Dinosaur Jr. - Forget The Swan (Live on KEXP) 

I really wish they'd "remaster" this album with their modern recording capabilities. The songs pop out so much more live than they do on the album.

Damn, J soloed longer then my dad was in my life.

Murphy completely destroyed it on the drums. What a fucking animal. Amazing performance from an incredibly underrated band.

J: "Alright Murph, you're gonna get your cardio in for the week."

Cant believe this song came out in 1985. It sounds as though it was written yesterday. Same with "The Lung".........Timeless music.

Lou singing is really fucking amazing on this perfomance

Crazy to think that J wrote this when he was like 18

J Mascis never fails to shred a solo. Crazy to think he started out as a drummer.

One of the few times J and Lou harmonize. I love it.

one of the most powerful trio's in music

This dude J can guitar-solo forever without a sweat

Best Band of All Time. Period.

Takes me back to high school in the mid 90, laying back in bed stoned off my ass listening to dino jrs first three albums on my walkman one right after the other..

love when the chorus when j and lou sing together

This song's from what, '84? These guys were ahead of their time.

how the fuck could anyone dislike this?

Oh shoot. My face just melted.

mind blowing psychedelic solo

I think Murph needs a cold beer after that effort

Wow, J must be one of the best guitarists ever

This just makes me want to see them live once more. They really kick ass on stage

such misuse and respect for the bass at the same time, incredible

Gorgeus solo... Amazing performance dino

love the flanger effect

dedicated to my dear Grandfathers Nikolai and Dimitri, divine spirit be always with them....

I love it, they have as much or more energy than when they did it way back in the eighties.

Alternative rock doesn't get any better than this. This was everything.....

I have no idea where lou even came up with some of those "chords" he is playing, but holy fuck do I love it!

But your kids are gonna love it.

Saw them on my 30th b'day. Still as fresh as ever : ) I'm now 51 this september & i don't mind that one bit

I can see this is going to be one of those bands where I have a new favorite song every week. Not favorite song by this band but favorite song period.

That song will be the death of Murph

The bassist's voice sounds amazing here.

These guys are the best. I wish 15 year old me found them in 1985 instead of 35 year old me in about 2005. Woulda changed my life

I fucking love this song,My fav Dino jr song of all time.Never get bored of this.Love it

The best that rock n roll may reach

Well I was gonna try and cover this one on acoustic...but after watching this maybe ill keep this cover to myself in my basement

Amazing performance. I think this is the first song from their first album.... just mindblowing

How does Lou play the bass so accurate like that?

Rare to see a great band performing again. :)

"They fly at dawn!"

THIS SONG IS THE BEST

I love that they play so many versions of this amazing song.

Brutal.

It's floating through the abyss Under the brig my head swings down Beware her wrath, the image gone The shell is crumbling, fix my frown This spell would be clear in non-tradition And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk And rape goes through to sin my eyes And shapes know where the heartache will lurk Forget the swan, a stone swims near A stone has come, if I could cheer Forget the swan Forget the swan Drifting among this rubble I guess the waiting, wished I would I found a box, untethered and true Possession it understood Forget the swan, a stone swims near A stone has come, if I could cheer Forget the swan Forget the swan How I tried to warn my neighbor But the corn was much too high In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day But it's not too late brother, I'll still say you were mine Forget the swan, a stone swims near A stone has come, if I could cheer Forget the swan Forget the swan Forget the swan, the dreams are gone The pain goes on, they fly at dawn Forget the swan Forget the swan Forget the swan Forget the swan

love you Lou idk why.... but I do. I like your music too!

I love the bass rumble.

thank you for posting

Imo the best song of Dinosaur Jr! Masterpiece!

Lou being back gives me faith in humanity

my favourite tune

I love this band so much

Got to lean against the stage in Nashville(Cannery Ballroom) in front of Lou the whole show. Could barely hear J through the bass. Loved it! And...got Lou’s setlist after the show and met J! Also, saw them in San Diego, LA and Baltimore on this tour.(Fall 2019)

man, you can tell this performance was loud as fuck. good job who ever did sound on this video.

So good

this guys r just so awesome

A hole in the space time continuum breaks every time J Mascis solos due to the energy produced by his guitar.

Listening to such art in this reality has been an honor.

loveLOVE this song

Wow...another really good song i have never heard....

Soooo good!

Longest and one of the greatest solos

One day Murph is just going to explode behind his drumset.

the best band ever .......

It's hard to believe the gentle quiet guy I seen doing his solo acoustic stuff is an absolute monster on the bass. Typing this I've just realised I've got a Lou Barlow full house of live shows

So sick so clean so rockin so I say

Amazing

J Mascis = genius

I said God damn! 🤘🔥💣

Just a fuckin' great band right hur

Memories.

Epic. Always

totally my favorite song of theres

son unos bravos !!!

This is BADASS!!!!

fucking incredible

On another level

from 4:07 to 7:42 : Thanks J, I

Lou is Crazy!

Have you ever thought about how band that never got a LOT of recognition - actually age better?

Rocks - what is there to dislike about this?

*Mascis soloing* Murph- "alright dude we fucking get it..."

Too sick

Much Love from Canada eh

Holy shit!!!

How does this not have more likes, this world is asshatbackwards

Wow!

Hell Ya

Yeah!

jay is brilliant guitarist

A M A Z I N G

put the video of the whole show

Does anybody know what pedal J uses 2:05 ?

J mascis , dinosur Jr , sebadoh brutal

Wow ! Electric

murph going ham on those drums. Love to see it

Jay M. has managed to create his very own Syle. But the other two are also part of it. Mr. B. his exelente voice and his bass playing, which is in the remotest sense, rather a guitar style on the bass, also makes very important ingredients to make the soup taste as it tastes at DINOSAUR Jr. Unique and immediately to taste, from the day's porridge. 🤜🖤🤛

Guitar game won

Chorus drums fills are gnar

Seems a lot of east coast bands, D jr, Ween, They M B Giants, Phish, love to write lyrics that make no sense, albeit good songs.
