Just 10 days to go, I can’t wait. Annoyed about Sonic Youth/ Bardo Pond clash but I’m seeing Bardo this Thursday so it’s not as bad. Anybody else here going? I’m gonna get totally wasted the whole weekend, i just picked up a nice amount of green

Hoping for some new Dinosaur material and Whatever’s Cool With Me

Just got back from a great weekend. Dinosaur ended up playing twice because too many people showed up for the first show so I got 2 Dinosaur’s for the price of one

Lee Ralando came and sang Little Fury Things on Saturday which was really cool and later Thurston said happy birthday J.

Yeah We Know was the highlight for me but Kracked>Sludgefeast was just as good. I loved Lou’s new one, I still thought J’s was good. Here’s the set lists, couple of tracks may be in the wrong order

Saturday

Lung
Out There
This is all…
Feel The Pain
Little Fury Things
Lou’s New Song
Freakscene
Budge
In a Jar
Forget The Swan
Kracked>Sludgefeast

The Wagon
Chunks

Sunday

Yeah We Know
Gargoyle
Out There
This is All…
Feel The Pain
Little Fury Things
Lou’s New Song
Freakscene
Forget The Swan
Raisans
Just Like Heaven
The Wagon
Mountain Man

I have to go to sleep now

Cool Sam, sounds like you had a good time. Now rest up so you can play that new Jazzmaster!

Bonus. Especially since they didnÂ´t do two duplicate shows(setlists.)

That’s so cool to hear. Good for them. And for you.

Yeh it shows they’re getting a bigger fan base. I hope it encourages them to play more UK dates the next time they come back.

It was def my highlight of ATP! Saw Dinosaur Jr first time in Helsinki last year, but they didn’t play any of the 2nd gen-> stuff so wasn’t expecting them any of that this time either.

Boy was there a big smile on my face when I heard soothing chords of Out there intro!

Highlight as well was meeting J shortly and ask him to sign my Without a sound booklet. Hope it wasn’t too awkward situation for him… Was hoping to meet Mike Watt as well but that remains a dream now.

It was really nice to see how nineties saturday crowd was as well, at least watching from the back all the crowdsurfers…

Thats a cool pic, I caught one of the balloons off murph’s drum kit. I should have taken a camera because I was right on the barrier for the second show.

Found a couple more pics of saturday’s show
