Dinosaur Jr.

In the vibrant atmosphere of Riot Fest on September 17, 2017, Dinosaur Jr. delivered a thrilling performance of "Little Fury Things," a beloved track from their iconic 1987 album, "Younger Than Yesterday". By this time, the band was enjoying a resurgence, largely due to their 2016 album "Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not", which was a significant return to form after years of shifting sounds and lineups. It was also a landmark moment, as it showcased the band's signature mix of fuzz and heartfelt lyrics, solidifying their place in the alt-rock pantheon. Interestingly, Dinosaur Jr.'s lead guitarist and vocalist, J Mascis, is known for his distinctive sound, often described as a blend of melodic and gritty, which perfectly shone through during this live set. The energy and nostalgia palpable in the crowd highlight how enduring Dinosaur Jr.'s music remains, even decades after their inception.
