Dinosaur Jr. ended their tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album, Where You Been, with two shows at The Bellwether in Los Angeles culminating last Friday night. Kim Gordon and MJ Lenderman were among the guests who sat in with the band during the tour finale.
Dinosaur Jr. – guitarist J. Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph — started the shows by performing Where You Been in its entirety, as they did throughout the tour. Tiffany Anders appeared at both shows to help sing “Get Me.”
