A heads up: Dinosaur Jr. (with Lou!) is playing on the Late Late Show on CBS tonight. They'll probably be on around 1:30 AM EST.

yes....very good indeed

― Aerodynamic (Aerodynamic), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

what song was that?

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

*sigh* I found out 15 minutes late...

― billstevejim, Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

fuck. someone must have tivo'd this?

― cutty (mcutt), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

They played "The Lung," which I found to be very surprising. They seemed to be on top of their game, but I really wish J had sang and played guitar at the same time during the verses...it was awkward to go from that aggressive soloing right into...nothing.

I honestly expected them to play "Freak Scene" or "Little Fury Things".

― Michael Copeland, Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:49 (twenty years ago)

Are they touring?

― billstevejim, Saturday, 16 April 2005 05:02 (twenty years ago)

i caught the end of this and was all what the fuck is that lou barlow ?

― kephm, Saturday, 16 April 2005 05:22 (twenty years ago)

holy shit. that was fookin' killer. J still has the gold(?) jazzmaster, Lou has a rickenbacker. couldn't i.d. the drummer.

craig the host said they were on tour this summer, which means some drivin' time.

― kingfish maximum overdrunk (Kingfish), Saturday, 16 April 2005 07:41 (twenty years ago)

I didn't see it as I was dead tired, but that should have been Murph on drums. Only two signs of the apocalypse to go, people. Pack your bags...

― hector savage, Saturday, 16 April 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

which means some drivin' time.

took the words out of my mouth.

Mind you, the site is explicit with this tidbit:
"Here are the dates announced so far..."

Hopefully the west coast gets the tour as well in august.

― buck van morrison (Buck Van Smack), Saturday, 16 April 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

so is lou back for the tour or what?

― kephm, Saturday, 16 April 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

Yes, as well as Murph

― buck van morrison (Buck Van Smack), Saturday, 16 April 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

well well well, look what's online:

Lou always said that back-in-the-even-more-retarded-day he wanted Dino to get big enough that he could kill J on SNL. I was kinda half-hopping he'd start bashing J over the head while shrieking that revenge is a dish best served cold.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

half-hoping

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

bear in mind that i don't have cable and this is a shitty antenna signal, but:

nice adidas tracksuit on J there...

― kingfish maximum overdrunk (Kingfish), Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

he usually rocks the blue track jacket; green made the network cut, i guess.

great to see him doing his thing, though. usually i see him aroun amherst/noho looking like he's wandered too far from home.

― dapes, Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

all in good time. first, tour enough to paydown/off your mortgage, then take action.

― kingfish maximum overdrunk (Kingfish), Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

yeah lou's got a kid to take care of now! some people are all pissy about the obvious capitalism involved here but fuck it, better these guys go out, make a little deserved loot and play really good songs on the hipster state fair circuit than make another mediocre solo album.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

"hipster state fair circuit" is an interesting way to put it.

still, like the Pixies charging $40 + s/c for the two portland shows alone, at least they better make enough loot to make themselves stable...

― kingfish maximum overdrunk (Kingfish), Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

I may have try to catch one of these shows.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Sunday, 17 April 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

i hope the summerstage one is either free or not expensive.

― hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 17 April 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

Jeezus, if those two can tour Mould-Hart may be doable by 2020.
I last saw Dinosaur (pre-Jr) at Maxwells circa '87.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 April 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

mould-hart reunion? lookie here: http://babelogue.citypages.com:8080/pscholtes/2004/10/28 (this was from a previous post)

is this dinosaur jr broadcast available online anywhere?

― bg (creamolafoam), Monday, 18 April 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

I knew about the one-off; I meant HuDu playing a Grandpas of Indie Rock tour...

That the D.Jr Central Park show links from their site to Ticketmaster is not a good sign. (Sit at the Bethesda Fountain and listen for free.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

As he is playing Donnington, I am going to invite J to my mum's for salmon sandwiches and some crisps.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Hi all, I'm new here, so go easy on me... I just saw them play a semi-secret show at Spaceland in Los Angeles on Friday... and I have to say, they were really, really awesome. They were super tight (which sounds weird considering the material, but I mean it as a compliment). It was great to see Lou play loud music again (and scream his head off). They played only songs from the Lou era, which I guess is as it should be. Anyway, the live show was great, the club was packed, and the crowd ate it up.

― Broadwayjerk, Monday, 18 April 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

somebody sent me a vidcap:

Good grief, what a performance! As tight and as sloppy as you'd hope...

― Nag! Nag! Nag! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

FUCKIN-A! I loved that! I never got a chance to see them with Lou and Murph - tight and sloppy is right.PERFECT!

― ANTONIO DEPIETRO, Tuesday, 19 April 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

kingfish, THANK YOU, that has made my fucking day!!

― bg (creamolafoam), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 08:04 (twenty years ago)

FYI :

there's a fine article in this months mojo by Stevie C re all the fun and action of violence and apathy

- never really liked much of the Bug album. but having read this i now wish i had kept the cassette ..

eleven months pass...

JayLouMurph lineup just played "Forget the Swan" on The Henry Rollins Show on IFC tonight. I practically had an indiegasm - they had Mike on bass the only time I'd seen them live, and I'd missed the earlier TV performance. Exclusive performance of another song here:

That was cool, especially Murph on drums. I never saw Dinosaur Jr. back in the day and would love to get a chance to see them.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Sunday, 25 June 2006 02:04 (nineteen years ago)

The online song is "Raisans", btw.

― Marmot 4-Tay: forth-coming, my child. forth-coming most righteous champion (mar, Sunday, 25 June 2006 02:06 (nineteen years ago)

"The Lung" performance from last year is on Youtube now:

Henry Rollins Show's musical guest next week is Daniel Johnston!

I saw this Rollins Show performance tonight, by chance. They played great, but it really made me feel old somehow. I don't know if it is J.'s hair, or if it is their sound. As beautiful as the sound is to me, it just seems to belong firmly to the late 80's.

― nicky lo-fi (nicky lo-fi), Sunday, 25 June 2006 06:41 (nineteen years ago)

J's gray hair is a bit shocking. It was just a strand here and there of gray last time I saw a pic of him, and Murph is bald now! Lou just looks like Lou though, maybe a touch tubbier.

The Rollins performances seemed a lot tighter to me than the Craig Ferguson one. They've really gotten back in the swing of playing together.
