First of all, I LOVE Dinosaur Jr. I own many of their CDs, and think they are absolutely brilliant. That said, this concert was the worst I've ever been to. There were two primary reasons for this: (1) It was WAY TOO LOUD, and (2) the vocals were too quiet relative to the instruments. They might as well have been reciting Shakespearian sonnets or reading from the encyclopedia, because they were all but inaudible. Such a shame because their lyrics are often excellent. Although I intend to buy their latest CD, and any future CDs they make, I will never go to another concert of theirs.

For a band I really like, the live show was terrible - way too loud. And while I like guitar and distortion, when it makes it so I can't hear the words or lyrics it becomes just noise.

Too bad, I was really looking forward to this show - my advice, unless your 18 and just want to hear loud guitar, avoid.

Opening act was flat (boring) songs were ok but none of them except the bass player looked happy to be there.

Dinosaur Jr... Jay Macsis looked bored as hell, didn't engage the crowd whatsoever. Played way too many songs off the new album that no one cares about and his solo's went on and on and on and his amp was so loud you could barely hear his vocal or the drums (which was the only energy in the room).... Drummer and bass player had good energy though.

Glad I went to see them once but like I told my girlfriend... if they announced a free show tonight I wouldn't go

Dinosaur Jr. totally rocked!! Beyond my expectations for a band I have loved for 22 years and have seen several times... Just wish they could have played for another hour so I could hear more of my old faves!
Too bad Lou Barlow is such a baby and had to ruin his acoustic set by walking off the stage just because some people were not paying attention to him...

Dinosaur Jr is hands down the best band in the world that most people have never heard of. Their show at the Wonder on Sat, reinforced what I already knew, J Mascis plays in rarified air. It was like watching Neil and Crazy Horse on a very good night. Do yourself a favor and catch this band at your first chance!

After seeing Dinosaur Jr last night the streets were much quieter. Dinosaur Jr still seem to have a magic even with the distance since their inception growing. Opening the set were tracks primarily from the new era of Beyond and Farm. These tracks were good but seemed to be missing some sort of intensity and watching J Mascis sip on a cola and look as though he could be anywhere else, in between the wailing guitar play, did not help me wonder if engagement was truly possible at this show, then, a shift occurred. At the announcement of Barlow, more tracks from the Bug and You're Living All Over Me started to occur and it became obvious what this band was about, the loud, engaging solos from Mascis and the thudding rhythm of Barlow and Murph without the smoothness of the new album tracks. The new tracks when listened to at home are great, but the older tracks seem to be more agreeable in the live setting. It is clear that Mascis has settled back into the realm of studio albums, playing amazing solos, and plain looking tired, (this was one of the last shows of this tour admittedly) but that doesn't mean the band didn't still put on a good display of their music, new and old, that anyone who has a liking for Dinosaur Jr, as well as anyone who enjoys listening to gratifying guitar solos, heavy bass, and solid drum work, should see.

Huh? What did you say? My ears haven't recovered yet from the incredibly loud
Dino show last night. My friend mentioned that "they played their asses off" and
that sums it up. J Mascis is a one-of-a-kind guitarist, who knows how to use his
guitar pedals and impressive fretwork to come up with some astounding sounds and effects, and they have a wealth of classic songs. For anyone who wants Neil to play with Crazy Horse again, this is just the thing to see and hear; kind of a speeded-up version. Lou the bassist the Murph the drummer are great too. They all go very well together. An unforgettable evening.

The room was filled with the most awesome psychodelic rushes - could not have asked for a better environment to let their music become me.

Masics plays magic guitar at will - Barlow put his bass through outrageous paces and that POWER drummer was a treat to be savored. The singing is always a treat, too!

This physical experience is just starting to fade from my body, but will inform my psyche for some time, I'm so sure.

It was the first time I'd seen Dinosaur Jr. and I hope it won't be the last. They cranked the tunes out one after the other with little interruption. Although there wasn't much interaction from the band with the audience which could be interpreted as low energy, it was nothing but. It was loud and the songs sounded great. J. Mascis would begin each song with a little riff from the song to follow and then they would go right into the song from that opening riff. They were great! I will go see them again.

I was a little disappointed, but only cause they didn't play alot of the early stuff. I've seen them multiple times over the last 20 years and they still are a great band, but on a scale of 1 to 10 this was a 6 or 7.

Built to Spill opened for Dinosaur Jr. but we only stayed for Built to Spill. They were as timeless as ever beginning and ending the set with classics. They gave us a good sampling of their new album without over-playing the unfamiliar. It was a terrific show, but short. This is the first time I've seen BTS when they weren't headlining. One day they will play Cortez the Killer live I can rate the show "Amazing", but this show was very good and highly recommended.

Three stars because of venue. I went with a friend. I am not familiar with this group. It was a good concert. The venue was problematic due to the amount of people there. Very crowded. Could have used some food or snacks available to purchase.

Built to Spill was amazing. Dinosaur Jr. was a huge disappointment. J Mascis had his guitar amp cranked up to 11 the whole night, and whenever he played chords it just sounded like noise. Often I could see his fingers moving on his guitar and not be able to distinguish a difference in what I was hearing. The vocals and bass were inaudible the entire show, and at times I couldn't even hear the drums. My ear drums will never forgive me.

Built to Spill sounds great on cd but their live performance just brings it to the amazing level! Dinosaur Jr. Was pretty good, they did a lot of solos which I liked but they had their volume way too high or something, I still can't hear properly now. But overall it was a pretty damn good night.
