this is the most horrific venue i have ever been to, and i have been to a lot of horrific venues. the staff were rude, i was treated like teenage cattle, the drinks were grim, there was puke on the floor, there were men in the ladies bathroom, it was hard to get to, it's ugly as hell, has bad acoustics and no atmosphere.

good job dinosaur jr and his vast array of old school special guests were on form and played a fantastic show. god bless their souls.

The junior sounded great as always as they played all of You're living all over me. Afterwards, a parade of 80's era musicians joined them to play Dinosaur songsas well as songs from their own bands-- Johnny Marr playing the boy with the thorn in his side; Black Francis played tame. Pretty dang cool. Terminal 5 wasn't as annoying as i remembered it-- last time i was there it seemed that the audience was outnumbered by abrasive secuity a-holes. A guy right infront of me puked on the ground moments before dino came on but that isn't T5's fault. Great show.

Excellent band. Excellent set list. Excellent special guests (including the excellent opener, Kurt Vile). Seriously, what more could you ask for from a 25th anniversary show. After playing ‘You’re Living All Over Me’ in it’s entirety, the band proceeded to play another 14 songs, both new and old, with various musicians filling in on vocals and/or instruments. Guest stars included Frank Black of the Pixies, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, and Kim Gordon of Social Distortion. Plus several others! Freakin A!

Franck Black, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, J. Stinson, Johnny Marr and of course Dinosaur Jr.... in the same stage but separated of course. Half of my influences were there. Sounds sometimes was a little off but was ok overall. Solid songs and great performance execution. Kim Gordon singin Don't was a blast!

My second time seeing Dinosaur Jr. at Terminal 5 and both times have been unforgettable. The 25th Anniversary of You're Living All Over Me show last night was an all together great time. J, Dinosaur, and all the special guests killed it. Seeing Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth was an incredible experience. She literally screamed her lungs out to "Don't". I've seen alot of punk shows, this one was up there with my favorites.

OK I know I am going to be outnumbered here because the place was packed and everyone seemed to enjoy the concert but I could not get past the poor sound. I don't know if it was Dinosaur Jr. or The Paradise. I love their music and was listening to it all week including the fantastic knew album. They sounded like the high school kids next door to me practicing in their garage trying to play Dinosaur Jr. It might be the venue because it seems to me that the sound is better at places like House of Blues then at the smaller clubs like The Paradise or The Middle East. I liked Hush Arbors. I was listening to their music all week as well.

I fully understand anyone who rips me apart on this review because Dinosaur Jr is a great band but I was disappointed.

I still can't believe that I was able to watch J Mascis shred from 15 ft away for less than $25. That has got to be the deal of the decade.

Very glad I made the trip from Cincinnati to Bloomington. Saw them at 2012 Mid-point Music Festival in September at an outdoor venue, and a club setting was even better. To call the show amazing is an understatement. Nobody else does this kind of music better.

Excelent show. I was surprised that the pace wasn't sold out. J Mascis had 3 Marshall stacks behind him and kind of swayed to the song while Lou Barlow Jumped around with his base. Murph played the drums really well. I kind of liked how they played short experimental, atonal, jam snippets between "real" songs. Classic, highly influential indie rock band, Influencing Shoegazing, lo-fi, grunge, and alternative acts of the 90s. Did I mention they are LOUD? Might take a few days for your hearing to recover to 100%. One more thing- I love this club, but it was kind of hard to find. It is tucked in behind a "Show Girls" club, in a strip mall inside of a mall drive. You can't see it unless you know where you are going and you can't see it from 28th street or the mall drive really.

Seriously, if you know Dinosaur then you were at this show. They are completely badass-asskickers of rock n roll. Even playing a hardcore tune from their previous band, not to mention the surprise guests for "Chunks" at the end of the show.

The only thing I wish for is J to come back and do a solo acoustic set again.

Excellent show as always! I think I've seen every lineup of Dinosaur Jr., and they always play great and rock hard. This show was actually one of their quieter ones, in that I wore ear plugs and my ears weren't ringing afterwards for days anyway. (My ears usually do ring for days afterward.) I'll see them or J solo next chance I get!

As an extreme fan of Dino Jr, I love their music and have all of their albums. But just know they sound nothing like their albums at all when they play live. It is all heavy distortion and reverb, similar to Thrash Speed Metal. I saw them in 2009 when they came last time and it was rough around the edges, but you could still make out the different songs and sing along. I was surprised by how it sounded, but was still able to enjoy the show.
This time, however, it was so distorted I couldn't make anything out, even the different guitar riffs blended into one loud distortion sound. I saw some people heading out early, which was good, because that freed up tables for my GF and I. I just wanted to stay to hear "Feel the Pain" by that point, and then I was going to bail too. But then I realized that for the price of the ticket, and parking, I should just enjoy the noise until it was over. It was a short concert. I think they played an hour and ten or so. No encore, just "this is our last song." NOISE NOISE NOISE and then they left. Very disappointed, but in the end, I can say I saw them live.

I have followed this band for 18 years and I love, love seeing them live. Such an amazing show, perfectly executed and extremely entertaining. I had an amazing time, and I love the Filmore. What a venue for an amazing fan. The sound was impeccable, the song selection was EPIC, and the crowd was even really cool. Thank you J, Murph and Lou for a perfect show!!!!!!!
