Dinosaur Jr - Live show Boston

"The show could have ended right there, and it felt like it would as the band left the stage, but they reappeared and delivered an ace version of "Pick Me Up" by request, probably my favorite track off the new record. It's remarkable how smoothly material from what is ostensibly the band's third phase blends so well with the stuff from the first two, and how some of the mostly-young crowd had apparently adopted those songs equally. And while it's easy for me to feel old in a crowd filled with college-aged kids (and in this case, even younger), this time I was energized. Many who hadn't even existed when the first few Dino Jr. records came out were smiling, sweating, and totally in awe of Mascis' undeniable guitar skills. And so was I."
