Dunno about Leeds, but I thought the Reading set was excellent. You’re never going to get the same atmosphere at a festival performance that you’d get at a dedicated gig, given that >50% of the crowd are probably just filling time until the next band they planned to see comes on. I’m just pleased they’re getting booked each year as it’s the only performance that stands any chance of appearing on UK broadcast TV.

One word. Cunt.
How can people with no musical talent criticise a band as already underrated as Dinosaur Jr? Some people are idiots. Dave is one of those.

, a rocking Mountain Man, Back To Your Heart getting an airing oo. Crowd seem into it imo.
Thank you the BBC. You’re spoiling us with your publicly funded arts/culture and un-biased news reporting!
I don’t feel bad about not going to Reading now. Dinosaur were the only thing I wanted to see and I hate the damned festival scene these days. (adopts old codgers voice) In my day Dinosaur played on the main stage over Nirvana and 16 yr old kids had to get in with an adult! There was no TV coverage and you were lucky if you weren’t by an empty cider bottle full of piss. In fact getting warm piss thrown at you in a plastic Blackthorn cider bottle was compulsory!!I was at the Leeds Fest in ’00. Atmosphere of that show wasnt too bad, at the time (i thought). Would love to see this on freesofree.
DO remember that the portapotties were overflowing everywhere, gross.
Lovely.

He seems like an awfully unhappy, self-loathing individual.
