In a perfect coalescence of late-’80s indie rock delight, Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine joined Dinosaur Jr. onstage in London Tuesday night (November 14th) to perform a rendition of The Cure‘s “Just Like Heaven.”
MBV and Dino Jr. toured together back in the day, and it looks like they still regularly keep in touch. The latter band brought Shields onstage at a Dinosaur 30th anniversary show in New York in 2015; Shields stopped by Dinosaur Jr.’s Camp Fuzz rock camp in 2019; and J Mascis appeared in a promo clip for Shields’ new Fender pedal last September. And although Dinosaur Jr. have a studio version of their “Just Like Heaven” cover, our records indicate this is the first time Shields has performed it with them live. As you might expect, it was very loud and kicked ass.
Shields also assisted Dinosaur Jr. with “Tarpit” from their 1987 album You’re Living All Over Me, and they dusted off “Thorn” from MBV’s (very underrated) 1988 EP You Made Me Realise. Watch some fan-captured videos of the crossover below — headphone users be warned.
Dinosaur Jr. are in the midst of residency shows celebrating the 30th anniversary of their fifth studio album Where You Been. Their final London gig is tonight (November 15th) before a run of Brooklyn shows next month, which you can grab tickets for here.
