COVER FRIDAY: Show Me The Way by Dinosaur Jr. (Peter Frampton cover) - For a brief period of time in the early 90’s, the music scene was all about Seattle. But it was Boston that had one of the most thriving and dynamic alternative music scenes in the country with bands like Mission of Burma, Pixies, Morphine, and many others. But the one band that was my hands down favorite was Dinosaur Jr. Other than Mudhoney, I don’t think there is a band I had seen more of in concert, and every show was pretty stellar.
Everyone knows their rendition of the Cure’s Just Like Heaven. But lesser known was their humorous take on the iconic Peter Frampton hit Show Me the Way. There is nothing really different, but J. Mascis has a way of owning any song he plays, even as he strains to actually sing through the tune. I think there will be much Dinosaur Jr. on tap as I head up to Boston this weekend.
