Dinosaur Jr.

In December 2008, when Dinosaur Jr. performed at the Norwegian Wood Festival, they were riding high on the resurgence of their career following their reformation in 2005. Just before this live recording, the band released their album 'Beyond' in 2007, which marked a significant return to their classic sound that fans had longed for. 'Beyond' was a heartfelt blend of grunge and melodic rock, featuring the poignant track 'Been There All the Time.' This performance showcased the raw energy and emotional depth that characterized the band’s identity. Interestingly, Dinosaur Jr. is known for their engaging live shows, where J Mascis’s guitar work shines brightly, blending noise and melody in a way that’s utterly captivating. The 12-track set at the festival highlights not just their nostalgia-inducing hits, but also the band's renewed vigor in the larger rock landscape.
