Dinosaur Jr
Live in the Middle East

Every reunion tour should be booked in the same sort of dingy, heads-scrapin’-the-ceiling venues in which the band first started. Maybe then we’d get more obligatory tie-ins like Live in the Middle East. A homemade effort produced by J Mascis’ brother-in-law, the film stays just this side of professional without losing its general-admission feel. (If you could bootleg a show with three cameras and a switcher, this is what’d be stuffed down your pants as you walked out.)

With its classic lineup intact, Dinosaur Jr reconvened at Boston’s Middle East club with Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph reveling in an over-amplified blast of ear-pleasing hooks, unexpected choruses and five-minute guitar solos. Their act still comes off as refreshingly genuine, and bassist Barlow shows a surprising amount of enthusiasm for a guy whose creative output peaked after he was kicked out of the band in ’89.
