Yeah, the way everybody talks about them, I was expecting to not be able to handle the sound. But it still was the loudest show I've been to. I guess I was expecting everything to sound unbalanced and fuzzy because it was going to be loud. But I was surprised at how clearly all of the instruments could be heard and at the overall clarity of the sound. I guess the clarity of the sound and the fact that i was into the band contributed to it not sounding so loud when it actually was very loud.

By the way, my hearing is back to normal now. I might've had some hearing damage because I now listen to my car stereo at 30 instead of at 20 and it doesn't sound so loud anymore. I remember before, 20 was loud but now it just sounds normal. I don't really give a shit though.

I also saw JAMC a few weeks ago and they weren't as loud as Dino.

When I said "during their prime" I meant the mid-80's when they were touring Psychocandy.

SonikJesus · 05.13.2007, 08:37 PM

Yeah, I know. I just added that comment to add to your comment that JAMC were louder at one point (their prime, as you put it) than they are now.

pbradley · 05.13.2007, 09:20 PM

My friend's dad said that their distortion was so high that he could barely distinguish anything. Kind of like Psychocandy.

Wow. When I saw them, the songs sounded very clean and catchy.

pbradley · 05.14.2007, 12:01 AM

Which would make sense since it is after Honey's Dead.

John Violence · 05.14.2007, 12:31 AM

I saw them on Saturday and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

ALIEN ANAL · 05.14.2007, 12:37 AM

im so freaking glad they are coming to Perth
last time i seen them they were so loud, and it wasn't that easy to understand what was being played, but because i knew the songs i could work it out

Does J do a lot more soloy improv, lead stuff when live, or was that me just me thinking he was?

Did you ears explode from that cheap 80's reverb??

Do yourself a favor. Grab a decent pair of headphones and put on "In A Hole" on the highest volume.

pbradley · 05.16.2007, 03:27 AM

Okay, I just came back from the Dinosaur Jr show at Slim's about an hour ago. I'm pretty pissed that indie prudes and fucking venues nowadays are against fucking crowd surfing. What the fuck, it's a fucking Dinosaur Jr concert!

Sometimes I think rock is dead, times like these. Spineless indie twats.

king_buzzo · 05.16.2007, 04:03 AM

^ were they loud as before?

pbradley · 05.16.2007, 05:41 AM

I wasn't as close to the front as before but yeah I would say so.

I also liked how they mixed up the set instead of playing only the new stuff. In fact I only remember about three of the new tunes while the rest were off early albums. They also played Out There and Feel The Pain! I wasn't expecting post-Barlow tunes. Also I couldn't name the last song of the encore despite owning every album. Gotta fingure that one out.

Overall, they brought the rock.

ZEROpumpkins · 05.16.2007, 05:45 AM

No stop saying how good it is! I feel bad enough already that i'm going to miss the concert...

ALIEN ANAL · 05.16.2007, 05:47 AM

oo im so excited
is there any dino songs that are not cool to yell out and request?

It might have been "Just Like Heaven". They changed the last track on YLAOM from "Show Me The Way" to "Just Like Heaven" for the 2005 reissue. If you own the old version, then that's probably why you didn't recognize the song.

pbradley · 05.16.2007, 08:26 PM

I know both of those and they weren't them.

Anyways, opinions on Hand It Over/Where You Been? I think they're amazing albums, shit thing is, Hand It Over is not available anymore, only through Itunes....

pbradley · 05.19.2007, 07:46 AM

So what was y'all's first Dinoaur Jr albums?

My introduction was when I was raiding my brother's CD collection in like '97 and listened to his Without A Sound (and buying my own, as well as Hand It Over after that). It was nice but nothing that got me too interested in looking into their older stuff until Ear-bleeding Country was released in '01 which resparked my interest in the Dino. I've been a Dinosaur Jr fan ever since.
