Dinosaur Jr.: Live in the Middle East (2007)
Kind of Bland
When I saw the set list for this DVD, I thought this would be golden. Instead it was as I remember seeing them live in 92, kind of bland. I enjoy listening to their albums (Bug and Greenmind are the best IMO, but Dinosaur Jr. live reminds me of a polished high school band. I was excited when they played Chunks, but Lou had no aggression, sure it is 25 years later, but it just sums up what I thought of this performance, bland.
The strobe lights in the video are very annoying. It gets old fast.
If you are a die hard fan, you might like this much more then I did? I enjoy them and consider myself a fan, but prefer to listen to their albums vs. watching them live.
I would have loved to see footage of them in their pinnacle in the late 80's. If this DVD would have been a mix of live shows from years past to present, I think this would have been so much better.

Good Vintage Fun!!
I watched this last night after having a few drinks and I loved it. The style of the film was great, the music, the actors, the editing. I am a fan. Really had the "being free" aspect in it. Made me want to travel back in time to be a teen or young adult in the 70's.
Carol dancing in the mobile home was both sexy and funny. I also loved how Chucks shirt changed from scene to scene (the colored checkered one was awesome).
Just was curious what the connection of the clown was to Maureen? Was it just for a trippy concept or was it something else? It really made a good portrait of how sexuality can be a beautiful thing or can be a horrifying experience. Showed the contrast well.
Loved the film. I'll have to check out the pick up tribute my space page
