Dinosaur Jr. - Don't (Live at Bowery Ballroom w/ Henry Rollins) - 12.5.15 the video didnt do the song or the comingling of dinosaur and rollins justice. i would like to hear this from the mixing desk....
J hasn’t moved that much since ‘97. What a powerful performance. I don’t think Henry has the interest of ever singing again. I sure wish I could’ve been there. Thanks for recording this!
Is there any other official recordings or footage of this or was this the first and last time either of them performed this? I know some of these guests weren't on the original recordings of the songs performed at that show and I'm trying to get the story on this.
No official recordings I'm aware of, but I believe there's some other footage of it around on RU-vid if you do a little searching. This performance was part of a 30th Anniversary week-long residency Dinosaur Jr did at Bowery Ballroom in the tail-end of 2015. Each night, they'd play their first record in full and then do a second set playing songs from their career with guests joining them. Rollins actually introduced the band on stage each night of this run, but, to my knowledge, this was the only night he actually joined them to perform. It was absolutely legendary.
yeaaah i can't imagine the force of dinosaur and henry rollings in this show fucking amazing for sure , months ago dinosaur jr play here for free , it was the best concert really the best of best in many years
