Dinosaur Jr – Bits and Pieces by O (Tour Documentary)

Live Video, Other

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-OhJhWWBLE

The awesome Otis Bperiod has just shared a pretty awesome treat for Dinosaur Jr fans. Over an hour and a half of footage from his time with the band on the current tour.    Enjoy!
Lots of pretty backstage silliness and live footage showing a side of Dinosaur and the crew most of us don’t get to see.  Lots of rehearsal jammage, Sebadoh and even some footage with Steve Gunn fronting the band for “Yeah We Know”.  Thanks O!
*I’m not sure if he is posting a higher quality copy of the vid later as it has ‘Small’ in the description.

UPDATE – Looks like it was set to private 🙁  Hope those of you lucky enough to catch it first enjoyed it!

Apparently this brilliant recording has just been sitting out on Freedom Has No Bounds since 2010 and I am only now seeing this. How does this happen?  It looks like this was a recording for the station and it sounds pretty good.  “Yeah We Know” kinda falls apart and then they go into “Lose” for track five. My only complaint of this show is that it is only 7 tracks!  New to me and I don’t think it was up on FreeSoFree yet.

Dinosaur Jr Live WKDU Band Bash 05/14/88

via freedomhasnobounds.com  “Here is the first of my live tapes this one is from a WKDU band bash from May, 14 1988. It was a great show with Scab Cadillac (I plan on putting up their 7″and album sometime later), Bullet LaVolta (from Boston right after their first ep) and Flower (from New York – members of Flower later formed Versus) all opening up for Dinosaur. This show was after You’re Living All Over Me but Pre-Bug and Lou Barlow’s departure. I’m really not sure why I didn’t tape the entire show but at least I have the Dinosaur part. I might have only had one tape with me – I was supposed to interview Dinosaur for KDU but they showed up in a beat up station wagon and barely said a word so I skipped the interview (Plus SST did not tell them about the interview anyway).”

There are also some other quality shows over there from Nirvana, Black Flag  Fugazi, Firehose, Guided By Voices, Sebadoh, Jesus Lizard….

Dinosaur Jr live audio streams

News, Other

Yesterday the BBC aired a Dinosaur Jr concert at Brixton Academy from 1994 and made it available for streaming online for 5 more days.  It is a good one with the lineup of J Mascis, Mike Johnson & George Berz and worth a listen if you have not already.  There are a ton of studio sessions up in the videos section.

This reminded me that there were a few other audio streams that are still available so I thought I would share.
