Dinosaur Jr.

In this live recording from August 13, 1997, Dinosaur Jr. delivered an electrifying performance at Riddarholmen in Stockholm, showcasing the raw, emotional depth that the band is renowned for. This was a vibrant period for the group, as they had just released their album 'Hand It Over' earlier that year, a work that demonstrated their evolving sound while still holding onto the grunge and noise rock roots that fans adore. Interestingly, 'Hand It Over' was also their last album before a lengthy hiatus, marking a pivotal transition in the band's career. The live rendition of 'Alone' in this performance captures the essence of the band's live energy and showcases J Mascis's signature guitar work, emphasizing that haunting yet melodic style he’s celebrated for. Watching this performance is like stepping into a time capsule of 90s rock, revealing the band at a crossroads, both in sound and identity.
