>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMI9y1QRMQo<< I was there that night. walked out after 40 minutes, couldn't stand the noise they were making or the queue for the bar. dreadful show. I'm sure the band were great, but it was a dreadful show. "construKCtion of light" tour, wasn't it? the noise could be achieved using a digitech whammy & one of those godawful mxr blue box things, I think. (cue blue box/j mascis story) I was working in the mtv live performance studio back in early 1993 when dinosaur jr came in.... at this time, everything mascis used was in purple flight-cases. he was using marshall 50W plexis, three of them, & his favourite selection of jags, jazzmasters & a tele I think. some of the effects were in an upright cabinet within locked drawers, but the main body of them were arrayed on a large piece of perspex shaped like an artist's paint-pallette & which had it's own enormous-but-slim purple flight case. during the tech-check, his guitar tech tried the blue box & made a face. I fetched him a new battery for it, but it sounded exactly the same. we left it how it was, thinking maybe mascis had had the thing modded. during the set, mascis engaged the pedal for about half a bar, made the same face as the tech & switched it off again. much much later, I bought one after seeing john (pj harvey) parrish use one on a bass- it seemed to fuzz the bass up quite musically. I think I used it for about half a bar..... :-) duncan.
