Emboldened by Dinosaur’s tight performance, the crowd showered J and Lou with separate praise and song requests.The crowd received a brutal version of “Budge.” As J laconically whined “We can crush at high speeds” and Murph wailed away at the drums, violent headbanging storm fronts spiraled around the first mosh pit of the night, under Lou’s watchful...
