It’s just NCDan’s Don’t Bitch and moan, It’s your duty and shut the Fu@k up.
Good grief, Whenever my husband starts using any combination of those words ( hey after 14 years it’s happened) it is my time to tell him
EXCUSE ME, YOU"LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP I AM A LITTLE HARD OF

Is that British humor?
I love that story! When I saw Dino for the first time, it was at the Ritz in NYC, around the time of Bug. The Ritz is now Webster Hall. They were in the middle of a bill with B.A.L.L. (featuring the great Don Fleming and Kramer of Shimmy Disc fame) opening and Big Dipper (college rock) headlining. There were about 200 people in a hall that held 1800 easy. We scored some acid outside and went in. B.A.L.L. was great (as are their records). Kramer playing his Beatle bass and Fleming’s ethereal guitar. The acid kicks in as Dino comes on. We stand stage right , in front of Lou. They are at the edge of the stage (drums too) because Big Dipper had the riser. J had a small Marshall stack, Lou with a single speaker amp, and they were simply the best band ever. I have never seen a show like it. Lou screaming and writhing on the stage. Kramer coming out from backstage, stage diving into a non existant crowd and breaking his arm. The sheer FORCE of the absolute VOLUME of Dino. It is stuck with me forever. It actually hurt my chest.
Has anyone been to Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ? It used to be my second home (my first was The Pipeline in Newark, NJ). We had great parties there. (1988 – 1998). Nirvana opening for Tad. The Jesus Lizard opening for Nirvana. And on and on and on.
YLAOM, hands down, followed closely by Bug. I also have the SST lp for YLAOM issued before the name change. Where You Been is a great sounding record, though.
You really should just be happy to get the chance to see the BEST BAND EVER! Get your tickets now, because if the shows sell out, you will be either left out or paying more to a scalper.
I got tickets to the NC show. We moved here last year after living in NJ for my whole life. I saw Dinosaur Jr on the BUG tour at the Ritz in NYC back in either 87 or 88. The lineup was B.A.L.L., Dinosaur Jr. and then Big Dipper. Does anyone even remember them? I doubt it. They were blown off the stage by Dinosaur Jr. I also saw the Green Mind tour in NYC.
