Dinosaur Jr., the seminal grunge rockers from Massachusetts whose hits like “Feel the Pain” and “Freak Scene” combine thick, feedback-laden guitar and infectious melodies, stopped in Omaha on Sept. 25 to play the Waiting Room.

The Reader spent the night with the three-piece, which includes underground rock pioneer J Mascis and his recognizable Fender Jazzmaster guitars.
