I don't think it's bad, because its Dinosaur Jr playing their best material. But after Smart Bar, this really feels like a bit of an insult to that whole "for fans only" group who will buy anything you try to sell them and love it. Smart Bar has, from what I've seen, won over even the cynics. This just kinda sounds like crap. Especially since it comes from such a notoriously outrageous live era.

It would be a badass find as a bootleg, but I'm not sure it warrants an official release, and it seems like a waste of great cover art that could have been used on some Dino anthology or box.

I'm not ripping it, necessarily, but I can't get too excited about it. Anyone have any thoughts?

Smart Bar rulez though. New high water mark for live albums.
