Dinosaur Jr.

In this captivating rooftop performance from February 28, 2009, Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr. delivers the hauntingly beautiful track "Imagination Blind" from the band’s then-upcoming album "Farm." Released shortly after this performance, "Farm" marked a significant moment for Dinosaur Jr., as it was their first studio album in three years, following the 2007 record "Beyond." The reunion of the original lineup—consisting of Barlow, J Mascis, and Murph—added a fresh wave of excitement and nostalgia for long-time fans. This performance at SXSW showcases not only Barlow's raw talent but also highlights the band's enduring legacy in the alt-rock scene. Nostalgic yet forward-thinking, this song’s intimate setting embodies the spirit of Dinosaur Jr. and their resilience in the ever-evolving music industry.
