Dinosaur Jr.

In this live performance from October 4, 1997, J Mascis delivers a powerful rendition of "Never Bought It" at Brisbane Showgrounds for the TV show 'Recovery.' This concert came shortly after the release of Dinosaur Jr.'s album 'Hand It Over,' which dropped in 1997. At that point in their career, the band was navigating through a challenging period, marked by shifting dynamics and lineup changes. 'Hand It Over' is known for its interplay of grunge and melodic elements, encapsulating the band’s enduring influence on alternative rock. Interestingly, this live performance highlights Mascis's signature guitar work and his introspective songwriting style, resonating with audiences who appreciated their raw authenticity. It was a testament to how Dinosaur Jr., despite ups and downs, continued to captivate fans with their unique sound.
