Dinosaur Jr. will see another set of reissues on May 16th from catalog label, Rhino according to Billboard . The label will reissue
the band's first two major-label albums, 1991's Green Mind and 1993's Where You Been that day.
Green Mind will include two b-sides: "Turnip Farm" and "Forget It," plus a cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Hot Burrito #2" with backing vocals by actor Matt Dillon. Where You Been, the band's biggest album will be bolstered by a live recording of "Hide" recorded by late BBC Radio John Peel, an alternate version of "Keeblin'" and a 10-minute live rendition of "What Else Is New." The same day, the label will also release Live at CBGB: The First Acoustic Show, documenting a 1993 performance by vocalist/guitarist J Mascis at the legendary New York venue. 10 of its 12 tracks have never been released. Mascis runs through familiar cuts like "Thumb," "Flying Cloud" and "Get Me" while also digging into the band's back catalog for early favorites like "Repulsion" and "Quest." The set will be limited to 5,000 copies and sold only at select independent music retailers. The band recently announced a spring tour, again with the original lineup of J. Mascis, Emmett Jefferson Murphy III and Lou Barlow. The band reunited in 2005 with a first set of dates which took place in the UK this past June, followed by the recent US dates. Rhino (33 comments)

I've been to CBGB over 100 times and actually was at that 1993 performance. I remember how disgusted I was and just thinking to myself, man I saw the Ramones here and now I got to watch this crap. 4+ Replies

That's rad. I'm a huge Dinosaur Jr. fan and I saw them a few times back in the day but I could never get into their live show. J. is known for his guitar wankery, but come on, at least try to play the choruses....

Where You Been is such an amazing album; the opening of "Out There" is epic. 1+ Reply

Never thought it was possible to be under- and over-rated, but this band proves you can be so.
