The Vampire Zombie Bunny Army t-shirt and I saw Dinosaur Jr last night. It was awesome.
The t-shirt understands the economics behind it, but still it enjoys the supreme musical result. The t-shirt thinks it was a bit too hot and sweaty though, it has a rather nasty smell today. But, as the t-shirt puts it, "I smell like piss but I saw Dinosaur Jr and after a wash I'm clean".
I saw Dinosaur Jr about a month ago and I know the awesomeness of which you speak. I hadn't seen them (any line up) for some time and it was great to see the original group back in action.
Speaking of shows last night (with a vague reunion theme also): I saw the "final" U.S. show "ever" for Hot Snakes which was amazing as well. On top of their usually great show they ended their encore with songs they dusted off from two of the Hot Snakes's previous band Drive Like Jehu. I think I saw some people in the audience crying during a pitch perfect performance of Luau.
They'll be playing some European dates, I recommend getting tickets if possible.
