Posted on by JL

Last week slacker heroes DINOSAUR JR. fronted by legend J MASCIS started
a seven-night residency at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg in Brooklyn to celebrate
the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Where You Been.

Every night they invite guests to the stage. So far Hamilton Leithauser, Isaac
Brock, Kurt Vile, Warren Haynes, Lee Ranaldo, and Kevin Corrigan passed by.

Last night Kim Deal, probably the coolest of all invitees, joined the dinos
for 3 songs. Pixies’ Gigantic, The Breeders’ Divine Hammer, and DJr’s cracker
Tarpit.

Thanks to fan CowboyKidd you can watch footage from this awesome live collaboration.

JOE WALSH (74) is best known as the guitarist of country rock legends
Eagles. Before joining those superstars he had his own band called James Gang.

Walsh founded a charity fund for military veterans’ in 2017. Yesterday he played
with the James Gang members at VetsAid in Columbus, OHIO. It was Walsh himself who organised the event and he invited some big-name acts such as The Black Keys and NIN.

The Breeders with the Deal twins also took part in the 6-hour show.
One of the songs they played was Gigantic. A Pixies classic from their
1983 Surfer Rosa album, sung by Kim Deal. The omnipresent Dave Grohl
joined them on guitar.

Watch them rock out…
