Dinosaur Jr.

In April 1995, Dinosaur Jr. performed at the LeFrak Gymnasium in Amherst, MA, during a pivotal moment in their career. Just a year prior, they had released 'Where You Been,' an album that marked a shift toward a more accessible sound, garnering significant acclaim and commercial success. This live recording captures the band at a time when they were grappling with both personal and professional challenges, particularly J Mascis, who mentioned feeling a bit under the weather during the performance. Interestingly, despite these struggles, the energy of the show shines through, showcasing the band's signature blend of grunge and melody. The performance is a time capsule, reminding us of the raw power and emotional depth Dinosaur Jr. brought to their music, solidifying their legendary status in the alternative rock scene.
