Dinosaur Jr. Live Performance of The Wagon at Riot Fest Chicago
In September 2017, Dinosaur Jr. delivered a powerful live rendition of "The Wagon" at Riot Fest in Chicago, a performance that showcased their enduring legacy. By this time, the band had just released their album "Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not" in 2016, which marked a significant return to form for the trio after years of lineup changes and hiatuses. What’s interesting is that their raw sound, a blend of alternative rock and sludgy guitar riffs, still resonates with fans, demonstrating their ability to connect with both old and new audiences. The essence of their sound remains intact, a testament to frontman J Mascis's distinct voice and masterful guitar work. Riot Fest's eclectic atmosphere further amplified the energy of the performance, reminding everyone why Dinosaur Jr., originally formed in the late '80s, is a cornerstone of indie rock.
