On May 9, 1993, Dinosaur Jr. delivered an electrifying performance at Campus Pond, Amherst, captured in this live video. By this time, the band was riding the wave of their 1993 album, 'Where You Been,' which showcased a more polished sound compared to their earlier rawer recordings. Released just weeks before this concert, the album marked a significant point in their evolution, featuring tracks that balanced heavy guitar riffs with introspective lyrics. Interestingly, this era also saw the band reuniting with long-time producer and collaborator, Murph, after periods of lineup changes and personal struggles. Their 1993 live set thus offered fans a tangible glimpse of the band's journey through changes, passion, and relentless creativity.
