Completing the set, a previously unreleased third show, recorded in Copenhagen in 1998, showcases songs from across Mascis’ career, including material from ‘Hand It Over’, which would prove Dinosaur Jr’s last album for almost twenty years. Featuring fifteen previously unreleased recordings, and overseen by J Mascis, ‘Fed Up And Feeling Strange’ intimately documents the songwriting, and sheds light on the lyrics and personal development, of a figurehead of late 20th Century American music.
