Posted by aubin on Monday, October 10, 2005 at 6:19 PM (EDT)

Dinosaur Jr. have been touring complete with the original lineup of J. Mascis, Emmett Jefferson Murphy III and Lou Barlow. The band recently announced plans to record and produce their first ever live DVD. They will film their upcoming two night performance at the Irving Plaza in New York City, currently scheduled for December 2nd and 3rd.

The DVD will be directed by Gold In Berlin, which is run by Mascis' own brother in-law, German filmmaker Phillip Virus. As well as the live performance, the producers promise "complete backstage footage, one-on-one interviews, behind the scenes goings-on." The DVD itself will also include a number of bonus features.

The band reunited with a first set of dates which took place in the UK this past June, followed by the recent US dates. You can check out a review of one of the original records that was reissued: You're Living All Over Me

Damn I totally forgot this show was coming through....Luckily it was about three months ago so it's not so much a sting as a dull burn. Ah well, still I hope to check out the awesome DVD. -Dante

My friend put a bunch of their stuff on my iPod, and I have to say, it's really good.

I missed them when they played here in Central Park this past summer. But at least I'm glad I'm going to get another chance to see J. Mascis and company. Ramo

Fucking great band.......'Dinosaur', 'Bug' & 'You're Living All Over Me' are classics. But, for me, DVD's are better if they are comprised of performances from their prime.....still sounds cool though.

I'm curious about this live DVD. I remember going to see them a lot in the early 90s and I'm a HUGE fan, but live I felt like Jay just played psychodelic guitar solos for the entire songs and there was absolutely no sense the hook left. Just my opinion.
