Dinosaur Jr.

In 2009, when Dinosaur Jr. rocked the stage at Élysée Montmartre in Paris, they were riding high on the success of their acclaimed album 'Farm,' released just the year prior. This album marked a significant comeback after their reunion in 2005, revitalizing their sound while staying true to their roots in alternative rock. The band, led by the iconic J Mascis, was showcasing their dynamic energy in live performances, and this concert is a perfect snapshot of that. Interestingly, 'Farm' received praise for its blend of fuzzed-out guitars and introspective lyrics, making it a favorite among both old fans and new listeners. The energy of the live show captures that moment perfectly, despite the less-than-ideal video quality. It's a testament to how raw and real their music can feel, even when recorded on a phone.
