Some really cool J solos on these tracks.Did he play a solo in "This is all I came to do" ?
"trensidoh " wrote:Did he play a solo in "This is all I came to do" ?No I don’t think he did!? The more I think about the way Freakscence sounded "acoustic"
the more I love the version. Has anyone else heard it played this way before?Would be cool to get it up on freesofree.
was good to meet you last night pal.
thought mascis treated it with the disdain that was due, a bunch of industry back slappers on a freebie. he was amazing, but really seemed that he didn’t want to be there (even more than normal).
spent about three hours trying to bribe my way in until some MTV type allowed me her "+1". i love this little venue though, and had a great time, it must be very hard trying to be enthusiastic when you know that half the people there have no idea who you are or are there to enjoy the music.
saying that, i was terribly drunk and may have imagined it. whilst waiting outside my friend and i wandered (by mistake) into some private party, partook in some free beers and tried in vain to get involved with the buffet.
i then got the wrong bus (BUS! That’s how drunk I was) home and ended up completely lost.
top night.
ignore everything above.
You’re right about J not seeming like he wanted to be there.
Loved the way he walked off stage and straight out the door!
I got the unknown song and Get Me on video that I will put up somewhere , when I’ve worked out how to get the file size down to something reasonable. Between the unknown song and get me J says "that’s an excerpt from a new song".cool pic from the show,from dangriffiths.com he’s wearing his dino shoes…

Quote:Tonight, J Mascis playing solo, is in London to re-establish Dinosaur Jr in the UK’s collective consciousness and introduce the new album. This evening’s specially invited audience made up of industry movers and shakers, scribes and photographers, plied with complimentary drinks, is here for a reason and one reason only. Make no bones about it; this is a staged media event designed to spread the word.Given the superficiality of the affair its no surprise J seemed uncomfortable. Looking like a cross between Simon Bates and a bloated Woody Allen, but still with his trademark dangling locks, he barely says a word all evening. But then again, armed with an acoustic guitar and a Fender Twin amp, J Mascis doesn’t need to talk. The noise he propels from the stage is everything we need to know. Never before have I heard such gut wrenching power from such a minimal set up. One man and his guitar practically threw me against the walls. J Mascis likes to play loud. Drawing on material ranging from Dinosaur Jr’s 1985 debut ‘Dinosaur’ through to the new ‘Beyond’ album, he treats us to something of a greatest hits show. Then, with feedback still whining, and without acknowledging the audience, Mascis leaves the stage; undoubtedly satisfied he’s done his job.
Dinosaur Jr’s past eminence and their influence on American post-punk is undisputed. Nevertheless, if tonight’s show is anything to go by The Dinosaurs are nowhere near extinction. They’re intelligent storytellers, very much aware of the frailties of the human condition, yet as ferocious as ever, and sound ready to win over, once again, the true fans unquestionably out there
Here’s my video from Wednesday night
First thing I’ve put up before so not sure if it’s the best format etc
But check it out – nice soloing in Get Mehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZgEQyeWE4 7TZgEQyeWE4
