DINOSAUR JR AT THE NEPTUNE THEATRE, SEATTLE
BY MEGAN PERRY
From behind a megalithic stack of Marshall amps, the legendary alt-rockers Dinosaur Jr. (J. Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph) emerged to perform Where You Been in its entirety - along with a few bonus songs -as part of their 30th anniversary tour commemorating the seminal album’s release. The band who carved a deep notch in music history with their matchless mixture of distorted thrash, punk, and rock blended with a smidge of screamo-country immediately tore into the album’s lead single, “Over There.” The mammoth sprawl of sound made by Mascis’ distinctive guitar tones, Barlow’s booming bass, and Murph’s intricate blows reverberated off the Neptune Theatre’s historic walls and signaled that Dinosaur Jr. was ready to shred, groove, and blast out beats for the duration of the set.
