Caught the show at Sunset Station (outdoor pavillion) last night and I’ve just got to say…WOW! I’ve never been a "fan" of the band, but as a fan of good heavy music, I’ve always had a healthy respect for J. and what he does. After listening to some of Beyond and experiencing what they do live, I am now a full-blown Dinosaur jr. fan. As mentioned, Dino opened for The Black Keys (who played a hell of a show too), so they only played a one hour set. Unfortunately, I was late getting to the show (which apparently started on time dammit!) and I only caught the last 20 minutes or so of Dino’s performance. But that’s all it took to hook me. As we approached the venue, I realized from a block and a half away that we were in for a treat. I knew that J. & co. threw out a wall of sound, but I was just freaking amazed by not only the volume, but the great sound that it carried with it. Having listened to a lot of Dinosaur jr. tracks prior to the show, it was easy to appreciate the preciseness with which the band executed the songs live. What a fantastic band & what a spectacular show. Freak Scene was definitely the highlight for me. For whatever reason, we don’t often get the opportunity to see legends from the fringe in San Antonio, but I hope that J., Lou & Murph will come back so I can take in a full show sometime soon. Dinosaur jr. f*cking ROCKS!
