Here’s the encore on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8WjGu1Ys78
hmm… i think something was said during that break when lou and murph were messing around, but i didn’t catch it. my ears were (thankfully) plugged, so that’s probably why i couldn’t make it out. where were you in the crowd, robert?
I completely agree! A brilliant concert… Here’s a review (in Norwegian) and some photos.
Robert nailed the setlist. The new songs sounded brilliant and fresh, especially Imagination Blind. It seemed like J was on insane guitar solos the entire evening. Lou made some funny remarks about the backdrop (Farm cover art), and said that they’re presently touring their new backdrop. He also introduced Forget The Swan by saying it’s from their first album, which came out in 1985, "the year hardcore died! … for us."

How so? Is it the setlist lacking a lot of new tracks?
yeah… and i’m a bit weary of the "out there" – "feel the pain" combo too. ah well, ’twas a festival gig. they’ve promised us more new songs for their upcoming tour.

hmm. i’m guessing the images are too large to post on the board?
Yes, a great read! Lou is sooo cool. I wish he was my uncle or something.
Has anyone heard some of his new solo stuff, by the way?
I’m really starting to get into this record now. I was a bit undecided after the first listens, and felt that perhaps the second half of the record dragged a bit, but now I’m loving J’s guitar and vocal lines more for every day. To me, it’s definitely the best record since Where You Been… perhaps even the best since YLAOM. I’m still a bit puzzled by the sequencing of the tracks, however. Especially the decision to put Lou’s "Imagination Blind" after the shredding climax that is "I Don’t Wanna Go There". Switching e.g. "Imagination Blind" with "See You" would improve the flow of the latter half… still… there’s not a single weak track on Farm.

I’m new to this board but have been seeing the band live since before they added Jr. to the name.
The 6/22 show was one of the best Dinosaur shows I’ve seen ever. They sounded just ridiculously amazing.reading that made me all warm and fuzzy inside… i’m so excited about this tour!
any chance someone taped any of the troub shows?

It’s in swedish but some might understand it.
It’s from a swedish magazine called "Vecko Revyn", a girlsmagazine. And I think the readers are like 14-20. Not sure, just my thoughts."När jag pratade återförening med den läskigt konfliktorädde Lou Barlow förra året trodde jag inte att det här skulle hålla. Men dinosaurierna har hållit god min. De gör amerikansk smörrock som jag har svårt för – tänk Sister Hazle eller 3 Doors Down. Green Mind från 2006 var tuffare. 3 av 5"
I might translate it later, or someone else….
do they make people pay for that magazine?
nice interview
it’s weird – everytime i read J’s replies in interviews, i read them slooowly, with a creaky, lazy voice inside my head. what a legend.

@Yeah Right: I think I found the Mojo article you mentioned here.
Pitchfork review: 8.5
Quote:With Farm coming out around the same time as the first installment in Neil Young’s Archives project, it’s tempting to make a grand statement about Mascis and Dinosaur Jr. as heirs to the Young and Crazy Horse throne. Young’s genius is pretty inimitable, but there is something about this band– the way they mix noisy guitar and punk-ish slam with sugared melodies and faded choruses– that’s Young-worthy. And as long as J, Lou, and Murph keep shooting as high as Farm, they’ll end up with the kind of discography worth buying over and over again.holy smokes. best new music. here’s to dino!
