Tough day for Dinosaur Jr.
Dinosaur Jr. had its gear stolen from a trailer outside of a Long Island City, N.Y., hotel Tuesday night, but, troopers that they are, the band members still played its concert at Toad's Place Wednesday night.
Bassist Low Barlow asked for the crowd's patience as apparently they were not armed with the instruments they were used to.
In spite of the setback, Dinosaur Jr., wit all three original members - J. Mscis and Murph are the other two - put on a heck of a good show. So good, in fact, that if you didn't know about the band's troubles beforehand, you probably wouldn't have even noticed.
Dinosaur Jr. has asked for the public's help, so here is a list of the stolen items, in case they happen to make their way to a pawn shop near you:
Guitars:
1959 Fender Jazzmaster SN# 38927 - decal coming off. cracked headstock at top near low E peg. color black with purple/bluish sparkle coming through. adonized pick guard gold metal. tuneomatic bridge gold, tuning pegs gold.
