Talk about a whirlwind of amazing evening. Just at the halfway point of the week long Dinosaur Jr 30 shows the special guests have included Frank Black, Henry Rollins, Fred Armisen, Charles Bradley, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn, Eleanor Friedberger, Scott Helland, Jeff Tweedy, Spencer Tweedy, Jesse Malin & Valarie June. Each night the band has kicked off the show by playing the debut album followed by a set of other favorites and covers. So far there has not been a ton of videos from the sets posted but I’ll keep updating these with more as they become available.

Dinosaur Jr played the Taste of Randolph in Chicago this weekend and Otis Bperiod was kind enough to give us more behind the scenes shots along the way. Among those shots was a mention of J playing a NEW Dino tune! This is very promising 🙂

J’s No.1 1963 Fender Jazzmaster his go to live rocker. The black pickup covers J put on, the knobs with purple jewels also a Mascis little Twist. The action is set high as he prefers it. This has been his main Jazzmaster for a while now. @dinosaurjr @jmascis #jmascis #fenderjazzmaster A photo posted by —( ????™)— (@otisserie) on

Some kind souls have also shared some video from the show which I you can watch here.
Since David Letterman is saying goodbye to late night TV I thought what better time than look back at the four times that Dinosaur performed there.
Their first appearance was in 1992 performing “The Wagon” while promoting the release of “Green Mind“. They were joined by the Paul Schaefer band as they did from time to time.
Their second appearance was in 1993 to play “Out There” from “Where You Been“. Again joined by Paul Schaefer and his band along with David Sanborn on sax.
Their third visit was in 1994 in support of “Without A Sound“. They played “Feel the Pain” and this time it was just Dino bringing the noise.
In 2007 the reunited original lineup came back to play “Almost Ready” from “Beyond“.
Thanks to David Letterman for all the great years of laughs and musical guests!!
If this got you in the mood for more we have a pretty good archive of other TV performances Dinosaur have made through the years.
Watch J Mascis perform “Every Morning” and “Alone” from Last Call with Carson Daly. These seem to be taken from his set at Burgerama IV so I added them to the Burgerama video page that includes some from the Witch set.
